Hello everyone. Normally, I like to try and do the releases close to the weekend in case there are errors that need to be caught and fixed. There really aren't any errors through at least three full play-throughs, so...
The 0.8 Beta SE is now available for download on Discord. Look in the #releases channel. If you can't get on the Discord,...

I'm finally at a point I can reliably set out the changelog and release dates for the 0.8 ECA. While I'm just short of having 50% of it put together, my schedule and the remaining content should, theoretically, make it easier to assemble and compile. There's no major code/GUI/etc. being added to 0.8. It's pretty much all story.
And, boy, w...

The principal imaging and animating for 0.8 is complete. I may have to go back and do some fixes, but with the writing and the main graphics done, we're on the downhill run to completion.
With somewhere around 2600 images, I figure a good promo release of various images and characters needed to be done. These are the same ones shared on Di...

Warm day everyone.
The pausing for Patreon supporters will expire on February 9th, 2024, so wanted to let you all know I'm not going to pause the next month as I am anticipating a release to supporters before the end of February.
Once I get the last of the images completed, I'll be showing some more images, and perhaps animations, be...

If you've been following on Discord, you've seen some more previews as well as some ramblings from me about how developer-intense this update is, especially regarding the esbat/festival section of the update.
I think I'm pushing Koikatsu to its limits. Massive amounts of set building and characters makes it lag when ...

One of the most difficult parts of writing ECA is how much I want to tell everyone everything about the story, thus ruining it in the process. When I'm selecting images to share, I'm always cognizant of releasing images that might give too much away.
So here's some raw images from 0.8, hopefully not ruining anything. It's merely meant to w...
2024-01-16 03:39:11 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year, everyone. I hope it's been a good week-plus of 2024.
The entirety of 0.8 has been written and reviewed to make sure nothing was missed and continuity is good. Seeing as the scenes are set, it's time to describe a bit of how 0.8 is going to work.
First, regarding the end of 0.7 on Android, the plan is for players to re...
2024-01-09 12:20:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. I hope you are doing well.
Due to some real-life circumstances, development of the next ECA update is going a lot slower than planned -- much slower than I had ever wanted. Because of this, I am pausing payments for Patreon and other supporters.
When payments are paused, Patreon doesn't allow new people to sign up. I ...
2023-12-09 02:43:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
This part of development has been an extreme challenge for me to get completed. It's been a slog. Real life work and struggles with health have been nearly constant, and it has sapped a lot of my creativity. Every day I sit and write, the words come out so slowly and painfully. Have you ever had the strong desire to do someth...
2023-12-09 02:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was working on some general sandbox content for a 0.7.1 update, I began to do some writing on the side when I wasn't able to work on the graphics and, well, seems kind of like my ADHD took over and the graphics got put aside and writing is now on the menu.
So, for right now, I'm not sure which direction I'm going to go with 0.7.1. I'v...
2023-10-14 10:20:13 +0000 UTC View PostSo I think I've figured out how to do a transfer for Android users from Part 1 (up through 0.7) to Part 2 (everything 0.7.1 and beyond).
To cut down on the headaches that are probably going to start on the first release of this kind of "split" program, I'm making a 0.7.1 that is going to feature only sandbox content with established charac...
2023-09-23 13:52:14 +0000 UTC View PostI should have typed this out sooner, but several bumps in the road have slowed me down. Thank you everyone for your continued support, and a thank you and welcome to all the new supporters. It's heartwarming to know you enjoy the story and characters this much. You've my deepest gratitude.
The 0.7c SE/PE versions will be out this coming we...
2023-09-13 11:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe full beta version of 0.7 SE has been released now and the downloads are available in the usual place on Discord. I was able to get a compressed Android version put together, but it is not tested at all. It should run fine, but some graphical issues may be present because of no platform to test them. I do have some supporters that are graciou...

It's been a bit of a struggle to get everything put together, mainly due to being extremely busy at the "real work" job. I've never seen an August like this. June and July are usually the busiest times, but this year... it's different. But enough of that. You want the info.

It's the middle of summer (at least in the northern hemisphere), and it's really freaking hot. I hope you all are able to comfortably make it through. Stay cool. Heat exhaustion is no joke, and heat stroke is a devil-fucker.
July marks the one-year anniversary of Endara Chronicles. Technically released on the 10th last year, everything has...
2023-07-30 21:25:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe 0.6b SE is released on Discord for both Mega and MediaFire downloads. This should be the final 0.6 version. I'm hoping so, because I'm well into doing the images for 0.7.
While only a couple scenes have been completely imaged for 0.7, they are some of the larger scenes that needed custom/new images. There's going to be a lot of new med...
2023-07-18 19:29:19 +0000 UTC View PostWeekend again. That means a lot of work on ECA from dawn until I fall asleep. Before I get to doing that this morning, I'm wanting to give a little progress update.
The 0.6a version is being uploaded (and has been uploading all night) for release on the Discord. There will be a patch fix version available as well. If you can't use that acc...
2023-07-08 09:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostAfter going through every possible issue, it's come down to the size of the archive. Being over 2 GB, even just a little, means it won't install.
The quick-fix to this is to compress image resolution for the Android version of 0.6, mainly going back to the early images that, while small in relative size, have much more compression space. W...
2023-06-27 11:42:53 +0000 UTC View PostThere seems to be an issue with the 0.6 Android version. It doesn't install in any device that's been tested (phone, tablet, emulator), though it compiles and works perfectly fine with PC/Mac/Linux, as far as I know.
I'm working on figuring out where the error is. While I don't want to admit it, the most likely problem is somewhere in the ...
2023-06-26 10:31:26 +0000 UTC View PostI've gotten a couple of messages from patrons that Discord is not giving them the correct roles and access to the Patreon channels.
If this is happening to you, message me with your Discord name and I will manually fix the problem.
2023-06-25 10:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostDue to a variety of reasons, I'm enabling the subscription payment for Patreon.
You will be charged immediately upon becoming a supporter, and then charged on the same date for the next month.

Warm day!
The 0.6 SE version of ECA is available for download in the Patreon section of Discord, along with the 0.6 Patron's Player Guide. You all have my continued thanks for the support. It's humbling to me to know there are players willing to pay hard-earned money for...

Okay, so I got into this site called Inkarnate. Wow. What a lot of fun this thing is. I haven't even gotten into half of what it can do but after fiddling around with it, I decided... ECA could use a new map. So... here.
Add it to the changelog, I guess.
I'm not a hundred percent sure it's going to work the way I want it to, but it'l...
2023-06-14 20:04:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe assembly of 0.6 has begun, and a few scenes are already completed and installed. More will be done this weekend. Since the update is being put together now, I can release the official changelog of 0.6. There may be some slight changes, but this is what's in store:
* 30 character and thread scenes. Some do depend on the...
2023-06-09 14:47:33 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick note. There's a poll up in the Discord regarding Lerran and 0.6. Please read it and react/vote as soon as you are able. I've only got a little more left to do in 0.6 before I can start building, so the sooner you can get your voice in on it, the better.
Hope...

First off, welcome to those of you just pledging into the Endara Chronicles. Every bit of support gives me more motivation to finish this project. You've my thanks. Feel free to come by the Discord and chat with us.
Now, onto the 0.6 update.
The last scene was finished being rendered yesterday. By far the biggest scene in 0.6 is feat...
2023-05-30 14:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostI've received some reports from other Discord developers and server owners that some roles might be getting deleted by the Patreon bot without notification... like it's got a psychopathic mind of its own.
If you've lost a role on Discord, message me there or here and tell me so I can get that manually added.

Woot! It isn't the size, it's how you use it, right?
I hope you guys enjoy this update, even if it only has a couple setup scenes for the next update (0.6). There's a lot of sandbox content spread around several characters -- Iris, Yanwei, Erranda, Nadine, Sephone, and Reece all got some fluff to their content. There's about a half-dozen s...
2023-05-19 00:45:42 +0000 UTC View PostHola.
The aim is to get 0.5.1 out to patrons starting no later than May 19th. It may be out before then, however the simple plan is ten days from now. Yeah, it's soon, but that's because it's going so well. Images are done, as are the animations. I'm editing the animations now and will begin post-processing very soon. It also helps there's...
2023-05-09 15:25:29 +0000 UTC View Post0.5.1's main additions have been written and blocked, and some sandbox additions have been written though more might materialize before the end depending on how the rendering/animations go.
It's been a while since I've done any imaging of any kind. The main reason is that the laptop I've been using for development has run out of space. Whe...
