With all that's going on (around the office and with the looming holidays), I figured now was the best time to drop this post. I expect that this is the last preview of ILS Productions' next title before it's formally announced. So, consider this a fun little peek at work that's being held off to the side until Now &a...

Personal drama from within the Marshand house soon goes by the wayside as events outside the home present a more pressing need to be addressed.

So, we're a few days out from the release of Episode 22. It's a pretty beefy update, with numerous conversations that you may or may not even see depending on what you've done so far. In fact, there's a fair amount of variations throughout. Add in a number of key plot moments (some of which are also based on your previous cho...

It's always funny how I get to this point in the build and I start thinking "oh, man, I only have a few scenes left to do" as I'm considering how much work remains, but then I start adding things up and it's a hell of a lot more than that. It's transitions. It's cleaning up the script. It's redoing some shots and ani...

November 2021's Patron-exclusive wallpapers are a simple theme: Waking up on a nice, sunny morning. Nothing too extravagant, but sometimes it's the simple things that you need to enjoy.
In truth, this set generated from scene data where I really nailed the morning lighting effects, visual haze and all, in one sequence a...

All right, episode 22 is underway and there's a lot to it. Even just looking at the base plot outline. Not really kidding when I saw there is a lot of story left to tell and I'm having to move it around on the plot document for the rest of the game to fit it all in.
With that said, there's a ton of work to be done...

Tis the spooky season and I figured instead of more cosplay for the public wallpapers, we should get the cast as demonic succubi, horns and all. [Insert horny joke here].

With a little hustle, we've got the latest chapter ready for release over the new few days. While not as sprawling in scope, this one's packed with content. I won't say more because it'd be Spoiler City.
But... there's a lot here that feeds into the end of numerous arcs and sets up story beats in the last handful ...

And here we are, at roughly the halfway point. I won't give the breakdown on progress I usually do because so many scenes are in such weird states. The four big scenes are already shot and animated with the base code done, but the script is in pieces and still being fleshed out, which leads to some inevitable reshoots. But, f...

With us running a little behind (by my preferred scheduling), we jumped right into development of CH21. Most of what's been done so far is a lot of screens for scenes that haven't been hammered out, yet. I know what I want from the scene and there's always room for re-writes and re-shoots. Plus, getting half of the intimate s...

It's October again, which means the perfect time for everyone to dress up. So, everyone's in costume, standing around in the pumpkin patch. Is there a party somewhere? Probably.

All right. It's a little late and it took far more stress and effort than was necessary, but 0.20.0 is ready to go. While I was able to save all the game data, there was a number of things that I didn't expect to need to reinstall until I had the new laptop running. Like the Java Development Kit just to build the Android vers...

So, we're doing this a little out of order this month. As the files for 0.20.0 are just now being uploaded for the upcoming release, I took the time to get the Public and NSFW wallpapers done. The theme this month? Fantasy! We get Carol as a mage and Naomi as a warrior, wielding a Zweihänder.

So, the worst has happened. My laptop died. I should've seen it coming, what with the issues I was having as of late. Let's just say that the battery was swollen, soft and squishy, which is not a thing you want from a battery unless you're the machines from The Matrix. And this was just the last in a long line of things that ...

Here we are, siting at just over the half-way point, give or take. While I usually say that building each chapter if different or unique, based on numerous variables, most have been done in a fairly linear fashion. Sure, I've shifted some sequences around for better pacing. This time around, though, because of my day job, I'v...

The theme for September 2021's Patron-exclusive wallpapers is relaxation. With so many wallpapers featuring Carol and Naomi, I thought I'd mix it up and feature Alice and Julie taking a moment alone for themselves to enjoy a favorite drink.

We're back and development on Chapter Twenty is up and rolling. With what happened at the end of the last chapter, the story picks up the following morning. Of course, if you made a different decision, you'll still have another opportunity later on.
At this point, locking in the plot document is a matter of dumpin...

For August's Public Wallpapers, our theme is "Good Morning," where you can wake up with either Carol or Naomi in bed with you. I mean, there are worse ways to greet the day. And I say this as a person who now has to get up before sunup for work. It's so totally thrown off my internal clock, I no longer sleep late on my days o...
