Just meow and BHB news.

Hello guys,

Another one quick post after a long silence, just to let you know that I'm still alive^^.

Well, my real time duties keep to absorb most of my time. And I keep to search relentlessly for the loopholes in my daily regime to finish the new chapter. The progress is still slow but steady. I continue to fill the project with content according to plan. And it's not just my text, good colored artworks as well. I'm trying to write less text to make the events more dynamic on on...

BHB Chapter 8 (breaking the silence)

Hello guys.

I know, I know I'm often keeping silence for too long without posting any news. My bad. The real-life duties take a long time and force. But don't worry guys, I'm alive and well. The work on BHB has not stopped. Moreover, I've taken some time off to... no not to rest but to focus on my work on BHB. I've made big progress in the meantime. A lot of text is done, though I still working on the scenes in the epilogue. I'm altering writing and translating with coding an...

BHB 10th anniversary.

Hello friends.

Exactly 10 years ago it all began - we've launched the original BHB project on blogpost.com. I've already mentioned in my previous anniversary post how it started, how it ended and how it raised from the ashes. So let's not talk this whole thing again. And better yet, let's celebrate such an important milestone - because the project is still alive after all those years and troubles. Yep it still in development after so much time and even so - we're coming to finish (slow ...

BHB Chapter 7 public version is out now!  You can find downloadable links on my Twitter. Go download it and enjoy!

BHB news update.

Hello guys.

It's time for some BHB news. And the first good news is that the new chapter is coming soon! The second good news is that the new chapter won't be the final (as I planned originally).

Development of the current update required much more time than I expected, and I'm not even finished half of my ideas for this episode. But it’s been too long (far too long) since the previous chapter released. So I decided to split current update into two parts, rele...

Life's getting better + progress report.

Hello friends.

Things seems are gradually getting back to normal. I mean COVID situation. Well, at least, things are looking up in my town. The authorities had eased restrictions on service sector and social contacts. Most stores, sports grounds, barbershops and other salons have reopened recently. So it's good to have a possibility to go for walks and shopping again after a long period of restrictions. Though we should do it in the official time and still ...

Proof of life + COVID-19 + progress report.

Hello guys,

I hope you all safe and fine in these uncertain and scary times due to COVID-19. As for me, I'm alive and well. Though current situation around COVID-19 really bothers me and ruins many of my plans. On the bright side of whatever's going on is that I finally got a notification from my boss to stay away from the office till the end of next week. Authorities forbade us to leave home without a good reason at the nearest future. So I got an unplanne...

<BEEP> <Progress report #1>

Hello guys.

Long time no see, I know it and I’m sorry. But don’t worry I’m alive and keep working on BHB. So, that's where things stand at the moment. A lot of text done and ready to be added in the game. Even more text done and ready to be thrown into the wastebasket^^, because I'm not satisfied with it quality and have to constantly put changes and improvements. Which means: write and rewrite texts again and again and so on many times. 

Bearing in m...

Feedback + some polls

Hello guys,

It's been a week since I released 6th chapter, so before I get to work on the next update let's summarize your reviews.

And first of all let's speak about artworks quality. Some guys notify me that my project is dead for them because there's no CGs from Akabur in it. Well, Akabur has a lot of work to do on his own projects, so we reached a compromise - he co...

BHB Chapter VI (SIX) public version.

Hello guys,

You can find the links to download new chapter on my twitter. Also, you can always check BHB blog on blogspot.com. 

UNsuspended account.

Good news guys: the situation with my account has been resolved successfully. I had to censor all my public posts related to BHB and make them available for patrons only. But main thing is that my account is legitimate again and I'm back to business.

P.S. BHB public release is coming soon.

Suspended account (2)

Hello guys,

Unexpected crap happens sometimes. My account juts has been suspended. Hope temporarily. Don't know exact reasons why but working on it, currently waiting for the answer from Patreon support team. I'll be keeping you updated about this situation.

BHB(6) progress report #13 + little spoiler.

Hello friends.

Another weekend is over and it's time to take stock of the progress made. Yep, unlike most of the normal people I use my days off to work instead of chilling out^^. 

Well, about the progress. All the quests are finished and included in the game. Though, I still need to check the links between them more attentively. 'Cause finishing a certain quests leads to unexpected (and unplanned) consiquences sometimes. 

Testing t...

BHB anniversary + progress report.

Hello guys.

You know, this day 8 years ago me and buddy Akabur launched the project called Broken Heart Bordello. I feel like it's been ages since that moment. 8 damn years. But what the wonderful days that were. We were studying and having a day job, and in spite of that, we were working on BHB relentlessly. A new update every weekend. 12 updates in total. How we managed to do updates so often? Well, I think it's because we were much younger than now, full of energy and fait...

BHB blogspot.

Hello guys.

It's time for a quick BHB news update. Honestly, not much to say here. I've been working mostly on the text all last days. Received two artworks for the next alpha build update. Also, I updated good old BHB blog on blogspot.com. Now you can find all actual links to free download the released chapters right on the main page there. Can't post the direct link here to avoid my account been suspended again, b...

BHB(6) progress report.

Hello guys!

It's time for a quick post about how the BHB progress going is. Well, things are going good. Just sent another part of the text to my colleague Lyk on proofreading, and finished making some changes with interface. For now, there's nothing more to say. Main thing is that the work is going according to the plan (I hope I'm not just jinxed it by talking too optimistic^^). 

About the po...

Progress report + discussion + poll.

Hello guys!

It's time for a little talk about BHB. The work on it goes well. Fortunately.  Recently got corrected text from my good proofreader Lyk and sent him another one on checking. Still trying to find a way how to make my releases happen more often. And in this connection I have another question for you to discuss (and to vote). According to my calculations all the work on 6th ch...

Back to work on BHB.

Hello guys!

The winner of the poll is more than obvious. BHB won by a huge margin. So I'm happy to announce that the work on 6th Chapter has now officially begun. I already sent some text on proofreading to my good old colleague Lyk. Stay tuned for future updates (progress reports, spoilers, etc^^) and thanks for your support guys.

Discussion post + little poll.

Hello there friends!

It's been over a week since my last release. Now I'm trying to make a plan for my future work. And I need your little help. This is some kind of discussion post where you can share in the comments your thoughts about my projects. I'd like to know what you guys thinks about new look of Grim City. Do you like my original characters or you would rather be seeing...

Grim City Chapter One.

Grim City Chapter One public version available to download on my twitter.

Suspended account.

Just a quick post to let you know that my Patreon account has been suspended for some reasons. Hope nothing serious. I contacted Patreon support team to find out what should I do to reactivate my account. Currently waiting for their answer. Grim City public release is delayed until the situation with my acount is clear. I'll be keeping you updated about my situation. Thanks for support everyone!

Blackout.

Hello guys!

This post is just a cry of my heart. It's actually supposed to be a progress report. Unfortunatelly, some unexpected shit happend recently that cancelled a lot of my plans and ruined my job.

Someone broke the cable that supplied electric power to the street where my home is located. It happened on Saturday so I had to spend all the weekend without electricity and without internet. It was quite romantic at the beginning but after three days of blackout this shit rea...

< BEEP >

Hi, guys!

Not much to say here. It's just a short post to prove that I'm still alive and keep working. I sent a big bunch of texts that I need to be checked to buddy Lyk not long ago. Now I'm preparing another pile (and I hope it'll be the final one). Then I'm going to finish playbale build to identify bugs and aspects that need to be polished. Still not sure about release date and I don't want to presume. That's it for now. S...

Grim City (sneak peek).

Hi, guys!

Thanks.

Breaking the silence.

Hi there!

First, I'm sorry for being silent for too long. Don't want to bother you with my excuses and sad story of my life during all that time. The main thing is that I'm alive and I still working on my projects. As you may know, I'm not an artist and that's why I have to commission different people to fill my projects with the good stuff. But any good art cost good money. The most part of my income from Patreon I invest in my projects. Though it often takes time to gather require...

Early access

Hi there! 

Just sent the messages with a link to download my new project to all my processed patrons. Let me know if you are a patron and you didn't get the message.

Good news^^.

Hello, my friends and my patrons!

I went to visit my buddy Akabur this morning. Just to see him and to find out what he's doing now after the Star Channel 34 is released. And you know what I found there? Yep. He was working tirelessly on art for BHB (ah, finally!). He was so busy that he even refused to welcome his old friend. Well, I wasn't too upset because of that. Actually, I was happy to take a first glance at his artworks for my project. It looks great as always, trust me. So, this is a ...

Progress report

Hi there!
I just got done all the work on the text for BHB Chapter V (I mean writing and translating). Many thanks to buddy LykD9 who did a great job editing a lot of pages of my grammar mistakes^^. Now I'm going to start making the playable build and testing the game.

 Also, good news is that the 5th chapter will have the soundtrack. Some guy at one of the forums guessed that I have ear problems, that's why my project...

Proof of life and hard working.

Hello, friends and patrons! Sorry for being silent for too long. I was working tirelessly on my projects (and keep doing that). As for BHB Chapter V, I still need to finish the translation of a large pile of text (or just cut it off^^) because the next chapter definitely will be twice as much as the previous episode. And of course, the main thing is to wait for buddy Akabur’s art and CGs. I hope to finish all the work on Chapter V in the first half of November.

Another my projec...

BHB. Get back to work.

Hi, friends! 

I recently returned from my short trip to Moscow. And after a few days of vacation, I feel good and full of energy. So it's time to get back to hard work on "BHB Chapter V". 

Here's something like the concept art for the new release. It looks a little… strange, not because Akabur took a long vacation, but because I have a bad Photoshop skill^^. We're still a team with him, I just decided not to distract him from his quest in obtaining the visa:)
Oh, you may t...
