Yep, 12 hours a day shifts. Busted my ass. Hope it will be fun playthrough for you.
And thanks for the purchase, remember to hit the discord if you're not there. And poke me about it... I don't like charging twice for the game. So everyone in Early Access gets permanent access after 1 purchase. No matter how many chapters I print out.
12 hour shifts don't sound sustainable mate. As much as i'd like the game finished ASAP, burnout makes that less likely. I hope that at least with the Steam release the game's providing you with an income of sorts?
E: just seen it's on in November on steam
That is the hope, as long as I can get one big income boost from Steam. I'll reinvest it all back into the project, hiring people to help me even. That's the whole plan.
Cause I've sank a small fortune on Elleria by now, especially on soundtracks. Assets aside. Not to mention RTX4090 drains shit ton of electricity for constant day and night rendering. Bills to deal with.
And what I get from Itch.io and Ko-Fi tips, well, honestly, I just buy fucking energy drinks to chug down. Staying awake 7 days for more than 12 hours a day isn't easy.
I know, it really boils down to me getting sick physically more than mentally. But I also don't wanna be Dr.PinkCake, no matter the quality of product, to release updates every fucking year of Christ, and keep people waiting, at least those who actually like the game.
Not to mention I have other projects I wanna work on, and Elleria is meant to be a trilogy. So I gotta keep up the pressure and push stuff out one after another.
I'd prefer to leave these games finished by the time I'm dead, contrary to some devs out there it seems.
I'm counting the coins in my pocket lad... Your game needs the support and I try to figure out who I stop supporting to support you, because the coins in my pocket are not limitless
The thought is more then enough, and more than appreciated. If you want, just purchase the game on Itch.io / Steam once.
Join the discord, grab the Early Access role, and you get all updates, regardless of when or how much for free. As long as I breathe anyways.
I don't want you to spend monthly on me, honestly. But as I said, I appreciate the hell out of it nonetheless.
I to had / have this exact issue with the White screen then freezing..
No idea what causes it but i just deleted the elleria folder from AppData\Roaming\RenPy and the game loads now.
Perhaps something to do with Ren'py update, or the whole Steam backend addon that I had to put in. I'm sorry about that, I didn't have such issues personally, and I tested stuff several times before upload.
But perhaps due to heavy coding changes or something, it messes up with stuff.
I'm already there on Itch.io, but this seems like something...whatever. Need to check on 2-3 medieval games I support and cancel something to support in a proper way. I don't want to say what I'm canceling but I have an output. Don't make me regret this. Keep up th effort
I'm on it already chief. Just cause I updated, doesn't mean I'm not doing anything right now.

Bro! What, are you fucking kidding me
Online reviews in general have gone absolutely insane in the past few years. Especially the likes of IMDB.
It's it's not morons making completely misplaced political protests it's idiots being upset that they watched something and it didn't miraculously fit their exact desires.
'this show has a prominent black character. WOKE! 1/10'
'This movie is all about teenaged stuff. it's rubbish. 1/10'
Streaming seems to have completely erased the idea that media has a target audience. Just because it exists doesn't mean you're supposed to like it. I don't watch boring dramas because i know i won't like them. I definitely don't get upset if i accidentally watch something i don't normally like.
The fact i don't like something also doesn't mean i just rate it 1/10, because that's fucking stupid. Most things are (oddly enough) average. You wouldn't fucking know it though
Sorry this general topic really pisses me off. It's made ratings completely unreliable across the board

This is shaping up to be one of the best games on here and they also deliver the updates when promised unlike so many other devs who shan't be named.
Fully understandable, not gonna bother reporting it even. Honestly, I've decided to move away as it is. As far as I care, let everyone rate it 1. Bombard it, let it burn.
I've had enough, no more energy to keep up that fight going. Just done.
Thanks man, really, thanks. And I'll continue to do so! For as long as I can, or death doesn't knock on my doors. Hopefully not soon!
Hope you enjoy Chapter III, it was emotional one to make for me!

At this point better put a disclaimer about the side effects of jerking to porn and AVN SView attachment 4154841

Fuck it. I can't be arsed anymore, honestly. Besides, Elleria is not here to sell sex. Those who pay attention, it is a story and story first.At this point better put a disclaimer about the side effects of jerking to porn and AVN S
And quite a dramatic story at that... which I'll shut up before I start spoiling. Of course, this doesn't prevent Eliot from making few kids along the way, but hey.
You know what I mean.
