Hey everyone,
I didn't just want to spend the time with this latest news post checking in with the usual 'yep, we're still working on it,' so I thought I'd try give a more in-depth talk into how things are going.

This update has taken a lot longer than we've wanted, mostly because we've been juggling and revamping the old content while simultanenously trying to add fresh new stuff. Thankfully, most of the revamp work has been done now with only Kiara's character model really left to be revamped, and a few other small things.

The new content is being churned out and implemented as fast as we can, this will be the most 'RPG' heavy quest so far with lots of different ways to not only tackle the quest, but it'll have lasting impacts depending on whatever decisions you make.
On the coding front, we're still working hard to try implement a lot of the core features, given the technical scale of the game so far, this has proven challenging but rewarding. We're looking forward to showing you guys things when they're done and ready.

Now the question you all want to ask...When is the update coming out? The answer...Is likely sometime in August - Though there is a possibility we may release before then, we're keeping August as the safe bet.

This is a massive step for us, this update will improve the game not only on every level we hope, but will be our steam launch, and we plan to follow it up with a series of short, content based updates very quickly now we've nearly got some of the heavy lifting done.

If you have any questions about things, feel free to ask them in the comments below or over on the Discord!

I'd like to thank everyone whose still supporting us so far or is considering supporting us,
Your support means the world to us here at Damned Studios, and none of this would be possible without you guys. We know you've put a lot of faith in us and come hell or high water, we're gonna soldier on!

Now, speaking of bandits...
The Black Diamond has become quite the hive of villiany...But you know you have to deal with Tarek one way or another.
With the Black Diamond armed like a small fortress, Tarek keeps a tight grip over his loose connection of vicious bandit gangs who use the place as a homebase.
What's your next move, Adventurer?

Yep, we've tracked it down & workin on it. The cause itself is a rather nasty programming-side issue but we'll get the .apk back up & running again. Sorry for the inconv, reason this slipped out is, tight timeframes & "why test .apk it always worked anyway"
Wont happen again >.<

I played it almost a year ago and i remember Adara looking differently. Wtf happened to her? Too many magical botox injections?

Price you've gotta pay if you want consistent artwork :<
Tough to find an artist to stay on board for long.

.apk's fixed, this monthly it'll be back up again ^.^

I dont get why you are using Ren'py if you got a team and solid income why not just use Unity and whip proper game? This smells like money milking to me.

We decided to go for renpy following the assurance and advice of our then current coder that renpy could do everything we wanted, Unity was considered.

Since then, he has stepped down from the role of main coder, and two other coders have stepped forward, Shiande and TheMaskedMan, who are working to elevate the game properly and have both done a excellent job so far.

In retrospect, I dont know if we would have chosen Unity or not if I could go back in time, but Ren'py so far, is serving us well enough.

You will always find some that only wants games/VN on Unity and hate Ren'PY being used.

Dude what you do here wasn't you working on Taffy Tales ?

I work on both.
The difference is this is my independent project where I tell the story I want.

There is always a fanboy who finds concerns/questions as a targeted haters campaign on something

I used Joiplay on Android and downloaded the windows version but it doesn't work with this game. I get a loading screen for 10 seconds and then I get kicked out. Anyone know what the problemen is and how I'd might fix it?

 

[Oiiink]

Really enjoyed this one. Gripping story and actually made me laugh at times. The only thing really bothers me is the characters doesn't look same at all on some renders.

Had tried this when it was just the prologue.
Downloaded it again and started playing ngl lie in opening of ACT I, I swear I was waiting to see Markus just into a girl instead.
I mean it would have made sense kinda coz black make mc manlier soooo white well
