Still Deep in Winterhowl

Good evening,

The week flew by once again faster than I would have liked, and while I did get quite a bit done, there is still plenty left to do.

I spent most of the week editing images for the Winterhowl scene. Honestly, I did not expect this to take nearly as long as it did, but hair clipping with Santa hats turned out to be extrem...

A Review Of 2025

Good afternoon,

First of all, I want to wish you all a happy new year! Aside from yesterday, I have already been working diligently again for the rest of the week, which I will go into in a moment. I would also like to reflect on the past year and talk a little about the coming one.

I started the week by reworking the animations for ...

Release 0.6.1.6 (Winterhowl Part 1c)

Good afternoon,

The past few days turned into another intense sprint, but the update is now finished in time for Christmas. As announced, however, it is only part of the full scene, and the main scene you voted for isn't included yet. What I did add is Sabrina’s first visit to the MC's house, as well as the option to invite her into your...

Winterhowl Progress Update

Good afternoon,

It is getting dark outside once again, which means the week is almost over and it's time for another weekly update.

On Monday, I started by fixing remaining issues from the 0.6.1.5 update. I had already begun working on those last week, but since the fixes turned out to be more extensive than expected, and additional ...

0.6.1.5 Recap and Winterhowl Preparations

Good afternoon,
a long week has come to an end, and I am glad that I managed to complete most of what I had planned. Now it is time to look back on the past days and talk a bit about next week and Christmas.

As I already mentioned, I pulled an all-nighter last weekend in the hope of finishing the update in time… but on Sunday it becam...

Release 0.6.1.5

Good morning,
it is now past 1 AM here, but the update is finally in a releasable state!
The last few days have been a real struggle, as some of the bugs were incredibly stubborn. That makes it all the more relieving for me to finally be able to release this!

Time for a short changelog:

• 3 new maps

• New cha...

Last Steps To 0.6.1.5

Good afternoon,

This week has flown by once again, but unlike the previous one I actually managed to get a lot done and the update is now within reach.

I started the week by further adjusting the dialogues for the case where the player takes the alternative route to reach the Old Boar Inn. While doing so, I also rewrote part...

A Challenging Week, but Not a Lost One

Good afternoon,

I had imagined this week to go a bit differently, but unfortunately things don’t always go as planned and you just have to make the best of it.

I already mentioned on Discord earlier this week that I caught a cold, which quickly turned into a fever. On Wednesday I was basically out the entire day, and only today I...

Weekly Status Report

Good afternoon,

The week went by faster than I expected once again. I’m currently finishing up the last bits of work on the new scenes inside the MC’s house, but I wanted to take a short break to give you an update on my progress first.

The week started with creating background renders for the animations I made last week. After t...

One Step Closer To 0.6.1.5

Good evening,

It’s a bit later than usual today, I wanted to finish editing the last few images before writing this report. So, here’s a short summary of what I’ve been working on this week.

As I mentioned last Friday, I finally wanted to start working on the scene for Lyvia, Tia, and Bianca. After spending some time figuring o...

On The Road Again

Good afternoon,

It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to bring you up to date.

This week, as I mentioned last Friday, I finally started writing the quest. For that, I reworked parts of Kate’s questline to Kirlic into an alternative version. This now makes it possible to obtain Ophilia’s horse even if you haven’t yet reac...

Kirlic Layout And Initial Character Designs

Good evening,

It’s gotten a bit late today, but before I call it a day, I want to give you all a quick update on my progress with the Kirlic update.

I started the week by making final adjustments to the Kirlic center map. Most of what was missing were decorations and small details around the streets, which I’ve now added.
Here...

At The Gates

Good afternoon,

It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to talk about the past week and what I’ve managed to get done.

As I mentioned last Friday, most of my time this week went into working on the maps for Kirlic. Right now, I’m focusing on three main areas: the city entrance, the central district, and the inn. The entrance...

Content Poll 0.6.3.0

Good morning,

as announced on Friday I'm launching a new content poll today with the addition of the option the majority of you voted for over the weekend:

Frisha: It’s time for Frisha to finally get married. Depending on the route, that might not just be the MC’s intention but also Giron’s (he couldn't have E...

On The Way To Kirlic

Good afternoon,

There are a few topics I'd like to talk about today, starting with the finally finished bonus scene, then about my plans for the coming update and also about the next content poll.

Let’s start with how glad I am to finally have Katherin’s scene finished. I had originally hoped to be done by Tuesday evening, but fi...

A Short Review Of The Past Few Days

Good afternoon,

I'm currently still in the middle of working, but unlike last week I want to give you a short update about what's currently going on and how much longer it will take until the update is now finally done.

These last few days have been brutal. On Wednesday I had to first get a picture of what was still there and what wa...

A Midweek Report

Good morning,

This is the kind of post I really didn’t want to write. Not on Saturday, and even less so today. But I don’t want to keep you all in the dark any longer, so it’s time to talk about what happened.

As I mentioned on Discord last week, I took Friday off because of a holiday. Instead, I worked all day Saturday. Of cou...

It's One Of These Days Again...

Good evening,

The week is almost over again, and I figured I’d better write this report before it gets any later and my eyes give up on me.

As you might guess, I’m not super happy with how much I got done this week. The goal was to have the update ready by midweek, but here we are on Friday evening and I’m still not there yet.<...

Weekly Status Report

Good afternoon,

It’s Friday again, which means it’s time for another update on what I’ve managed to get done over the past week.

I started the week by wrapping up some image work I didn’t finish last Friday. Along the way, I also created two more animations for Katherin to help round out the campfire scene. During the week, s...

Weekly Status Report

Good afternoon,

The week is winding down again, and I wanted to give you a quick update on what I’ve been working on over the past few days.

As I mentioned last time, my main focus this week has been on animations and image work. I also need to circle back to something I wrote about last week regarding Katherin’s outfit. When it ...

Work On Katherin's Scene Has Begun

Good afternoon,

the week is once again almost over, and I’d like to give you a little summary of the past few days.

The work on version 0.6.1.0 really dragged on throughout the week. It’s been a long time (if ever) since I last incremented a version to e, which I uploaded this afternoon (you can find the details ...

Short Review Of 0.6.1.0 And Goals For Next Week

Good afternoon,

The week ended quicker than I thought it would. I got a few things done but some more are still unfinished and before I repeat my mistake of last week I've decided to write this report now.

First I want to say again that I'm glad that 0.6.1.0 is somewhat completed now. Somewhat, because there is still some last bits m...

Release 0.6.1.0e

It's finally time to release this... Last Friday, I thought I might be able to finish it before the end of the day, which is why I didn't write a weekly report. I just didn't want to write another "it takes longer to finish" report... Instead, I preferred to complete the update and then write with a view to upcoming content. Unfortunately, it di...

Weekly Status Report

Good afternoon,

Another busy week is coming to an end. I am still working on the final scenes for 0.6.1.0 and would like to give you a brief overview of what I have accomplished over the last few days.

Last Friday, I had already finished most of the work on the animations. This week, the focus was once again on editing the images I h...

Work On The Final Parts Of 0.6.1.0

Good afternoon,

I was relieved this week when the management system was finally ready for me to publish it together with Verena's scene. Of course, this update also came with minor and major bugs. I am currently working on another hotfix and hope to release it this afternoon.

In addition to the bug fixes, I have also started working ...

Release 0.6.0.8b

Good evening, Developing this update was very challenging for me. I can't remember the last time I struggled so much with mechanics as I did

Good evening,

Developing this update was very challenging for me. I can't remember the last time I struggled so much with mechanics as I did in this case.
Before I actually thought it would ...

A Little More Time...

Good afternoon,

it's one of those Friday afternoons again where I had to weigh up whether to write a report now or keep working until the update is done and then write a report afterwards.
In the end I've now decided to give you a short update and then continue with the work.

First of all, I want to apologise that update 0.6.0.8 ...

Progress on 0.6.1.0

Good afternoon,

Another week has passed, much faster than I would have liked. But before I continue working, I would like to briefly report on what I have accomplished.

The title image shows most of what I accomplished last week. The management system for Darkholt is almost finished; there are just a few minor issues that need to be ...

Revelation Of The Voyeur

Good afternoon,

It's Friday again, which means it's time for my weekly report.

I started the week with ongoing rendering and work on further animations, because, on the one hand, I didn't quite finish last Friday and, on the other hand, I wanted to add a few more transition scenes while thinking through Verena's scene. Firstly, there...

Weekly Status Report

Good afternoon,

It's Friday again and time to tell you about my work over the past week.

This week, my main focus was on Verena's scene. I had already given a little teaser about this before the 0.6.0.6 update, but at that point I had only worked on one of the animations for this scene. Over the last week, I have now been working on ...
