Just started playing and already run into lesbian Li's. Will this be avoidable if we commented in the coffee shop that it bothers mc?
Appreciate the info. Time to gtfo.


You really do not have to announce your departure. This is not an airport. ;)
Indeed, this is a pirate fucking public forum, meaning anyone can announce their arrival, departure and everything in between as long as it's about the game, which this certainly is if you haven't notice.

* Another hectic week IRL

Hello there,

Another hectic week IRL, taking me away from the computer and away from the game. But thankfully, on the days where I have time to work on the game, I do quite a lot of work. I've managed to blow past the 1.1k render count and nearing the 500 render count for the second day, with only two scenes left of the update.
  • Renders created: 70 / 1119 overall
So here's hoping there will be less hectic stuff IRL (there won't be none, due to the nature of life) this coming week and I should be able to get the renders done for the update. Then post processing is the life for me, but it'll go a lot quicker than rendering (hopefully).

Just as a reminder, the is still going, it'll be going for one more full week. Also don't forget to wishlist Dragon of Calon Valley on . Any support you can give is always appreciated.

Thanks for reading,

FireValleyGames

* Now the real works begins

Hello There,

I've done it, I've finished all the renders for this update! It's by far the biggest one I've done so far (that's what she said), totalling 1153 renders. Now I've started to the post work on those renders.

  • Renders Total: 1153
  • Renders Post Work Completed: 317
As you can see, I'm making decent progress on the post work, already half way through the first day of the update! I'm not going to give a release date just yet, because there's still the music and SFX to put in and then the testers have to get their hands on the game to see if everything works.

But yeah exciting times!

Hope you all had a lovely Halloween and speaking of Halloween, the has one day left, if you haven't picked up the bundle, I strongly suggest you do. Because we passed our 8K stretch goal there are discount codes on the pages for devs patreons, mine included!

Speaking of Patreon, the eagle eyed among you might have noticed that I've added a new tier to the list, the Dragon tier! You get a monthly custom render done by yourself truly, but keep in mind there are only 4 spots for the tier.

Thanks for reading,

* Little bit of good, Little bit of bad

Hello there,

I'm going to be trying Patreons newsletter, where there will updates for everyone but paid members will get access to a NSFW preview from the coming update.

Updates for everyone
So good news and bad news, I'm afraid. The good news is most of the renders have been post worked on and put into the game, save for the last couple of scenes in the update. Bad news is the those last couple of scenes have got texture issues in them, so I've had to re-render most of them. And it's been going for a while as you see:

So yeah that's unfortunately delayed things a bit, but hopefully the renders will be done by next devlog and the game will definitely benefit from it. (I have a potato PC, so that's why it takes so long).

In IRL news, I had an operation on Friday, nothing serious, just needed to sort some stuff out. So i'm currently on the road to recovery. Just thought I'd let you know what's going on with me.

Thanks for reading,

Thought I'd try the girls of DCV in other games, and considering the Fallout Season 2 trailer came out recently, it made the most sense to do that first! Enjoy Emily coming back to her chambers after a shift to find a little present on her bed.

This will be the last dev log before release of the next update. I'm still not giving a release date yet, testing has revealed some bugs that I need to iron out, but it is close, I promise. All the renders have been placed in the game, the sfx and music is coming along nicely, testing will begin soon. The next dev log you will see is the release schedule.

Thanks for reading,

Hello there,

This is going to be a lot of reading, so grab something to eat and buckle up!

It's wild to think that I've been working on DCV for a full year as of today. Well technically, I've been working on the game for a lot longer than a full year, but it's been a full year since the games' first release. I didn't think anyone would care about my silly little game if I'm honest. I thought it would die in obscurity. But I'm very happy to be proven wrong.

First off, huge thank you to all of you that have supported me throughout the development of DCV, I appreciate every single one of you! Be it through monetary help, or spreading the word far and wide, or even just clicking download and giving my silly game about fantasy creatures wanting to bone down a chance.

I want give some thanks, so if you're not into that, that's fine. DCV will continue development and thank you all.

First and second thanks go to my awesome testers blkcrow and JeffersonSound. Thank you both for making my game the best it could possibly be. I appreciate you both for all the work you put into Dragon of Calon Valley. Another person I give a shout out to is PandaDrummer, a clipping-finding expert, and all around swell guy. He helps push me to improve my renders, so thank you bud.

Up next are some developers I want to give thanks to:

Without Amomymous Games, Office Perks, there would be no Dragon of Calon Valley. It quite literally was my direct inspiration (before I added all the Urban Fantasy stuff to the setting). Amom, you gave me the confidence to start this wild and wacky journey, and gave me a lot of tips on how to improve my renders, so I thank you for all of that.



Hanako is my fucking bro, when I met him in a mutal server, we were both the newbs, learning from our far more experienced peers and supporting each other. I'm so very proud of him and the work he's done, with both Actual Roommates and Neon Heart.

As mentioned earlier, I met most of these people on a server and that server belonged to Asia The Magical Gurl. I will forever be grateful to Asia for being so welcoming to me when I had quite literally nothing to show for myself.

Now this wizard right here, is an amazing 3D modeller. He's the one that created both the MC's and Vicky's necklaces and various other items strewn around DCV. I've lost track of how many items he's made and then gone off to play Fallout for billionth time. I'm forever grateful for his talent.

DCV_BD_06.png



JDOR introduced me to the trio of blkcrow, JeffersonSound and PandaDrummer, so I'll be forever grateful to him for that. His game Origin Story always makes me want to push my poor 10 year old PC to its absolute limit just to get a fraction of the beauty of his renders. He's just a cool dude.

DCV_BD_03.png

There are so many other people I want to thank, , , and countless others, if not for their help, DCV would be not nearly as good as people keep telling me it is.

Thanks for reading, enjoy some pictures I made for DCV 1 year anniversary! (There will NSFW version released later for subscribers)

Thanks for everything,

FireValleyGames

Emily wanted to try out bowling, unfortunately no one else was available. Thankfully, she built a friendly rivalry with Cayla!

Cayla is from Dorm Days, being developed by !

Another way to describe how it feels to me is that I'm playing the scene outline, before the script is fleshed out.
I think that's a fair assessment. I'm somewhat patient with the current content because it feels a lot like a pilot episode where they're getting the gang together. But it sacrifices a lot of depth by doing it this way.
