Tier 2+ poll: Godot 4 Build.

Hey there guys, I'm here tody to do one of those rare polls that influences everyone who's a tier 2 patron or higher.

As you all know I'm working tirelessly to port Just Friends to the better and enhanced Godot 4 engine. This is also to foolproof the next games I can make, right now Just Friends engine is, well, only for Just Friends, no other game can use it, and I need something more versatile.

The aim is to make a whole build for godot 4, then release here HOWEVE...

Public Poll, not related to the game.

That's a curiosity I have, but you, as a Windows User, would still be using Windows if Microsoft turned the SO into an Online Subscription service, instead of a product you buy once and theoretically its yours?

I'm asking this because this is exactly what I'm predicting it will be happening. The signs are there.

Your computer became This Computer, there's ADS everywhere, they are literally killing Windows 10 while forcing you into a system that will kill your perfec...

Just Friends Build 0.65.0.35 Release!

Hello there guys, how are you all doing? I'm tired as hell but here we are.

There's not a LOT of stuff on this build but there's more content than before! I spent most of the month working on porting Just Friends to Godot 4.3 and it's around 35% done! it's very trying, I have to redo the whole system, so I'm taking my time AND I'm also taking some help here and there to create a better structure, one of these helps are a senior friend of mine who knows a lot about Godot, s...

Quick Update:

So here's the news about my whole situation this month:

Johan's routes are now under the final typos correcting phase, tomorrow I'll start pushing them into the game.

Just Friends version 0.XX.0.43 is about 30% done. There's a whole new system with the JSON files that will have to be converted to the new engine. The idea is that by December I should have the game mostly working on Godot 4. Once that happens, even if the menus are barebones, I will start pushing that ...

Development Update! Core VN!

First of all, I want to talk a bit about Just Friends, Johan's next route.

The main route for his next update is already done, now I need to work on the remaining seven routes that are the answers he can have. It should be done within a week, then I need to push it into the game and done.

But while I'm working on that, I'm also working on the new core VN.

The core VN project is essentially the Just Friends Godot 4.3 port, however with bett...

Development Update!

Ok, I have some small news.

First of all next build will contain more Johan's routes. I'm already slowly working on them. The release date is for Day 29 or 30 of this month.

Now, while I~m working on Johan's route, I'm also working on a Core VN project, not only to port Just Friends to it, but also for future projects.

Essentially I'm slowly re-working all of the base codes on Godot 4.3, and so far the results are very funny:

Curiosity Pool. For everyone!

This is a genuine curiosity of mine, but here's the question:

If there's a Visual Novel you like, and said visual novel goes from Fully 2D Drawn sprites and cutscenes to Full static 3D cutscenes with shading to make it similar to drawings (Cell Shading and such), what would you do? Only now answer there but there's lots of options.

To clarify:

Supporting: This means you're already supporting said VN.

Free: This means you're only following said VN.<...

Do you support me by using Patreon on your iOS?

I need to know how many of you uses iOS to pay me instead of PC or Android, it's important because of how apple loves to fuck my life even if I'm not part of their ecosystem! :D

I would really appreciate your feedback, and if you use iphone, how hard is it for you to support by using a PC, for example? The subscription billing Apple wants to force on Patreon don't work for me, not until we start hitting 200 subscribers active or more, getting my money sprinkled through the month ...

Just Friends build 0.64.0.35 is now available for Tier2+ Patrons!

If you're a Tier2+ patron, this month's build is now available for you to download.

In a few moments, you should receive a message with the link to download the files AND the password.

This build actually marks the Android Release, the previous build got the release too, but that's because I was able to backport the feature to any build that I had uploaded to my github, which was good because I could just update the public builds for android too, but the feature was made availabl...

The quickest of the updates!

Hello there!

First of all I want to thank you all, especially the new patrons I got this last week, it's already the end of the month but some people decided to support me either way and it helped a lot. :)

About build 0.64, it's almost done. I will need to put all of the scripts on the game today, yes, I'll be working nonstop again. The thing is, I got so overly excited with the Android Build that I forgot to do my actual job, sorry about that!

But the script ...

Just Friends 0.63.0.35 Android build is now live! :D

Just a quick post to tell ya'll that I just was able to successfully port Just Friends to ANDROID!

It's... not perfect. IT works, and you can play ALL routes. But some menus are finicky and don't work. Save/Load should work fine though.

Anyway if you wanna test it out, just download it on the provided link I send you all before.

Next build I'll talk more about the android port and what does it mean for the future of the game and how long it will take to be improved upon.

TIER1 - Just Friends public early release - Build 0.53.0.35!

That's right folks, Tier 1 patrons now have early access to the public build 0.53.0.35, and the image above tells the differences between the currently available Build 0.49.0.35 and the newer 0.530.35 release.

The build 0.53.0.35 was just one build after the debut of Johan's routes, and we've come a far amount of time since that.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

To all my higher patrons, know that we are working on the newer expressions for Johan, however it takes ti...

Quick Update for Tier1 patrons.

Later this month, tier 1 patrons will receive a link for downloading the next public build three months earlier, as their perk allows them. If you want to check on the next public build three months earlier than the general public on itch.io, consider supporting me as a Tier 1.

Tier 0 patrons don't get anything, but it does help, so if you want to help me but don't have the money to do so, please consider supporting me on th...

Quick Update on features and next build:

Hello there guys. You all doing well?

Thank you all for staying with me this month. The pool is now over, so let's talk about the features to be added to the game next build:

The pressing feature is Johan's new route update. So that's what I'm gonna work on.

There are other things I want to work on the side if possible, these are:

Studying the port for a 4.3 version of Godot.

Study the possibility of an Android port and how much of the UI I will nee...

Thank you all.

Hey guys. You all doing fine I hope.

I want to say thank you all for staying with me for another month. I know it's hard, but it's because of all of you that I was able to have a job during the pandemic and it's thanks to you all that I'm able to work now.

Life is being harsh on me, health issues happening, and I'm trying my best to stay healthy without spending a lot of extra money, but yeah, things are a bit hectic these days.

I wasn't able to do some of the ...

Build 0.63.0.35 Release!

• This is one of the builds selected to be eventually added to itch/io in the late future. Public builds are available for the public usually every six months, and they are always 10 to 15 updates away from each other.

This month's build was done, apart from the health issues everything worked fine and Karnal's route is shaping nicely.

I really like what I wrote this time, albeit a bit shorter than before. I would usually tell how many words and tota...

Quick update.

The date of release for the next build was changed from 28-29 to 29-30.

That is because I had a lot of trouble managing time this month with health issues, which I believe I'm getting better, for now at least, thanks to three amazing patrons and friends I have who gives me a lot of love and care when they know I'm going through hard times. You guys are awesome, thanks for the extra this month.

Because of it, once the game is released the voting for the next build will also ...

Build 0.63.0.35 Release date and Updates.

Hello there you all, the poll for Tier3+ patrons have ended, and here's the results:

That's right, Karnal will have his route written this month.

There are also a few new things I need to tell you that I'm going to implement in the game and some that I will remove from the game:

• Suggest Correction Box will be disabled indefinitely.

• An exclusive Tier 3 feature will be added in-game in it's place.

So here's ho...

Monthly Thanks Message - July 2024 -

Hey there guys, thank you all so much for your support this month. A special thanks to my Tier 4 patrons, especially some of my Tier 4 patrons who helped me more than they needed both on patreon and outside of it to help me in these times of need. Thanks to them, I was able to buy meds this month! :)

Thank you to all of you who donated a bit more than usual. To all of you who spent your time here supporting me this month, thank you so much.

I really hope you all can stay with me ...

Just Friends build 0.62.0.35 is now live!

The image there already tells of the changes, if I wasn't this sick I would be able to add more things such as writing more routes for one of the characters, but this month I was only able to do what you guys voted last month, sorry.

There's a cheat-sheet on the link for you all too!

Either way, Tier 2+ patrons will receive the link and password soon, and if you're here after this post was made, it means you need to ask me for the link in the message box, just come t...

Quick update!

This month was hell.

My health fucked me in the ass a lot, but I'm okay I believe. I still have to spend more money with the next appointments but I'll hope I can deal with whatever is happening.

About the game's release date for the next build: It's settled fro 29 - 30 of this month. I will do my best to update all of Wagner's routes with the sound effects, there's a huge load of dialog for me to read! But I need to do my best for you all!

I hope you all can s...

Next build content voted!

And the winner is: Sound Effects: Update Wagner's Routes on Day3.JSON (4th Day).

So, Day3 is HUGE. So I can't update both Karnal AND Wagner sound effects in it. This whole process also means I'll be reading the dialogs to know when to add sound effects, so it will take a good amount of time to release this build.

I believe this build will be done by 29-30 of this month! :D

Thank you so much for your support this month guys/

Monthly Thanks Message!

Hello there! How are you all doing?

I'm mostly fine, but I'm still feeling some pain in my chest and belly so I'm going to see a private doctor next Friday because I really want things to happen a bit faster.

Anyway, I want to say thank you to all of you who are supporting me this month.

Remember that if you can't support me anymore with your current tier, consider toning it down to a lower tier, there's even a tier that charges only 1 USD out of you! I get less than 50 cent...

Just friends Build 0.61.0.35 Release!

Johan's new route update is out! And the raccoon is as hard to read as he's handsome. Will Aiden be able to break the ice on that handsome face?! :D

Either way, if you're a Tier 2+ patron you will be receiving both a link to download the next build AND the password for this month's build to inbox in the next few minutes!

Sad News!

Hey there guys, no I still haven't gone to the Hospital YET, I'm planning on going see a doctor today or late tomorrow, tops. Still work continues and sadly I have to deliver some bad news.

Given Visa and Mastercard situation for Patreon, we cannot have non-consensual sex (which is not a problem for my project, I don't support any sort of r*pe related material in my projects), and other things. Which means two things:

Tier 4 patrons will receive updates for Lunaria (...

Side Project.

Hey there you all. How are you guys doing? So, here's the thing I'm working on a new side project called Lunaria, it's a book with around 30 chapters that I write every now and then. Right now I have four chapters written, but I need to re-read them and fix the kinks here and there.

I got really sick last week, and I'm still feeling pretty bad now (with my chest hurting quite a lot), but before I got super sick, I was working on this project in my free time. I'm considering rele...

Quick update

The next build will be released a day before the month ends. That's because I've been sick for the past week and a half and only now I'm slightly feeling better to resume work and there's a lot to work on. To ensure the quality of the project I will have to spend every single bit of time I have creating, correcting, re-write if necessary, and then putting the new content into the game, this usually is a three to four-week process that I'll have to do in less than two.

Thank you ...

Update

Here's some news for you all.

Next build we'll get a Johan's route segment, eight new routes as always, so be ready for that!

Also, I added tier Zero to the patreon, now you can help with less than 64 cents (That's what I'll get after each billing), it's not a lot, but at least if you're following the project and want to feel like you're helping you can give me less than a dollar! :D

I don't know if this will make any difference, but lots of creators have a tier of 1 ...

I'm thinking of a NEw tier.

I noticed a very high number of people following the project, that are not currently supporting it.

I can't just create a Tier 5, I can barely give my Tier 4 patrons anything useful besides a good chat and whatever books I write (because yes, in my spare time, I am writing a novel), but I noticed some creators have a tier that is only 1USD.

1USD is not even recommended by Patreon itself, I would get less than 0.5 out of it. However, if adding a Tier 0, charges 1 USD and doe...

Just Friends 0.49.0.35 is now available for the public on Itch.io!
