V0.13 Quick Progress Report

Guys, I'm sorry. This was meant to be posted last Friday, but I managed to mess it up somehow and have only just found out that it didn't get posted. [Thanks, Azk!]


Hi, guys.

Just a quick update to let you know that I have now begun working on v0.13 after taking a break.

I'm currently writing the story and will move on to storyboarding soon. I'll start posting the regular development updates and preview images next week.

Thank you for your support,
DB

Plans and One More Teaser

Hi, guys.

So, I've lost my way a little over the last couple of updates and I need to go back and fix some things I'm not happy with.

However, I don't want to delay v0.13 further by doing it now, so I will create v0.13 first and then do it afterwards.

I'll let you know what work I intend to do and how long I think it will take nearer the time. Once it's complete, I'll release an updated version and then start work on v0.14.

As you can tell from the teasers, I have alre...

V0.12.1 Released for All Patrons

This updated version fixes numerous typos, a missing image, and a bug.

If you were on Charlotte's path, and not also on Lucy's path, then the bug meant you missed out on some different dialogue during these scenes:

- when speaking to Steve
- when MC tickles Emma
- when Kaylah comes to the house and talks to Charlotte
- when Charlotte and Emma talk in bed
- when MC calls Charlotte from the college

Sorry about that.

Update

Hi, guys.

Just wanted to thank people for the comments and messages and apologize for not being able to answer them all individually.

Also, I wanted to reassure everyone that I am not going to abandon Hillside. Charlotte needs a happy ending, and I can't leave her without one. I just need to take a break before starting work on v0.13.

I'll let you know what my plans are in more detail as soon as I've decided what I'm going to do.


Thanks,
DB

V0.12 Uploading...

Okay, guys. I'm uploading now but it's not in a state I'm happy with. I'm sorry.

For various reasons I've been struggling with developing Hillside for a long time, but now I'm feeling completely burnt out and have lost  all enthusiasm for it. 

I'm pausing Patreon billing again for November and am going to take a month off developing Hillside to try and sort things out and rediscover that passion I had when I started.

Current upload speed is terrible and it is going...

V0.12 Release News

Hi, guys.

Just a quick update to let you know that I'm still working to get the update ready. I'm sorry that I'm running late as usual.

I will post an update when I start uploading it, but that's likely hours away yet.

V0.12 Progress Update 14/10/22

Hi, guys.

Sorry I haven't posted anything this week and have been quiet on Discord. 

Nothing has changed since last week's update, so it will be at least another week before v0.12 is finished. That means it won't be ready for release next weekend, but it should be ready sometime the following week.

Thanks,
DB

V0.12 Progress Update 08/10/22

Hi, guys.

Unfortunately, things haven't gone well this week. I've discovered a few problems that I need to fix. Then it will be a process of refinement, polishing the dialogue and adding in more images where I think they are needed. I expect it will take at least another two weeks to get it finished.

I don't have a final image count yet, but this release will be about the same size as the last one.

Thanks,
DB

V0.12 Progress Update 16/09/22


Hi, guys.

I had hoped v0.12 would be finished before the end of the month, but that's not going to happen now.

I'm not happy that it's taking me this long as I wanted to go back to smaller more frequent updates, so I'm going to pause my Patreon for next month while I finish it.


Thanks,
DB
