Still working on the raider scene this week - characters are in place and rendering began.
So... about these two fine specimen here... I can't tell you yet who they are, but I will let you decide on her future nickname. Choose one of the (intentionally) cheesy options. ;p

The hive scene is basically finished with about 250 renders for both outcomes and some animations and cutscenes.
The pictures you're seeing are work in progress previews of the raider mission you got introduced to in the last queen event. I am designing the settlement from scratch, putting every shack and piece of concrete together to give a nice fallout vibe. Really looking forward to this.
Also, the spanish translation for 0.09b is finished, so we are preparing 0.09c over the ne...

Hey everyone, looking at the second part of the hive mission, I should be able to finish it up next week. Other than that, there might be an official spanish translation coming in the next weeks for 0.09c. Fingers crossed.
Progress:
Hive scene pt.2: 70%
Shani's zone entry: 0%
Raiders mission: 0%

It was a quiet day in her village. With a fresh spring breeze flowing through her hair and a sound of chirping birds in the distance, she reflected on the offer that was made to her, enjoying the moment of quiet and peace that she knew would not last forever.
The votes were a landslide this time around. Second angle and NSFW versions in the attached file.
Fangs - 11 - 9.4 %

Hey all, new week, new progress log. First of all, thank you all for the pledges and support for the last update and during development, it means a lot!
Secondly, I appreciate all the feedback and criticism regarding the content and quality. The update was focused on building the personalities of various characters who did not get much real time up to this point, and even though I think these ...

Release day! Thinking back to several weeks ago, when I said that I wanted this update to take less time... well that clearly didn't work out. Going forward, I will try for a more frequent release cycle, at least for updates with smaller scenes. Fingers crossed.
This update focuses on the household and city, where you can spend some time with various characters and move their story forward a bit. I tried to add a few more role-play choices, even if they're not all as impactful.
As...

Hello again everyone, I can finally give a release date. Scenes have been written and what's left is the coding, tying everything together and general polishing. There are still some parts I want to try and squeeze into the update before release as well.
Early access release will be on the 17th of April. I know it barely is in the predicted early-to mid of April range, but I need that time for proper playtesting and the usual stuff. Also, it's possible that I may not be...

It was over. There was no way out of this situation, and she wondered if she would ever see her husband again.
- "What about these two?"
- "I need to get them on the train. Can you help me out? They'll head north west. Heard those guys need food supplies."
Extras in the zip file as usual!
edit: Since the poll margins were super close and votes divided by ranks, I attached the results as well.
I don't have much to report this week, as I am in the process of writing and coding. :p

Kitchen scenes: 100%
Basement scene(s): 80%

Hey all, rendering of the scenes progressed fine last week, I finished the scenes I wanted to and next week I'll start tying everything up (writing, coding, new/existing quests, music, etc.)
As I said last week I also really want to add a second part to the basement and family events before releasing the update, so I would say a realistic release date is early to mid April. As we approach that I will be able to provide more specific dates.

Here's the next poll, a bit late this time, I will try to post them on the 10th in future months.
Emilia and Zahra both made it in this from the last round, because they pretty much got an equal vote count.

Okay, we made some good progress for the release this week. Scene B, Ain's event, is fixed and looks more presentable now. It should be finished soon as well.
That only leaves the end of Scene C and a harem scene. I hope to get those done next week. While the kitchen, family and basement events are mostly done, I really want to add a second part to some of them to flesh them out a bit more.
I hope to be able to give a rough release estimate next week.

Helloo everyone, I've got good and not so good news this time around. The good news is that I've been getting a better grip on the whole lighting thing, especially whilst rendering this update's content. The sharp shadows you have seen in the past updates, in the character's faces and surroundings should be just that, a thing of the past. Indoor scenes will look better too.
The less good news is that I am not happy with some of the renders I made a few weeks ago, for this upcoming updat...

Hey everyone,
You may have noticed I did not rush out a post when we hit the 1000th patron. In fact, rather than just making a special render to mark the occasion, I thought of giving you a bit of insight on what to expect going forward.
Since the beginning, my aim was to create a more atmospheric VN, hoping that people would like what I wanted to show and how to show it. Since then, we've come a considerable way and I always try to improve and try new things that I think wi...

Not much to report this week, other than the fact that ancient egyptian / medieval textures sometimes give me a hard time to be consistent in render quality. That's one disadvantage in not doing a slick modern age game. :p
That said, remember her?

Kitchen scenes: 80%
Basement scene: 30%
Nadia/Family visit: 50%
Scene A: 90%
Scene B: 40%

Here's the second poll for this month's render! If you have ideas for future polls, I'm always open for suggestions, but they have to be consistent with the rules I posted last time around.

It has been about a month now since 0.08c got released. I don't have much to say this weekend, other than that I hope to have a shorter development time for 0.09 this time around compared to the last one.

Nadia visit: 30%
Scene A: 60%
Scene B: 40%

Nadia has changed a lot since the shy girl I remember from when she used to come over to play with Ain. Seeing her all grown up reminds me a lot of her mother, back when we were younger. She has the same energy, wild streak and adventurous spirit.
Growing up in a remote village, under the roof of such a bore as Omar, she must have felt limited and stifled. I bet she's making the most of her newfound liberty here in Zeta. Omar will have a hard time trying to control her now....

This Game is about Monica…
And Monica is a ”Rich B***h“.
What’s more – Monica is a Boss. Most of all Monica adores authority and to control people, and she manages everything in a not so sensitive or delicate way. If Monica was your Boss, you would likely be fired.
Everybody has met their own Monica before, that's for certain! Take part in her luxurious life. Monica is sure that her existence is going to be always the...

This week I've started story-boarding some more scenes that will be in the upcoming update in between rendering the ones currently underway.
Aside from that, as I've discussed a bit on Discord, I've been approached for cross-promotions for and by other creators in the future, which I think it will be beneficial, so I decided to try it out.
The promoted games might either be similar to DS or be something entirely different, but either way it should help to get the word out for this...

Hey everyone, first of all, we've surpassed the staggering amount of over 1,000 patrons this week, something my brain is still trying to process. I am going to make a proper post about it soon, but in the meantime accept my sincere thank you to each and everyone of you who feels this game is worth supporting.
Back to the matter at hand, the second scene of the next update will give the player the opportunity to get in touch again with the extended famil...

Ain was a clear winner in the first ever monthly render poll, with nearly half of the votes. So here it is! Asha and Kyra came in 2nd place, so they'll be reappearing in next month's poll. As for the others, they might show up again eventually.
Thanks everyone for voting! You can download this picture and the NSFW version through the archived file attached to this post.

Time flies and January almost comes to a close again. The development of the new scenes is going well, but this week I would like to share something I have been working on slowly during the past updates.
The Queen's palace always looked weird and flat and the backdrop felt as if Willy Wonka had puked colours on a child's design. Back then however, I didn't have the knowledge to turn existing props into something better. Now, since every update so far had at least one little scene that g...
2022-01-23 19:35:29 +0000 UTC View PostAs I have mentioned before, I have been considering ways to show my appreciation and/or bonus rewards for the higher tiers. So here we are :)
Each month, I will make a poll of about 4 render concepts. You can vote for the one you like best, and the idea with the most votes will be the monthly custom render. Initially, I have considered to have a SFW version for Stalkers and a NSFW version for Legates, but in retrospect that felt more of a "punishment" than a reward, something that...

Here's another picture of the kitchen scene(s). Tomorrow I will post the first polls for the monthly renders, I also made some changes to how they work. Aside from that, I don't have a lot to report this week. :)
Edit: Almost forgot the poll results from the first poll this year. Added a second picture!

Hi everyone, it's time for another poll. We got the interesting one out of the way, and the results were somewhat unexpected. Shani overtook Ain and Igor was not in the last place... Cool dude. I'll share the full breakdown soon.
Now it's time for the more mundane things, but ones I'm nevertheless curious about.
Do you play the game with music/sound on or off? (At least for the initial playthrough each update.)
With most of the bugs from 0.08 dealt with, I am starting the new year fresh, and am slowly getting the ball rolling again.
For 0.09, the plan is to allow the player to take a breath, sit back and spend times with friends and family. If possible, I want to add more repeatable events as well.
The update will focus more on the House and what happens in and around it, with a potential guest or two.

Kitchen scene: 20%
