Hi everyone, happy new year! I am planning to post a series of polls in the coming weeks. With the amount of supporters rising, it would be nice to see how older and newer supporters alike feel about certain aspects of the game.
Let's start off with this one: Who are your favorite characters? You can pick multiple.
Full version:
PC: Link (0.08c)
Mac: Link (0.08c)
Android: Link (0.08c)
Finally, the release is done! It's uploading as we speak, something, I hope, to end the year on a high note with. The update also includes a polished remake of the first battle scene in the prologue.
This update was by necessity focused on character development, so, story heavy. In the next chapter after this one, the player will be able to take a step back and spend some time with other members of the House and maybe some friends.
Now for the upper tier benefit I have previously ...

I hope everyone had a nice christmas. Playtesting is underway. If nothing bad happens, we should be ready soon. See you on the 29th for the early access release! :)

Hi everyone, land is in sight. Apart from the final short scene D, most other renders are done and next week will be all about fixing minor details, finalizing animations, playtesting and editing. This means the new update should be out for the early release tiers on the 29th.
Along with the update, I will share more details about the planned extra benefits I talked about previously for higher tiers, as a token of appreciation. Until next dev update I'll leave you with ...

We're entering the final stretch of the release and I'm excited to get this update out as soon as possible. One of the scenes is shaping up to be one of the longest yet, if not the longest, and one of my favorites so far. Not many more details can be shared because they'd be pretty deep in spoiler territory. And with that, I'm going back to rendering. See you all next week.

Hey everyone, and before you ask, nope, I did not confuse Saturday with Sunday. I thought I'd post the dev update earlier this week for a change because exactly one year ago, on the 04.12.2020, I released the first update of the game.
So... about this week, the work stuff has been dealt with and my work hours have been finally reduced. That means I can now start catching up on the time I missed so we get ready for the December release.
There's one other thing that deserves a small...

Another sunday, another teaser picture. As I said last time, I'm still waiting for thursday to end to start making bigger progress again. Until next week!

I'm making more progress. Scene C is finished and I am tackling scene A again. On Dec the 3rd, my current day job related stress source will mostly come to an end (lower work hours), so I am confident that a release later in December is possible and will not disappoint. Until then, thank you to all new and old patrons. :)

Things keep progressing at a good pace, but this coming update has a lot of new environments and manual posing which makes scene development take a bit longer. So realistically, I expect the update to be ready some time in December rather than late November. This pushes the development cycle a bit but I would rather invest slightly more time to avoid having it look rushed like some other scenes in the past.

Home interactions: 50%
Scene A: 40%

We are getting there, slowly. I've added some other things to the list for next update, one being another scene rework, and the other being the option to go to sleep with your lovely wife... or is it really just sleeping..?

"We lost her. All alone we are, and so is she. Desperate.
You know what must be done, my children.
Anyone you find her with... before you tear them limb from limb, take their eyes, that they might join us in darkness!

IN THE SHADOWS, WE WILL BE REBORN!
LET ALL THOSE WHO TOOK HER KNOW TO FEAR US!
SHE WILL GIVE BIRTH TO OUR FUTURE, ONCE SHE IS WITH US AGAIN, IN DARKNESS.
GO, MY SONS. FIND HER!"
Helloo, time for another update, which comes with good news and bad news.
To start with, this week I did some work, but didn't get much done on the game: I have had a few courses to attend to, related to my day job, which are taking up part of my weekend as well. (That is the bad news)
The positive side of this is that I am following through on what I shared with you a few months ago: I am taking steps that will allow me to switch my day job to a part-time commitment, ideall...

Today's dev update is going to be a bit longer, since it was pretty much a year ago when I started drawing the first two characters, Shani and Ain. I want to give you guys more insight on what you can expect from future updates. Without spoilers, I will explain how the gameplay is going to be structured, and how this ties to all the characters we have made so far. If you're not so interested in that, you may skip the following, for everyone else: enjoy this wall of text :p.

Bonjour, mes amis, because saying hello every week would be too boring! I started rendering this week, and as we have been finetuning the plot once again.
We also have gone over how the game looks at the moment when it comes to code and game files. To sum it up, the organisation of files is currently a bit of a mess. The audio files especially will ultimately need to be rearranged in some more structured way. So we agreed that next update we will most likely have a full rele...
2021-10-03 14:55:51 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, with this update the latest early access version is going public. 0.07c includes fixes mentioned in the release post itself. During the last days we worked on those bugfixes and I finally got around to take care of private things that I neglected over the last weeks, which is why this is the first update without a picture.
We will soon return to the usual dev updates with preview pictures. Seeing all these responses and theories on each update about where the...

The almighty Queen stands on her podium, files are uploaded and ready, and my 30 hour long day may come to an end after all. :^)
0.07c is here, so without further ado, we hope you'll enjoy it!
Edit: As with previous updates, 0.07c mostly fixes things and does not add new content. You get a slightly new day night cycle this time though.

Hey everyone, as I somewhat anticipated, we need a few extra days for the release, as the last scene is taking some additional time. Cynical has been quite busy as well recently outside of the game which is why he needs some more time for the writing/editing.
0.07 will be released Wednesday, 22nd of September.
As always, I'm super interested in what you will think about this update. It will be one of two quality of life updates, so new events aside, you will...

Okay, good news: We entered the playtesting phase. The events I planned for this update are mostly done, what's left is one animation that needs fixing in Scene A.
This means we could release the update next weekend...
...Howeeeever... Even though scene A is the biggest I have rendered up until this point, about half of the scene is split into two paths, meaning that you get to play most, but not all of the scene in one play through. So, to prevent the update appearing too s...

Hey everyone. Scene B is rendered and being written, and although it's much shorter than Scene A, it still has content I don't want to spoil, so here are some random pictures of the update to keep you guessing ;p (I know, very mean...)

We are getting more progress in. As we are working on multiple things at the same time, my estimate is that the update should be ready for release in 2-3 weeks.

I am one day late to the party, but better late than never! We officially hit the 500 patron mark. Many many thanks to all of you for making this possible!
Almost 9 months have passed since I released the first version and, as I said in the last announcement, I aim to make this a part time engagement. Me being able to do so and reduce my day job to a part time commitment is coming closer to reality.
The game still has a largely untapped potential, so expect more of everythin...

This week we continued working on various things. I also took a day to remake one of the older scenes. It finally looks like how I imagined it 8 months ago, gritty and more impactful.
Fairy's basement scene is getting a new optional scene for the rough path (for those who didn't like the... hands on part) and the world map is also being redone from the ground up to allow us to show more locations and in greater detail.
Progress:
New world map: 80%
Hey everyone, it has been a month since the last release and the biggest scene is mostly done. Scene A will have two variations, depending on how you treated a certain someone last time. Looking at the schedule, I can easily say it has been the most difficult one to make yet. The rest of the scenes should not take as long.
Thank you for your continued support and patience, have a nice week!

We are getting to the "interesting" parts of the mission ;p. The first picture is one of my favorites so far. We (pretty much Paz only) are also looking into improving the dialogue and text box looks for the next version as well as an improved preferences/options menu.

We are starting a new month and Scene A is still in development. Just like the mutant mission it's one of those scenes I want to avoid to spoil too much. All I can say is that it will include the longest and most "cinematic" cutscene I've done so far, and I'm pretty excited about it. It does include a lot of posing though, including the NSFW parts of it.. so bear with me on this one.
Thank you for your continued pledges and see you next weekend :)

Last week was a busy week, working on the patch as well as putting the new version on paper. We discussed the story once more and the rendering is well underway. The first scene will be quite long as it covers both Shani's preparation and the Queen's visit, so it will take some time.
To everyone who recently pledged, thank you very much for joining! It was unexpected but exciting to see such a rush of new patrons this week. Take a seat and get comfy! ;)

Hey everyone,
tomorrow will be the public release of 0.06, but we already started working on 0.07. In the next update, Shani will be prepared for her mission in the Zone. We will also see the Queen again, this time with the updated skin texture.
0.06 will receive a patch next friday. Until then, you can download and insert this script file to fix Zahra's relationship w...

Time for another release! As stated before, this update is smaller than the previous one, but also took less time to develop. For those who download the patch instead of the full download, please read the additional installation requirements to avoid a buggy file.
As always, many thanks for all the support. We hope you like the new free roam activities we prepared in this update. They will be fleshed out with more content soon.
If you encounter any bugs or problems, pl...
