In the beginning, you had a very clear vision that incest would not happen, and Camila followed the same ideal. But today, in the current situation of the game, you play with us, you can feel that for her it is about to happen, and the one who is undecided is the MC. For us, for the fans, make it happen, even if it is as a farewell for the next game.

Just a quick post to end the weekend. I have mentioned that I am slowly running out of music choices that I like. Well, as much as I hate AI stuff, with music I just have no other way right now (that I can afford). So I'm giving this a try. Seems pretty damn cool so far. But I spent quite a long time changing this damn song until I got it figured out.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think in the comments below. If you guys hate the idea of using AI to get music, I'll keep looking for new options. It's just that my sources for audio are not cheap and many others are even more expensive.
While I'm here, I did start coding Serenity C2: episode 5. First devlog will be posted later this week. Love you all! -Fire

i love it... i think you should use it. Sounds like Suno... I make music on there too. If you are using Suno, make sure you are using v4.5 so you dont get many artifacts in the higher freq.

Yeah, that's what I'm using. And also 4.5. The sound quality still isn't as good as my other music but I think it'll be fine.
it isnt perfect... but i am having a blast making my own music... especially since i cannot carry a tune in a bucket. And honestly, if you can match the story and scene with it, i dont think it really matters. The music really helps tell the story.
Can I ask something? Is the segs scene in chapter 2 the same as in chapter 1? If so, to be honest, it was quite underwhelming :')
It was O.K. However, the choruses after the first one sounded a bit thin and not filled out. And frankly, I did not care for the key shift in the final closing chorus.
I like music in VNs, but prefer instrumentals over lyrics. When there is a singer, I tend to want to pay attention to the words and lose focus on the story. Proper instrumentals don't fade into the background, but provide an "emotional" backdrop to the scenes. for instance, check out how the different tunes for the three characters in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly make you feel about the characters.

Still trying to learn how to communicate on F95. When looking into the review section, I really appreciate the long five star one of kimatsoo500 - or so. Fits perfectly to my opinion. What I'd like to add: Happy to see this as a novel, like books in the past/present, telling a story and having this development of characters, good/bad. The combination of the two chapters of serenity with last human is really a catch. Loved to watch the AVN very much

Hello everyone!
I know I have been pretty quiet for a while. I have a few things to talk about so just stick with me here. The last few months have been pretty crappy. First with wife being let go from her job recently (putting a huge damper on our finances), then the car accident. I got really sick over the last couple of weeks (3 freaking times in a row). We lost internet for 4 days then a few days ago, the power company sent a contractor to replace the pole in my backyard. So we had no power all day long. Then when the idiots were pulling out at the end of the day, the fuckers knocked down the cable that feeds internet to my house. It has been a maddening, annoying and frustrating month. Yesterday, I waited for a tech to come out and put a new line up. With all that has been going on, I took a lot longer break than I wanted to. Regardless, I still managed to start some coding for the next episode a couple of weeks ago while laid up in bed using my laptop. I've been randomly active on Discord, but just hadn't been posting or really working on anything. Now that things are seemingly back to normal, let's cover a few quick topics.
AI MUSIC - I've decided to use it, but very sparingly. Only when I need a piece of music and can't find one I like from my current resources. It is possible that in future updates, if I've used a piece of AI music, I could find a better track and replace it.
I have received a lot of messages asking about the Camilla game. It is going to happen and I have already written an outline for that project. However, I will not work on it heavily until the end of Serenity. So, it is still a little ways off. Camilla will be a short AVN, probably released in 4 large updates (episodes). I am projecting about 2000 images per episode, plus animations. It will have plenty of content, but just shorter than my main projects. It will use a lot of the same music from Serenity so it will have a very similar vibe, but it will definitely be a lot more focused on character development. I think that covers most of the questions I've been asked about it.
As for where I am on the Serenity update, my best guess is about 40% coding is completed right now. It shouldn't take me long to finish that and get started on rendering graphicis and animations. Thankfully, this one won't have a ton of animations - but I do want to throw a few in there like I have been doing with Last Human (not just for sex scenes).
Last month I passed 300 patrons, which was the first time I broke 300 I think. It's back down now but that's to be expected. I remember when I first broke 100 patrons LOL. You guys are the best, keep spreading the word. At the end of all this, we'll hopefully have a nice group of VN's that are slightly connected, creating our own "multiverse" of lives. The "God of wishes and dreams" will inevitably be mentioned in my future stories where characters make wishes and we might see Serenity characters make small appearances. This was a question I also got asked a few times.
The image is a preview of a couple of the girls with the armor they'll be wearing in Anastasia's dungeon.

Hey everyone,
As I posted in my last devlog, I've been dealing with random BS over the last 2 months. And right now, I am stuck in a stupid round of creativity block and only a third of the way into coding/writing. More or less... writer's block. This doesn't happen to me often, but when it does, it is super annoying. I know you all have been waiting patiently for the next Serenity episode. I am considering shifting back to Last Human and do another episode for that one because I already have the next episode for episode 6 completely outlined. I'd need to write that one too, but I KNOW what is going to happen (the creative part of it is done... just needs to be 'worded'. These last few episodes of Serenity are, well they're a lot. A lot is going on and I need to be careful how I proceed because I don't want to leave you all with a shitty ending. I've done this before, where I ended up doing 2 episodes in a row on one of my games. I think it is time for me to play that card again and let Serenity cook a big. It will give me time to figure out how to get through the bunch of story blocks that need to take place.
Last Human: Episode 6 already has a great outline for a story that I am excited about. The episode will basically be their first adventure on the Aurora and takes place when they visit Acladia. Each LH adventure may be inspired by other stories from games, shows, movies I have seen, and this one has an interesting inspiration that most of you younger folks probably won't know anything about. Back in September of 2000, a Star Trek game released that was ahead of its time. Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. I won't tell you what happens in the game, but if you know the game already then you'll have an idea. LH Episode 6 will have a 'similar' situation our Captain and crew will have to deal with. I don't know if I will stretch it into 2 episodes or not, I think I can get it done in one episode, but we'll see. The outline for it is a bit longer than my usual outlines. It also coincides with their visit to Acladia to meet the Acladean Ambassador: Vlanna. It's a great episode.
Now, I could just try to push through this block that's going on and try to stick with the Serenity update, but these things are unpredictable. Maybe playing through my game as a dev friend suggested might help, I don't know. But I feel like I could knock out the LH episode a bit quicker if I get started on it now. But what do you think? Vote on it... I'm making this a public post so anyone can vote. I don't know if your votes will direct which way I decide to go unless it is overwhelmingly for one side or the other. But I'd like to know what the general consensus is. We'll run this vote for, let's say 2 days. Because if I decide to go with LH, I'd want to get started right away. But if the majority would prefer to wait for me to figure out Serenity, then I might decide to go with your feelings on the matter. Your feedback matters to me, after all.
So, please vote! And leave a comment if you feel like it. I appreciate your patience with me and your continued support! Love you all, ...Fire

Focus on what you feel will be productive. You'll gradually discover this... forcing something at this moment won't bring any benefits; quite the contrary, it could actually harm you.
