Hello, my friends... here we are, finally back to Last Human. Today I organized my episode 4 script file and went over my outline for the story. I'm hoping I won't have too many rewrites (I always say that). This marks the beginning of the writing/coding process. I always like to get everything written before I start doing graphics because I can pay more attention to details in the dialogue as I work and make any corrections or changes along the way to perfect the image I'm going for. I'm not sure exactly how many 'scenes' I'll have yet, but hopefully I'll have an update on that by devlog 3.
I won't spoil too much of this episode because I don't want to ruin your first read-through. But this one will focus a lot on Dezzy, the third 'pet' (or whichever name you chose) MC needs to mate with. We'll of course see interactions with most of the girls through the episode, but Dezzy will get most of the attention. You're really going to get a sense of her personality here. She's been a mystery to us for the most part, at least up until she broke into our quarters and met us in there. Dezzy is on the naughty side with a slight pain fetish. For those of you not into that, don't worry too much - it's me, it will be fairly tame stuff. But getting away from the sex stuff, we'll get to know her a little better as a person, our security chief, and still a member of the queen's blades.
Now apart from Dezzy... the Aurora will be leaving Pantherian orbit finally. After a short stop back at the planet Teldarr (where Nia crashed us) to take some accurate readings and scans, we'll be heading much further out into the Pantherian system to the planet Eyska. I won't say more beyond that for now, but I think it should be a great episode!
Well, keeping this short. I know how much you guys love my walls of text!
Anyway, hang in there, we're on our way to the update now, my friends.Love you all, ...Fire

Hello and happy weekend once again my fellow starship captains! I have a lot to do this weekend, so we'll keep this short and to the point, just a quick update to let you know where I am and to keep you in the loop.
I've been pressing right along with writing/coding, currently well into scene 5 of... I still don't know how many scenes there will be, sorry! If I had to guess, I'd just throw '20' out there. It's a big ass update so I could be overestimating a bit there.
I'm considering adding episode images at the beginning of each episode (similar to the image of Dezzy I posted in devlog 1). I think it would be a neat little extra plus something graphic that sort of distinguishes the end of one episode and beginning of the next.
I also really want to add an episode selection screen. But this one is tricky because if a person who has never played decides to jump right into episode 2, or 4, or whatever, they will not have defined the variables for their own name, which would default to 'Mike' or 'pet'. Yes, there are plenty of ways around that but trying to avoid anything too complicated. I may do it in a way that forces you to have at least played episode 1 or add a quick question when you hit 'play' on an episode asking if you need to rename your character or your chosen word for 'pet'. I'll toy with a few ideas and see if I like it or not. I don't know if that will make it into this update because I have enough work to do for that already. But definitely on my list of features to add. Meanwhile, you're welcome to offer up your thoughts or preferences on that.
That's all I have right now. Thanks for your messages in DM's and comments on posts, and your support - all appreciated! Now let's go enjoy the weekend, love you all, ...Fire

My friends... I skipped last week's devlog. To be honest, I didn't have a lot to report at the time. In my last devlog, I was well into writing scene 5. Today, I am on scene 12. So, what happened? I should have been further along than that after 2 weeks. Writer's block happened. Basically, I had written a cool situation then found some errors in the continuity. After going back over my story notes, I decided to rewrite the scene. Same situation, with errors corrected. Sometimes, this happens. My 'block' came during that rewrite. So, I went several days without writing anything at all. Four days ago, I woke up at 3am from a dead sleep, with an idea - my 'block' was cured. I wrote the entire series of scenes from 3am until around 8am when it was time for me to work my full-time job. The end result is... well it's definitely much better and I am continuing on. The problem is that when this happens, I can't go on and write ahead because I write the story in order from beginning to end. If I get stuck, I am just stuck until I get it figured out.
Now that the block is gone and the veil is lifted, I am able to move forward again. Following that situation in the story, the Aurora and its crew will be returning to Sol. I won't say more than that for now. A lot is happening in this episode as the crew travel to several locations. At this time, I am literally a few lines from the halfway point in the coding process. And if I don't run into any more of those damn blocks, I should knock out the rest of the coding within a few short weeks. Even after this little delay, that would put me slightly ahead of schedule in getting started on the graphics, so this is a good thing. But you need to know in advance... it is going to be a lot more images than I have done in any previous update to either of my games. So bear with me and be patient. I am going for quality here, not speed. Keep in mind also that I am adding some graphics to episode 1 that were missing and editing the dialogue slightly there. As for adding in the episode guide, I'll do that during a shorter episode. There is just too much to get done right now to tackle that too. I'll probably work on that a little bit between releases.
I know, I'm a long-winded fucker... stick with me here. I wanted to comment on porn AVN issues and where I stand on that. I have seen a lot of posts here and there about Patreon dropping creators because of certain content. People ask why I won't let you have sex with MC's sister in Serenity. That very thing is one reason. The other is that this kind of content does nothing for me. Pretty much every other AVN out there is that "landlord/landlady" or "childhood friend" crap. That content, plus stuff that borders on the 'R' word, or characters that look too much like children... I've always made sure my games don't break any of these rules. With that said, what I am seeing is that line slowly moving backwards. It's hard to find music sites that will allow you to use their music if your game is 'porn' in nature at all. That little aspect right there hurts me because it is an important part of how I tell a story... the right music choice in a scene can make the difference between a scene that brings tears to your eyes, or a scene that is completely emotionless. I want you to see that emotion on the faces of the characters, and the music should coexist with that, strengthen what you feel when you read through it. I spend as much time choosing music as I do writing the code for an update... it is that important to me. I've written scenes totally based on a track I found (the scene where Trixy tricks MC into reliving those terrible memories of his mother was written when I found that song that plays during the scene). If I lose the selection of songs I have to choose from, that will hurt my process in a huge way.
If the line keeps moving backwards until porn is completely unacceptable by all of the online resources we currently have that help us to make a little side money, then you will see me switching to a more R-rated system. I know that would probably lose about half of my subscribers - but that won't even matter if I can't even use the site that supports subscriptions to start with. So, either way, I know I will lose some fans, and I know a few of you would stick around. This is not something I am planning right now. I just wanted to mention it. Right now, I think Serenity and especially Last Human are fine and aren't breaking any TOS rules on Patreon. As long as that is true, then nothing will change. But if that line begins to touch me, and push me backwards, I'll make a change. Let's hope that never happens, at least until I complete Serenity. It would be easier to remove X-rated content in LH than Serenity if this were to happen. From what I've seen, it doesn't matter how big of a creator you are... some pretty big names have been hit. Of course, their games did have content that was pushing the boundaries. Keep it wholesome people... the AVN community can survive if we do that.
Well, that's all I have this week. Now I must get back to coding. I'll be plugged in all weekend... I have my snacks and drinks, a great playlist of new music I'll be listening to (in search of new songs to use), and the wife is away all weekend. If I don't answer DM's, you know why. By the way, a shout out to Caribdis (

I hope the music will never have to take a backseat. The soundtracks add so much to the story you are telling. It only makes it that much of a better overall experience. Look forward to the update.

Hello again everyone, and happy weekend! I almost skipped this week because next week is "May the 4th be with you". Just imagine, Last Human Episode 4, Devlog 4, on May the 4th! Epic! Okay, that's silly. Seriously though, I was too excited to not post a devlog this week because I am almost done with coding episode 4.
So, coding is right around 90% completed. Also, one of my favorite modders (Fouetty) was able to help me with some desperately needed assets that will save me a lot of time creating some of the scenes. Last Human will have a lot of scenes and situations that are going to require assets not readily available to import into HS2, so a lot of scenes have to be made from scratch. I've had to do that a lot, like the capsule interior in episode 1 (a scene I'd really like to redo someday because the door just came out bad). Since then, I've learned a few things about building from scratch in HS2.
Speaking of HS2, I just updated to the latest repack version. I had been using R9 since it released (2022). Another modder (Hanmen) has recently been updating and improving the graphics mod that helps us with effects and image quality. I could have updated that without updating HS2, but I've learned in the past it is better to have the latest versions of everything, especially with Hanmen's mods. But along with all that, the latest repacks usually have a lot more new assets added, and updated versions of mods that are commonly used by all devs. Anyway, a side-effect of updating HS2 is getting all of my settings back to my preference and making sure my old scenes will still load up looking the same. Using my presets in the graphics mod though, my scenes loaded fine. And my preferences are all back to normal. So, I should be ready to start rendering right away once this coding is done.
I am pretty confident that by next weekend, I will have started rendering scenes (and hopefully have a preview image for you guys). Of course, as you know, the rendering process is the longest part of building these episodes. And I will repeat this again - this is a bigger update than I've done in the past... a lot more images, probably more animations. So, I have no idea how long it will take; I don't have a 'release date' right now. It will take how long it takes and that's all I can really say for the moment. It's hard to guage a release date when you're one person doing everything alone.
In the last devlog, I mentioned that Dezzy would get a lot of attention. Well, in the later half of episode 4, another girl is going to get most of the attention: Kalina. MC and Kalina will have an 'away mission' together. I'll leave it at that. There is a lot to spoil in this episode because MC will learn a lot of stuff he didn't know before... like things his dad didn't tell him about before he died.
Well, anyway. That's where we are right now. I will focus on wrapping up the coding/writing this weekend and perhaps the first part of next week. And hopefully by the time devlog 5 is posted, I'll be adding the first preview image. That post MIGHT be patron-only because I will probably post an NSFW image in that one. But patron-only devlogs are for all tiers... so if you're on the cheapest tier, you'll see it.
That's all I have for this week. Enjoy the weekend! Love you all, ...Fire

Hello everyone! Yep, this devlog is late. I wanted to post it on Friday as usual, but I got sick and spent most of the weekend down. I kept up with Discord on my phone from my bed. But the good news is that in the wake of my shitty weekend, I did finish writing episode 4! And I'm very happy with it. Now it's on to graphics. Of course, this will take a while too. I have a few new scenes to build. But it won't be too bad as I've managed to find some great assets and scenery to import and use. Thanks to Fouetty for all his mod work! I will have some great looking scenes that will work very well with what I've written for this episode.
I guess now is a good time to give you a sense of what to expect from episode 4. This one could be called "the sex episode" because it has quite a lot of it actually. What's funny is that I didn't intend for it to be that way. But during writing, I saw opportunities and took advantage of them. This is a porn VN after all. So why not? Also, I wanted to have some fun stuff before episode 5 and 6 where we'll run into Acladean rebels again. This time they'll be much stronger than that first encounter. But let's not get too far ahead.
Episode 4 is focused on Dezzy, Kalina, and the mystery of the Teldarians who once lived on Teldarr. There is a lot of fun stuff this episode is setting us up for, so if it feels like a lot happening... it's because there is.
Finally, I also reworked the menu animation and also added the N2TheFire Games logo video at the beginning. Look at me, all growing up and stuff! LOL... Anyway, I am hoping the new additions won't be too hard on android users. I kept the videos in my normal format so they should still play on android devices just fine. On my test build locally on my PC, it is flawless and smooth.
That's all I have for now my friends. I probably won't post devlog 6 until Friday of next week, but I may have some special posts for patrons between now and then. So, stay tuned! Love you all, ...Fire

(Here we go, posted in the right thread now. Geez... I'm losing it LOL)
Hello my friends and happy weekend!
Over the last week, I completed several tasks that needed to be done. The intro video was one of them along with the main menu screen animation, which you got to see in devlog 5. That has now been coded in. I also prefabbed some scene locations... I'm still working on that a little, but nearly done. I've already rendered a complete scene as well. So, I'm well into the rendering stage now. Coding is complete (outside of coding in animations as I get to those and fixing some scenes in episode 1 where there is a bunch of dialogue but no images).
I still also plan on adding episode start images. These will basically be sexy images or maybe scenes that relate to something that happens in the episode. I will be adding these for episodes 2, 3, and 4 to catch up... and will add them going forward with each new episode release. I felt like something needed to be added between each episode and my wife actually made the suggestion.
I did begin looking into creating a sort-of replay gallery. Basically, it will be an episode player where you can select the episode you want to watch again instead of creating saves or playing through from the beginning. At the end of each episode, I always say something like "back up a page or two and save your game". And generally, this was your way to keep track of each episode, so you're all set when the next one releases. What I want to do is make it so that when I add an episode, you can simply open the 'episodes' menu and click on the latest episode. And you can still use your save if you choose to do that. I am still working out some kinks in this idea because if someone who has never played before tries to start an episode before they've gone through the character naming and all that, well it will be weird for them. So, I'm experimenting with adding a variable at the beginning that if you don't cross that point (after naming character), then the episodes page will be there, but inactive. Once they've done the naming stuff and that is saved in the 'persistent' file, then they can play any episode they want (the page becomes active). Well, that is the idea at least. I may wait one more update to put this in though since this is a longer episode than most. We'll see how it goes.
My plan for this weekend is to fix episode 1 (the missing images when they're supposed to be walking through the space station to get to the Aurora). That shouldn't take me too long, so hopefully I'll also get some more renders done on the scenes. By the way, there are 19 scenes. Not as many as the previous episode, but some are quite a bit longer than others. Basically, when the 'location' changes in the story, I label that as a new scene (label lh4scene019 - for example). Then, when I work on the rendering, I can focus on a scene at a time. It might sound goofy, but it actually helps me a lot - having a goal to finish each scene, until all 19 are done.
Well, that's it for now. Mother's Day recently passed and at the end of this episode is a scene sort of related to that. You'll understand when you see it. Anyway, back to work! I'm shooting for this to release by my birthday, which is July 28th. Would be nice if I could finish all these graphics before then but realistically, I doubt that will happen. I'll keep you posted. Enjoy your weekend! Love you all, ...Fire

My friends...
A little surprise to end this weekend. I decided to re-release episode 3 with the following updates:
- New intro video (N2TheFire Games logo)
- Improved Menu Screen animation
- Fixed missing images in episode 1 when they are in the space station heading to the Aurora
- Added episode start images for episodes 2 and 3 (both animated)
- Changed ending of episode 3 (removed the 'Lili' stuff)
I also corrected a few more misspellings/grammar issues. You'll of course need to start a new game to see the changes (unless you have a save before or around the time of the rocket launch from earth in episode 1). If you start a new game, you can skip ahead until you see the rocket launch stuff.
The scene with Lili moving over to Last Human has been removed. After hearing feedback (and thinking about it myself), it didn't make sense to move her at this time. In fact, I think she will remain a permanent Serenity side character. As much as I wanted to reduce the number of characters in Serenity, some of you felt like she was where she belonged. Plus, she has shown love for MC, and he in return. Besides, Lili still has a major role to play in Serenity chapter 2 going into the 'endgame' scenes. She will join Rin, Lena, Jasmine, Morgan, Trixy, and Kat in the harem and become a main love interest. So, yeah... in my effort to reduce the number of love interests, I did that only to end up adding one, haha!
As for Last Human, episode 3 now ends in a way that will match with the main plot that continues in episode 4 (currently in development). Please enjoy... Love you all, ...Fire

Just in general. This I don't really understand. How fucking hard is it to put those lesbians avoidable so they don't even happen in the background. At that time this whole discussion didn't need to happen. NTR, Lesbians, Sharing, Prostitution, Femdom, Camwhore, Voyeurism, those are now at least blown up every fucking time on this forum, but the devs just don't know how to make them avoidable. Every time every game there are a million questions about whether they are avoidable. Those million questions wouldn't be asked if those things were immediately stated in the OP to be avoidable. There are a lot of players on this forum who quit the game right at the first forced shitty scene that the lazy dev doesn't know how to put as avoidable. In monetary terms, any dev that doesn't bother to make those shitty things avoidable is losing a hell of a lot of money, as the player who is forced to run into the thing that pisses them off will never support the dev. Otherwise there could be a lot more supporters, but shitty content drives potential supporters away. I myself have stopped supporting several game developers after they put shitty content in their games and will never support that dev in any game ever again.
In fact I will also not download a game if any of those things are directed at LI and that shit does not get avoidable. Then that game has no value to me.
If things were avoidable, then that game would theoretically be playable by everyone. Even if you put NTR on it, then even then theoretically everyone can play it if that shit gets avoidable. Same thing with all the other fetishes. Too often I come across that a dev likes something, then immediately assumes that others like it too. No fetish is for everyone. That's why at least those most explosive ones should be put behind the button.
