Development Status

Those of you who followed me for a while know that I have certain hardware issues.
Therefore I put development on pause until I get new hardware for rendering.
I'm not sure how long it will take but I hope to solve issues in a couple of months.
I will not put this page on pause in case someone wants to help me, but if you pledge not for support but for content - you'd better unsubscribe until further notice.
Thank you for your support and sorry for the inconvenience.

Ep3p2 is sent for proofreading

6K words, 330 renders, 1 sex scene with lesbian/futa editions.
I've rewritten it so many times to get something I would like. Still I'm not sure that it is what I want it to be.
I will most likely release it for free after all current patrons will get it first. Partly as apology for long delay, partly because of payment problems. Because of Paypal ban Payoneer was my only option for payout. Now it's partner Wirecard is under investigation for financial fraud, all accounts are frozen, ...

Development Update

For those of you who are worried - I managed to get couple of days more for rendering, so I'm trying to squeeze the best I can from that deal. Between rendering tasks and release there will be lag for programming, testing, proofreading and searching for music, I can do that on my own PC. So it's not time to worry. At least, not yet.
If you're irritated with long development time and lack of promo materials - well, guilty as charged, you are free to use your rotten tomatoes. I will keep wo...

End of month report

This month went even harder than previous one because both personal and technical issues. I will not go into details about personal issues, I will focus on technical.
Some of you know that I use remote rig. Backstory is simple - that is my friend's rig that he used for mining bitcoins and stuff. After cryptocurrency fever went down he generously let me use it for rendering as an investment. That time is over, coronavirus pandemic hit everyone, my friend lost his job because of lockdown, so...

February Report

February wasn't very productive. After a week of working I decided to take couple of weeks to rest. clean my head and take care about relatives with seasonal flu. I felt better and after returning to work I decided to rework big part of ep3p2 script because it was bad even by my standards. 

I'm working on new version right now, trying different options because that part is crucial for upcoming events. Talking about release dates - March for sure, early March (by 15th) is planned bu...

January Report

I don't like developers that complain about personal problems therefore I would say only that January was pretty harsh. Apart from personal problems script for e3p2 was hard mostly because of motivational reasons.

When I decided to make story oriented adult VN I expected lower audience but not that much. And it's not about pledges (which is a great help, I appreciate every dollar) but rather about attention at all, including pirate sites. Of course, first question is "how do I fix it?...

Promo sets

I've decided to make small (10-15 frames) render sets for advertisement. Couple of frames will be posted for free on different sites, other will be available for 5$+ patrons.
Since I was asked for more futa content first set will be about Aria. You can ask in comments what shots you would like to see but I won't guarantee anything. Patrons' wishes will get more chances, of course.

End of month report

Right now I'm writing script for episode 3 part 2. It will be just like part 1 - one big route, some scenes will be different depending on previous choices and many new small choices. 2 lewd scenes is planned for sure, 1 with futa option, probably there wil be more.
This month I will have one more challenge. Last year I was working mostly part-time. Unfortunately, part-time job didn't work out that well, so I'm going back full time. Therefore the main challenge for December is to increase ...

Episode 3 development status

Episode 3 part 1 is on proofreading now.
I have couple of days off before starting to work on part 2.
Whole text was edited so current public version will be updated,
Also intro scene was rewritten and rerendered. It has a little bit more details now but it doesn't change story much for those who have already played two episodes.
I will continue to rerender some scenes from ep1 to improve visual component if I will have time for that.

Delay

I hate to break my estimates but I did it again.
The reason is dforce. I never used dforce assets before so I had hard times finding out that dforce can be huge pain in the ass. Mostly because
a) it doesn't support multiple frames pre-simulation so you have to render and simulate frame by frame manually
b) you can spend literally a day to find correct pose, morph and cloth tweaks to make asset look acceptable when it comes to getting naked

Q: Why do you use it then?
A: ...

End of month report

Good news; Episode 3 part 1 will come to proofreading team in couple of days so I expect release in first week of of November.
Bad news: I planned 200 renders per small update but I ended with 400 renders. I'm sure there is a way to reduce frame count without losing expression but I didn't find it. That is the reason of delay.
Good news again: proofread of episode 1 and 2 is over, I want to express my appreciation to KaladinStorm and Hannibal Barca for their priceless work on making s...

Episode 3 development status

  • current status - writing story for ep3 
  • episode 3 would be dedicated to Rika, Kazumi and Faith 
  • there is a chance it will be released in 2-3 parts, each one as short as possible to be somehow standalone part of the story 
  • I've decided to abandon animations because it is impossible to make decent ones with my current hardware and development pipeline
  • I've found proofreaders. There is a hope for a better writing as well as episode 1 and 2...

Episode 3 development plans

Episode 2 was a huge mistake in a question of terms. 1000 pictures and 15K words could be easily split in 3 episodes to make more regular updates and attract larger audience.
Therefore episode 3 is planned to have  no more than 5K words, 150-250 renders, smaller dialogue choices instead of big routes and release before the end of September.
Thank you for your support and good luck to me.
