Lorepoll

You guys remember the last poll, were i let you have a tiny peek behind the curtains? Well here is it again: information that might be interesting but that I can't just drop into the game without it seeming strange. What additional lore information would interest you?

No rest for the wicked. (Spoilerpost.)

No time to rest, the danger is not over yet.

Powerranking

Thank you for your votes! You all wanted to know the power ranking between the characters, so here it is.

(Unfortunately, it's not in Comic Sans :( had prepared such a beautiful document).

A few explanatory notes about the ranking: The ranking spans from Chapter 1 to Chapter 8 and includes all characters mentioned at least once. Each character is only represented once, in their strongest form. The ranking considers each character's peak strength during any point in the chapters. F...

Work of the last few days

For the record; I have wasted the last few days creating a new animation.

Now you say: What? Wasted? Cool NSFW animations are not a waste.

I have two things to say about this:

1-  Yes, you are basically right.

2- But of course I genius did not make NSFW animations but an action one.

Maybe it's not the best idea to spend so much time on a fight sequence when creating an AVN.
But what can I say, I just had a lot of fun.
I hope you will like the scene ...

And everyone will be swept away by it. (Spoilerpost.)

War is coming. With all its glory... and all its horror.

Spoilerpost?

So this happens relatively at the beginning of the chapter so is it really a spoiler post?

But it pretty much sets the tone and advances the story for the next chapters?

So even if the question might not be hard to answer....
What do you think did Noel discover?

The aspect of the primordials

Results of the survey:

Nael - Fear

Tessah - Euphoria

Dia - Regret

Arsa - Irascibility

Noel - Fear

Ren - Inspiration

Amy - Curiosity

To be honest, I had hoped for a different result.
But I am only your humble servant, your wish is my command.

First sneak peak

Okay, so onto the results of the last vote. The narrow majority wanted me to stay with my current frequency, but "once a week" was not far behind. So, I figured that from now on, I'll post something about every four days, which I think is a good compromise.

Which brings us to today's post. You see the two ladies, of course you do. These two ladies, or rather, who their master is, will play an important role in the next chapter. A great conflict is brewing that will engulf everything. Bu...

Work is going full steam ahead and a survey.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I am fully back in the workflow. I'm really looking forward to bringing Chapter 9 to life and can't wait to share the new plot twists and storylines with you.

Also, since we have some new Patreons, (by the way, thank you so much for your support, I love you all), I wanted to ask how frequently you would like to get updated by me.

I have talked to other devs about this, and when I mentioned that I usually post something every 2 t...

Chapter 8 now public.

Hey everyone, 
Chapter 8 is now live for public. Download here:

Have Fun!

The future

As you know, I always use the time between Patreon release and public release to prepare myself. That means fixing bugs from the old chapter (if you find any, please let me know) and thinking about the next chapter. More on that now: "Companion of Darkness" is getting too big, filesize-wise.

But how to deal with it? Well, my task over the next few days will be to find a solution to that, in addition to preparing for Chapter 9.

Small Update

Hello, my dedicated supporters!

I'm thrilled to share that I've been hard at work squashing bugs, and I've successfully resolved all the issues I've encountered thus far. Additionally, I'm pleased to announce that the pesky white/gray checkered field that appeared before each animation has been eliminated. Your feedback is invaluable, so if you stumble upon any errors, please don't hesitate to send them my way.

Currently, I'm meticulously refining the grammar—quite the undertaki...

Hello everyone.

Hello everyone,

Firstly, I hope those of you who have already delved into Chapter 8 have enjoyed it thoroughly.

Moving forward, I'd like to outline my plans for the upcoming days. Your feedback is invaluable, so please do report any bugs or errors you encounter. With the introduction of our new UI and the addition of a gallery function, there's a chance that some bugs may have slipped through the cracks. I've already identified a few and am actively working on rectifying them. Add...

One year anniversary.

Hey all!

Big news: "Companion of Darkness" just hit its one-year milestone! Can you believe it? I certainly couldn't have made it here without all of your amazing support. Seriously, you all rock!

To celebrate, I'm happy to announce the release of Chapter 8. Get ready for the thrilling conclusion of Act 2 and the exciting beginning of Act 3. Plus, I've given the game a makeover with a revamped gallery and a slick new UI. I hope you likeit!

I'm eager to hear your thoughts on ...

Chapter 8

Hello everyone. The time has finally come. Companion of darkness has just turned one year old.

To be honest, I never thought I would last a year, but your support has made it possible, this day belongs to you and not to me.

To celebrate the day, here is chapter 8,the finale of act 2 and the beginning of act 3.

Some facts:
Chapter 8 adds:
- About additional 1500 additional renders. Over 40 new animations.

I hope you enjoy it and be entertained by it.

PC:...

Uploading and me.

Hello everyone, so first, the good news: Chapter 8 is completely finished and is uploading right now. I did a playtest, and it looks like everything is working as I want it to. Those of you who have been with me for a while know that my internet is so bad that it would probably be faster if I got on my bike and delivered Chapter 8 to each and every one of you via USB stick.

Well, so much for the known. As you probably know, I have tried other file hosts for the upload of Chapter 7.5 bec...

Working on the UI

I am currently working on the UI,
or rather I have hired someone to work on the UI for me. So that I can concentrate fully on working on chapter 8. I really hope that it will be finished by the time i am done with chapter 8.
here you can see the new main menu, still work in progress.

and here we go again...

It looks as if the two of them just can't stop arguing.
it's about time mc settles this.

oh i don't know if you see this but for this render i had to lower the quality because my pc strangely always crashes when i try to capture it at normal quality. (My pc is more potato than technology.)It is just this particular location and the scene is rather small, only about 30 render. But still annoying...

Only a fool would hope...

to be able to travel through france without having to fight.
Many Companions there see the energy that our main character emits not as a danger, but as an opportunity to enrich themselves.

(Spoilerpost.) Not every injury can be seen

Even if you manage to save Emma. Is it not over yet.
Some wounds are difficult to heal.

progress

Hi hi

I spent the last two days fixing bugs and rewriting the story a bit. Boring, I know. But tomorrow I'm going to start rendering again and then there will be some sneak peaks. 

If I had to give a percentage of how far I am, I would say about 70%, but all in all it depends on how easy the second nsfw scene is for me. Things I'm not familiar with are hard to judge, but I'll keep you posted.
