Modern Game Devlog: Intro Scenes Preview

Hey everyone hope you're all doing well, It's been a bit but there's been a lot of progress made on the game so I though I would go over what has been happening and show a few previews from the intro

There are 4 locations that will be in the first release of the game which are all 90% complete. All of the the assets that are required are finished and the surrounding areas are built up too. The lighting and rendering isn't where I want it to be but that is easily changeable and can be ad...

Modern Game Devlog: Development Update

Sorry for the long gap in updates, I've been working on getting all aspects of the game to a playable state and was waiting to finish that before posting again. As you can tell that took longer than I expected but I am most of the way there now. Some things still need touch ups but all the UI and game elements are fully functional now.

There are some new features and ways to interact in this game than there were in Last Hope so I though I would go over them. If there are other mechanic...

Modern game Devlog: Story Timelines

Hey everyone, development on the next game is still coming along at a decent pace. I've been working on getting the lighting and materials looking better the past two months which is finally starting to get to a point I'm happy with. There will still be improvements I can make to it but it's close enough that I can work on other aspects of the game and not have to worry about things completely changing and needing to be redone. While I get that finished I thought I would instead give a previe...

Modern Game Devlog: Locations Preview

Hey everyone hope you are all doing well, I thought I would give you a preview of the locations that are going to be where the first update of the game takes place.

There is still a bit of work I need to get done before these environments are fully complete but most of the work is done. Lighting and textures are still being worked on so they may change as development continues.

If you've got anything you think that should be added or changed feel free to let me know, I can't prom...

Modern Game Devlog: Character Previews

Hey everyone I'm sure your all looking forward to seeing more from what I've been working on for the next game so I thought I share a preview of some of the characters. These five girls are some of the first characters that are going in the game and they will all feature in the first release. Some of these designs may end up changing over time or may end up looking different as the graphics change but they will all still be in the game.

All of the characters have different body options...

Modern Game Devlog: Breast Physics preview

Hey everyone I thought you might like a little preview of some stuff that I've been working on for my next game. This is all running in game but the interact system hasn't been fully worked in yet but it's showing a lot of promise and it's making me think I really need to get myself a VR headset. Lighting and characters are also still being worked on so expect them to be improved later down the line as well.

I've been hard at work with getting everything set up behind the scenes for the...

Promo: Vikings: Sex and Blood

Here's a message from our friends over at DreamBig Games

Hello everyone,

Finally the Vikings: Sex and Blood  V.0.4update is HERE .

This update took way longer than expected, as I spent a good deal of time enhancing already existing visuals ...

Steam Keys have been sent out!!

Everyone who is a current supporter here on Patreon should have gotten a Steam key for Last Hope in their messages. Hope you all enjoy playing the game on steam.

For those of you who can't get the game on steam I'm working on changing the last tier to $17 a month so that I can make the game available here too. I have to keep it the same price as on steam so that I'm not undercutting the price there on it will be removed. Sadly this isn't the best plan as you would still need to ...

Quick point to clarify

I mentioned this in a post a while ago but I wanted to repeat it so everyone knows. Now that the game is on steam there will no longer be any versions to download on Patreon.

Supporters will still have access to all development details for the next game but no more Last Hope updates.

I am also still working on getting the steam keys passed out to all backers so I will let you know when those are sent out

Hey everyone hope you're all doing well while waiting for the steam release. I've been going through the game and play testing as much as I can before the release and there has been a few events that I thought were a little short.

Last Hope 1.0040 Release

Hey Everyone the latest update for Last Hope is now available for all patrons. This'll be the last update with any big changes with it including controller support, updating all photos, and adding the final part to the last GAIA event. There will still likely be other smaller patches to fix bugs but I am now turning my focus to work on the next game.

I was planning to work on VR but it seems like people are having a lot of success using UEVR to play in VR mode already. I may put out a p...

Some bad news about the steam release

Hey everyone sadly the game won't be coming to steam. The plan has always been to finish the game and then to release it onto steam and I have been working on that for the past few months. Unfortunately because of where I live at the moment I am prohibited from being able to put the game on steam. This is a huge blow to me as I was hoping to have it go live this February and bring in some extra money while I spend time working on the next game. This also means I won't be able to put the next ...

Last Hope 1.0 Release

The full release of Last Hope is here for all patrons! 🎉

After a lot of time and a lot of work the full story of Last Hope and all the events in the game are complete. Thank you to everyone who has supported the game during it's development, without all of your support the game wouldn't be nearly as big as it is today.

As this is the last release which includes new scenes I wanted to make it a big one so there's quite a few new things to discover in this update. Each character...

Last Hope Update 21.0 Preview

Hey everyone, work on the next update is coming along well so I thought I would give you all a preview of Dream 4. This dream can be accessed by purchasing a special item from the shop and features two superheroes who get in a bit of situation trying to stop a bank heist.

There are still a lot of other scenes to finish before the update will be released but it should be out in the next two months. Thank you all for your support and I'll talk you again in a bit

Last Hope 20.6 Release

Hello everyone, update 20.6 is now out for all patrons

This update is all about fixing up all the existing events so that no matter what point you are in the story or what level of clothes are being worn the dialogue and actions available will match.  There has also been a major fix to all the lighting in the night scenes where it was previously too dark.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the recent poll the pregnant bellies have been adjusted in size and all scenes have been f...

Pregnancy Poll

With update 20.1 out now everything should be in a playable state which gives me time to rework all the scenes in the game to work correctly reguardless of what options have been chosen.

This includes lighting,pregnancy, clothes removed, Love levels, and weather or not you are in the epilogue.

Before I get into working on this I have seen some people wishing that the pregnant bellies were bigger than they currently are. I thought I'd leave it up to everyone here to decide what the...

Last Hope 20.1 Release

Hey Everyone update 20.1 is out now for all patrons

This update adds the final 2 G.A.I.A events and finishes the main story of the game. It also adds pregnancy content and more clothes removal options when you have maxed out all relationships.

Almost all of the ship has also been remodeled and the lighting has been changed so everything looks a lot better now. There may still be some more improvements to the environments later but I think most of it is now complete

With preg...

Small Delay

Hey everyone I know this isn't what you want to see but theres still a bit more to take care of before I can release this update. With that being said it's not going to be much longer, only a few more days so you don't have to wait much longer.

Thanks for your patience and I'll be back soon with the upadate

Last Hope Update Delay

Hey everyone I know this isn't what anyone was hoping for but sadly version 20.0 won't be finished in time for a release this month. The final G.A.I.A event has turned out much bigger than I expected and then adding pregnancy content on top of that is just going to take a little more time. 

This isn't going to be a massive delay so I can guarantee it'll be ready some time during march. Sorry to everyone eagerly waiting for the release I am working as hard as I can to get everything...

Last Hope Update Progress

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you're all having a great day. Now I know the present you all want is the next update but it's still a ways of being finished but I wanted to give you all an update on how things are going.

Initially this update was going to be all about finishing the game's story but I got a little sidetracked remodeling the ship. This is something I've wanted to get done for a long time as I've felt the environments have been very outdated for a long time. The recent rem...

Last Hope 19.2 Release

Hey Everyone Update 19.2 is out now for all Patreon backers.

19.2 Adds in the final scene that was bugged as well as fixing up all the bugs that showed up in 19.0. Most of these bugs were because of the the new way the special events worked so it took a little bit to get them all fixed but they should be good now.

There's plenty of new scenes to check out in this update so make sure to find them all. Each character has 3 new/continued events, well almost... Natasha's third event h...

Last Hope 19.0 Preview

Hey Everyone hope you're all doing well, I wanted to give you all a quick update on how version 19.0 is coming along. Currently everything is coming along great and It's on track to be finished by then end of next month.

I decided to not include the 90% seeder event into this update because unlike all the other seeder events this one makes some scenes unavailable and I don't want everyone to be stuck at a point where you are locked out until the next update. Instead 20.0 will have both ...

Last Hope 18.2 Release

Hey Everyone Update 18.2 is out now for all second base backers. Access for first base will come in a couple of days along with any bug fixes needed.

This update is all about some new special events that have been a long time coming but are finally here. These events are unlocked once you have reached the 8th mark on the G.A.I.A and have maxed out relationships with all of the crew. On top of that there is also a new character being introduced that seems to be quite interested in gettin...

Last Hope 18.0 News

Hey everyone with the release of 18.0 closing in I thought I should give you some news on how things are going.  This next update is focused around some new special events that I know a lot of people have been waiting to see for a long time, along with the 80% G.A.I.A event. I don't want to give away too much as I think it's more fun if you discover what these scenes are for yourselves so for now you'll just have to wait and see.

As the G.A.I.A is now so close to being filled up co...

Last Hope 17.1 Release

Hey everyone update 17.1 is out now for all Patrons

As for what the update is all about there are some new scenes with each of the girls along with the next teir of the GAIA being unlocked. I would suggest talking to the girls after filling the GAIA as you might be able to pursuade them into changing their attire.

Most of the scenes in the game are now fully finished so in future updates I'm going to try and finish off any still left to complete. On top of that the main story wi...
