Relaxing bath.

During every training session, it’s important to take breaks and recover, even if our MC technically doesn’t need that. Still, who would say no to a relaxing bath?

I’m currently wrapping up the so-called training arc. Calling it an arc might be an exaggeration, since it’s not that long and doesn’t take up much of Chapter 12. But ...

I am a parachute jumper, we are waiting for air so we can jump again.

For those who’ve played Chapter 11.5, you know that the MC is now in the mandatory training arc.
But wait: wrong! Because unfortunately, I can’t have “Bill Conti – Gonna Fly Now” playing in the background (I’d rather not get in trouble 😅)., and without that song there is no real trainings arc right?

Hello

Hello

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the quiet stretch lately: I didn’t have much new to show, and I didn’t want to make a filler post that just says, “Still working on the game!” Don't want to spam you with boring stuff.

So, what’s been going on behind the scenes?

I’ve been incorporating your feedback and grammar fixe...

Hey everyone!

Chapter 11.5 is done and ready to play!

You might be wondering, why make a big announcement for just half a chapter?

Well… this “half” turned out so big it could almost count as a full one. :sweat_smile:

I actually planned to keep chapters shorter, but Patreon supporters voted overwhelmingly for the lo...

🌓 Update: Chapter 12, Half-Chapter, Some Rambling Thoughts and IMPORTANT VOTE

Hey everyone!

I wanted to bring you up to speed on the current situation.

Since the Dark Ones voted to wait for the half-chapter, I’ve been focusing on that without paying too much attention to the exact progress. Last week I was on vacation from my regular job, so I had more time to work on the game, and I actually made some reall...

Who Deserves the Spotlight (and the Heat)?

I was going through my planning notes and realized I still have room for one more NSFW scene in Chapter 13 (yep 13, not 12; Chapter 12 is already fully mapped out).

So I’d love to hear your thoughts: which character do you think should get the spotlight? Drop your suggestions in the comments! In a few da...

Results of the poll 1

The poll has officially closed, and the winner(by a landslide) is: Bridgette!
I’m pretty happy with that result, since it’ll be easy to bring her into the story in a natural way. I can’t promise she’ll show up as early as Chapter 13, but rest assured, she will definitely get her screentime.

New Render from Chapter 12

Release when?

Hello everyone,

As I mentioned earlier, it’s time for a vote!

Some of you have pointed out that my half-chapters often end up containing more than 50% of the new content, sometimes even up to 70%. Understandably, that can make the full chapter release feel less impactful.

I completely understand that. Here’...

Hello everyone,

First of all, I wasn’t particularly surprised by most of the names, except for Arbiter. (And yes, I know exactly why she was chosen ;D)

Sup everyone!

I’ve got another progress update for you. Things are moving along nicely. No picture this time since I don’t want to spoil anything. The “meeting” with Tessah takes quite a while, and to keep the pacing fresh, the perspective shifts. I won’t say who the new focus is, but I think this change is important to keep the ...

Tessah confrontation (spoilerpost.)

Hey everyone,

Time for another update! I just finished writing the Tessah confrontation. Don’t worry, it’s not a physical fight. It’s a clash of words, a battle of ideals.

Tessah is, in many ways, the opposite of the main character. She’s all about rules, order, and law, while the MC is the rule breaker. Naturally, when these...

Hello everyone,

Here’s another status update from me.

Since Emma and MC’s scene in the Bang Bus is finished, I’ve moved on to the next section. Story-wise, something important happens, but I don’t want to spoil too much just yet. What I can say is that MC returns to Nael’s place, only to discover that somet...

Hello everyone, time for a quick status update!

Now that the playable teaser is complete, things have become a little easier on my end. Action and combat scenes are still tricky and time-consuming to create, but I truly believe the effort has been worth it.

That said, the start of Chapter 12 currently feels too much like a climax, wh...

Just wanted to give you another quick status update.

Quick Update

I’ve received and implemented the new animations, and Chapter 11 is currently with my proofreader. I asked them to prioritize speed over thoroughness this time, so I’m aiming to release Chapter 11 for you tomorrow evening (Friday, 06.06.2025). If there are any delays, it should be out by Saturday at the latest.
