Dev Log #40 - A rough patch

Hi all, welcome! I hope everyone's doing well this week! Let's get right into the dev log for this week as the end of July fast approaches!

Unfortunate circumstances
It has been a rough week for me since the last weekend due to a personal issue that has surfaced out of nowhere, with one of my family relatives attempting to barge into my home demanding money.

With that said (which is all I will say about the matter), I'm safe and generally fine, altho...

Preview Render #30

Hailing from a prestigious lineage dating back several hundred years, Monama ended up settling down in Creekmaw years ago with her significant other.

Her unrelenting gaze is accompanied by a strict demeanor and a no-nonsense attitude.

Monama will be making her debut appearance in Cara in Creekmaw Episode 2!

[POLL-REVIEW] A breakdown of all three polls!

Hi all! For this week's poll, I will be breaking down the three results from the three polls from last week, which were intended for me to gauge general feedback and sentiment towards E1P2 and Cara in Creekmaw as a whole!

The feedback is definitely clear in the polls and I have already finalized a good amount of scenes in Episode 2 based on each outcome, but let's get into the nitty gritty of each poll and describe what my motivation for each poll was and the eventual outcome!

Dev Log #39 - Big Updates

Hi all! The last week has been a big rollercoaster of mainly ups and a few downs. I'll be sure to get into those details and right after, I will be sharing more about what's coming up in E2 as a result of the planning that was done concurrently to the big changes happening around me.

A big boost to the mind...
One of the big changes is that I have finally moved my workstation into my own room, instead of being in an area with human traffic. Now that I'm awa...

[POLL] The 'big' question!

Hi all! To cap everything off and formally conclude the release of E1P2, this will be the final poll for this week that is aimed to gather general feedback and responses to E1P2 and Cara in Creekmaw as a whole!

The post that will follow this poll will be the usual three-part weekly updates which consist of the weekly dev log (the next dev log will discuss all poll results) and preview renders, as I aim to finish planning up to half of the next episode by the end of this week which consi...

[POLL] Gameplay elements!

Hi all! Continuing with this week's series of polls before things return to normal next week, the question this time is focused on the various gameplay elements that were presented across all releases so far (Prologue to E1P2).

These gameplay elements will all be re-introduced back into E2 in some capacity, but the prioritization of these gameplay elements is definitely up for more detailed (and ongoing!) planning.

The series of polls begins!

As promised earlier in the week, I will be having a series of polls that I will be holding that is meant to gauge interest and overall reaction to a few things that were newly presented, such as story presentation, player interaction, and satisfaction with certain existing systems.

These polls will be consecutively posted daily from Wednesday, 5th July, and will all conclude next Wednesday, 12th July!

As a footnote, these polls are not meant to have a right or wrong answer and a...

E1P2 Post-mortem and the road ahead!

Hi all, it has been a busy weekend with the public release of Cara in Creekmaw garnering a larger amount of players, and with those numbers come a variety of bug reports which I have been squashing for the better part of the weekend!

Now that most of the dust has settled and knowing that the game as of now does not contain any game-breaking or show-stopping bugs, it has definitely put my mind at ease knowing that most of the issues surrounding the phone (unless on an old save) are pret...
