Hey, how are you doing? I'm hitting the 200 render mark for Nadia's scene, and it took about twice as long as others because of her perfectly long, curly and volumnous, polygonistic hair... At least it looks good.
In the next dev log, I will reveal the next scene that's coming in this update, which might... prick up your ears. ;p
One week until christmas!

Hi everyone, hope your weekend was great! In this update we'll do something we haven't done so far, but it is still necessary and fitting.
Shani will get about two scenes, one prior and one after to the Thermae scene with the Queen, where she recollects about her relationship with the player, and where things are going from here (things might also get hot). We recognized that her inclusion into sexy times following her return into the household after the Zone might've felt a littl...

Phew, cutscenes are always one mammoth of a project. Anyways, I have technically reached the end after about 45 of these animations, I will eventually have to put them together. Even our creepy wasteland dentist here is excited!

Survey results 2023 (so far)
Hey everyone, as mentioned in the previous devlog, here's some insight to the survey you took part in! This covers just a part of the results, since the poll is still ongoing (2.250+ participants as of today) and many questions also include free-form responses. We need some time to read through thousands of individual sentences and consolidate them. ;)
The first and likely the one you're most i...

This is a hot one. Anyways, next poll after christmas will be a cyberpunk one. Ain & Shani easily beat this one together. Multiple variations and dresses in the attachments!

Hi everyone. First of all, a thank you for participating in the survey and the comments underneath! With over 1,500 entries so far, this will give us a lot of insight about potential improvements and how people approach the game.
As for renders, there was limited progress this week, some more time was invested in designing some areas and characters for future updates in advance (it helps me visualizing my ideas).

Desert Stalker Survey 2023
Hello everyone! We thought about this survey in detail for a while and we have some questions we would like to ask you.
Aside from general questions like who is your favorite character, we also have questions focused more on the gameplay and general structure of the game that will definitely give us a better indication of how you experience it.
You can find the link below, as it's an external Google Form (it is anonymous, no worries). The poll will be available for the rest of the...

Hope you're enjoying the weekend! What happened this week?
Apart from continuing with rendering the new scenes, we also had some internal full play-throughs of the whole game and noted down quite a few unresolved issues with the script, missing animations, inconsistencies and other small issues. We also revised upcoming content for Ain and had some breakthroughs for the mutants.
While playing through the content so far, we ended up asking ourselves some questions that you probably...

Howdy you all! Before we get into what's coming for the next update I want to get as sentimental as Nadia is here for a moment: Thank you to all of you for participating in this project and allowing me to work on it. I have taken a few days off to think about the next updates while fixing the current one, but I am already starting to go back at the next one. I enjoy every moment of this work, and so does the team if I may speak for them. So thank you again for all the support, really.

Hey all, ready for 0.14? Because here it is:
What's new: the update is a bit all over the place. We're visiting the Queen, the Raiders, and spend time with Kateryna and Fairy. Keep in mind that the Queen's plotline has just begun, so don't expect too much progress with her just yet.
The first part of the new raider mission is baked into the main menu screen, however it will sadly not be released for 0.14. There was simply too much to do to complete it and give it proper care.

So, two days left for the beta! My second PC is working 24/7 on baking those leftover animations, but I will release the beta by Tuesday with the animations I have managed to do up at that point, and whatever left (if anything) will come after the beta release.
Also, I have been trying my best to realize Zion's backstory, but my plan was, and still is, for a 2.5-minute long cutscene and it's simply too complicated to be finished for the release in its entirety. I will have to postpone t...

Not going to lie, this is one busy update. There are so many paths and small variations to to consider that if it wasn't so difficult I'd find it funny.
We're a few renders short of 1000 again, and Zion's backstory (and menu theme) are not finished yet. So I'll see you all sometime between next weekend and the beginning of the week after that for the Beta release. It's all coming togetherrr...!!!

You couldn't make up this month's poll results, with Ivy and Emilia both landing a solid 38.7% on two platforms....
...which means I had to respect these legendary results and make Bride Emilia as well, following tomorrow.

1. Sorry for the delayed post.
2. You guys are absolute legends. You managed to vote exactly 38.7% of voting power on Ivy as well as Emilia on two platforms. It wasn't even close, but completely equal. And that is why Bride Emilia will follow tomorrow. Respect +

Hope you all had a nice week! The text for the scenes is mostly written, but I'm pretty sure there's holes everywhere. I'd like to add another cutscene and a harem scene at the very end to make the update more wholesome, but first I'll start the animations and missing renders.
Usually after 12 weeks I'd say the update is getting ready soon, but this one is again as big as the last one when it comes to render count alone, so please bare with me for a bit longer. What's for sure is that i...
