would be a first where they put the MC meeting an ex and the MC DOESNT automatically have to re get with them
Yeah, but also new if they stick to the fact that she did cheat on him and yet is trying to redeem herself (or not, perhaps she's already redeemed and moved on). I don't know of another game that has an actual love interest who cheated and was found out by the MC in such a dramatic way but then comes back years later. Regardless I think that the dev should stick to Ava being a cheater, few will go that route but it will interest some. I prefer that there be a "no love interest I need to get my shit together" route. We shall see...

id like to reshare my prediction from pages back
" " Moneys still on blaming substance abuse, she got even worse after THE EVENT, hit rock bottom, and now she sober and is on way to a 4th world (YES EVEN WORSE THAN 3RD WORLD) country to help starving children to show she is good person so we must forgive""

Maybe! Or to play devil's advocate... She is heading to New York because she tried to clean up, ended up in the gutter, became a prostitute, stole money to pay for her habit and is fleeing to New York City...And maybe beyond.

Last dev update on patreon 4/25
Now besides that, I finally got done with the flashback sequence, and we're back to present day. The render above is when MC wakes up. As you can see Annie looks a bit different, I converted her to gen 8.1, and also changed up her hair a bit for reasons that will be easily explained when you play chapter 2. All in all, I am very happy to be back in the present. There is a lot planned for this chapter so developing it is gonna take a lot of time. I am sincerely grateful for everyone that's been waiting patiently, and I feel so guilty when another month goes by and I can't deliver news on a release date or something more "big". I've already stated not having 3090 is slowing things down significantly so I am relying on a render farm that is not available often. I'm hoping maybe a few months after chapter 2 I can afford a 3090, but we'll see. I have really improved my overall render quality and learned more regarding posing and lighting so little things like that will increase the length of a render.

All this being said, I am optimistic this next month will have a bigger render count than before, among other things. I feel more focused and motivated to get these scenes done. Coding will need to begin soon though, which is never that fun for me, LOL. But yeah, catch you guys next month with hopefully a MUCH more chunkier dev update. Take care. :)

Dev update


Hey everyone, hope May treated you all well. Here is my current progress on Fallen Roads chapter 2:

Writing: 50%

Coding: 30%

Rendering: 40%

Total: 45%

These are just ballpark calculations, but as you can see they're not as large as I'd like them to be. Let's go over what I've actually done this past month. One of the first things I had to do was flesh out some characters who are going to be more impactful to the story in some way than I originally planned. Which also required me to write some more backstory stuff that will be revealed later in the story. Another thing I did was render another 100 or so renders while simultaneously writing the dialogue for 2 other scenes. Lastly, I coded a little quick time event that will hopefully be fun to you guys when you play it.



What I need to do for this month is go back to the writing board a bit and go through my entire story again and move some things around just to make sure everything makes sense and is connected. Then I need to finish that house I was 3D modeling in blender and see how much of it will be used in the game and how much I will just kitbash (combining multiple different assets together) in Daz. Also need to finish writing most of the dialogue for all the scenes and then of course I'll render and code a lot more this month. I can tell you guys now, mentally I'm aiming for a late July-early August release at this pace. Would be nice if it could be earlier but as you guys know, there are multiple setbacks and bottlenecks holding me back. But hey, progress is progress. Hope you enjoy this render of Annie, and hopefully next month treats you better than this one.

Take care and thank you so much for your continued support! <3

A very good start. The author gives a choice, when we do not yet know the story, this is not quite the correct setting of the script. But this is a trifle, so I'm waiting for the next updates.

Played it, loved it, can't wait for the update
All I can ever ask For VN wise is a visual novel that is story based with meaningful characters. Not that blend porn shit about a dude fucking every thing that moves

I listened to the Q&A on your channel and I must say that got me even more intrigued about this game especially the shit you said about "not wanting to be friends with anyone who gets the bad ending of the game" .. Shits pretty fucking ominous now I'm intrigued to see just how fucked up that ending will be

"No man with even a little self-respect will ever forget or forgive what she did, regardless of the circumstances, unless he is a complete cuckold."
I respectfully disagree: since Ava was put back into the MC's path, and since their episode dates back with both of them seeming to have changed in the mean time, I feel like they should get a chance for reconciliation and closure.
It would be too simplistic of a story to make her only an object of loathing and revenge.

All in all a very promising start. I loved the soundtrack, the renderings, the transitions. Just great!
I haven't personally been cheated on as far as I know(lol I say that cause we never really know what people do behind your back) but for some reason that cheating scene kinda hit me, the batryal is what gets me I guess and that coming from a person who claims she loves you

But I get your point, me personally I don't care how pretty a girl is if she cheats she's dead to me.. I don't tolerate batryal and disloyalty.. Will I forgive her, I guess with time when you find someone else you stop giving a fuck about the past girls so her cheating on you wouldn't mean shit anymore, so that's kind of forgiveness but in this case with the MC it seems like what she did to him ruined his life so I could understand if he never forgives her and I'm totally cool with that(lol if I'm honest if the dev gives us an option to either forgive her or not I'll probably pick the latter)

Any news on the release of the new version?
Maybe on Discord but on Patreon he updates once a month on the 25th, so in 3 days we shall hear his status hopefully. Would really like to see a second installment.
