October Halloween Customs - Augment

Okay, for Halloween we will be doing something voted by you guys that fits the theme :P

I think they should all be self explanatory :)

I will start them first thing in the morning and see how far we get before it gets late.

Dev Update #66

Okay, the good news is things are getting much closer and will be in beta testers hands very shortly. The Bad news, I am not sure if I will make it by end of month. I am trying, but it is too close to call.

So, what I will do is if it does come to that, any patreon as of this month at the $5 tier and up will be supplied a link via message on patreon as soon as it does go live for that tier regardless if you are still a patreon or not. Hopefully that works for anyone expecting it this mo...

Dev Update #65

Holy crap what a week! So, I pushed myself this entire week and I have hit a point where I am feeling good at the progress. Only a couple scenes left to write up and then off to proof! So, that should go there in just a few days. 

While that is going on, I will finish up the last renders and animations then send it off for beta testing next weekend!

Also I totally forgot about the customs last week! I think though, I will go with a Halloween theme and will probably save it ti...

Dev Update #64

Well, I think crunch time is now upon us :P

This week I was focused on writing primarily with just adding a few new pick up shots, animations, and a couple animation fixes, so not that much has changed on that front.

I suspect it will be around 1000 renders and a bit over 60 animations when is all said and done. I still have a good deal on the writing side to do but hopefully I can get it ready for proof around next weekend then do the rest of the heavy lifting on the render and a...

Dev Update #63

Okay more and more keeps getting done. Though this week I was held up by more admin type stuff which had to be addressed along with this scene being a bit insane as stated last week but it is going lol.

So right now at 931 renders, I don't expect that many more. There are also 56 animations rendered out, one currently running, and there will be a few more ones to do.

Next week will be very much focused on writing and putting things together. 

My apologies that this one ...

Dev Update #62

It is starting to hit that point where things are coming together! Again a good week, I went back and actually re-rendered one small scene since I was not happy with it but past that the rest is looking good.

So with the removal of the redone scene there are currently 881 renders, then along with that 52 animations with one currently running and another three created and just waiting for a window to be rendered out. Also wrote out three full scenes this week with more on the way.

September Customs!

Here are this months customs! Did up six of these. Was just enjoying them to much to stop short :P

Hopefully a few of these make it into your guys wallpapers :)

Dev Update #61

And another good week. Great to be back in full swing! I'll keep this one short since I want to start customs soon :P

Sitting at 812 renders, and 48 animations with another 5 on the docket waiting to be rendered off. More writing done consistently all week as well.

As I said above I will be starting the custom renders very shortly. Probably do a decent sized set, so expect those most likely Monday.

I am not sure what else to say :P Oh I know!

As always stay awesome! 2020-09-19 16:53:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Dev Update #60

Okay, posting this just after a fire alarm, lol. Figured like a good break point :P

This was a very good week, a lot done on all fronts. Really nice to finally have all that move stuff finally behind me. Now sitting at 730 renders 44 animations with another 4 also setup but still need to be rendered. I also did hours of post work today that I had neglected for the past while, so nice to get that out of the way. Also, back in the full swing on the writing front as well.

So yes, ver...

Dev Update #59

Okay so, game wise this is certainly not the best update, but I did what i could since last time. First, move is done and everything went well. System is back up and running as of Thursday.

Before I left I tried to get some animation fixes in since I could take the time to do that while packing and such, so I fixed four different animations.

There was a few days where I had no internet so in that time I hammered out a number of scenes as well on the writing front.

So, now fo...

August Custom Renders

Here we go! These are good :) I decided to add a couple extra's at the end. I think many will be very happy with that.

I have made black and white versions as well which are included in the zip below. The zip has all the images in 4k resolution.

Enjoy guys!

Dev Update #58

Another week! I was worried that I didn't get enough done this week, but looking back it wasn't so bad. I had taken one day to just mess around and learn some things. Normally I reserve that time when I do custom renders but the learning itch just hit me :P

Regardless, I managed to get a decent chunk of writing done. As for renders, it's sitting at 593 and 36 rendered out animations with a couple still on the docket ready to get rendered out.

Also, the poll for this months custom ...

Dev Update #57

Alright, back in the thick of things! Steam release certainly ate up some time, certainly added a ton of stress, but at the end of the day I am really happy with how all things turned out.

I did take a few days off right after the release because I basically just crashed in relief.

Now, let's give some details we were are at now. Sitting at 520 renders, along with 32 animations as well as about 8 on deck, ready to roll. I normally would be pumping those out over night, but the hea...

City of Broken Dreamers Official Guide

Here is the guide for you guys. It was a good deal of work but I am really happy with it. I hope it helps you out. It is set for the absolute newest version so there may be a few small differences in your current build.

It is simply a pdf so just open it up and enjoy. It is also indexed so if you use something like chrome you will see all the bookmark...

3 Years and Steam!

It is hard to believe it has been three years. Time just flies, but today is the day I launched the first episode of DA three years back.

I want to take this moment to thank everyone who has supported me. It is hard to describe my appreciation for all your help and support. All the way back in the early days of DA to now, it is amazing having you guys on this wild ride.

And it was honestly not on purpose that City of Broken Dreamers launched on steam today, but hey, I'll take it l...

Dev Update #56

So Steam release is fast approaching, a lot of work was done on that side this week. This includes adding items for the guide as well as a ton of balance changes which makes the game play out much more smoothly and naturally. Still doing testing there but it will be available here soon.

I did not do much on the animation front this week since we had a pretty crazy heat wave and sleeping next to my render machine while it renders overnight is not a happy time when it is this hot lol. Sti...

July Custom Renders of Chandra

I know you guys have been waiting for these :P Tried to do some crazy god rays again in one of these and worked out really well. Hopefully these make some good wallpaper material for you guys :)

Enjoy

Dev Update #55

Again a busy week, though I did have a ton of personal stuff I also had to take care of. Don't worry, just the usual things you have to do in life. 

Still, managed to get a good amount done. Sitting at 332 renders, along with 28 animations with 9 more on on deck waiting to be rendered out. Another thing I have been doing is making a full blown walkthrough. Doing it has let me see some balance issues I never saw before. It is going to take a bit to complete because I want it to be r...

The other night I decided to just take a break from the current scene I have been working on to do something up that was just a bit awkward for poor Henry.

Enjoy guys :P

Book One Download

Hey guys, this is the complete version for Book One. From this point on updates will be available as patches for $1 and $5 so make sure you keep this copy. 

If you already have 0.7 you should be fine, there are only minor adjustments to this one. Typo fixes, some balance changes, and a few minor bug fixes. In August I will have to lock this behind the Ghost tier as per Steams guidelines.

I have also included a patch file. To patch 0.6 to this, simply extract the files from th...

Dev Update #54

Busy week, but a good one. The Steam stuff is finally setup and the game as been approved by their team. 

Some really nice artwork was done by a friend of mine for the Steam promotional material. Above is one of his creations. He felt Chandra represented the world the best, so he focused on her for the promo material. He also did cool icons for all the achievements which just adds to the overall polish. I am planning release on August 7th.

So, because of that...

Dev Update #53

Now, this was a productive week!

So to start, we are now sitting at 190 renders. That is relatively on par with what I have been doing, but on the animation front I went a tad crazy. 15 are now done. One of those was also a replacement for one I was not happy with, so I completely redid it from scratch. Then on top of that I have 7 others created and setup to go, just need the cycles to actually render them.

I also added a bit more polish to the game by adding a scene replay check...
