Almost missed it...

Hello there,
Sorry about the late devlog. Today has been a very hectic day for me IRL and it almost slipped my mind. Work has been progressing well on the game this week.

Renders created: 38 / 387 overall

In other news, I have less stuff to pull me away from render creating now until at least September, so progress should get an uptick. Obviously, the situation might change, but I thought I'd let you guys know of the situation as it currently stands.

Thanks for reading,

I actually did a lot this week...

Hello There,

This week has been a HUGE week for the game, I was on a roll and managed to hit not only the 400th render this week, but also the 500th render as well!

• Renders created: 113 / 500 overall

So yeah, did a lot this week. The render queue is still going as I write this, which was a little unexpected. Not much else to report this week, hope you're doing well.

A lot of behind the scenes done...

So... I got a lot done outside of the game this week. If you are unaware, Dragon of Calon Valley is available to be wishlisted on Steam!

This is a huge step and I'd really appreciate all the support you can give! Another announcement I have is that Dragon of Calon Valley is up on GOGs dreamlist service! I'm doing this one just in case the Steam situation goes south for whatever reason...

As for actual game news, I nearing the end of the first day render wise, just got to do one variation of the current scene, then a one more scene and the day is complete.

• Renders created: 40 / 540 overall

Not much else to report, I hope you all have a good week and I'll see you next week!

About Gog dreamlist, I saw that yesterday when an other game got rejected by steam and in the discord we organized a small campaign to get that game on that list and promote it. then I went and discused getting an other game I follow that got rejected on the dreamlist and someone answered with this:



https://f95zone.to/threads/light-of-my-life-ch-9-v0-9-1-naughty-road.29628/post-17913019

So while I find it fine to get the game on that list now, I would maybe wait to call for people's vote so the game can be voted on by many at the same time to try and get it trending so more people could see it by simply browsing the dreamlist, because trust me there are enough games there to make it a daunting task to go try to find it and vote for it simply by browsing without going by categories.

I already upvoted it even if from the comment there you might be better of waiting a bit.

Another week of work is done...

Hello there,

So this week, I managed to get another huge lot of renders done for the game. I've managed to get to the 600th render and also finished the renders for the first day of the update and have already started on the following day.

• Renders created: 105 / 645 overall

I'm really excited to see what you guys think of the stuff I've done in the update, I'm really proud of what I've gotten done. Just as a quick reminder, you can wishlist DCV on

As for next week, it is the last week before I head back to college for my second and final year but it shouldn't affect development too much at the start. Obviously if that changes, I will let you know.

* It was my birthday this week, I was going to take it easy...

Hello There,

So this week has been an interesting one, it was my birthday on Friday, so I planned to do more renders on every other day other than Friday... I did the most renders of the week on my birthday and that's with celebrating with my family. I hit the 700th render of the update and the 100th render of the second day of the update.

• Renders created: 90 / 735 overall

As for IRL news, obviously the big news is that was my birthday on Friday and I am now in the 30s club. In other news, I start my second year in college next week, but it shouldn't affect development of the game too much. I will let you lovely people know if that changes. Hope you have a lovely week.

* More work done this week

Hello there,

I decided to add a scene for one of the girls this week, because I felt like she was lacking content, then I remembered that it needs two versions of the scene depending on player choices, so that was interesting to try and differentiate the two options. Aside from that, I've hit the 800th render overal for the update and 200th render for the second day of said update.

• Renders created: 96 / 831 overall

I only have about three scenes left to render for the update, unfortunaetly I think they'll be the longest scenes in the update and very involved (So please pray for my PC).

* One render to rule them all...

Hello there,

I'm going to be completely honest with you guys, this week not a lot of work got done numbers of renders wise, and It's all because of this weeks sneak peak render.

If you're not interested in technical aspect of rendering making process, tldr is one render took up multiple days because my computer is 10 years old.

If you are interested, here we go:

Now you are probably looking at the image and going that doesn't look complicated, and it probably wouldn't be if my computer isn't 10 years old.



I had to make sure the scene optimizer was making everything on the lowest textures and even then it would not render. So what I had to do was a thing called Spot Render, where I had to split the image into separate renders.



And even then, the three people render required even more tinkering that drove me loopy! Thankfully, I quite like the finished result so worth it! I hope to get a lot more renders done next week.

* Bit of a short one this week

Hello there,

As mentioned above, this week will be a short one, as I'm finishing up a big scene and want to get back to it. Work is cruising along thankfully, I did encounter an issue where a small render would freeze my entire PC, but thankfully I found a lovely work around.

I forgot to mention that the demo for Dragon of Calon Valley is available on Steam!

* No comment available this week

Hello there,

Another relatively short one this week, a lot went on IRL-wise and I'm still dealing with some of it. As for the game, I got decent amount of renders done, and it looks like the renders (while in a specific location) are going to take awhile. Thankfully I'm about halfway through the scene using that location, so here's hoping the next location isn't as taxing on my PC.

• Renders created: 53 / 988 overall

I've offically past last updates render count, which is exciting for me and I'm easily on track to getting over 1k renders, which is going to be interesting when I start the post processing process...

* 1k renders achieved

Hello there,

I've been hard at work on the game and finally hit the 400th render of the second day and hit the overall 1k render count.

• Renders created: 61 / 1049 overall

I'm really happy with the progress of the game, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is doing post processing on over 1000k renders, but that's a me issue.

In other news, Steam Next Fest starts tomorrow and DCV will be taking part in it! For those of you who are unaware, Steam Next Fest is a week long big showcase of demos for games coming out in the future.

So if that interests you, be sure to play the demo of Dragon of Calon Valley and share your thoughts!

* This week has been hectic IRL
Hello there,

Not a long dev log this week folks. Yeah, unfortunately I had a lot going on this week IRL, which obviously has taken me away from my PC and the game.

In other more exciting news, the Halloween Adult Games Bundle on Itch has gone live here! Not only can you play DCV, but also try out games such as Office Perks, Power of Truth, Neon Heart and the recently crosspromo'd Origin Story! You can get the bundle

Again, bit of a short one this week, but hopefully IRL calms down a bit and I can return to working on the game.

Coincidences do happen. Our beloved pixie and fallen angel visit a psychologist to treat their addiction to cosplay and lingerie, and there they meet Norah and Erika, a stunning beautiful mother and daughter. They are shocked to find that they are dressed exactly the same! And, obviously, they start to bond.

Beth is loving her new dance partner, the sexy Norah, while Stacy needs a bit more encouragement from the lovely Erika.

Both Erika and Norah are from My Dorm, by my friend Tropecita Games. Can you guess which render is his and which one is mine?

You can wishlist My Dorm is also on

Not sure if the dev reads these, but I don't see a way to message them on patreon and I have a question on their patreon memberships.
It appears that the $3 and the $5 membership plans do not include all the sexy content?
Their description of the memberships describe those 2 as: Includes access to all the SFW content and some of the NSFW content.
(I bolded the "some" to highlight it.)

So I am wondering if I am reading that correctly?
If someone pledge $3 or $5 they don't get the full game?
I was thinking of supporting but won't pledge $10 a month to get the full game.

If my reading is correct, will the steam version be the full game with all the NSFW content?

Update: thank you, Blkcrow20, for confirming below that all the paid patreon support tiers get full access to the content.

No, if you sub you get access to all the content. I talked to Fire about this, he will update his page.

Thank you - I subbed to Fire.
I also edited my original post to reflect your information so people aren't confused by my post.
