A little holiday render from N2

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd send out my first holiday render for this year. I'll try to send several more before Christmas. Today, we have Serenity's Pantherian sisters, Trixy and Mia! Our next Serenity update is nearly ready, so hang in there!

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 11 (Public)

This is the final devlog I'll be posting for this update. I should be just about ready to send this out to beta within about a week or so (if all goes well of course). If you played Episode 1, then you should know about the double date with Triss and Lili. The preview is from that scene.

I'm right about 92% done on rendering (not counting animations which take the longest to build). I work my regular job remote the rest of this week plus I have the weekend, so hoping I can get the major...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 10 (Public)

Hey everyone,

So, the last 4 days were a long holiday with family and friends. I didn't do any work at all. I really needed that breather, but a part of me wanted to be using that time off from my regular job to focus on this update. Still, before the holiday started, I had been chugging along pretty well knocking these scenes out. As a result of that steady pace, I'm about 85% done. At last, we are finally on the downhill side of this thing. And it won't be much longer now. I have 2 sh...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 9 (Patrons)

Hello everyone!

I've finally gotten to a nice pace and workflow. Working in tandem with my full-time job and this has had some challenges, but I think I am getting better at dealing with that. As a result, I've made quite a lot of progress.

As everyone who follows Serenity knows, Morgan was written into the Serenity world by Karen (Mom). The real Morgana is now there as well. In this episode, you'll be spending some time with her and learn that a strange phenomenon takes place whe...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 8 (Patrons)

Happy Friday patrons!

I decided to post this weekend's devlog a little early because I'll be pretty busy. I'm working on nothing but this update all weekend (outside of a football game I want to see tomorrow night).

The preview this week is just a single image of Camilla. She begins a new story arc in this episode. And with that, a small announcement: I am setting up her arc so that I can come back later and create a very small "Camilla" based game (separate from Serenity). This i...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 7 (Public)

Happy Friday all!

(Please note this post contains minor spoilers)

Where to begin? So, last weekend, I was travelling and visiting family - dealing with family matters, etc. Sorry you didn't get a weekly devlog last week but hopefully this one will make up for that with some nice previews.

Currently, I am about 23% into rendering graphics for episode 2. And this process as you know takes me a bit longer than it used to because I spend more time trying my best to make each ren...

Serenity Chapter 1: Version 1.6

Serenity Chapter 1 (version 1.6) - I have added an option to skip one scene at the beginning of Day 5 that a few found offensive. Also, I added a transparency slider in the preferences and improved the dialogue font. Now you can adjust to your personal preference, plus made the text box wider because some lines were too long and were cut off at the bottom. Finally, just cleaned out a few unused files leftover from past changes.

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 6 (Patrons)

Hello again patrons!

So, as I've alluded to over the last few devlogs, I've been dealing with some family matters but managing to work around it. I'm happy to say that despite the bullshit going on around me, I managed to get the first 3 scenes completed (graphics). I'm at a point where I am putting in another animation now, and those take time. I have a lot of scenes to go, but we'll get there.

That said, I am definitely not where I wanted to be by this time of the month. I menti...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 5 (Public)

Hello again everyone!

For this week's public devlog, I thought I'd share a short animation of the opening scene for Serenity Chapter 2, Episode 2. It's just a quick glimpse, 15 seconds. But I wanted to let you see what I am trying to accomplish and why updates take a bit longer these days. As with Last Human (recently released first episode available here), I'm trying to add more animated conte...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 4 (Patrons)

Hello again my friends, and thank you so much for your generous support :)

Today, I finally completed writing/coding episode 2. I expected to be done with that over a week ago. But I've had to deal with some personal matters as my family has been going through some things that there is no need to get into here. Bottom line, that's mostly sorted now, and the coding is finally complete. 

The preview image this week is... well, I think I won't say. Some of you will probably figu...

Subscription Billing

Hey everyone! Happy Friday :)

I just wanted to drop a short note to let you know that I have switched the billing options on my Patreon to the newly available 'subscription billing' plan. What this means is that from now on, new patrons that decide to subscribe will be charged on the day they join and will pay monthly on that same day each month.

This to me is a much better option for patrons. Before, if you joined on the 25th of the month, you would be charged on that day, then a...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 3 (Public)

Happy Friday everyone!

I have a few things to tell you in this devlog. First, I'm going to start posting these devlogs every weekend (sometime between Friday and Sunday). Every other devlog will be public. The patron version will usually contain a bit more information about the game/story and will include a nice lewd image. Patron devlogs are for all tiers ($2 and up).

The next thing is streams. I've been contemplating doing streams for patrons in the $10 and up tiers. Over the la...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 2 (Patrons)

Hey everyone,

I waited a bit longer than I intended to post this next Serenity devlog (I want to start posting them about once per week, every other week being patron posts). Anyway, this one will be a bit shorter than the usual books I post up ;)

Quick and dirty status: I have one final scene to code. After that, I'll do the first quick proofread to check for continuity in the story, grammar/spelling and so forth. That is something I always do just after I finish...

Serenity Chapter 1 Announcement (Updated)

Update: So, after receiving MANY dm's and comments, I have decided how I will handle this for now. It will be a quick fix and then I'll continue episode 2 development. First, I should explain why this happened and also correct myself - the scene takes place at the beginning of Day 4 (not 5). This came up after a comment someone made on my itch page for Serenity chapter 1. The commenter was pretty rude about it, but I tried to be civil in my reply and decided I would resolve t...

Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 1 (Public)

Hello again everyone!

Now that we've begun our trek across the universe in Last Human, it's time to get back to a world that most of you are already familiar with. The first episode of Serenity Chapter 2 was much more successful than I expected. I received so many great comments and feedback from both new and old fans (of Serenity Chapter 1).

Last Human reception (Public Post)

(Please note that this post will contain spoilers from the first release of LH)

Hey everyone! This is a long post so bear with me. Last Human (Episode 1) has been public for little over one day now. From the messages I am receiving via DM's and my various websites, it has done even better than I expected. I also noticed that a few people whom I know did not like Serenity, really enjoyed LH. And that's great because I was hoping to pull in a few new "N2" followers. Subscriptions and mone...

Alright, where do I start? If you're on my discord, you probably already know what I am dealing with. But read on anyway for clarity and new details.

So, on Saturday a huge "tree" fell out of the huge tree in my back yard. Yes, I said a "tree" fell out of it because they are not branches. Anyway, this thing took out the power line and internet lines that feed my house, ripped my shed apart, and damaged part of the roof of my house. As a result of this, an unfortunate series of shitty ev...

Hello again everyone!

It has been a bit since my last devlog; I apologize - I hope the extra preview images make up for it :) ... A lot of work has been done for the first episode of Last Human. Starting a new project like this has made me realize you can never plan for everything! I keep getting to parts where I need certain assets that I don't have. So, I end up having to look for something, make it from scratch, or try to hire a modder who is able/willing to do it for me. The last ma...
