Anyone know how to get through the Catacomb entrance puzzle?

It has something to do with the torches... personally I just fumbled through it with no idea where to go and got out eventually.

Someone needs to have access to it and willing to share it here before it's going to be hosted here. If no one does that, then the thread cannot be updated. There hasn't been any talk about something like DRM, at least not that I can remember, so I don't think that's the case for this game.

That new Edovex animation looks great. Definitely an improvement on the old one. Though one thing is bugging me and I want to put it out there because I don't know whether my thinking is right. My issue is that the body movement seems to be the inverse of what it should be to me. The way I see it, her body should be recoiling up with each thrust, right when the thrust is at its deepest. And the way the animation goes right now is that her body is at its lowest when the thrust is at its deepest.
Again, the animation is great and I like it still. And maybe the intended motion is just not clicking for me and it's her voluntarily moving her body up and down instead or something.


This honestly baffles me. If I understand this correctly, you got a video call with a doctor and in that call you got diagnosed already? That's crazy. Wasn't that your first appointment with the doctor as well, or am I misremembering? I've gone through a few diagnoses in the past myself, and all of them have been quite long processes. Not something you can do in a video call that's, I assume, about an hour or two long, tops.
Telehealth seems to be an American thing, and I'm not American, so perhaps mental healthcare is totally different over there or something.
But yeah, good thing you got diagnosed. Congratulations, I guess.


Just a word of warning. Medication can certainly help, but you need to give it time. And most likely you'll feel worse before the effects of the meds will kick in. And that will likely take about two months. Your doctor(s) should tell you the same thing, but I thought I'd warn in advance.

Gosh. I'm really getting invested in the mental health and treatment of a total stranger on the internet that's making fap material. Kinda crazy to think about. But please do continue updating us and definitely your Patreon supporters. If I were in a better place financially, I'd definitely pledge myself.

Fair point on the Edovex animation, I can't really say what the intention was because the old animation was done yeeeears ago and Orex updated that, rather than reanimating it from scratch. Your take on it being a voluntary movement makes sense, but you could also take it as the edovex tugging her upper body down in time with his thrust, to get deeper penetration - I think that was my general intention with it back in the day.

As far as the mental health stuff goes, you're correct that it was my first meeting with that doctor, though I did meet with another doctor who also had me go over some paperwork regarding it. I guess it probably just boils down to the symptoms being that obvious? They had me fill out a form for each of the things I was diagnosed for, ranking common symptoms for how often I have them, and I nearly maxed out every question lol. As far as the ADD goes, it probably helps that I was diagnosed with it as a child even though I don't have the paperwork for that anymore, and apparently anxiety/depression are both VERY common in people with ADD. It coooould also have something to do with the fact that I don't have insurance, so it would cost me a LOT of money if they dragged their feet on a diagnosis, and the people I've seen seem to genuinely care about what they do and they people they see compared to some of the other doctors I've met in the past.

For the medication, no worries, I know it'll take a while to really change things. When I said "in the short term", I meant shorter than the therapy, which I assume will be a more long-term thing. I guess I don't really know what to expect with therapy though, so maybe I'm wrong there. Either way, I'm not expecting it to be an overnight happy pill or anything. I do know that some ADD medication is instant though, so depending on what they prescribe me for that, I might at least be able to get a little bit of improvement right away, we'll just have to see what kind of pill they want me on for that.

Lastly, I don't think it's weird for people to be invested, honestly. I may be a total stranger in reality, but I don't think the type of content I'm making really matters; I've been around making this thing for a long while now, so people are already invested in the game itself, and the game doesn't exist without me. Couple that with me generally trying to be pretty open about things, and yeah, it makes sense. If anything, I'm glad to know people care, it really does help

There is no DRM whatsoever in Crisis Point, and I won't ever be implementing it. I don't like piracy, but I loathe DRM (and impacting legitimate customers in any way) far more. If I had to take a guess, it's probably that nobody wants to pirate out the game out when the creator is openly dealing with severe depression lol

Your take on it being a voluntary movement makes sense, but you could also take it as the edovex tugging her upper body down in time with his thrust, to get deeper penetration

That idea works for me. Especially with the reworked animation compared to the old one.

As far as the ADD goes, it probably helps that I was diagnosed with it as a child even though I don't have the paperwork for that anymore, and apparently anxiety/depression are both VERY common in people with ADD.

Certainly, that helps. Or rather, I think it's a requirement for the diagnosis. I got quite a few of the symptoms of ADD, but since it's not present in my childhood I wasn't diagnosed with it. And as someone with ASD, I'm all too familiar with co-morbid mental illnesses. Anxiety and depression are also very common among people with ASD.

I guess I don't really know what to expect with therapy though, so maybe I'm wrong there.

It may be a good idea to get yourself familiar with what you could expect from therapy and what therapists may expect from you during it. Not to put more stress on you, but that could make the therapy more effective if you do. No two therapists are the same, though, so also keep that in mind. And in the end the therapy can only actually be effective if you put the work into it.

Lastly, I don't think it's weird for people to be invested, honestly. I may be a total stranger in reality, but I don't think the type of content I'm making really matters

In my mind the type of content you're making is significant. I guess mostly because there's still a stigma around pornography, and hentai games are even less talked about or mainstream than the "regular" porn everyone knows. I mean, I've never in real life talked about this side of the internet before.
But it's good that you think it's not weird. It shouldn't be weird.

Hey everyone. Gonna be another simple update this week (how many times have I said that by now), but things are proceeding as smoothly as we could hope right now, all things considered.

I got about the same amount of writing done this week as last week, so no major improvements on that front, but no backtracking either, so I'm happy with that. I'm nearly done with all of the scripts I wanted for v0.45, so I should be able to send them off to our VAs next week; I'm quickly running out of work I can do outside of the game engine, so fingers crossed I'll be able to get myself back to implementing stuff again soon.

I have my doctor's appointment this coming week where we'll be talking about medication (and presumably getting me on a prescription), so I'll finally be starting the road to improvement. It's not going to fix things right away, but it feels good to know that something is happening just around the corner. It doesn't feel like much has happened yet, since it's just been a few appointments and no actual therapy or medication yet, but the real starting point is just ahead and I have high hopes for the future.

Aside from me and my work, Orexius is nearly done with all of the Edovex's H-scenes; all of the new BE H-scenes have been done, and he updated the non-BE scene last week as well, which left him with the brand new Duo and Trio scenes this week. The Duo scene is done, and the Trio scene is well underway; after he's done with this, the Edovex's H-scene count will have risen from 1 scene to 6! Big day to be an Edovex fan After that, we have some gameplay QoL animations planned that I'm excited to talk about soon. They should make movement in CPE feel even smoother than before.

Red is also making great progress on the Azulisk CG. We had some issues with figuring parts of it out at first, but the rough edges have been smoothed over, and since v0.45 is delayed for an indeterminate amount of time (AKA until I get myself together), it should definitely be done in time. I'm really happy with the way it's turning out, and I hope you guys will like it too!


Alright, that's about all I have for this week. Sorry there's nothing to show; the Azulisk scene isn't quite ready for a preview yet, and I don't want to post yet another Edovex preview when we've already showed, what, 3 of them this update cycle? I have high hopes that I'll be able to get myself back to working in-engine soon, though, so the update can at least get closer to being completed.

Since this month is about to come to a close, and with it the "normal" deadline for v0.45 will be passing without an update coming out, I do want to remind everyone pledged that if you feel the need to stop pledging at any point, you WILL still get the next update once it releases! I always send the update out to anyone who pledged $10 USD at least once during the update's development, even if they're no longer pledged, so please don't feel like you have an obligation to stay so you can get your rewards, if you aren't comfortable with the speed of development right now! At the end of the day you guys are paying me to develop a game, and I harbor no ill will towards anyone who wishes to unpledge while I figure my mental health out and get things back on track.

That being said, to anyone who does stay pledged, you have my eternal gratitude - it's still blowing my mind that after all these years of dealing with depression, anxiety, impostor syndrome, self-doubt, and generally awful mental health, I can finally afford not only the money - but also the time - to see someone about it and try to figure myself out. It means more to me than I can possibly express that you guys have given me this chance, and I can't promise that I'll be able to fix things quickly, but I can promise I won't waste this chance; even if it takes some time, I'm gonna get through this and come out stronger than ever.

Hey everybody. Continuing the trend of short weekly updates, we have a short weekly update for you today.

To get it out of the way now, I didn't really get any work done this week. I spent a good amount of the week anxious as hell about my appointment, which is pretty much how all of the appointments have gone so far, and it makes it hard to get even regular around-the-house stuff done since my stomach is busy being figuratively twisted into a knot. I've always had anxiety problems with upcoming events, but I think COVID and the complete at-home isolation that came with it made it even worse, so that's fun. I'm so sorry I continuously have very little to deliver, as far as game news goes, but I'm trying my best to not feel too bad for it; you've all been so incredibly understanding and supportive that it's honestly helping me not feel like a complete piece of shit every waking moment like I usually do when updates are bad, so right now I'm just going to try and do what you've all been telling me to do, and focus on my mental health and getting better.

The good news on that front is that the appointment happened a few days ago, and I am now officially on an antidepressant. The medication they prescribed me is primarily an antidepressant, but it's often used to treat all 3 of my major mental health issues (depression, anxiety, ADD), so the doctor wanted to start here in the hopes that one medication + therapy would be enough and that I wouldn't need to worry about taking a veritable cocktail of pills every morning. I started taking it a few days ago, so obviously no effects yet, but the medication is known to start causing changes for some people in as little as a week, with on average 1.5-2 months for the full effects. No way to know yet if I'll feel the effects on the quicker side or if it'll take longer, but it's nice to know there's a possibility that I'll start to see some minor improvements soon. Even if it takes on the longer side, though, this is the first real, actionable change that's happened since I started pursuing mental health care, so it's honestly already a pretty big comfort to me. I'll probably be starting therapy late July/early August, and in the meantime I now have something real to do that could result in some positive change. I'm fully prepared for the possibility of this medication not being "the right one", but even if it's not, just knowing that things are finally in motion is already helping me out a bit.


Enough about me and my life, though; there's not too much game progress to talk about this week, but I do have one fun thing I want to show off that a few people have been asking for for a long time.

We're adding xrays/internal shots to CPE! Orexius has animated one for the Edovex H-scene (featuring double penetration in the trio scene), and we'll be using the base animation he created to go back and add them to all penetration H-scenes in the game. This will be a toggleable option, so if you don't like xrays in your porn then you'll be able to turn it off. We also do not plan on having oral xrays at the moment, just downstairs penetration. All of the xrays probably won't be done in time for v0.45, since there's plenty of other work for Orexius to do, so we'll be working on adding all of them over the next update or two.


Alright, that's it for this week. I've been saying thanks a lot lately, but it's because I truly mean it - not a lot of people in the USA are able to afford proper healthcare, and the only reason I'm able to finally start working on my life-long mental issues is because of all of you. It's not only the financial support, though, you've all been constantly cheering me on, giving advice, and reminding me that it's okay to take the time I need to figure all of this out. I probably won't ever have the words to thank you all properly, but I'll keep doing my best to work on my issues so we can keep on delivering you not only this game, but many more after it. Thanks again, everyone, and I'll see you with another update next week. <3

I always figured that the Edovex would have a foursome given they get released from the hives in threes, but do they have a threesome scene as well? I know its seems like a pointless question but I like the thought of seeing Alicia getting a floating double-teaming from below whilst waiting for number three to latch on!

Yeah, I've been wanting to do a foursome with them for a while, just didn't have the time back when I was handling animations. And they do have a threesome scene, yeah, but it's vaginal+oral, rather than vaginal+anal

I'm so sorry I continuously have very little to deliver, as far as game news goes, but I'm trying my best to not feel too bad for it. (...) so right now I'm just going to try and do what you've all been telling me to do, and focus on my mental health and getting better.

Honestly, I would much rather hear about progress on your mental health than progress to the game. That may not count for much coming from someone on a piracy forum, but seriously, I care about you getting better. If that means slower progress for the game, then that's a sacrifice everyone should have no issue in making. You feeling better will only help the game in the long run.

The medication they prescribed me is primarily an antidepressant, but it's often used to treat all 3 of my major mental health issues (depression, anxiety, ADD)

Honestly I'm starting to think that pretty much all antidepressants have an effect on anxiety and ADD. I'm on my third right now, and IIRC they all were used to treat those issues as well.

I started taking it a few days ago, so obviously no effects yet

Again, you've probably already heard this from your doctor, but expect side effects first before you start feeling better. Nausea has been a common one for me, but sleeplessness and worse mood have happened as well. And don't be discouraged if you don't consciously feel better after a while, even when the meds should have a positive effect. It may be that you are feeling better, but you're not noticing it due to the gradual change.

We're adding xrays/internal shots to CPE!

This is honestly making me very happy to see. And that animation you're showcasing there looks good, so that's promising for the rest of the internal shots. Will the internal shots include creampies?

Hey! Just found this game, cool to see it's still got people who care and love updating their game! Excited to try this out!

This is absolutely true, and it's a thing that's so damn hard to reconcile in my mind, the dichotomy between "taking a break to work on my mental health will make me work better and thus make the game develop faster and better" and "I'm already behind on work, taking a break means I'm not working on the game and falling even further behind, so I need to get back to work immediately".

It's something I've struggled with for the entirety of development, and usually I just powered through the depression; this is the second time during CPE's development that I've been completely unable to just force my way through it, the first time being when my dad passed away, which was a completely logical time to feel awful. The thing that's made it so difficult this time was that there was no triggering event, and yet it's some of the worst depression I've ever felt. It just seemed to come out of nowhere, and I've had no idea what to do about it. I think that's one of the reasons why I'm finally opening up about it and seeking help, because I quite literally ran out of ideas on my own. When my father passed it cost me nearly a year of my life where I was barely making updates or doing anything meaningful, and the idea of that happening again is terrifying, so I knew I had to try something this time.

Honestly I'm starting to think that pretty much all antidepressants have an effect on anxiety and ADD. I'm on my third right now, and IIRC they all were used to treat those issues as well.

Again, you've probably already heard this from your doctor, but expect side effects first before you start feeling better.

And don't be discouraged if you don't consciously feel better after a while, even when the meds should have a positive effect. It may be that you are feeling better, but you're not noticing it due to the gradual change.

It wouldn't surprise me, I imagine most neurodivergent people suffer from depression and/or anxiety to some degree. The world is built around how neurotypical brains work, so interacting with the world is, in many ways, inherently more difficult for us. It really is exhausting. I'm lucky I have my SO around, just as a recent example, because I handle phone calls terribly and there is no way at all for me to get any kind of appointment without phones, so she's been helping me by making calls on my behalf. A phone call seems like such a small thing, but having more barriers between you and getting help makes you so much less likely to reach out, when it's already difficult to reach out in the first place.

And yeah, no worries, I know about side effects. Headaches and insomnia were big ones she mentioned, which I have been getting, buuuuut I already suffered from both of those since before the meds, so it's hard to even tell if it's side effects or just business as usual lmao. Either way, I know I just need to power through any negative side effects unless they're particularly concerning or severe, at which point I can call them so they can advise me what to do.

This is honestly making me very happy to see. And that animation you're showcasing there looks good, so that's promising for the rest of the internal shots. Will the internal shots include creampies?

That's the plan. Most of the xray animations will copy/paste stuff a lot; there's only so many different ways we can show off internal shots, after all, but it will allow us to have all of the xrays and creampies animations for them implemented pretty quickly.
