Development update #38


Hello everyone,

This Dev update is public today because I want to make an announcement to all of you.

I have to slow down the development of the game Secrets. I don't have time to make that game something else than a hobby. I tried... I did, with all my strength, with all my heart, but with my daytime job now at home, my kids' school now at home, and my personal life not so great because I'm working on the game every week-end doing nothing else and it has begun to bother my wife and kids not to be able to see or doing things with their father other than school.

So I'm going back to work on this game as a hobby only and not as a game in development and definitely not as a game where I have the right to ask for donations for its development.

On June the 30th, I'm going to close this Patreon, the Gumroad shop, the Twitter and Discord account, and the website. I will add all $10 Patrons to an email list I will use to send the game updates as soon as I made some.

Concretely, if you're a $10 Patron on June the 30th, you will receive the game for free in your email box. You will receive it in parts, it could be a full episode, or just a scene, depending on how much I was able to do.

After the 30th, I won't accept anymore payment and the game will be reserved to people already customers and former Patrons. I will only send news and updates to this group.

I'm not stopping the development of the game, I will never stop it. But if I want to go on with this game, I have to adapt its development to be compatible with my personal life.

I hope you will understand my choice, it was that or abandoning the development of the game, which I don't want for all the people who trusted me on this one.

So now the game will be free of charges :) You already made payment for it and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Eric

Any news when the next update comes out? His website doesn't say anything and maybe this is on my end but he doesn't seem to have a patreon anymore.
Literally 6 posts above yours.. So no it's not you, he closed down his Patreon page. :(

Which is a real shame. I really enjoyed this game and was looking forward to future development. What is gonna happen with this thread? and how might interested parties who didn't get to support this in time stay informed?

Forgive me if it's been mentioned before, but the Mega link is dead.
other links are fine and there is a working mega link in compressed version.
anyway, report the OP/the first post, state the reason (mega link dead), and it should be renewed.

Unlike some stupid & bullshit VNs, both Femdom & lesbianism are avoidable here. I love it

So, is the game gonna get the abandoned or on-hold tag? the dev had said they would delete their Patreon and only some of the people who pledged at that point would receive updates via email, so we kinda have to hope for someone to make it available here, still, it is uncertain, unless a mod is gonna do it.

Great game with a compelling story. A shame that it's paused—it's rare to find such games, esp. if you can play them for free.
