Serenity post-release & Last Human updates

Sorry in advance for the long post, but there are a few things to cover. The image is just a random I through together with some of the girls wearing costumes from art I did in the past (not a preview from the upcoming release). Now that Serenity's update is finally done and out there, we can start talking about what is next. Other than the obvious, Last Human's update, there are some changes and a rewrite that are going to take place during this development run. I have my work cut out for me...

Serenity Chapter 2 (Episode 3) Release

Release Notes: 1272 images added, plus 9 animations. 3200 lines of code. 14 new music tracks (a couple of previous tracks were also reused). Development time: 5 months

Installation: Extract to a new location (do NOT extract over the previous version of your game).

Android users: I do not support android. I cannot help you if it doesn't work for you. I can only build it using the automated tool in renpy. If you have issues, please ...

Serenity Chapter 2 (Episode 3) Release Schedule

Release Notes: After edits and trimming a few things, 1272 images were added, plus 9 animations. Around 3200 lines of code. 14 new music tracks (a couple of previous tracks were also reused). Development time: 5 months

This release took 5 months to build... But it actually took much longer (about a year) because I did 2 updates to Last Human before coming back to Serenity. I don't plan to do that again unless something major happens. So, I apologize for the long wait. H...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 17)

Hey everyone! Well, I have good news... I have started on scene 15 as of yesterday, so I've had a really great week development-wise. I have commissioned Cryoxxx to work on an animation for me so that I can keep plugging away at these renders and get this thing done. So, it's thanks to him that I can keep rendering. After scene 15, just 2 scenes left to go, and they aren't overly long and should be fairly easy to manage. I'm going to do as much as I can over this weekend. I do have some anima...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 16)

Hello again everyone and Happy Friday :)

Alright, let's get right to business... I am nearly done with scene 11 and will begin scene 12 probably by tomorrow night. I HOPE to finish scene 12 by Sunday night and on to scene 13 by Monday. Beyond that will be just 4 scenes to go, getting these renders completed. This takes so damn long because I render a LOT of images. My image-per-line ratio is like a 2 average, with a lot of '1 image for 1 line' also. Meaning, each line of dialog has a ne...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 15)

Hello everyone and happy weekend again! It has been a VERY busy week as usual at my full-time job. All those damn computer upgrades are finally done though (last few done this week). Still, I was able to finish scene 10 (pretty long scene) and I'm about halfway through scene 11 now. I am kind of stuck because I really want to add an animation (Kat driving a car like a maniac) but I am not fast at making animations. Although I've come a long way since I started, I don't make enough of them I g...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 14) - Patrons

Hello and happy weekend to you dream writers!

This past week was seriously busy with my full-time job. I did work on Serenity but not quite as much as I would have liked. I did get a lot done considering. I am about halfway through scene 10 currently, which is a pretty long one and has one animation. I completed that animation today (short one just looking at Kat's new look). Yep, she changed her hair a bit but I don't know if she only did that for her date with Mike or if she'll keep i...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 13)

Hello again everyone! I didn't have time yesterday to post as I normally try to on Fridays. In last week's devlog, I was working on scene 6. Today, I am finishing up scene 8 and going into scene 9 - so we're moving right along. However, with 17 scenes, this is obviously not going to be finished before the end of this month. And I really can't stress myself about how long it is taking because the doctor said I need to chill out on all the stress. Apparently, that's why I've been getting sick s...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 12)

Hello my friends and happy Friday! Not a lot to say this week. The update is coming along nicely though. I have completed scenes 1 through 5 (of 17) and am currently working on scene 6. I am still fighting a nasty cold that isn't allowing me any sleep (wake up coughing all night). I'm hoping I am on the downhill side of this mess though because I did manage to get 4 hours sleep last night.

As mentioned in last week's devlog, this episode will have Melody and Celeste going bac...

Melody Special Render Set (Patrons)

Hello my beloved supporters! I completed scene 5 artwork last night and decided today I would work on another special render set for you guys. I chose Melody for this one because she'll be leaving Serenity in episode 3. This set has her in various states of dress, posing with and without one of her guitars. I'll probably do a set for Celeste also at some point, but I may wait until after the release since I don't really want to spoil her 'true form' ;)

Thank you all for your ...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 11)

Hello again everyone. It seems January has been a hectic month for me, but not really straining my dev time yet. Last week I was fighting an upper respiratory infection, my wife and I both. Got over that mess only to catch a common cold yesterday. It sucks, but I can sit at my desk and work... and work I will. But going to bed a lot earlier to make sure I get plenty of rest and drinking plenty of fluids. Taking some meds and taking it easy. Also, on Wednesday evening, my wife's mother passed ...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 10)

Hello and happy Friday to everyone!

When I last posted my public devlog, I think I said I was working on scene 3 (of 16). So, currently, scene 3 is completed and I am now nearly finished with scene 4. I've been moving right along at a decent pace considering I have been fighting a nasty upper respiratory infection. Thankfully, I am just on the back end of that mess, just a lot of hacking and coughing. I have been thinking about doing one of those fancy progress bars to post in my devlog...

Serenity C2 EP3 Previews (Patrons)

Hey friends... 3 more preview images from scene 4. A little Celeste action with a couple of girls spying on them.

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 9 - Patrons)

Hey everyone. I hope the weekend has been a good one! Just an update on where I am on the Serenity episode 3 update. In my last devlog, I said that I was working on scene 3. I am about to finish up that scene today. It's one of the longer scenes, so that's why it has taken this long to finish it. Outside of that, I've caught an upper respiratory infection. So, I've spent a lot of time sleeping, trying to get over this mess as well. Taking off from full-time job tomorrow and probably Tuesday t...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 8)

Hello my friends and Happy New Year! Here is the first devlog for 2024. Brace yourselves, this one might be kinda long. So grab a coffee (or tea), relax, and open your Serenity Island books to Chapter 2, episode 3. Yes, I know it is blank... that's why we're here LOL

First... some actual devlog information because it is just a few sentences: Episode 3 will have 16 scenes, I am currently working on images for scene 3. So, that's where we are on that. I hope to have a release ready by mid...

Happy New Year 2024!

Reflecting on the last year, I realize how much my following has grown. I want to say how happy I am to have such support from around the world! I've had to overcome so many obstacles and set-backs, but somehow you guys hang in there. I appreciate the patience you've shown throughout 2023! So, thank you for that!

For 2024, I hope to improve release timing. I am considering shorter releases (half episodes) and will be asking you guys to vote on how you feel about that later. For now thou...

Cynthia image set - NSFW Renders for Patrons

Cynthia... the accident-prone, short neko with the big mommy milkers for you guys. Someone wanted to see her in a cow outfit... didn't have one so kinda had to make one.

Serenity C2 EP03 Preview (Patrons - NSFW)

"It's all in the eyes..."

Happy hump day everyone! If you're taking a break from humping, this is a render directly from episode 3 that I decided to share with patrons today. Yep, that's Milanna with MC in a bath.

One of the things I always focus on when I render these images for my story is eyes. Together with the right expressions, I hope that readers can see how she feels even without reading the dialog. If you guessed that she is expressing love and admiration, you would be co...

Naughty or Nice?

Are you on Santa's 'naughty' or 'nice' list? Pretty sure where most of you belong! Another quick Christmas render to share with you...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 7)

Hey everyone, another brief devlog along with a Christmas render for you guys - Shade tried to stop Fade from lighting the Christmas tree. I may be pretty quiet through the rest of this month because I have a lot on my plate. Here is what is happening and how it will affect the update...

First of all, I honestly thought that this year I would have more dev time through the holidays, but it just hasn't worked out that way. Episode 3 has been a long time coming - a long time since episode...

Last Human on Lewdflix

Hey guys! Feeling a bit better today. Thought I would share this with you all...

I'm sometimes asked to support web versions of my games. I do not support them (and probably won't - I have enough to deal with already). On most sites that serve my games in this way (playable in your browser), I found they were missing music, animations didn't play correctly, and all sorts of issues. So, I kept my distance from them.

But this new and quickly growing site has quite a solid player bui...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 6)

Hey everyone... so another quick update. Keeping this short.

Good news, the coding is completed. Now it's time to move on to the artwork. Bad news, I've been sick since Friday. I'm not sure if it's covid or just a really bad cold/flu. At first it was just that annoying dry cough. But last night, body aches started up and a minor headache. Haven't lost sense of taste or smell yet so hoping this is just a bad cold. I tried several times to do some artwork over this weekend when I finished...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 5)

Hey everyone... keeping this one short (for a change lol). Just wanted to send a quick update since I didn't post last week. Which, speaking of, was pretty busy. During holiday weeks, we get pretty busy with a lot of people deciding to take off for the week and wanting remote access (and of course, everyone forgets their passwords or how to do basic stuff on a laptop - same story all the time). So, I spent the first part of last week busy with full time job in IT. Once that chaos was over wit...

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 4)

Welcome to another weekend my friends! Kinda long, so some of you may not want to read a lot of it but I thought some might be interested in my process.

Alright, the devlog update itself - I guess I am about 78% done with coding now. After reading through an event, I realized it needed some changes. So, I gave it a rewrite. It's just one of those things... You write something the first time around and when reading it back, you start to see that you missed a great opport...

Lena: Serenity C2 and snuggle? (All Patrons)

Just a little render I had started to do a while back and decided to finish today. ;)

Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 3)

So... Happy weekend again everyone :)

I skipped my usual devlog last week, so prepare for my wall of text! haha! I honestly didn't have much to report, and I was pretty busy to be honest. But I've done well to manage time with my full-time job, and time for Serenity. So, no worries, things are still going pretty well. There are spoilers ahead... so if you hate them, don't read beyond the first sentence of this next paragraph (and hope you have a wonderful weekend!)
