Hey everyone,
I'm feeling better for the most part after spending the last weekend almost completely in bed.
I've been back to work (the job and the game) since Monday. The evening hours are still a bit short because I'm usually pretty tired and go to bed early.
I hope to get back to my normal schedule next week.<...
Hey there,
Just a quick update this week because I caught a cold and have spent most of my time in bed since yesterday.
current status:
72 new static renders for a total of 568
1 new animation
207 new lines in the script file for a total of 1652
A more detailed Dev Log and preview renders next w...
I did a few promo renders for the new Steam bundle.
4k versions are attached below.
Enjoy :-)
Hey everyone,
I'm proud to announce that The Neverwhere Tales joined a bundle with three other great, story-focused AVNs: Glowing Stones: Heroes' Awakening, Color of My Sound, and Leaving DNA.
The Exhilarating Stories bundle is now 10% off and set to "Complete the Bundle" so you only pay for the games you don't...
Hey everyone,
As mentioned last week, this week was a bit on the shorter side.
Considering that, I still got quite a bit of stuff done.
The new test build, for example. I finished that yesterday and did a few test runs (and a few fixes to it...).
In addition, I finished making the switch to the new main pc ...
Hey everyone,
early update today because I'll be away with the fam for the weekend later.
The new PC arrived and I started setting it up to be the main PC soon. Installing DAZ, copying over assets, etc.
Boring stuff that takes time but since I can do it beside the normal work it doesn't affect me too much.
Oth...
Hey everyone,
Just a quick update for this week as nothing extraordinary happened... which is usually a good thing.
The new PC hasn't arrived yet but once it does I'll be moving all the game-related stuff over to the new PC which will take some time.
I'll try to keep the downtime as short as possible.
The s...
Hey everyone,
It's Friday... again.
I'm almost done with my 1st test build. I'm just waiting for the animation to finish rendering and I'm good to go. So the 1st milestone for Chapter 6 is almost reached.
While waiting for the PC I'm looking into a 2nd PC dedicated to rendering so I won't have to wait for longer a...
Hey everyone,
A mediocre week progress-wise lies behind me.
The little one has been ill and at home the whole week and since I had to take care of her it hurt the progress quite a bit.
Given those circumstances, I'm still satisfied with the progress. The first test build is pretty close and I expect to have that r...
Hey everyone,
The Steam release is now a week behind me and overall I'm pretty happy with how it went.
I didn't really expect how much of a distraction it would be.
Of course, the Patreon releases before were a distraction too because you check socials, forums, etc if there are bugs, how the new release is receiv...
Hey everyone,
The Neverwhere Tales Book 1 is live on Steam.
You can get it here:

or you can get it bundled with Glowing Stone...
Not a lot of possible preview renders this week but I also did a few Elea promo shots.

Hey everyone,
a weird week that was.
Of course, the day job was pretty hectic due to the start of the month and getting back to it after 2 weeks of vacation but that was to be expected.
I'm glad it's finally Friday (part 1).
The other thing was (is...) the Steam release today.
I didn't expect it to make m...
Hey everyone,
I'm back from vacation.
Everything was pretty good, and I had a bit of time to get my mind off of work and other things.
I did a bit more planning and writing while on vacation so I have a good base to start the "real" development of Chapter 6.
I'll start setting up the first renders for Chapte...
Hey everyone,
as promised, a short update before I go on vacation.
Steam update:
As I already mentioned, the game will be released to Steam on September 6th.
The 2 weeks before the release are usually the most important because they give a game the most visibility.
If you haven't wishlisted the game y...
Hey everyone,
It's been 2 weeks since the release of Chapter 5 and while not everything went as planned or imagined, I'm happy with the result overall.
And that's mostly thanks to you guys. The messages, the feedback, the morale support - all of that has been awesome and beyond my expectations.
Thanks a lot to ev...

Hey everyone,
TLDR: Links at the end of the post
As I mentioned earlier today, I'll release the update to the Mercenary tier early.
I know that wasn't the plan I announced, but at this point everything else feels like a ripoff.
I can't go lower (or even for free) because that might give me trouble with Steam...
As the title says, if you don't want a dev see ranting about internet stuff, close this post.
So the 0.5 version got leaked earlier to a certain pirate site.
And to make it fully clear: I knew this was going to happen at some point.
In fact, I'm active there and quite a few of you guys here came t...
Hey guys,
Chapter 5 is finally here for Chaplain tier and above.
Mercenary tier will follow on August 9th.

The temporary download links for Chapter 4 because I'm an idiot who deleted the post in preparation for the Chapter 5 release.
But I forgot that there might be people who still want/need to download Chapter 4.
Sorry for that :-)

Hey everyone,
I sent out the beta version to the testers yesterday.
I don't expect a lot of major issues, mostly typos we missed earlier or easy-to-fix coding errors.
The planned release dates are:
July 27th - Chaplain tier and above
August 9th - Mercenary tier
September 6th - Steam
Have a nice ...

before you get excited: No release date (yet, but soon. Need to check the calendar first ;-) ).
This post is about how the upcoming releases will be handled.
With Chapter 5 being the first Chapter released on Steam, I basically have to paywall the game from now on.
That means no more free ver...
