With the release of the last update already a little over a week behind us, I'm happy to say that the release seems to have been very well received! I only have a few metrics to go off, but judging by those and the feedback I saw, people seemed to really like, which is really the best thing I can hope for!
And as always...

So, a quick little update on the progression of the new release. Everything has been going smooth and we're story/script complete. Right now I'm waiting for the last batch of images so that the new update will also be art-complete. My best estimate is that this should be somewhere between January 20th and the 27th 2024-01-14 18:35:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Hope everyone had a great holiday season and New Year's, I know I sure did.
Lot of good news behind the scenes; number 1 being the progress on the current update that I'm working on. Production has been going steady, the script is essentially finished. The only reason for the slight delay is that the update is probably ...

My real job vacation just got started so I thought this might be the perfect moment share this piece with all of you! Just like last year, I asked one of the main artists on TSSR to come up with a holiday-themed design, and I hope you all enjoy it!
It's crazy to think about how the game has continued to develop over the...

So, this latest release further expands on the Warrior-storyline. It picks up from where we've last left, which would be after the optional storyline featuring Garret, and then continuing from there. It mostly serves as a bridge/setup to a very large storyline that will follow a...

With production on the art coming along nicely, I now feel pretty confident giving an estimate on the next update.
I'm aiming for the next update to drop in the upcoming weekend, so give or take the 18th/19th.

Quick little update since last time.
I was happy to read a lot of people responded postively to my previous post, showing you all a little bit of the behind-the-scenes considerations that go into creating TSSR, as well as the longer term planning, so that was very encouraging!
So far, I can report that I'm still h...

So, quick update on the game, hard at work on the next update. Still a little too soon to talk about it in more detail, hope I can do that soon, but I've included a preview image up above. Here we see Sarah at night, dressed in a new (optional) outfit, meeting with Razaphel the spirit.

Hard at work here at putting the finishing touches on the upcoming update, centered around the always well-intentioned and honorable ship captain Belmont.
Good news is that the writing is complete and the art is also nearly complete. Due to a mix-up with the artist, the last two or so scenes ended up getting delayed, so...

Just a quick update from my side!
Everything is coming along quite well. I've been on a real writing kick lately, so I've been making incredible progress. You never know for certain, but I feel more confident every day about completing the full game script ahead of my personal schedule (though to be clear, that's still...
I dropped the last update around a week ago and I'm happy to say that it seemed to be positively received by a lot of you! Writing it had been a lot of fun and it was a chance for me to revisit the Princess-route which hadn't received an update in a while.
The update itself I think tells only half the story, with the la...

The main focus of this update is on further expanding the Princess-storyline. This new update expands both the Varga-storyline (where Sarah marries Varga) and the "Neither" storyline, or basically the storyline where Sarah opts out of marrying anyone.
These two versions of the P...

So, as I promised last week, I'd try and give a more concrete estimate on the expected release for the upcoming expansion of the Princess-storyline.
Currently, everything is progress smoothly and I'm getting pretty close to being story and art complete.
I'll give myself a little wiggle room, but I feel confident i...

I hope to be able to give you all a more concrete update regarding the upcoming patch. Development is still progressing smoothly, so I suspect I'll be able to give a reasonable estimate sometime next week.
Because I didn't want to leave you all with nothing, I've included two images of re-worked art. Specifically, we're...

Not much new to report on the production side of the new update. Work is still chugging along and I'm still happy with the progress I'm making, but unfortunately I don't want to spoiler too much new stuff yet!
So instead, how about something old?

Just a quick update for now to let you all know about the progress on the next update.

The new content in this update is focused around introducing a new character on Sarah's warrior-storyline. It's somewhat of a side-story, so opting into the story content is important to get the full experience, otherwise the content cuts out quite quick.
For those that opt into...
2023-06-21 09:37:56 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised in a previous post, I'd come back with a more solid prediction on the expected release date for the next update, and I'm happy to say everything has been coming along quite well so I finally feel confident giving a date.
The next update is going to be released somewhere between the 18th and 25th 2023-06-13 07:50:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Work on the latest update has been moving along quite well, I'm not quite yet ready to put an exact date on it, but it's definitely this month, and likely earlier than later.

Not too much interesting to report as of this week. The work on the next update has been coming along steadily, making good progress so far. Too early to name a specific date, but I'm happy with the rate-of-progress so far.

A small heads up on the expected release date for the next update.
