Back

I quit my job. Not an easy decision but it was at the tails end anyways, I had like 4 months left on the contract so they docked me for that period and a penalty but I wasn't happy. Workload was just escalating. I do have savings to keep me going for awhile and I rather be doing this.

For now this project will be my onl...

Status

Hello guys, I'm still alive lol I do apologize for the delay. I will disable billing a third time until I get sorted out. Even the time I do get to sit down and work on this my mind is not focused and I felt like the story and renders would end up subpar. Even what I did finish kind of pushed the story faster than what was in...

Payments paused

Hello everyone. I had to pause this months payment cycle. I couldn't in good faith charge anyone. Its not about the time, i have in the past charged patrons for work that took 1.5 months but this time the work and time I put in can't justify charging anyone.  Ie- I don't think the time i invested is enough to take $.&nbs...

About the coming update

This one won't be on the regular end of month schedule. To much pressure from my job and I tried to use any free time on rendering. My best guess is progress is at 40%, roughly. So yeah, didn't want to keep anyone in the dark. Expect it to be sometime in November. I'll be doing what I can to reduce the time. 

Major bug in 0.41

Currently the playthrough of version 0.041 is missing the entirety of the last chapter 0.4. I'm doing some bug fixes on typos etc before repackaging it.  If you are a new Patron let me know if you want the current version. The new one will be available in 1-2 hours. Links sent to DM. 

0.041 release

I think the story needed an intermission of sorts. But things will be moving in the next one. 

Version 0.041 release tomorrow

Sending out links tomorrow 99.9%, a slight delay caused mainly by the dialogue and some of the new coding mechanisms. The entire code is different now so saves might not work but the code now allows me to give consequences to the choices the protagonist makes. Something I also want to do is revamp the SFX in game and one or t...

Current status

I'm not too good with the status updates etc... I get tunnel visioned and I think spoilers ruin the fun of what's expected so I try to keep any visual updates to a minimum. 

But anyways, work hasn't stopped, one good scene is finished(Renders + dialogue), the second is underway about 30% in and will be followed by ...

Update 0.04

0.04 should be ready sometime today, depending on your timezone. Renders,code and all dialogue is in place. (Adding 5 more renders just to round out the ending) Will be polishing and checking for bugs before sending out links. It should have been ready by the 14th but I extended the first scene. I thought it needed something ...

What I was working on.

This took some time, trying to find the right assets. A before and after. Some minor changes were done to the second one but the set was completed a few days ago. Current work is churning the renders. There's two more scenes after this one in familiar territory so nothing new I have to solve or think about.

Chapter 0.036

Even I'm not sure how to feel about this one. But I learnt alot, used it as training wheels for upcoming scenes. Not yet specified if that character will reappear but there's still a very short segment to be added at the end of the beach chapter, just a few frames to add something to the story. Will be in the next one. Hope y...

Info on the next update.

Next update V.0.036 should be ready in a couple of days. Stuck on a certain part of the script.  Once I get over that I will send links out. 

V 0.035 is out

A setup and long overdue interaction.  It is mellow in nature but the volume is going up to ten in the second half.  

Chapter 3 conclusion

For some reason, this short piece took more effort than the entire previous update. You can guess from the ending what the next update will center on but I also have something special planned for the rest of Chapter 4.  Work on that will resume shortly in a few days.  

Chapter 3

I had fun putting this chapter together, sort of a slice of life that slows the story down and pulls on character strings. I'm thinking of more of these in the next chapter just to give more depth to relationship dynamics. 

Upcoming update 0.028

Chapter 3 is expected to be released by early march. This will be a lighthearted entry that will explore some of the characters in more ways than one.

V 0.02 Conclusion

This was meant as a conclusion as most of the content of day 2 was in V 0.015.  I focused most of the work on the conversation in the start to push the story forward and added the other two scenes as a filler and glimpse into what's coming. 

Chapter 2

I liked how it turned out although I really wanted to do more with it. Had some issues with organization this time around and it created some problems that limited the outcome.  However, this was an important day to push the protagonist in a certain direction.
