Dev Report #57 (November 4th, 2025)

Hey, everybody. I hope you all had a good time over Halloween.

This last week has admittedly been a mess for myself. Which really sucks at this stage of things, I let stress get to me a bit and it made this last week a struggle. It doesn't help that I've been nursing a sinus infection over the past few days.
Nonetheless, I did add around 30 renders to the very end of the update. But the bulk of this week's work went into continuing fixing / editing things that were pointed out to me...

Dev Report #56 (October 28th, 2025)

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

Admittedly, not a ton to talk about today. I'm still working on fixing small issues and making slight changes based on feedback.
As such, most render work on the update this week were alterations. Which is why so few renders were added, the ones that were added were just a small addendum to the end of a scene.
Otherwise, the render time this week went into making the character sheets in this post. Yes, there's a ton of A names. I'll h...

Dev Report #55 (October 23rd, 2025)

Hey everyone.

I hope you've all had good weeks, mine was pretty decent but also a bit chaotic.

I've sent what I was able to, to my testers. Though in a pretty jank way. So far no major issues outside of the jankness. There is a handful of minor stuff as well as some feedback mostly relating to dialogue(...)
I'm currently working on those issues, and making decisions based on the feedback I received. No major changes planned.

I didn't do a ton of render work for the up...

Dev Report #54 (October 14th, 2025)

Hey, everyone!

I hope you're all doing well, apologies for the lack of report last week. I was dealing with a personal issue that ate up a large chunk of my time. I didn't get to work for most of Monday-Friday last week. I did give a short update in the Discord but just due to not much having changed in terms of game content I just decided to wait until Monday.

And honestly, yesterday was just a bad mental day. I was definitely doing the thing that I've been trying really hard n...

Dev Report #53 (October 1st, 2025)

Hey, everyone.

I hope you all had good weeks. Mine wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either. It was mostly just a busy week for me and I wasn't able to get as much done as I'd like to.
I will say making myself 'reset' by not trying to make up for lost time or if things went well, not trying to one up myself. Has really helped myself stay stable. 

I managed 55 renders and 2 animations this week, which I wanted to be more in the 100+ renders range.
I'm in the final stag...

Dev Report #52 (September 23rd, 2025)

Hey, everyone.

I hope you all had a good week. Mine was relatively decent, I didn't get quite as much done as I wanted to but it was still a productive and positive week.

I finished up render work for the majority of scenes, finalized many script decisions, and finished editing the majority of the renders in photoshop.
Finishing up render work included adding around 80 renders and 4 animations.

This upcoming week will be focused on finishing the render work for the fin...

Dev Report #51 (September 15th, 2025)

I hope you've all been well, apologies for the break in reports.

The reason for the gap isn't anything major at all. I just got to a point where I was trying to rush through the last things so I could get the update out asap since it's long overdue.
Long story short, things weren't going how I needed them to and I was getting into my own head about it.

Took a little time, I'm feeling better. I didn't let myself scrap or change anything outside of the very last things that I...

Dev Report #50 (August 21st, 2025)

Hey, everybody. Hope you're all doing well.

This is going to be a short report.
This week hasn't gone too well, nothing major just got stuck on 2 animations. Certain poses / positions can end up looking super jittery and it's been a lot of trial and error to smooth that out with these.
Also got about 20 renders deep in the last scene I have to work on for Day 37 before I scrapped them. Not story related, I just wasn't happy with how they ended up looking lighting / detail wise. I...

Dev Report #49 (August 13th, 2025)

Hey, everyone.

This was meant to be posted last night but I accidentally fell asleep early. So, oops.
I also didn't daily post the teasers in the discord, just not there yet. But here they are now.

It was a solid week of work. Nothing crazy but decent.
98 new renders, 1 new animation, 4 animation mix-up additions (A previously made animation that has been altered to be a shallower or deeper depth to mix into the animation loop to make it feel slightly more varied.), I fini...

Dev Report #48 (August 4th, 2025)

Hey, everybody. I hope you're all doing well. Long time, no talk.

I'm alive, work on WVM is continuous outside of a few small breaks I took. I do apologize for being virtually silent the past 3 months. It wasn't an active decision, at least not to start it off anyway. I had felt my mental health start to decline quickly and I just decided to take a day or two away from the internet... and then a day or two became a week, then weeks, then months.

No excuses for that, communicati...

Dev Report #47 (May 2nd, 2025)

Yo. I hope you're all doing well.

Episode 13 is finally finished which means it's time for episode 14.
The first beta for it will be the first 2 scenes. Being returning home and surprising Zoe.
I'm not setting a release date or timeline, work left on it is mostly remaking a few animations and a few renders.
Not the extensive iteration after iteration that plagued E13. Just some tweaks as this content was made many months ago.

And apologies for disappearing for most of...

Pledges Unpaused, E13-F release today

I don't want to do this again... but I have to.
Pledges have been unpaused, E13-F will release in 2 parts today due to a change in the last bit of the scene.

1st release will be 201 renders + 20 variant renders. 4 animations + 4 variant animations.
This release will be out by 8am EST though I expect sooner.

2nd release will be 52 renders. by 2pm EST though I expect sooner.

There will only be 1 post, I will update the post when the 2nd part is released with fresh l...

WVM (S2-C1-E13-B7)(333 renders)(19 animations) (And Important info about refunds)

Hey guys, the info about refunds is at the bottom of the post, I will re-state the info in the next dev report.

But here's the rest of Jasmine's date. I am very sorry it took so long to get out.
All of the new content in this beta is from Jasmine's date so if you're not on her path then there is no reason to download this.
I'm not going to set a public release target time for E13-F again but I am actively working on it and if everything goes well with this release it should not b...

E13-F release pushed to tomorrow

Sorry, I'm dealing with small issues and I'm at a point where I'm just making dumb mistakes and getting overwhelmed.
My head is pounding and I've been running off little naps for the past few days. I have to actually sleep some.

Pledges are re-paused. If for whatever reason E13-F isn't out by the end of April 2nd I will manually refund everyone charged overnight last night. No April fools.

Pledges unpaused, E13-F release tomorrow

EDIT:
Welp, gotta slide the time back a bit for the Jasmine scene but the E13-F build should still be at 10 tonight.

Jasmine scene will release sometime around 2-4 EST today. Had a few small issues with files that are already fixed and I'm currently packaging and will be uploading right after. Also the android build will be included as testing on it has went well.

Might seem pointless to upload the two so close to each other but with the system wipes I w...
