Concept Art Release - Sketch - Karnal Day 3 - Bar.

This image is subject to change, probably I'll ask for the artist to change the drinks on the table, and I'm pretty sure by the time this scene happens, there's no food on the plates, so I'll ask him to at least make them clean. 


That being said, this is the image that will be added on the game later this month, the completed version will be done eventually and Tier 3 patrons wi...

Tier Updates.

Hello there guys, I have some news for Tiers 3 and 4. The new additions to those tiers are:

  • Tier 3: Get an exclusive speed-paint video of any artwork *released from this date onward, from scratch to the sketch phase. 
  • Tier 4: Gets an exclusive speed-paint video *from this date onward of the completed artwork, from scratch to finish. This video is usually only added for obvious reasons, once the artwork is completed. This is a small bonus I can grant to tier 4 patrons...

Hey there guys, I hope you all are enjoying the current alpha.

Alpha 0.34 Release!

Hey there guys, today I've finally finished the alpha. As you guys may know, I lost a lot of time this month having to go to the hospital. Health care may be "free" here, but it's bad as hell. Anyways, I had to do Karnal's route a little smaller than usual (in words per route), but I made sure it maintained the quality of the text.


I also fixed some small internal bugs since I don't know if they can freak out the game on a MAC computer, since I don't have one I can't test it ...

Quick Update! Next Alpha Release date!

Hey there guys, just a head's up about the alpha: Given some unforeseen health issues I'm facing these weeks, I had to lose a ton of time seeing doctors and waiting for them to check on me so yeah, I'll be finishing and releasing the alpha between 27 and 29 of this month. I hope you all can understand that, but I promise it won't go past these dates. 


Thank you for being here with me this month, you guys are awesome.

Quick Update!

Just a quick update for all of my patrons:

I'm working on Karnal's route this month, and I'm not enjoying what I wrote so far, you see, I've been having some trouble with my health and that's kinda affecting the work I'm doing. The good news is that I'm feeling better now, the bad news is that I lost a lot of time going to see doctors who never gave me any medical exams to make an actual treatment for the problem itself, so yeah, way too much time lost.

And the second bad thing is...

Quick Update: Next Month's Workload.

Hey there guys, are you all ok? I just checked right now and the pool ended yesterday, the winner this month is to continue on Karnal's route for now, which means you guys want some stripes huh? 

Remember that only Tier3+ patrons can vote on pools and that eventually will have pools about the next game once this nears completion, which at this production rate may still take some time to finish. Who would thought that making a Visual Novel alone would be so demanding right?

Monthly Thanks Message #25

Hello there you all. Today I want to thank every single patron for staying with me for this month. It helps me a lot, and you guys know it. 

Remember to share news about the game on Twitter and with friends if you have, there's always the demo on the itch.io you guys can send them, the more people interested the faster I'll be able to bring you guys some very interesting artwork for the game.


Now, I wanna say to all of you, again: thank you so much for being here w...

Alpha 0.33 Release!

Hey there guys, first of all, I want to say I'm sorry for the delay this month. February was the worst month of this year, just to start the year wrong it seems. I've got Dengue Fever first, which is a disease that is passed through mosquitoes biting us, and we're actually full of them here, then this single disease created a chain reaction that essentially fucked me for the rest of the month. Even now I'm still treating certain symptoms of another problem that arrised because of the first Fe...

Quick Update: Next Alpha!

Hey there guys, here's a quick update about this month's development:


Given some misfortunes I've been going through, I won't be able to search for the sound effects nor code them into the game, instead, I'm trying my best during the times I'm not with a migraine killing me or my body just hating myself, and I'm writing Karnal's route. Next thing I only need to write a few more routes and then go through the correction, misspelling checks, and put them inside the game. With l...

Quick Update

Hey guys, so here's the deal: This month I have two workloads I can choose, Write Karnal's story or start on Sound effects searching. Sound effects will work mostly for sex Scenes to help the player to have some immersion them, but also could help with a few jokes here and there. 


The structure I need is something like this:

  • Find the Sound Effects that are Royalty-Free.
  • Start Programming the SFX setup in the game.
  • Add another function to the...

Hey there guys, the pool for the next alpha is only 21 hours away to be finished, so if you're a tier 3 patron and want to vote on what I will work next month, go over there and do your thing, vote! :D


Remember that some options may make this month's alpha to be just a quick bug-fix release if I find any bugs while working on the new goal, for example, finding sound effects and making the foundations for it to work and be added into the game and days.

Hey there guys, I'm here to say Thank You, to all of you who are new here this month or who are returning patrons that decided to give this project a little more of your time and support, and of course, to all of my long-running patrons who are making sure I'm earning enough to survive while I work solely on this game.

Alpha 0.32 Release!

Hey, there guys, this alpha was scheduled for 29 of this month but I was able to work faster this week thankfully, which means you guys will have more than just a few days to grab this build. Anyway, what is the changelog this month:



Since Tier 3 and 4 patrons voted for me Correcting AND add the new animations to the last day for Wagner, I did just that. The last day within his route is now fully "animated", but don't get the term wrong, it means I just added the n...

Quick Update: Schedule for the month.

Hey there guys, here's the workload for this month and the schedule for the next alpha to drop:


I should be working this month on two things at once; checking the previous routes already added on the last day for Wagner, and adding the animations for the few ones that are missing them, remember that I created the new animations after I started this last day so some routes lack the new animations.

After that I will start writing Wagner's route, considering that I love th...

Quick Update:

Hey there guys, I'm just here to remind you all that if you're a tier 3+ patron you should go vote on next month's workload soon! I think by tomorrow this pool will end, so if you want something specific to be done for this next alpha you should totally vote there! 


I'll resume working directly on the alpha apart for bug tracking next Monday. So please, hurry!

Quick Update!

For all my patrons, I want to remind you that the pool containing seven possible things I could be working on for the next alpha is now available for tier 3 and 4 patrons to vote.

If you want to vote specifically on something for the next alpha you need to be a Tier 3 patron or upgrade your tier first. Remember that Tier 3 Patrons can also access a lot of artwork completed that is already in the game, so you can download it and have it for yourself. Of course, all images have a watermar...

Hey there guys, how was your Christmas? I hope you all had a pretty good holiday and let's get prepared for the new year now! I don't know where Co**D will take us, but I sure hope we can get up already and go back into making stuff available for everyone because I need to buy a new laptop so I can visit my parents AND work in the game, there's no way I can spend a whole month without working for you guys. So, fingers crossed! :D

Alpha 0.31 Release!

Hello there guys. This month was a true rollercoaster for me with this game.

It started so well, I even thought I would have time to add some new features such as continue researching for sound effects and how to add them to the game, but once I got to Day3.Json, things derailed way too fast.


In this alpha I dedicated myself to updating Wagner's routes for Day 1, 2, and 3.JSON, those days are highlighted as Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 in the game. These updates were meant t...

Quick Update! Alpha 0.31

Update: Bad news guys, as I'm reading (yes, reading) through the Day3.Json, which is the fourth day in-game, I'm finding a LOT of issues, such as places where Aiden is speaking to Wagner not having his name on the screen, or when he's speaking to himself only, he has the speaker name there, so I'm having to read it. Not only just going through the text, but reading slowly and carefully to fix all of those issues. 

This started happening at the end of Day2.Json whic...

Quick Update! Pool for Next alpha workload results.

So, you guys know that Tier 3+ patrons can vote on what they want to be on the next alpha, right? When an option can take more than one month to be done I tend to warn them too. This month the decision you guys voted the most was for me to read all of the last four days within Wanger's routes and update them with the new animations.

For those who don't know yet, the game features some new animations besides the "shake", and "Walk-in/out" animations now, such as three levels of Jump and ...

Hello guys, how are you today? I hope you all are enjoying the current alpha 0.30. At this point, I'm about 38% of the game completed, at least storywise, and it's all thanks to you guys.

If this game exists and if I can monthly focus on it, it's because you guys are here with me, some of you for years now, always donating to this project. And I'm thankful. Creating a game totally alone without anything but myself and the money I make with it to pay for the artwork isn't easy, but it's ...

Pool: 0.31 workload.

Hey there guys, this pool takes a week to be completed so please vote if you want something specific on the next alpha.


Note: I don't know how much I can accomplish in a month by reading through all of the completed and added text in-game and find where the Zoom-in/Out should be added or when a jump animation should be added to make the scene better, the game does have a very big pool of text at this point all of it segmented into different routes. However this is a work that...

Just Friends: Alpha 0.30 Release!

First of all: Thank you all for waiting. You guys are awesome.  It took a little longer this month given a lot of issues from me temporarily losing the Day4.JSON for no reason other than Godot being unstable at the time to simply not knowing how to write the scene without feeling what I had done was completely useless.


But it's done, I'm quite glad about it, and we're getting into the final part of Wagner's 5th day in-game. When that's over, Karnal will be the only optio...

Quick Update

The third day for Wagner is almost done, I just need to finish three more routes. I've been having trouble this month to write his route in a good and consistent way so it's been a cycle of writing and deleting what I did because it's no good in my eyes. However I have a time limit, and usually, it's between days 25 and 28. So for this month, the next alpha will be released next Sunday since I still need to correct the text before actually putting it into the game. As soon as the text has the...

Hello everyone, I'll be brief with you all this time. What you wanna see on the next alpha?


To work on the 3rd act of Wagner? The third act for the 5th day will have 4 or 5 parts.

To work on Karnal's route again? (I will need a day to read through his route so far since it's been a while and I'm sure things needs to be consistent).

To add the new Jump and zoom-in animations on the previous days? I'm sure a lot of dialogues would make good use of those animations, ...
