Dev Log #95 - Absences, side story development, and more!
Hi all! Welcome back to another dev log! There's quite a bit to bite into, so let's get into it!
Absences
As 2024 is wrapping up, I do have two periods of absences that I want to share and be transparent about!
The first absence will be between 18th November and 29th November. This absence is mainly due to me being required to serve my annual mandatory military service, for which I have about 5-6 years left of it recurring before I'm free.
The...
"Trick? Or Treat?" Halloween Dressup Reveal! (3/?)
Tiffany is Asuka Kazama from Tekken!
Donning the clothes of someone known to be brash and who loves fighting (not to mention labeling Lili as her self-declared rival), Tiffany sees no better character to embody than Asuka!
Tiffany: "Heh, now I can teach Trinity a lesson or two!"
Tiffany: "Now... all I need to do is take the bicycle out of the garage, and my look will be complete!"
Tiffany: "But... riding it off a skyscraper....
"Trick? Or Treat?" Halloween Dressup Reveal! (2/?)
Trinity is Lili from Tekken!
Coaxed by her sister into wearing something complicated for Halloween was not something she expected to do, and yet Tiffany always finds some way to convince her to do just that!
Trinity: "I--I wasn't persuaded, I... I wanted to wear this! I... I mean... this dress could be a little looser, I guess..."
Trinity: "A-and it could be something comfier... and... have fewer ruffles... and..."
Watch out for Tiffan...
Dev Log #94 - Storywriting for days!
Hi all! Welcome back to another dev log! Let's get right into it!
Episode 3 progress update!
The bulk of work this week involves mainly building on existing scenes and shaping them depending on player choice and how each path flows!
Without spoiling too much about this, an example is whether you choose to have Cara help one person or the other near the second half of Episode 2. In keeping with the spirit of "choices matter" in Cara in Creekmaw, these...
"Trick? Or Treat?" Halloween Dressup Reveal! (1/?)
Suyin is dressed as Reina from Tekken 8 in the spirit of Halloween!
An idea from her daughter who has played too many video games; it's not like she (or Trinity) could say no to what she has planned! Let's see what she thinks...
Suyin: "Ummm... I'm only doing this because Tiff told me to."
And there you have it! Look out for more dress-up reveals in the coming days!
Dev Log #93 - Proper development resumes!
Hi all, welcome back to yet another dev log! This week, I will mainly detail what's upcoming for the month of October and give the usual updates on Episode 3's development progress!
Spooky-tober is just around the corner!
With this being the month of October, I figured it would be fun to have a Halloween get-together; a small little pumpkin spice of a short story!
The twins are bringing their normally grumpy mom out for trick-or-treating! They will v...
Halloween Teaser!
Suyin: "And why do I need to wear a wig again?"
Tiffany: "Oh, mommy! You're always full of questions!"
Tiffany: "With Trin and me as rivals, we also need you to look the part!"
Suyin: "R-right... and do I have to act the part?"
Tiffany: "... Oh! I think you'll do fine acting like yourself!"
Suyin: "Well... I could do that..."
Tiffany: "Ah! I should teac...
Dev Log #92 - Episode 3 development resumes!
Hi all! The past week has been quite a hectic one as I've been jumping between mirroring the previous test release, working on and publishing the custom renders, and planning and resuming the rendering of subsequent scenes in Episode 3.
Let's get into it!
Feedback and steps moving forward
I understand that there has been a fair amount of positive reception as well as criticism towards the new Interrogation/Questioning mechanic added with the test rel...
Custom Renders for August (and some September) 2024!
Hi all! It's been a long time coming but the custom renders for August are finally in!
In August, there are a whole host of characters in the eight render sets, with some sets as part of a double render or as their own single render sets! I'll be sure to list them clearly below!

[FINAL] Episode 3 Test Release
Hi all! Episode 3 Test Release is finally here!
One big backend change for this release is separating in-game content into "Seasons"!
Season 1 (S1) consists of the Prologue, Episode (E1), Episode 2 (E2), and all current side stories, while Season 2 (S2) kicks off with Episode 3 (E3) starting this test release! You are now presented with an end-of-season save at the end of S1, which can then be imported into S2!
Aside from a multitude of backend changes and catching up o...

IMPORTANT NOTE: about this release: do not save over your 'proper' saves when playing through the game. This ...
[ALPHA] Episode 3 Test Release!
Hi all! Slightly late on the draw but it's finally here!
One big important point to note about this release: do not save over your 'proper' saves when playing through the game. This is to mainly safeguard any progress you may have had at the end of Episode 2, as I cannot promise that saves made during the Test Release will work as per normal in the full release of Episode 3.
Now with that said, here's the first link to the UPDATE-ONLY ...
Apologies + Update!
Hi all! The development has taken longer than expected and I sincerely apologize for that.
But on the bright side, I will start the uploads in about 3 hours from the time of this post!
While it is a Test Release by name, most if not all of the content within this is considered final, and because it has a lot of delicate and big plot points, I had to take the extra last few days to really give the dialogue and renders a good and clean polishing.
With ...
Quick Update!
Hi all! I first want to apologize for the lack of updates the past week, as I was mainly tackling a series of bugs that have reared their ugly head over the last week.
I'm glad to say that these have all been resolved and I will be looking to complete a few miscellaneous scenes that are currently in progress, which I halted to deal with the annoying bugs mentioned previously.
While I have no concrete date set, do expect an update in about 2-4 days from now!
I will be work...
Dev Log #91 - Straight to the point!
Hi all! I'm back from my one-week vacation since yesterday and have been getting right back into development!
Test release update
As a follow-up to last week's mishap, I have managed to re-render all of the missing renders and have had them backed up locally and on the cloud for my own future sanity.
I will take the time to prepare what's left on the docket and aim for the test release to happen as soon as possible. I'm deeply thankful for everyone's...
Unfortunate circumstances
Hi all. Just a quick update regarding the Test Release. Unfortunately, I have been running into Google Drive cloud issues, which has caused nearly half of the renders for Episode 3 to either go missing or have trouble synchronizing to the cloud. I realized something was wrong as I was working on refining the scenes within the test release, noticing that some folders had fewer images than what I normally remember before I eventually caught on to the problem.
Despite my best efforts to q...
Dev Log #90 - More bells and more whistles!
Hey all! Just a little bit more before the test release! Let's get into the dev log!
Poll result!
The winner of last week's poll to decide Sarafe's outfit color is...
Apple Red!
The deep red color and black shirt must contrast really well with Sarafe's complexion to have the lion's share of votes across the two platforms! As usual, thank you...
[E3 OUTFIT POLL 04.5] A foxy collection!
Hi all! The follow-up to Sarafe's outfit poll is here!
While not as comprehensive in the sixteen choices provided in Alexis' outfit poll, there are still a healthy twelve options for everyone to cast their votes on!
