...man, rendering at these temperatures is a chore. :( I try to render in the evening as much as possible, but I gotta admit I kinda wish it was cloudy and dark Blackmore weather.
I am at the point where I've finished most of the early middle game of day 2, which is revisiting the tower. The place in front of the tower ...

We have to thank supporter AnonymousDipstick for helping out and making sure that Shadow over Blackmore will be the first of my games with a feature like that. The memory room will be available through the main menu.

Frustrating week :(.
I messed up the 2nd animation in Daz...nothing unusual. So I had to reload the scene. I tried to do that and just realized that I didn't save properly. Instead I did save the broken animation in the worst place possible, in the save file I use for the motel room.
It can happen easily. All scen...

I was wondering how many story characters should be affected by the Futa-Meter. There are characters where it makes sense, like the Matriarch. If you have selected a high futameter score, something like 68, she could have a cock. That's possible because she is clothed most of the time, and she is a "romance" option that will ...

Back to the most fun part of the dev process, finalizing the characters and introducing them to the game. I have to be careful not to introduce too much on day 2, since you will get action only with very few of them, and while a bit of teasing is fine, too much carrot stick action is not good either. Plus introducing too many...

I am fully back focussing on the new update, meaning I've started to work on the render scenes for the new update. I am not sure how big the new update should be...most likely like the first one? A full day of work (maybe a bit longer than the first one) and story plus 2 side missions sounds about right. But ultimately that i...

Alright, so it turns out you guys liked the first episode of the Shadow over Blackmore, so far so good. But now we have to top the first with episode 2. The 2nd day in the story line is going to happen, as well as a few neat new side quests.

The game is coming out first half of this month, so get ready. It is most likely coming out next sunday already!

And another update.
It is the 24th of april, and next sunday will be 1st of may. That means that I've missed my goal to release the game in april :(.
I am really close. What's missing is: The 2 optional quests (with the girls you see in the pictures), the dream sequence and a part of the inventory.

Since the first scenes came across where the ladies you encounter use specific skills on you, I started to implement them. It is nothing too fancy, but the skill that is used on you gets shown in the lower right and the screen gets tinted as you can see above. Nothing too fancy, handled with an overlay.
There will be qu...

Another week of good progress. I managed to implement imagemaps into the game. You already know imagemaps from Femdom City. When you for example are in the camp, you can hover over different spots like the girls or the boxes that let you sleep or the door that leads to the house of pain and these spots get highlighted. You cl...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are doing well. Today I want to talk about a gameplay feature, that I am reeeaaally excited about. The Futameter (don't know if that's the right way to call it)! This is most likely a bit more interesting than the hover text from the last update.
So what is it and what does it do! It is ...

Here is the finished cover art for now. I love it. You might say: Hey, that's quite a lot of people you got on there, maybe a bit less would have been better for the cover.
And I say: Hell no! It was already so hard to select them. Lots of people that I wanted to have on the cover as well are not on there.

Maybe you know this problem and you have had it yourself: When you create something rather complex (like a game), it is a difficult decision how much time you spend on the details.
The map of Femdom City is a good example. In the beginning I tried to make a map of the city myself. I bought some 3d assets of city blocks ...
