Anyway, we got about 1,060 renders done and 14 animations.

Love ya'll and once again I'm sorry,

Slock

In the Big Easy

Hey, folks, Storm here.

This week I'm visiting New Orleans. In part as a much-needed vacation, but also to do some research for Heaven's Door.

For those who are new here, Heaven's Door is our next game, set just outside the small Louisiana town of Houma. So I'm getting a brief taste of the local culture, going to visit Houma itself this week just to get a feel for the town, and going to stop in to a local strip club so I have that firsthand experience for ge...

Pins are here!

Hey guys, our pins for Bare Witness and Heaven's Door both finally arrived, and we're getting ready to ship them out to you soon! If you're a Gold member, you get one pin for each month you're a member at that level until you've got all three pins (you get to choose the order in which they're sent). For Platinum and EP members, you get all three for your first month of support!

Plus, the Heaven's Door pin is glow-in-the-dark!

An update and a preview image

Hey folks! Storm here.

Just wanted to give a quick update on how things are going. The script currently sits at about 17,000 words. My goal is approximately 30,000 for this initial release, so I'm a bit more than halfway there. Slockie is right on my heels with the posing and rendering. Last I saw we were at over 650 renders and 7 animations.

If you've been keeping up, the girl in the photo above is Sylvanie, one of the love interests of Heaven's Door. She is easily one of the mos...

Chapter 1 Preview

Heyo,

Just a quick little public preview of Sylvanie. Progress is steady, was slowed down a bit this weekend because of the holiday and new Cod beta but we're back at it, grinding away.

Which Bare Witness ending did you enjoy most?

We've heard from our players on Discord, and we've seen the statistics on Steam, but we wanted to hear from you, our supporters: which ending was your favorite?

Progress on Heaven's Door continues

Hey all!

Thought I'd drop in and give you a progress update. After some lengthy (sometimes heated) debate, we've decided to do a much larger first release than I'd initially planned. I had figured doing 8-10k word scripts for each release would be best, but Slockie convinced me that having a good chunk of game at the start would be better received by you all, so that's what we went with.

We're aiming for about 30k words of script for that first release. I'm about 9k words in now,...

Heaven's Door is underway!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that we've started primary work on Heaven's Door! So far I've written nearly the entire first release, and Slockie is about 75 renders in. It's coming along well, and we wanted to share with you one of the first images in the game: our lovely, goth redhead, Thora!

We'll post more as we progress, but for now we hope you enjoy this sneak peek at our ...

Introduction to the love interests of Heaven's Door

These are the main love interests of the upcoming Heaven's Door! You may have seen a few of these elsewhere, but we wanted to get all of our girls in one place for a proper introduction.

Bare Witness Steam release date

Hey all! Just a quick note to let you all know that Bare Witness will be releasing on Steam on July 20th!

Visit our store page to wishlist the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2387380/Bare_Witness/

We appreciate you all being here. Keep an eye open for another post later tonight about Heaven's Door!

Slight delay on the update

Hey, guys! Apologies, we're going to have a short delay on getting the updates to you all. Gotta make a few changes last minute and we just didn't have time. We'll announce as soon as the bugfixes are up. Again, shouldn't be anything major, so if you were waiting on that you should consider going ahead and playing. The changes are all going to be in chapter 5 anyways.

Thanks all. Let us know if you need anything in the meantime.

Bugfix out tomorrow

Hey all, just wanted to give you a heads up: we'll have an intermediary bugfix out tomorrow (mostly fixing script and spelling errors). If you notice any egregious errors after that is released let us know so we can make sure it's good to go for the final version.

We'll be announcing the Steam release date soon, so keep an eye open for that. If you haven't yet wishlisted the game, please do! It helps us out tremendously.

How did you discover Bare Witness?

It's been a bit over 2 years since the last time we posted a poll on this, so we figured it was time to ask again: where did you first learn about Bare Witness? If you have a moment, let us know so we can get a better idea where you all are coming from. And thank you for taking the time!

If you did discover us through a pirate site, don't worry about telling us so! We've both used F95 to find games to support as well, so we're in the same boat as you. (And that boat is fly...

Introducing Genevieve [Heaven's Door]

Often called simply "the Baroness," Genevieve Savoie is intelligent, refined, and wealthy. She can be a powerful ally, or a ruthless enemy.

Introducing Patricia [Heaven's Door]

Patricia goes by the stage name of "Nova" while working the club. You'll meet her alongside a few other love interests in the first release of Heaven's Door.

A thank you and update on the future

Heyo,

Slock here. Storm already said his gracious thank you's so I just wanted to be real quick and thank each and every single person that has supported us over the last 3+ years. It's truly been incredible, and such a fun experience. The response to BW has been so overwhelming and unexpected so I really can't thank you guys enough. Again, thank you so so so so so so so so much. I love you guys.

Update on the future:

Okay now that Bare Witness is finished, I had p...

A thank-you from Storm

Hey all, Storm here. Slockie and I had decided we wanted to take some time after the final release of Bare Witness to collect our thoughts about the past three years, so we can properly express them and not sound like, you know, blithering idiots.

With that in mind, let me start by saying: thank you. Having your support over these past three years has been a tremendous motivator for me. Your feedback, both positive and negative, helped keep us on track. But just knowing t...

Updated hosts

Hey all! You may have just received notification that we've changed the release post. Wanted to let you all know that we've moved hosts from Mega to a private server courtesy of Droosk (developer of Between Two Worlds) . This will mean much faster downloads and no more 5gb limits/requirements to pay just to finish downloading.

We're keeping the Google Drive download links just as a back-up for the Mac and...

Pins and Addresses

Hey all! If you're a current or former patron at Gold, Platinum, or EP and you've not yet received an AlterWorlds pin but would like one, please make sure your address is up to date on your Patreon profile.

If you've already got your address up there, no worries: your pin is either on its way or about to be on its way.

If none of this applies to you, feel free to ignore this post. Thanks!

Links sent to those who've supported for $10 or more

We just sent out the download links for chapter 5 to everyone Discord tells us supported the development of Bare Witness for a total of $10 or more and haven't otherwise received a download link, so a little over 300 of you should have those links now.

If you believe you should have gotten a link but did not, please message us so we can take a look and fix that. If you're a current patron at the Bronze tier or higher you should already have access to the links from the release post.

Alright, all patrons from Bronze on up should now be able to access the post with the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bare-witness-5-104874838

One final preview

Ayo,

One final preview before release, it's one of my favorite images if I'm being honest.

We have about 20 animations and 50 images waiting to render right now, so we're extremely close. Having said that, I'm so fucking nervous ya'll will hate it and it's rippin me up. Regardless, it's coming soon so we truly appreciate your patience.

Love ya'll,
Slock

Memberships renew tomorrow

Hey all, just a reminder that tomorrow is when memberships renew. If you were only here to get yourself to the $10 to qualify for release, today's your last chance to cancel before being charged.

We're very close to having a release schedule for you all. Thanks for your patience as we get these last corrections in from beta and finish up on the renders for animations. We'll announce release as soon as we possibly can.

Chapter 5 is in beta

As the headline says, we're in beta. We sent out the beta build to our testers yesterday and they've started working through the paths. Soon as we have a handle on the render queue and how long it'll take (and any fixes to the current build) we'll announce the release schedule.

That's it! Keep an eye open for the announcement, and as always: thank you for being here.
