Reunion

Hello everyone, I just wanted to check in and say that I am making good progress.
Tomorrow or the day after i will release the playable teaser for chapter 5. 

Which already contains almost 25% of chapter 5!

how well do you think these two will get along?

First part done.

have completed the first part of the conforntation.
fight scenes are very time-consuming to design, but are also a lot of fun.
do not want to show anything yet because I do not want to spoil the surprise for you.
(and because you were also unsure whether you wanted to be spoiled or not.)
I will start making the second part of the confrontation today.
I will get back to you as soon as I have completed it.

Since I'm done with plotting I can finally start rendering

I hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, but it was obvious that these characters would be facing each other. 

I always want to surpass myself and because i want the confrontation between rule b and az to be my masterpiece.
I have some work ahead of me, so wish me luck

Plotting is done

Finished writing the rough plot for chapter 5, now I can finally start rendering. Start with the upcoming confrontation that takes place at the beginning of chapter 5 tomorrow. I want to make this one very elaborate, because it's something I've been working on since chapter 1. actually, one thing comes to mind: what do you think about spoilers in the sneak peek?

How important are fight scenes to you?

Hello everyone, I am still working on the plot and putting it to paper.
What occurred to me while writing, how important are action scenes to you?

While I have great fun creating and showing these, they are, after all, a lot of work.
how should i go forward in terms of battle scenes?
For me, any option is okay.
So choose what appeals to you the most.

Work on chapter 5 has begun

I wanted to let you know that I started working on chapter 5.
The very first thing I have to do will be plotting.
Although I know how I will begin chapter 5. (Resolution of the current conflict.)
But not how to continues after that, I have already written it roughly... but not detailed yet.
This will be my task for this weekend, and probably some parts of next week.

Oh and the picture of Arsa was my submission to the boobies day.

Change of Plans.

Hello everyone, first of all I would like to thank you for the support. I really appreciate your trust in me.

Let's start with the bad news. So that we can put this behind us.
Chapter 4 was by far the worst release I've had so far:
Neither my views nor download numbers have increased , in fact on some websites they have even decreased.

However, I blame myself for this.
I published on a monday morning, which is probably the dumbest time to knock out an update.
Especia...

Chapter 4 publich release

Chapter 4 is now online:

Have fun :D

Status Report

Now that Chapter 4 is complete. It's time for the revisions, 

Thanks to some of you who pointed out bugs and errors. I can fix them before the public release

Once chapter 4 is released, I will use the next few days to get feedback and tweak and improve chapter 4 further. After that I will start working on chapter 5.

Until then I wish you a good time and take care of yourselves.

Chapter 4 release/download

I am pleased to hereby release chapter 4.
Chapter 4 took me the most time of all the chapters and I think the result is quite respectable.
I hope you have fun with it and I would be happy if you give feedback.

Update

Hello all, today no render, because I'm working on the finale of chapter 4 and any render would be a spoiler. So I´m sorry.

But i have good news, i am making very good progress and will probably be finished tomorrow or the day after.

After that it will be proofread and as soon as that is done, I will publish it.

I wish you a nice week, take care and see you soon

Chapter 3.5 release

Thank you for your patience chapter 3.5 is finally ready. 

I hope the proofreading helped and the wait was worth it,
since this is a beta, bugs and other errors may still appear, please report back to me if this happens.

Until then have fun with chapter 3.5 and chapter four is also no longer far away

Noel won the vote

The voting is over and I am proud to report that I have finished animating all the nsfw.
all that remains now are 2 relatively simple scenes and the final.
the final will be a little more elaborate, but since I'm looking forward to it, I think we'll get it done soon.
yes end of the month sounds very realistic as a release date for chapter 4

the first fan art i have received

Thank you alot: Maleava. You made my day.

My favorite render of chapter 4 so far...

I love the atmosphere of this picture...

now i just need some melacholic background music to go with it, suggestions are welcome

NSFW POLL Till 17.07.2023

If you have read my last post, then you know that I still have to animate a nsfw scene. had already planned a particular scene. But because of some circumstances, I had to remove that nsfw scene(If you are intrested why, you can write me on discord.) Not so bad, was still in the concept phase so not much progess is lost.
But now I have to decide who do I give the new nsfw scene to, and how I integrate it into the story. None of these Charaters have a nsfw scene in chapter 4 so it would be ...

Some things are better left in the dark.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know how things are going, today I finished the different paths you can take in chapter 4.

 You should not expect such freedom of choice as in Witch 2, where the whole second half of the game changes, but I am quite satisfied with the result.

In terms of overall progress, I'm at about 85%. 

I have one more NSFW scene, two quiet scenes, a somewhat elaborate one, and the end of chapter 4. 

I can't say how much longe...

Wait or right away

Since the proofreading of chapter 3.5 can still take some time and I'm already almost close to finishing chapter 4.
Would it be unfair if you got chapter 3.5 only shortly before the release of chapter 4.

So I give you the choice
Do you want to have chapter 3.5 right now without it being proofread, and full of grammar mistakes (more than usual anyway :P )

or or do you want to wait until the proofreading is finished and you can read it much better and more easily.

To stab or not to stab.

 Developments are progressing well.
i look forward to showing you chapter 4 when it is finished.

unfortunately I can't show so many intressting pictures at the moment because I think that would go into spoiler territory

I hope you forgive me.

I wish you a good week and take care of yourselves.

What do you think eda discovered?

Oh well, I'm now finished with chapter 3.5 or rather chapter 3.8. I have postponed it a bit, sorry for the wait, but now you get much more content.

it's in proofreading right now and as soon as that's done i'll upload it.

for everyone else, chapter 4 is about 80% Done. Maybe less because I want to add on or two addiotnal scenes, but either way chapter 4 will be big. I hope you going to like it.

Done a lot of coding today.

Today I spent most of my free time learning (stealing) new lines of code.
Chapter 4 in it self will have branching story lines which greatly influences the further course of the story. Of course, taking into account the decisions made in the previous chapters.
Now i have strengthened this aspect, no player will have seen everything if he plays only once through chapter 4.
I like that very much because it gives your decision even more importance.

But it has the disadvantage, i...

Intertwined fates

I am proud to report that I have created 107 new renders today. Oh if only I could always spend the whole day working on the game.
Still i am satisfied, although very exhausted.

I´m going outside now and touch some grass.

Which Clara style do you like better?

Which outfit should she use more often?

Quick Update to all.

I'm halfway done with chapter 4.

So stay tuned

Look who is back for chapter 4

Now is that good or bad? Who knows?

Chapter 3.5 is about to be ready.

There is something I am unsure about and would like your opinion. I'm happy to follow your lead, then neither one nor the other means more work for me.

Now the thing is that until the middle of the chapter there will be no NSFW. It just does not fit dramaturgically.
Now the question is, should I delay the release of chapter 3.5 until we get to the first nsfw scene. Or do you want a release right at the halfway point even if it doesn't contain smut.

I like the atmosphere of the picture, even if it is not a special one.
