Hey everyone,
the new year 2024 seems to keep throwing wrenches into my work.
Be it my own health or my family, this week it was my PC.
Last Friday, I said I wanted to finish the test build early this week.
Last Friday (evening), life said "eheheh... middle finger" and sent a power outage to roast one of my ...
Hey everyone,
It's Friday and it's time for an update.
It's been a busy week. Lots of work and private stuff to do but I still got some work on the game done.
More than I really expected. I'm still posing and rendering the images for the stuff already written but I'm catching up.
To the point where I'll probabl...
Hey everyone,
this week has been a bit of a mixed bag for me.
It started with me catching a cold and being in bed the whole Sunday and Monday. Couldn't get anything done in those 2 days.
Luckily, it's been a lot better since Tuesday although I'm still a bit tired in the evening.
Considering I'm missing 2 ful...

Hey there,
Chapter 5 will feature a few new characters and scene settings and I started to create them.
I did a few test renders of the first new character (you will spend quite a lot of time with her in Chapter 5) in one of the new environments and wanted to share them with you.
Cheers,
Ceolag
Hey everyone,
first Dev Log of the year, so Happy New Year to everyone.
I'll go into a few things today so the first part will be the TLDR stuff for those who just care about progress.
I got back into my usual dev work on January 2nd when I started setting up the first renders for Chapter 5.
Before that, I d...
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
Christmas is just around the corner, and the latest release of The Neverwhere Tales lies behind us.
Time to do th...
Hey everyone,
The download links for Chapter 4 are up (see separate post).
Chapter 4 in a nutshell:
1579 static renders (highest number of any chapter to date)
22 animations
4577 lines in the script file
13 new achievements
12 new gallery renders
an additional flashback scene early in Chapter 2...
Hey everyone,
Just a quick update:
The Beta test is still running. We found a few minor bugs (as expected) and no major ones yet (also kinda expected). It's mostly polishing the dialog and getting rid of my "weird phrasings" as my proofreader likes to call them. ;-)
We'll run a few more tests within the next ...
Alright... As I said last week, the next update will be the announcement of the Beta status and it might not be on Friday.
I was right. ;-)
Right now I'm uploading the Beta build for the testers and will send them the link within the next couple of minutes.
I added 110 renders to the game since the last Dev Updat...
Hello everyone,
The important things first. This will (most likely) be the last Dev Update for Chapter 4. The next announcement is supposed to be about the beta stage. That doesn't mean it'll be next Friday. It might be a bit later!
Why?
Short version:
Because it won't contain anything more than "I'm stil...
Friday... again? I was sure I had at least 2 more days this week until Friday...
Well, the big news got out on Wednesday anyway, so I'll keep this Dev Log short(-ish).
The numbers for this week are:
53 new static renders for a total of 1373
1 new animation for a total of 22
~100 lines in the script file for...
Hey everyone,
No, it's not Friday already and this is not a Dev log.
This is about the future of TNT after the release of Chapter 4.
TLDR version first:
My store page on Steam got approved yesterday and I'm planning to release The Neverwhere Tales on Steam when Chapter 5 (yes 5, not 4) is done.
The link...
Hey everyone,
This week has been really busy with real-life stuff. And it'll continue through the upcoming weekend (the reason why this update is 'early').
I try to squeeze in work on TNT as much as possible but being away several days from home and the PC surely takes its toll.
It won't affect my plan for the re...
As mentioned in the Dev Update I created my first trailer for the game.
Took quite a while but I'm pretty happy with the result for my first try ever doing something like this.
Hello everyone,
time for the usual update.
This one will come with some good (at least I hope so) and bad news.
I'll start with the bad one: No lewd scene in Chapter 4.
The reason lies in my decision to split the original Chapter 3 into 3 and 4.
I had no lewd content planned for the 2nd half of the chapt...
Hey everyone,
I'll make this one quick because this week has been pretty much business as usual.
No awesome news, but also no bad news. :-)
I finished the work on Elea's scene and moved on to Fiona's scene this week.
Fiona's scene is the last one before I start with the work on the chapter finale.
Elea'...
Hello everyone,
It's Friday the 13th and on that day stupid things are supposed to happen.
In my case, I loaded up Órla (Fiona's dog) just to find out she renders with weird color bugs.
After blaming buggy DAZ, Nvidia drivers, life, the universe, and some other things I found out that the problem sat in front o...
Hey everyone,
Another week has passed, and it was mostly business as usual.
Nothing spectacular happened and I didn't decide to change anything regarding the game.
I guess we can call that a win. ;-)
The work on the game has been mostly doing static renders with a bit of coding and postworking the finished r...

Hello everyone,
the next Dev Update is here.
I have 2 main topics for this week. The actual state of development (of course) and some organizational things later.
The short part first:
It has been a pretty good week, and I finished a few things. Most of the animations from last week are rendered and post-w...
Hey guys,
A quick preview of the animations I was working on this week.
Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress.
Hello everyone,
The weekend is almost here, so it's time for another Dev Update.
As mentioned last week I was mostly busy with posing animations.
I finished the work on the animations although I cut them a bit. Initially, I wanted to do more of them, but around halfway through I decided that the effort was too hi...
Kari was a redhead.
Some of you who read my Discord occasionally might know I have a smaaaall weak spot for redheads.
Yesterday someone on my Discord posted an image of a real girl looking a bit like Kari but with red hair and asked "What if Kari was a redhead."
Well... That's what you get for asking such questio...
System Sol, Earth, Northern Hemisphere, Friday, time for a Dev Update.
Another busy week lies behind me. Lots of family stuff that kept me occupied, but that will end tomorrow and we (thankfully) will have our house back after having family here for more than a month now. About time. ;-)
The progress on the game w...

Hey everyone,
It's Friday and it's time to say goodbye.
Goodbye to preview renders of Kaija since that one is the last until the release of CH4. ;-)
Of course, there will be preview renders in future dev updates, just not with Kaija.
Why am I telling you that? Because that means, I'm roughly at 50% done with...

Hey everyone,
Back to the Friday schedule.
This week has been a pretty good one. Even if I have achieved virtually nothing regarding the broken electric systems of our house I was able to make some nice progress with the development of the game, at least.
I got the next internal test build done and tested. It may...
Hey everyone,
I'm back from vacation and, as promised, here's the update for this week, as small as it might be.
Just before we left for vacation the new router arrived and our Internet is working again.
Some electric systems of the house are still damaged after the lightning but nothing that hinders the developme...
Hey everyone,
I'll keep this one short since I'm using my mobile phone as a Hotspot (with limited traffic) to write this - also no preview image because of that, Sorry.
Tuesday evening a lightning strike took out our internet connection and it hasn't been restored yet. A new router should arrive tomorrow and tha...
As promised the 2 "bonus" renders.
Rendered pretty fast (10-15 minutes for the 4k version) so I got them done earlier than expected.
4k (without Watermark) version is attached below.
