Hey Everyone, Long Time No See! + Update Schedule Post!!
I am unsure of where to even start with this post... but I think an apology is in order. I want to extend my utmost sincere apology for disappearing these past 2 years. There is a reason for it and in retrospect, I wished I have told you. I wished I was more honest and as the saying goes, there is no better time than now to do it.
Only a few of the first subs know the real story behind this game but for those who do not know, Demon Boy is loosely based on my life experiences. Yes, even including "Nicole" my mother and yes, she is that attractive. But more importantly, I want to tell you about the "demon" in demonboy.
Since I was 12, I was diagnosed with "stulti syndrome" and I made this game to help me cope with my own trauma and mental health issues. The "demon" in this game is who I see from time to time when I sleep. However instead of a sexy succumbus demon, its a terrifying monster shaped as a dark figure with a black hat, long trench coat, and white eyes with sharp white teeth. This monster would visit me at least once a month. And when it comes, this "thing" terrifies me so much that it paralyzes my body while I am half awake and half asleep. The following days I would get episodes of paranoia and series of intense panic attacks.
This issue along with medicines I have been taking resulted in really bad side effects.... And since 2 years ago, it has gotten to the point where I can't even find the energy to get out of bed. I know that I should have written this and explain myself to all you back then. But I was so ashamed and scared of letting everyone down who has given me so much love and support these past few years.
Initially, my thought process was to get better first rather than give excuses. Which brings me to some good news! I am happy to report I am getting better. Since 6 months ago or so, I have gotten a new mental health counselor along with new medicine prescriptions to help me manage my problems. Thanks to that, I have gotten better bit by bit and day by day. I even started to do a new project called "The Synthetic" and under a new name "Carbon". Some of you have already figured out it was me so Kudos to those that did. "The Synthetic" was just a warm up exercise to get me back into the developing game mindset. I would like to continue on that project but I wanted to complete this game, "Demon boy" first.
Which brings me to the big "plan" for this game. I want to do a rewrite of the entire game and remove certain toxic parts that I added before to cope with my mental health. My counselor said the first step to recovery is to remove everything toxic in my life. So today I am announcing that I will be removing all "NTR/Sharing" content from my game and focus my attention to the relationship of the MC to other characters especially Nicole. The upcoming update should be ready mid of next month and for this update only, it will be available for all tiers. Higher tiers will be given something "extra" to compensate.
In the mean time, here are some preview renders of the upcoming update. I will start doing weekly updates again so see you guys next week!
Thank you so much for your understanding! Please message me on here or Discord if you have any questions!
Sorry for fooling some of you. I tried to make it as unrealistic as possible without being to obvious. so hopefully I didnt get your hopes up too much.
Also fun fact “stulti” under “stulti syndrome” is Latin for “fools”. April in Latin is April so it would have been to obvious to add that.
