The results are in. 57 out of 119 patrons voted with a total of 121 votes. You can expect to spend time with the following girls in the next few updates:

Day 10: Kathryn and Morgan
Day 11: Trixy and Jasmine
Day 12: Lena and Rin

After this, we'll get to some of the other girls like Cassie, Samantha, and... well, we'll see!

Going by these results, it seems like (so far at least)...

Serenity Dev Log (30 March 2021)

Hello fellow dream writers! The fade is alive with activity this morning (morning for me anyway). A few days ago, Serenity v0.9 released to upper tiers, and tomorrow night I will release it to the $5 (Fade Angel) tier. I have a lot to tell you in this devlog, so bear with my wall of text!

I recently put up a poll for patrons to vote on which girls they would li...

Favorite Girls

Patrons, you get to choose the two girls you spend the most time with in the next update! You can vote for more than one. The way this will work: All tiers get to vote. At the end of the poll, the girls taking first and second place will be our winners. Not included in this poll of course are the MC's family members (Karen and Camilla). Below I've included an image with a short description and hint at what will be in store. These six girls are considered the main love interests in Serenity (t...

Serenity Dev Log (23 March 2021)

Good evening (or morning/afternoon depending on where you are)...

Tonight I finished rendering Day 9. Tomorrow I'll place music where I want it, proofread, then hopefully release sometime tomorrow for patrons in my Fade Goddess tier and above. Read on for some important news regarding my new plans for ending Serenity and how the story will flow after Day 9...

This release will focus on spending some time with a few of the girls, talking to the twin sister you didn't know you had, ...

Serenity Dev Log (16 March 2021)

Hello my friends!

(If you have not played 0.8 (Day 8) of Serenity yet, please be aware there will be spoilers in this post.)

Today I am well underway with coding completed and now rendering about one third completed. One animation sequence also completed. Hopefully by now, you've all finished the last update (0.8) and you're here now because you can't wait for the story to continue. I was surprised I had no complaints that there were no lewd scenes in that last update (not countin...

Serenity Dev Log (10 March 2021)

Hey everyone! I'm a day late with my devlog because yesterday I was plugged in. Meaning, I was focused on rendering scenes for 0.9. When I am plugged in like that, I don't stop until either I'm about to piss my pants or my wife makes me stop so I can go eat supper LOL. Anyway, I have a few things to talk about, so let's get crackin...

Serenity 0.8 Now Public!

Hey everyone, Serenity v0.8 is now public! Releasing a tiny bit early because I'll have a busy day tomorrow and wanted to make sure it was out there for you guys. I hope you enjoy. I put a lot of effort into adding music to certain scenes, so please at least turn it on through one playthrough and see the difference. Day 8 will be an emotional ride and the music is intended to enhance that experience....

Serenity Dev Log (2 March 2021)

Hello Neko lovers!

As of today, version 0.8 has been released to patrons, and will be available to everyone else on next Monday, 8 March 2021. In this release, you got to meet a couple of new characters, and we also got to see Samantha again. Yes, a bit of lesbian action will happen in Serenity. What did you expect with so many girls? Since there will be no incest in Serenity and I had so many requests to "lewd" Camilla, this was the best option. But don't expect to see a lot of lesbian...

What's going on with N2...

Hello my friends,

I've had to take some personal time, just a few days, to get my head together and to cope with the loss of my step sister. The other day, she passed away after getting COVID. She was already in bad health. Her loss is a tough one for me because we were a lot alike and enjoyed the same kinds of games. Since she was disabled, I had spent a lot of time with her playing Guild Wars 2, a game we both enjoyed very much. It made her happy and helped with her depression. I am d...

Serenity Dev Log (13 Feb 2021)

Greetings Neko Lovers!

Another quick devlog, as I've had to make decisions and change a few plans from the last post. First of all, day 8 is shaping up to be a fairly long update compared to my previous releases since there is quite a bit of plot content to cover. I can't wait to complete this so you all can see it...

The new skin mod Cryoxxx and I have started using is very cool indeed. However, I've had to scrap the idea of adding that in Serenity (for now). It is a bit problema...

Serenity Dev Log (8 Feb 2021)

Hello Neko lovers...

Figured I'd start posting up some dev logs to keep you guys informed of where I am on the next update and latest happenings.

As you know, I am currently working on version 0.8 - the follow-up to 0.7b which hopefully you've all seen by now. We're starting to get into the good bits of the story now and I'll have to be careful not to spoil anything and ruin the fun. Currently, I am almost 1/4 through the renders, coding/script is done (not counting the minor chan...

Quick update

Well it is the end of January and I want to start to try posting updates at this time every month for patrons, no matter what's going on. It has always been my policy to remain transparent in every step of Serenity's development. I do, of course, leave out some things because I don't want to spoil too much of what's coming.

With that said, a few things I can tell you about: The image above is the new, animated menu screen which I finally completed yesterday. I posted a ...

Recent Poll (Splitting the game) and a few other things

The poll is setup to run until Tuesday, but, it's pretty obvious what the result is.

So, since I am pretty sure I will NOT be splitting the game into 4 parts and I need to keep working, I've already started to proceed that way. After giving it some thought, here is how I think this will happen now:

Improvements: I still want to make the improvements, but instead of focusing only on that for the February update, I've decided it would be better to work on those as I...

Splitting the game into 4 builds (Poll)


This is a public poll because I want as much feedback as possible.

Originally, I came up with the idea of splitting the game into 4 builds (4 in-game weeks) because the size of it had gotten pretty big already (Honestly, I don't think the girls were happy with me about that). I was concerned about the filesize because I know not everyone pays for a "mega" subscription like I do. I us...

Important - Tier Changes!

Hello everyone!

Today, I have made major changes to all tiers. With my first project, I wanted to be very generous and let my game go out to everyone as soon as possible and get feedback, learn, and grow. After the release of Week 1 of Serenity, it is time I got on the same page as most other developers out there. Some of you may not be happy with this change and I do apologize, but this is hard work and it's time I tried to make some money for my efforts and to pay for many things that...

Serenity (version 0.7 beta - b) Public!

Here it is at last! This release completes week 1, the first build of 4 planned. Version 0.8 will start the new build. Subsequent builds will be named "SerenityWk2", "SerenityWk3", and "SerenityWk4", with each starting it's own version numbers.

Serenity Week 1 (Final):
This update contains a few fixes that were not in the Patron release. The entire first scene in the game (with Trina) has been re-rendered, an issue during the "punish her" scene with Rin is resolved, ...

Status Update January 2021


Hello my friends! I hope the new year is starting out okay for you all. Put aside the political shit going on here in the US, and any other drama going on in your part of the world and remember that in here, we are all friends and have our own little world. We love these visual novels because they bring us some peace and take us away from the outside world for a little while at least. The image p...

Development update (version 0.7)

Well, version 0.6 has been out just over a week now. I hope you guys liked it. I wanted to give you an idea of my plans after 0.7 release and beyond.

Version 0.7 Status
Right now, I have finished coding it and will begin working on scenes/renders today with additions/edits to code here and there. As I've said, this will be the last update to this build of Serenity outside of improvements and fixes that are planned (more on that below). This final update will add righ...

Serenity 0.6 (Public Release)

Surprise! It's hump day after all... So without further delay, here is the (now public) day 6 update to Serenity!

Included with this update for the first time is the official APK for my android followers out there. Please note that this is my first APK and I don't have an android to check it out as thoroughly as I do my PC version. I have a feeling there MAY be issues with a couple of the videos working on ...

Christmas Renders for patrons (NSFW) (REDO!)

The more I do this, the more picky I am getting. I wasn't happy with those last ones. I think I like these a bit better. They are a bit more colorful and the Christmas tree looks like a Christmas tree now. If you were happy with the other post, well then these might be a bonus hehe... I added a couple of different poses in there.

Need your input (Public Poll)

Before I started developing Serenity, I played a lot of AVN's. One of the things I liked in some of them was that during conversations, you would see character's facial expressions, emotions, and body language change through the conversation. I was fairly ambitious to want an image per line of dialogue and have had other devs recommend that I scale that back a bit. That may also be why my updates take as long as they do.

First, I will say this: You will never see more than 2 or 3 lines ...

Music in AVNs? (Public Poll)

Hello my friends!

Today I used funds from patrons to subscribe to a music licensing site. First off, let me say this about music in Adult Visual Novels... I was an AVN fan before I was a developer. I found that most AVNs just didn't choose the right music to fit a situation. So, I would usually turn off the sound and run my own playlist. With that, I assumed that is what most players do. There are only a few games out there doing music the right way... to add suspense or atmosphere, emo...

Serenity version 0.5 Public Release!

Edit: Now available for All :)


Here we are at last, my friends! Serenity 0.5 is here and ready to roll out to everyone! Having the time to work on this long update was a huge plus. If you're taking your time reading through, should be around 40 minutes or more I think (I'm not that great at timing the gameplay).

As announced previously in my Discord, I'll be travelling to spend Thanksgiving with some very dear friends. We leave out Wednesday this week and should be back Sunday...

Status Update (.5)

Hello all you Neko-maniacs! Sorry, I know I've been quiet lately. Just focused and balancing my full time job with Serenity work. I am making nice progress on .5 and still looks good for a release before the end of this month. A few folks have sent me private messages asking me to please not stop working on games. I'm not sure where this came from but please... I have no intention of stopping. So no worries there! 

Anyway, on to the update... as you can see, I've added 3 renders to...

Serenity version 0.4 Public Release

Happy Friday everyone!

After my announcement (status update) yesterday, I got to thinking while working on .5 this morning. I have no hope of having this ready before the end of this weekend. So, I've decided to create a version .4 after all. Now, this is a very small update of course... it will complete the scene with Kat at the end of Day 4. If some of you didn't bother downloading it yet because of that, well here you go. Also, this is the full AVN up to this point and available to a...

Public Status Update - Version .5 (11/5)

Hello everyone! Almost the weekend again and it has been almost 2 weeks since my last update on version .5 (Day 5). 

Well, where to start? It's been a crazy couple of weeks here between my full time job, family stuff, and trying to work on Serenity as much as possible. I way overestimated myself on releasing no later than Wednesday (yesterday). Here it is Thursday the 5th and I'm still roughly only 1/3 through the renders I need to complete for this release. I probably shouldn't ha...
