Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while since I last posted here. The next chapter of the AVN is much more complex than the previous ones, so it’s taking longer than I originally thought. I’ve been focusing all my efforts on finishing it as quickly as possible without compromising quality, which is why I’ve been posting most of the updates on Patreon. It’s also a way to give something back to the people who support me there, even though the content is a bit limited at the moment.

But don’t worry, in a few days, I’ll be releasing an intermediate episode 3.5. It won’t be anything too groundbreaking or major, but there will be some improvements to the game overall and a few spoilers for the next one. When that happens, I’ll also post a summary here about the development of Chapter 4, along with some renders from the game.

As for the teaser I posted on Patreon, it’s not exclusive—I’ve shared it elsewhere too. But like I mentioned there, it’s still not finished; it’s just a "proof of concept," so there are still some rough spots. I didn’t make it public because of that, and I only posted it there to get some feedback. If anyone wants to see it, DM me and I’ll send you the link. Just please don’t share it too anyone—I don’t want this draft to spread too far. I’ll make the final version public once it's ready.

Hey everyone! As promised, I’m here with some exciting news about the next chapter.

The biggest update is that the game is going through a major change! It will no longer be an anthology. Starting with the next release, the game will follow a single, continuous story divided into episodes—just like most other games. With this change, the game will also be getting a new name: The Red Veil. So instead of referring to the next chapter as Chapter 4, I’m now calling it The Red Veil - Episode 1.

There are several reasons behind this decision, and for those who, like me, enjoy short stories, don’t worry—there will still be some smaller side stories in the game. I’ve explained everything in detail in , so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out!

Now, about the game’s progress—we’re about 60% done. I know that might not sound like much considering how long it’s been in development, but because of this big shift, I had to create all-new characters (and there are a lot of them), new environments (even more of those), and write a significant portion of the story. All of this took a lot of time. On top of that, I ran into some personal issues early in development, which forced me to pause for a while.

That said, the final 40% of development will be much faster than the first half, so don’t worry—it won’t take another six months for you to play the game!

For this first episode, I’m really focusing on improving the quality of the renders because I want this game to look great right from the start. So far, I’m really happy with the results! Here are a few sneak peeks—let me know what you think!

Another important update—I’m releasing Chapter 3.5 today! While there’s no new story content, this update includes some highly requested features, like a gallery. I’ve also added some extra renders, made a few changes to the minigame, and included more music (though I’ll be honest, I’m terrible with music, so I’m not sure how well that part turned out ).
On top of that, there’s also a teaser trailer I created for Chapter 4!
Stay tuned on Patreon—it’ll be available in just a few hours!

Pinocchio is turning into a real boy? Awesome!
Does that mean there will be more Ellie in the future? If so I don't think her model needs updating

Yes, it will take a little while, but she will be back! To be honest, I liked her model too much not to use it again hahaha. She will appear again in episode 3 and will be a secondary character in the story.

...know what you think!
My advice is don't delete the previous content. You can just leave them there.
From the few articles you posted before, I can feel that you are not satisfied with the content of the first two chapters.
But as long as players(like me) are satisfied, they should be kept.
For new chapters,I wait until have experienced them before comment. It would be incomplete to comment on them just by looking at a few pictures.
