Artist is wrapping up the final images and faces. We had to redo one so those will all be in on Thursday. From there I can get them in the game and wrap up the face animations. There are 16 poses and many of them have face animations to do so I'm hesitant to give an ETA until I've made some more progress, but it won't be much longer.

Just a heads-up but we're changing the names of the support tiers. There's no difference to the rewards or cost, just making it more on theme and intuitive.
New names will be:
Basic → Copper
Premium → Silver
Ultra → Gold
Artist is finishing the last background for version 0.13 today and the release should be wrapped up within a week. Version 0.12b just dropped with some updates to the menu UI and game systems. Previously viewed gallery scenes will probably no longer be unlocked, but you can fix this by entering "RIPHARAMBE" into the cheat code screen to unlock everything. The new audio should be working fine with old saves but I added a "Reset Audio" debug button under Audio Options in case anyone has unexpec...

We're about half way through July and we're making good progress on the upcoming 0.13 release. All 3 new character sprites are done along with their faces, clothing, and poses. Artist has 4 more scenes and 3 backgrounds left to go. If we remain on track with no surprises the art will be done on 8/3, so a safe bet for the release will be around 8/5 or 8/6.

Version 0.12 is just about done. Escape Artist finished up the last of the artwork on Wednesday and I've been adding everything in. Story-wise 0.12 is a very short update since the scene immediately following this requires new sprites and locations that are getting bundled into version 0.13. We both have extra time this summer so we're targeting 30 day release windows with more content for July & August. After those releases we're switching our focus to the romance routes.
Version 0.12 is nearly complete and is on track for a June release.
For June, July, & August we'll be aiming for faster 30-day releases to finish the last few story beats following the conclusion of the prologue chapter. We'll be introducing the final 2 main characters and 2 new side characters.
After these faster releases we'll be completely focusing on the romance routes, and we'll be hosting monthly polls to decide the top two character routes to spend our time on for each ...

Version 0.11 is coming along nicely and is on schedule for release towards the end of March. We'll be introducing several new locations and one of the new characters, Asana, who won last month's pinup. As of tonight Escape Artist will only have 2.5 images left to complete, and I've been working on a few missing features that will be going live tonight in a small update.
Tonight I'll be uploading version 0.10c to replace the current supporter build. In addition to a slew of bug & ty...
Progress is taking a bit longer than expected. Escape Artist is finished with all of her artwork and at this point I'm going through adding all of it into the game. Most of it is finished but I still have a list of 40 tasks left to go. Most of the tasks are things like animating faces for individual scenes that have updated artwork, but I have a few smaller ones like updating gallery preview pics. At this point rather than estimating a release time I'm going to post quick progress updates on ...
2023-01-03 04:18:37 +0000 UTC View PostRelease was planned for this evening but it looks like it needs just one more day in the oven. Escape Artist is on pace to finish the last of the touch ups late this evening, but putting them all into the game adds some extra hours. We're on the final stretch though.
2022-12-31 00:34:48 +0000 UTC View PostFinal 0.10 release is coming Friday evening. Escape Artist is working on some new templates that we can use to keep faces consistent, then spending the rest of the week using them as a reference point to touch up as many scenes with wonky looking faces as possible. After Friday we'll switch back to our 60-day release window. It's all coming together very nicely and we're both looking forward to finally moving on from the prologue.

The artist is wrapping up the last new scene for version 0.10 this weekend. After that is final polish. I've also been going through adding new effects where I can. We're on the final stretch.

We're making a lot of progress on the final 0.10 release. So far I've added a few more visual effects like a really cool looking time of day fade transition and the artist is making good progress on the additional scenes. Most notably we left a little bit of the final action scene and an additional main story scene with Remi out of the snapshot release for the sake of time, but those are almost complete.
On my end I still have a ton of dialogue reworking to do but we both have a lot mo...
Hey everyone, as we're wrapping up the last few assets and tweaks for the full 0.10 release and getting ready to move into a new phase of development we have some major updates to share.

As promised, the unnumbered supporter snapshot version is finally ready to play, but you'll need a new save file due to some changes we made to decision trees. More major changes are being made to all new and existing dialogue in the full 0.10 release, so facial animations in the new scenes have been shelved in the meantime. All of the artwork is going to be touched up as well and a few ne...

Artist finished the last required scene for the unnumbered supporter pre-release today. I've been using the extra time to continue adding as much as I can. I have about 4-5 hours left of scripting to duct tape everything back together into a playable release which I'll finish up tomorrow. A lot of the major choice tracking variables under the hood have been changed and some story paths have been changed significantly, so you'll need to start a new save game.

The last essential scene for the unnumbered update is taking a bit longer than we thought. The artist still has one final sequence to add in. I'm using the extra time to finally add music to the script. The music files aren't fully mastered with the final instruments yet so they'll sound very .midi until the official 0.10 release but the melodies are there.

Hey everyone, we were hoping to finish up the last of the essential artwork for the unnumbered release by tomorrow evening but we still have a little ways to go. We should have it wrapped up by the end of next weekend instead if not a little bit sooner. We also hit a snag with the formatting of the 5 possible festival night h-scenes & romance scenes. Long story short they won't be fully animated or have animated faces until the full 0.10 release a few weeks afterward so that we're not spe...

Hey everyone, now that we're getting close to the end of the build we have a pretty clear idea of the time frame for the upcoming release. We have 3 required art assets left to complete but with the month ending on a Friday we're going to need one more weekend to finish up. The unnumbered supporter release should be all set by Monday 10/3.
Also we temporarily replaced the banner image here on P...

Hey everyone, it looks like we have a solid timeline for the upcoming release. In short, we're going to drop an unnumbered supporter release with everything that we've completed at the end of this month so that we don't keep you all waiting any longer. It will wrap up the prologue story and have all of the good stuff. We're then going to take one more month to polish existing scenes, add some more content that we were unable to get to, and generally tie everything together to make sure that v...
