This week I've been doing bits of everything, letting my motivation decide what to do each day. It's been a fun week, and it went by too fast.
I've been working on content for all major branches and while branching isn't new for me, branching at this scale is different work than usual. It requires plenty of planning to move everything nicely along the main story. I can already tell how this upd...

The release went smoothly, so I've been able to work on episode 9 this week. I will release any changes to the Interlude in the form of bug fixes and typos together with episode 9 (v0.9.0). I will release the walkthrough for the Interlude later this month.
It should come as no surprise that the development of episode 9 will take more time than the Interlude. It's goi...
2022-03-11 09:20:25 +0000 UTC View PostTesting is going well. We are currently evaluating the save transfer system and haven't encountered any big bugs yet.

We are getting closer to the release.
Animations for the Interlude are complete, and beta testing and proofreading will start partly today.
The biggest task during beta testing is to test the save transfer system used to import your Season 1/2 games (Patreon/Steam/GOG).
I wish to work out any kinks before a public release, hoping this will go smoothly.

We have arrived at the final part of the Patron milestone reward.
I have attached all comic book pages to the post and full-resolution versions of a couple of renders used to make the comic book.
I hope you have enjoyed the reward as much as I have.
Thanks again for your donation and for being a vital part of keeping the Being a DIK project alive. I couldn't do this without you.

PCs have been rendering animations this week, and the speed is decent.
As I've mentioned before, I've been exploring SFW animations more than usual, but I've also tried utilizing a different kind of animation type that I've done a few times during lewd scenes in the past. I'm talking about animations where the camera cuts between different angles, making it more cinematic than looping. I found ...

It was a productive week. I have finished posing all art and completed most coding tasks as well.
What remains now is waiting for animations to render, polishing, and playtesting.
After that, I can send the game to my team of testers and proofreader.
Render times shouldn't be too bad, I hope, but time will tell.
Testing is hopefully smooth this time, too, since it'...

I've been working on art and menu/GUI stuff this week.
I'm done with adding music/sound effects. Coding is shaping up too, there's some left to do. I will be spending time working on animations in the upcoming week. I'm not sure how many more I need for this update; it's a story-focused update after all, but posing animations is the big task that remains.
I'm making good progress on the i...
2022-01-28 17:53:07 +0000 UTC View PostThank you for all of your questions; there were a lot of them this year. So many that I had to split the Q&A into two parts.
I've read them and compiled the ones I wish to answer. Many questions would require me to spoil the game's future, so I haven't answered those. My about section Patreon page answers some questions, so I didn't answer those. As expected, there were also repeat questions from earlier Q&As, and I'll address some of these shortly.
In part 1, I will answe...

I'm checking in to let you know it's starting to turn around for the better with the covid.
For the last three days, I've been having intermittent 40C/104F fever, and today it's the first day without fever.
I'm drained of energy, but I feel that I'm getting better. I'll try working again in another day or two.

I have some bad news; I tested positive for covid today (Omikron variant).
I need to rest and can't work as usual this week. PCs are rendering animations, though, so there's still progress being made, thankfully.
I hope I will feel better soon and be back at it. I'm feeling ok, given the circumstances.
Aside from that, it's time for part eight of the Patron milestone reward.

This week I've been working on several different areas of the game, including renders, animations, and GUI/main menu updates.
I'm almost finished with the writing, I have a couple of more scenes left to write, and several coding tasks remain.

It was an amazing week, and right now, I'm drained. Releasing the game on Steam and GOG was such a relief in many ways, and I could feel how my stress levels have reduced since yesterday.
