Hello friends!
Today we'd like to say a couple of words about the main storylines in LS ver 0.95. We plan to touch on this topic in further messages, but for now let's talk about the main three storylines, there was the most amount of questions about, and the development of which you can definitely expect in LS 0.95.

Hello friends!
Sorry for the silence, there was a lot of work. Soon we'll tell you about some innovations related to LS 0.95, that we are working on now.
But meantime... it is a poll time, and not the usual poll! The fact is that we have alr...

Greetings, patreon comrades! How are you doing? We hope, great.
And we are busy with compiling and testing now.
Oh, that’s pretty exciting development period! So, it wouldn’t hurt to devote an unscheduled newsletter to it.
Imagine. You’ve drawn, written, translated and programmed everything in time! And you even have a co...

First of all, thanks to all of you who took part in the last poll! Surprisingly, the Wolves Leader got so few votes... Well, it sems we have to leave our plans to develop a Wolf Life Simulator in the wilderness for later :D. As expected Belle and the Beast were leaders of this poll.

Well.
The closer our combat demo is to completion, the more we have news suitable for our newsletter! And that’s great, because this news is good indeed.)
Though we tried to get a hold of ourselves and leave more ideas and groundwork for the main game, our old demo, besides visible and subtle combat changes, was considerably modern...

And... Today it's right time for the new poll! We'd like to ask you an unexpected question.
So, if you could play 'The Library Story' for another main character than Gaston, who would it be? The plot would be definitely changed in accordance with that another character and its background :D. Of course, we are not going...

Hello friends!
Any town can't be considered full-fledged, if there is not at least one sex shop in there! In any case, some habitants of the town in LS think so... And in ver 0.95 they will finally open this interesting and profitable place. As the saying goes: adult characters - adult toys!
This shop will be, obviously, different fr...

Hello friends!
We've already mentioned the Hunters Guild several times, which will finally appear in 'The Library Story' v. 0.95. Today we'd like to talk a bit about what you should expect from this wonderful institution :D

So, the Monday news is back!
And here it is. We had a discussion and decided to release the remaster of the combat demo in May (well, at least, before the end of May) by any means.
And we must release it because we want to test a lot of mechanics before using them in full-scaled Part One of the main game. Before it gets buried u...

Hello friends!
We understand that this is a kind of shocking news... But yes. 'The Library Story' has the main plot now. We mean the prologue, the chain of related events and a number of alternative endings. And maybe even an epilogue (or rather epilogues - for different endings :D). Of course, you can ask why you have not met this main pl...

Greetings, patreon comrades!
Today’s news is at the junction of the technical and art departments.
In each of the previously released game parts we improved the dialog sprites assembly system. In the first version of the demo Iris had the body layer, the face (emotions) layer and the hand holding a knife.

Sorry for delaying of LS 0.94b (with new interactive scene). It appeared it took more time to catch bugs than we expected earlier (besides, an extra load on the main job unexpectedly fell on me). But now it's all almost behind. Thus, the release will be at this weekend (yes, this time for sure).
Thanks for your underst...

Greetings, our patreon comrades!
Last time our technical department reported the status. And now it’s time for the art department to do the same.
As you probably know, we need two more enemies to test the new combat. The work on them is nearly done, and you’ll be able to see them in the game itself. And for now, we want to addres...
2019-02-20 09:49:58 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, our Patreon comrades!
We won’t go into secret details now, but the technical department has recently asked the art department to provide a couple of special enemies for the renewed IQ demo. Perhaps, that would be the biggest news in a context of default “work in progress” report. These enemies would help us to demonst...

Honestly, it was a completely aweful January (for a number of reasons we won't get into). But life goes on... and the work, of course, as well.

Hi friends!
Yes, this moment has finally come - we are announcing the release date for LS v.0.94! As you already know, this is a sort of an intermediate version (in fact, the second part of version 0.93) before the next "big" 0.95.
Briefly about the upcoming version:
