STATUS UPDATE CH3 AND CH2.5

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in the update. Where I live, we've been having some very heavy rains, and I don't know if anyone lives in a place like this, but here it floods easily. With these rains, the city is underwater. Water even got into my house, but we didn't have major damages because we live on the second floor. However, the optical fiber broke, and since many people had issues, it took almost a week to fix. But aside from this mess, everything is okay now.

Regarding update 2.5, there are 2 animations in the rendering queue, with one currently at frame 94 out of 130. As soon as these animations are done, I'll release the update.

About update 3.0, I'm finishing the third part I mentioned in the last update. It's theoretically simpler and a bit shorter, but I had some difficulties with some scenes, in addition to the problems with the weather, so it took a bit longer than I expected. But I'm finishing the static part and moving on to the animations. Sorry for the update with nothing new; it had to be rushed, but I promise to bring more spoilers in the next ones. We'll have another update this Friday. Thanks for your attention, guys, and sorry again!

I'm confused.. Is your game officially out or do you just post your updates in here?

Hey man, the game is already released. Chapters 1 and 2 are out, I'm currently working on 3 and 2.5 which is a 'remake' of 1 with some improvements. If you want to take a look, you can access the game's thread or download it from

CH2.5 Changelog


Hey guys. So, the 2.5 update is coming out tomorrow, the last animation is almost finished, so I wanted to talk a bit about the changes in the update:

Remake Ch1: My biggest motivation was that chapter 1 had a much lower quality compared to 2 and 3, and this was bothering me, mainly because I want to open a page on itch.io and didn't want to release it like that. Since the chapter is quite short, I "remade" its render. The idea is not a complete remake, but just to improve the quality of the render itself, so the poses remain the same, and so does the content. The only thing I changed were the textures, some camera angles, the lighting, and post-work. It's FAR from perfect, and to be honest, when I finished, there were things I wanted to redo haha but since it was just to improve, I left it as it is. I posted some after and before(in this order) renders in so you can get an idea. The most important thing here was that I redid the animations of the chapter, making them longer and smoother. There are 2 of them that I still didn't like the final result, but as I said, the idea was not to spend too much time here, so it was the best I could do within the time frame I gave myself. I hope you like the changes.

CH2: In chapter 2, I made a new anal animation. The idea was to change the chapter so the player could choose the bets they were making, having the chance to win or not (unlike today where you always win), and if you won, you had the chance to return the money and thus unlock the anal. The problem is that when I tried to change these things, I ended up having many problems changing the renders, and it would take too much time to do it, so I just added the new animation, unfortunately without this gameplay component. Maybe in the future, I'll do a complete remake of chapters 1 and 2, expanding the story since the future chapters will be much longer, and then I'll add more gameplay.

GUI: Additionally, I removed the introduction of the stories where that "witch" talked a bit about them. My idea with this was to give more life to the stories and to make it easier to add more gameplay, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted, and I think it was more of a hindrance than a help, so I removed that part for now, and maybe in the future, I'll add it back. In its place, I added a screen so the player can choose which chapter they want to watch.

STATUS UPDATE CH3


Hey everyone. This week I've been working solely on the animations for the third part, trying to make increasingly larger animations, with some reaching up to 240 frames in this update. Although this does impact development time a bit, I think it makes the characters feel more alive and "organic". So far, one animation is finished, two are rendering, and one is in progress. There might still be two more animations in this part, but I'm still thinking about it.

Additionally, I started a new practice this week, creating more static renders. My idea is to set up an extras area in the game where these character renders will be available. Moreover, I want to start giving more value to my paying Patreons. I'm still figuring out the exact details, but for now, my Patreons will have access to the 4k version of these renders and will also get early access to them, probably 1 or 2 weeks in advance. For now, I'll produce one render per week to not impact the development, but in the future, I want to increase this quantity. The one I posted now is an example of this, and from next week onwards, they will be published on Patreon with a longer lead time.

That's it for today, folks. Thank you all for your attention, and see you next week.

STATUS UPDATE CH3

Hey everyone. This week I have some news. I'm finishing up the third part (I'm at the end of the last animation) and after that, I'll finally move on to the final part of the story. So, I'm thinking about assembling a team of beta-testers for this story. I'd like to get some opinions on how it's shaping up before I officially release it. For this initial test, I'd prefer a small team; I'm not sure of the exact number yet, but priority will be given to patrons and people who already have experience with this. For future stories, I plan to expand the team. So, if you're interested, send me a message here, and I'll explain more details about what I'm thinking. That's it for this week, folks. See you next week.

STATUS UPDATE CH3

Hey everyone, it's been a while since we last saw each other. Well, I messed up some time ago and ended up losing about 70% of the files for ch3. This got me really down, and I ended up feeling unmotivated for a while. But I managed to redo everything, and in the end, it turned out better than the first version, so it wasn't that bad after all.

Well, there's just one scene left to finish ch3, which is the final scene. I don't know yet how long it will be, but so far we have about 700 renders and 11 animations, totaling almost 2000 renders in the render queue haha.

It's worth mentioning that there are still some spots open for beta testers. I plan to release ch3 to the beta testers next Friday, so if anyone is still interested in helping the development of the game, just send me a DM.

STATUS UPDATE CH3


Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay, but I’m excited to announce that chapter 3 will be out this weekend.

The render queue was quite packed, but a friend offered to lend me his GPU so I could render on his machine. This way, we managed to render MUCH faster. In one day, we rendered an amount that would have taken almost a week on my setup.

So, only one animation is left to render. Tomorrow, I’ll integrate everything into the game and release it either by the end of the day or early Sunday.

Thanks for your patience and support!

Best regards to all!

Hey everyone. Today is the release of Chapter 3.

The final release includes 23 animations and approximately 600 renders, giving around 40 minutes of gameplay.

In this chapter, I aimed to take a step further by creating a minigame and 3 different endings: a bad ending, a good ending, and the best ending, which is the same as the good ending but with an extra scene for those who achieve a better relationship with Elie! So it's worth checking out.

Since I didn't have many playtesters, I REALLY need your help to find bugs or any other issues. So, please, if you find anything, contact me either through Patreon or our .

hi dude, we love the update..
especially the balance between the story, characters, scenes, and most importantly, not dragging out any part of the story too much. We don't want you to directly hint, but could you give us a clue about which character the next update will be about ?.

Man, actually, I can't because to be honest, I don't know either, haha. I'm still thinking about the future of the game. Tomorrow, I'm going to do the weekly update and talk about the next steps. But a possible spoiler is this: I launched the itch.io page today and this beauty of the cover will probably be there.

CH4 BIG NEWS
Hey everyone, today I bring important news about the next chapter.

After much thought, I decided to make some significant changes to the game. Currently, the game has two types of stories. Some short stories, lasting a maximum of 10 minutes, which are very straightforward. Other longer stories (for now, only chapter 3) that have about 40 minutes of gameplay.

Well, I want to create longer stories with more plot and character development because I feel that this is my weakest point right now. Therefore, starting from the next chapter, the stories will be longer. Much longer. They should range between 4 to 5 hours of gameplay (maybe more, maybe less, it's just an estimate) and will be released in parts instead of all at once. This way, I can work with more characters and create more complex dramas while releasing updates more consistently. I already have the first story practically written and I think it's turning out really well. The short stories will continue as they are, but they will be stories of secondary characters from the long stories. This way, I can create short stories that are very straightforward but with more depth. I think it's going to be really cool. Let's see how the next updates will be.

This week I started developing the characters for the next chapter. Next week, I'll start releasing some exclusive previews for my Patrons, so stay tuned! I hope you're all well and see you soon!

[Raw Magic™] animations are really impressive, and CH3 is brilliant. You mentioned before starting the project that you didn't have the skillsets, since then, did you have to teach yourself any specific softwares to make your animations? I'd like to learn.

CH4 STATUS UPDATE

Hey everyone. This week I continued writing the story and creating the characters. As I mentioned before, this story is going to be much bigger, with several characters. This week, I released the first character, Amber, for my patrons. Next week, I'll release another one, but I haven't decided which one yet.

As I said before, I'm going to release this episode in parts. I'm finishing up the writing for the first part this week, and then I'll have a better idea of the length, but it should be around 30 to 40 minutes of gameplay.

That's it for now. I haven't started rendering any scenes for the episode yet, just a few renders to test the characters and settings, along with some extra renders for my patrons.

Wishing you all the best, and see you next week.
