Models/renders preview

Howdy,

Not a game release here, just a little preview. (Only very minor spoilers.) I'm refining the models and adding bust images for some of the side characters, so I thought I'd give a sneak peek.

The blonde is not Eva but Sophie, Marion's girlfriend. Sophie's a former fashion model.

The redhead/brunette lady is Bridget, sporting an updated look. I'm very happy with how her bust images came out. The one I include gives a hint about some of the content.

Finally, there...

Secret Dawn v0.3

After one and a half months, here's the new installment.

This update contains:

Loads and loads of improvements to basically everything, including e.g. the interface, maps, Link, and movement. If I were to make an exact changelog it would be hundreds of lines long. Also, the Crucible missions get underway. Now we get into a more open-world/time-based game mode, which I much prefer. You'll notice that at the end of the update when you can skip time and such (waiting by the s...

Update v0.2.1 (bugfixing patch)

Howdy,

Some people got a game crash related to video loading, and I noticed a few smaller bugs. Instead of waiting for the next update I figured I'll upload a patch that just aims to fix these things.

This patch doesn't come with more story content, so if you completed v0.2 without issues then there's not much here. There are some purely aesthetic changes and engine enhancements in the background (see change log), but these are work in progress.

If you had issues before, I'...

Release (v0.2)

Finally,

After too long, the first update, v.0.2, is a-go!

I won't bore you with details/excuses (working on the engine like updating the interaction system to fix concurrency issues, developing and implementing additional special mechanics (like the Link), making the main major maps, and clearing out as many bugs as I could find (...)), but there are good reasons why this update took so long. Still, I don't like it. My apologies. I hope to deliver the next one in about a month. I...

Progress

Heya,

Just a belated progress update. Turns out developing the first "proper" update of the game took some more time than anticipated, so sorry about the delay. This update gets out of the prologue mode and more into the main setting of the game. So, it's a pivotal moment. Alongside writing the story, I basically had to make most of the game's main maps, as well as design and produce art for the majority of the game's characters, and this all takes quite some time. With this in place,...

Progress update

Howdy.

As we're about halfway to the second update of SD I thought I'd post a progress report. I'm adding a picture and lots of info. If you're not interested in game dev and just want content, or if you don't want any hints whatsoever about upcoming content, then you might wanna skip this.

This second update marks the start participating in Crucible for our heroes Jon and Eva. The game will change from being entirely linear (and limited to Jon's perspective) to being a bit more o...

Public Release v0.1 (Prologue)

Hey there, lovely people! Here is the first release of Secret Dawn. Hope you enjoy.

This is my first release of the game (actually *any* game in this format), and some things are still unfamiliar to me. That being so, there might be some aspect of the deployment process that I've overlooked, or some pesky bug that's still lingering around, despite my best efforts. If so, please let me know! I'll fix it ASAP and improve my method for next time.

If you enjoyed the game and want more...

First look

Here are some details about the game, as well as some screenshots from the prologue. I'm not much of a salesman. I prefer to show not tell, but I tried my best to be informative. The prologue will be released soon, this week, so stay tuned.

Schedule

Hiya.

Game development progress is going well. If all things go as planned, should be ready with the first release in the beginning of February.

In the previous post I mentioned release frequency. The idea back then was for release at the start of each month (for people with membership), with the proviso that this might change. Now, taking into account that I'm a solo developer, I've come to reconsider this. For the sake of having proper "meat" to each update, it seems a better id...

Plan

Hey there, whoever reads this. Thought I'd give some general information and a plan.

First off, Secret Dawn is an adult (18+, NTR) RPG with open-world and mystery aspects. The first release is on its way. It will contain the prologue of the game, and it's currently about 25% finished, narrative-wise. When it's done it should be about an hour's worth of gameplay.

Some development details: This will be a one-person project; I (Haldane) have creative control over the programming, wri...

First post

Hi there. This will be the Patreon page of the Secret Dawn game project. Made in RPG Maker MZ and set in the near future, Secret Dawn will be narrative-focused, 18+ and NTR themed.
