Hi everyone!
I’m currently in country that wouldn’t let me access my patreon page due to the ’adult’ flag I’m guessing but I ended up getting a vpn just to login and create this post.
Im working on the script and code first this time as I mentioned in the last post. It feels weird in a way because I usually do renders...

I just wanted to update all of you on what's going on right now just to keep you in the loop. As I've said in previous posts, my sister just got married so I've been super busy with that. Weddings here are a big affair and usually have more than one event. This one has about 4. There's just one more to go which is on th...

Hey everyone,
Episode 4 is now complete and live. There are around 800 new renders bringing our total render count to 1200+, our biggest yet and 15-16 animations I hope you like the update. If you find any bugs, please share them on my discord server under the bug report section. I did a lot of bug testing with almost no sleep ...
2023-01-10 17:56:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, Gdrive links to Windows and Mac versions of the update will be out today. Just wanted to let you all know. Please let me know if Gdrive is slow for some of you so I can look at alternate hosts.

Hi everyone,
If you read my last post, you know that I decided to add more renders and animations to the episode. Render count is currently at ~800 (was 500) with 8 additional animations instead of 3. I found a neat little trick that I could use to work with animations that cuts down my time by a lot. I still want to add more but I'll leav...

Hey everyone,
I hope all of you have a great year ahead. Congratulations to all of us for making it through 2022. For those who had a rough year, let's hope 2023 is kinder.
I decided to add 2 more scenes to the update, bringing the render count to 750 from my original 500 with 3 more animations. I'm sorry about the delay but on the b...

Hey everyone!
For those of you who celebrate, I hope you're all having a good Christmas. For those who don't, I hope you're having a good day regardless.
I just got back from a family lunch and I've been up for 23 hours now. My software is crashing a lot so I can't leave batch renders overnight and have to monitor the ren...

Hey everyone!
Development has been pretty good so far and we're currently at 300 renders. I want at least another 300 to bring the total to around 600 or more if there's enough time. If we hit 600 and I feel like a particular new scene HAS TO BE part of this update, I'll consider releasing maybe a day or two later IF that happens. But it s...

Hey everyone!
Work has been on schedule so far and I'm happy to tell you that this has been a stress free update so far. We're currently at 140 renders. I was hoping for a count closer to 200 but it's no problem, I'll catch up.
The tentative release date is still looking good. If all goes well the way it's going right now, we'l...
2022-12-06 21:43:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I started with renders early this time and we're at 70 complete renders as of right now. Out of the five scenes that were outlined in the last weekly update, one scene is complete (first 60 renders). I'm currently working on the renders for the second scene. Once I'm done with all five scenes, I'll either get done with their ...

Fun fact - I got better and then got sick again haha. But it's not as bad as it was. It's just a lot of sneezing and a cold. Took a covid test and I don't have it so I'm good. There's no weakness either. It's just an annoying cold that should go away soon.
I've been writing an outline for the first few scenes and the co...

Hey everyone,
We're three days away from the update and I hope you like the episode. Well, half episode*. I think the render count should be at ~500. The second half should have more since I want certain events to take place only in the second half. I didn't want to split up certain events and it just made sense for them to be in the same ...

I hope you're all doing great. A few of you have reached out and asked me if I'm doing okay because you haven't heard from me for a while. Without turning this page into my personal diary, let's just say this month has been a lot to handle. I promise you this VN is not getting abandoned. I'll see it through even if ou...

Hey everyone!
I realized I haven't shared a preview for a while. This one is from a scene where you'll come across a few characters designed by a fellow patron. He was my first patron and it's just something I've wanted to try before committing to the idea. When I say 'designed', I mean he gave me a very well written description of the cha...

First of all, Welcome to the community, new patrons! Thank you for your support.
It's 4:30 am here and I just got done with ~60 renders for today so this post may not be very articulate. Slightly off topic but there's this damn bird that starts chirping way too early and I can hear it right now as I type.
This is a...

Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I've been pretty busy lately because of my sister's engagement. Random fact : I used to work as an event manager before I decided to learn some basic code (which led me to Renpy games) so I'm sort of helping with the planning process. I won't be online as much for the next three days as the...

I got paid by Steam today and before I get into the development progress, I'd like to thank all of you again for showing so much support. It means a lot that I can continue doing this full time and not worry about working a 9-5 job. For some reason, I could never stick to those.

I'm really sorry for doing this to you but it turns out there was a bug that made the game skip a scene with Talitha.
This scene shows up soon after the Amaris scene.
Currently, you only get a black screen with text about your night with Talitha.
The fix shows you a scene of Talitha coming over.

I've been so engrossed in writing the script for the next episode that I didn't even realize we hit 100 patrons. I remember getting excited when I saw my first patron and that doesn't even feel like it was too long ago. So hitting 100 is a great feeling.
