Hey there.

So, the good news, i get the new PC.
But the bad news - the update will probably be postponed for technical reasons (the new PC already had more than 10 BSODs and I'm still solving this problem) and because I came up with more scenes than I had planned in the first place, in the course of development.

And also I'm just slow in creating scenes because of my perfectionism and A LOT of work in ZBrush. Maybe one day I will do a series of articles "How I create render / scene / new character" so people can understand how much time it really takes.
But I can't blame anyone, more than year ago, I also thought it would be easier than it really is.

And in order not to upset myself, I'm gonna take extra time to make an update the way I want it to be.
And not to upset you too much, I will pause the patreon next month.

My first delay, yaaay! Hope not the last one, hah?
Just kidding, sorry. =)
I realize how lucky I am to have all of you and your support.
But also I also realize how much work, effort and time I have invested at this moment.
And I do not want to ruin either one or the other.

I know that some people think developers are like, "Hmm, how do I get all the fans angry, lose trust and part of the support and whole income for next month? Oh, I know the solution, the delay!" But that's not how it works. =) I just want to make the update better than it is now. It will never be perfect, but...
Yes, a lot of people are waiting for an update, and this is also part of the problem.
I'm just as human as you are and I'm afraid of overestimating expectations.

I've seen cases where one update could make a part of the audience angry and distract, and I'm afraid it will happen to me. I'm trying to make the episode more intense, more extensive, and with more "content".
I know that somebody will write after update release that "not enough, and this I've been waiting for four months, meh, too short", but at least I'll know I've done everything I can.
So I'd rather lose part of my audience now than most or all of the time after a bad update.

Perhaps I should have done everything according to the original plan 2/3 in October and 3/3 in December, and not to try to chase the speed of updates, but... Next time i'll be smarter.

And the last thought, delay doesn't mean, "Well, now I'll create MEGA SUPER update!!11", nope, it's just "I'm gonna make it what it's supposed to be, in the way I see it."
Don't overstate your expectations.

I'm afraid to say new dates, so the update will be released when it's ready.
By the way, don't forget, that you can tell me how upset you are, personally at the

It would be swell if I didn't had to play the memory minigames every time I start a new run.
I mean the game clearly has replayability planned but it's pretty hard to convince myself to play those all over again instead of simply distracting myself with the next porn game I've downloaded.

"Mini-games
-I'm thinking about not making players play them, when you're playing the game for the second and subsequent times. " ;)
And don't make them so hard. No.5 was impossible for me and I had to find a cheat mod. Using a touchpad once eased it up somewhat but I still found the puzzles hard to complete in the time allocated. We're not all PS4 or Steam savvy patrons.

Try asking for help if BSODs keep "popping up" or if you have other problems and maybe we can help. Faulty hardware or windows errors, crashes etc. are common and unexpected. In your case, maybe it's the RAM or your hard drives/ssd ... check your Windows Event Log and see what it says.;)

Yeah, it's your first project, yeah people expect you to make it big 'cause the see u got talent and the project looks damn promising but negativity doesn't fix shit. Fans will understand. Plus, the game it's worth the wait ! (y)

When I played this without mods or Incest patch I never understood the story, only with the IP did things make sense. Damn I didn't realize I would be boarding the feels train. I hope the story will be properly constructed as the renders.

BigBrotherrrr, your option is more correct, although to be honest, it is also not perfect. On the other hand, all the renderings belong to the author, and it is not correct to make their changes without receiving consent.:)

The gallery mechanics is infuriating sometimes, I also hope the dev change the typing mini-games my types speed is not that good or maybe slightly increase the time.

WOW! That's all I can say so far - WOW!

What a marvelously beautiful game. I think the renders might be the best 3D artwork I have ever seen. The details are spectacular, and every character looks like they have been created with the utmost of delicacy and care.

I think the game mechanics are wonderful. Including the phone and sketchbook really keeps you interested and makes the game universe become more alive. Also, the story feels unique, with a deep background and history. It feels like it has a dark undertone sometimes, but that is exactly what made it stand out for me.

ttll definitely just earned himself another Patron. I want to do everything I can to encourage the development of this game, and I hope that this can become the true masterpiece of a game that it looks like it could be!
