No matter your pledge goes through or not, you will be receiving the update in a minute.
And we will lower the pledge threshold later this month regardless of whether the milestone is hit or not. Pay an extra 4 bucks for cheat codes? Man that is a joke.
2017-03-01 13:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt is sad to see people getting upset by how the update is distributed. Switching to charge upfront renders the upgrades instantly available to supporters, meanwhile makes you unable to quit at the middle of a month before getting charged, which is not what we really want.
We hope you can help us make the choice.

With the game framework rebuilt we can finally turn our eyes from back-end to front end, ensuring new contents being added at a much accelerated pace. From here on out, more sex contents will be implemented in each and every build in order to catch up with poll results.
Japanese won the voice acting poll by a narrow margin, so we will cast Japanese voice actress first. However considering the ratio of English backers, we may also add English after Japanese voice acting is implemente...

Damn it was so close. We are uploading the build and you shall receive the download link in an hour. Anyway it is already March in some time zones so we still failed to keep our promise to those who live there after all.
To compensate and apologize we decide to add an extra update in March, which will be free to all Jan and Feb patrons, containing at least 10 extra animation sets, and will be released some time around mid March.
1.12 will be updated...

Release of 1.11 is around the corner! We will finish the packing and testing work this weekend and distribute the build in two or three days (If no major bug is detected, that is).
We made some final adjustment to Erika's face geometry in preperation for future facial customization feature.

ZNZ was always quite reluctant to dabble in kinky stuff and has turned down invitation from Studio-Fow (although I spared no effort encouraging him to join). However it seems that our working together in the past two months has changed him a bit: ZNZ is launching a personal project and will make a batch of adult-only renders during his annual leave.
Although it is not quite relevant to Fallen Doll, we will post his work here once it is done in appreciation of your support.

Greetings! A major improvement of Erika MK-III is reworked hand geometry. Now her hands are more flexible and capable, which allow us to make a wilder range of hand gestures.

Another thing we got on with in the past week was new animations. As I mentioned in previous progress report, with Erika's model upgraded from MK-II to MK-III all animations have to be remade to match the new skeleton. The reworking shall take approximately 7 - 10 days, then we will start packing everthing up for a playable build.

Greetings! Today we will talk a bit about in-game soundtrack.
The disturbing clinking noise is no more! We composed a few melodies that better fit the story's grim and dystopian theme, meanwhile replacing sex scene's ambient SFX to more soothing music.
The piece I brought to you today is named "Predawn". Feel free to let me know what you think of it!

Hello friends! This week's progress report comes a bit late as ZNZ hasn't returned from Spring Festival holiday yet. Anyway, we still made some progress in the past few days.
Body customazation mechanism disables the usage of blendshapes in development hence it is often tricky to make everything looks right in extreme poses. If you downloaded last month's test build for school uniform you will notice quite a few minor but annoying hiccups with groin deformation - her labia bu...

In the past week we finalized the rig based on the feedback of 1.09 and 1.10. Some people were crying for pregnant scenes - although it is not really easily feasible since swelling abdomen can render many sex positions unnatural and awkward we feel it to be a good idea to allow Erika's womb deforming based on the amount of semen shot in.
Along with the change we also expanded the size limit of butt and tits customization.
As always, I'll be taking questions on the w...

In the past weekend we took some time experimenting with approaches to depict stockings of higher Denier value.
Conventional method - base color map with tilable normal and roughness detail maps will inevitably cause Moire pattern, which is devastating to visual verisimilitude. 4K maps, on the other hand, impose a heavy burden to performance, especially for translucent objects such as stockings.
We are still weighing the options.
2017-01-23 14:56:29 +0000 UTC View Post1.09 and 1.10 were two experimental builds designed for VR compatibility test and might be horribly unfriendly to players without a VR headset.
With the test concluded 1.10 will be the last non-sex version in the foreseeable future. As from 1.11, we will put effort back in implementation of sex elements based on previous poll results.
Note that voice acting poll is going to be closed after the release of 1.11, which is estimated to be late Feburary, then voice actin...

Hello there!
In the past week we overhauled all UI elements in previous builds in preparation for 1.11, the first major update after Fallen Doll is announced.
I will be around to answer questions for the weekend. If your message went unresponsed feel free to send me another one.

Nvidia Apex still doesn't work well after the hotfix, so we decided to implement the schoolgirl uniform in 1.11 while trying to find another solution. In the worst case, we will have to resort to dynamic joint chains for the skirt - the old school but dirty way used by KISS and Illusion.
1.10 will be the last VR-oriented build before the endless mode is finished.

In the past week we revamped Erika's facial rig. With some tweaks to geometry and subjoint system she is more lively than ever - at least enough to spice up an otherwise boring blowjob.
Unreal Engine 4 updated to 4.14 and we kept pace. However Nvidia hairworks and Apex Physics does not work as desired as in previous builds. We will wait for a few days to see if Epic would release a hotfix - if not, we will roll back and pack 1.10 with ealier engine version.

The dynamic boobs in 1.09 did not look soft enough therefore was not entirely convicing, so we took some effort in further finetuning their physics perimeters. They are, after all, the most imortant parts.

Wish you have a great new year! Patreon is experiencing a message&email system issue so there is a chance that your message sent in the past few days might fail to reach me. I will respond to your inquiries (via messages and comments) after they get the bug fixed to make sure you get the notice.
Work on the male actor has been completed, and 1.10 is estimated to be sent out by middle of this month. We will try our best to meet the deadline this time...hopefully.

With 2016 approaching the end we sincerely thank you for the support and wish you a happy new year.
We have started working on the male actor this week, and soon you won't see the lonely flying penis anymore. The implementation of the first male character will be carried out by 1.11 or 1.12.
Just a last minute announcement in case some of you missed it: 1.10 will be a minor update lacking substantial changes to the mechanism since we are diverting all our resources ...

1.09 and 1.10 are experimental builds on demands of VR users, and may not be very friendly to players without a VR headset. We understand that there are more patrons who do not possess VR gear and would rather have the roadmap back on its original track - well, it's impossible to please everyone with every update.
It is unfair to always place the need of some over others, so 1.10 will be the last update focusing on VR experience for quite a while, and we will continue to work on the...
