And here we are, with 0.03.0 ready for release. While the previous two builds were prologue and setting, this one will start showing the players how they will interact with the game over the length of the story. As mentioned in the last post, we've streamlined the backend code to reduce "spaghettification" where returning the...

So, all apologies for not being totally available for comments here, Discord or Twitter over the last week or so. I've been tied up in a huge day-job project that's got me working 55+ hour weeks for the next few months. And then, last week I got my Annual Cold, which means I was super doped up on a cocktail of shit that got m...

And work for 0.03.0 is underway. At this point, we're working to add in the major functionality for the game, which should make future updates purely a matter of building new scenes and adding them to the appropriate script file.
A big thanks goes out to patron Lightman, who suggested a way to str...

For May 2022's NSFW Wallpapers, we're going to right a wrong. At least partially. I will admit that the skinny dipping scene in Now & Then Chapter 23 is one of my favorite moments. It's fun, sexy and allows the player to get time with the cast in between more serious events. The only problem? It happens w...

After a few days to acclimate to his new situation, Michael starts the process of finding others left in the Interim, but not without the gravity of his situation causing some well-deserved grief of his own.

After getting the first release out, which served as narrative prologue and provide a taste of what's to come, we got hard at work to make sure 0.02.0 would start transitioning the players into how the world of the Interim works.

And here we are, roughly at the halfway point. Most of the major scenes for this update have been built, even if they may need some adjustments. Outside of a few scenes to round out the experience and some rework for pacing, we're zooming in towards a release.

I'm here to formally announce the development of The Interim Domain 0.02.0. Truthfully, development for this was in the works almost as soon as 0.01.0 was out the door. With the prologue nature of the first release, I knew that we'd need to jump into a proper content build. But, as with Now & Then...

Not one to spend too much time relishing in the completion of one project (not entirely, but more on that below), we're hard at work pulling 0.01.0 of The Interim Domain together.
