No, this is the “MaliXemas” mini-game, in the Valentine's version. Zero28 mod the game somehow to position the camera at different angles.
Hello! Do you have an idea of when the next version of the game will be released? Will there be incest in the game? I hope so!

Hi. Calculating the time is very difficult because my daily time to work on the game is limited, and I often encounter a problem that takes me a whole week to solve.

I'm focused on making the game editor as functional as possible so that it's easier to add content in the future. What I can promise is that as soon as I manage to deliver the next update, the following updates will come in a very short time due to the work I'm doing at the moment.

Regarding incest, I think I've already mentioned it here, but to reiterate: The focus of the story is the four characters who are not related. I wouldn't want someone to make a mod that changed the relationships between the characters in the text, because that would totally break the sense of the story.

But from the outset, I thought of implying incestuous relationships between secondary characters. Patreon allows incest as long as it's not the focus of the story and it's not explicitly shown, like in Game of Thrones, and that's very much in line with my vision for S4H.

But I want to create extra content developing these relationships that will only be hinted at in S4H. If I manage to do that, this content will be published only on SubscribeStar. And this will depend on demand because, as I explained, my daily time is limited.

why is it marked as abandonned? i get updates from you all the time.
The site has rules for considering a game abandoned. It's probably because I've passed the time limit between releasing new versions. But I'm working on it. These last few months have been more complicated, but I'm managing to sort it out. They'll remove the abandoned tag once I post a new version.

hey, how is it going everything? any news you can give us about next update? :)
Hello, thanks for asking.

To explain briefly, I've been developing the editor alongside the game, but I need to finish the editor before I can add any real content, or I'll need to redo the work if I need to change the system, hence this long pause (I didn't expect it to take this long; unfortunately, I couldn't foresee all the setbacks).

At the end of last year, I believed the editor was ready. I made some minigames that worked well using the game's system. However, when I started editing, I realized the need to make changes to make it easier to use.

After the changes and before starting work on the entire game, I decided to redo the three demos, which are sections with different elements that encompass everything I need to test in the editor. While I'm working on these demos, I'm testing and fixing each component of the system. I've been sharing the progress on the Discord channel; if you're interested, check it out.

Once these demos are ready, the system and editor will be too, and I'll be able to focus on the game's content. This time, however, I don't plan on cutting content, as I did in previous versions, to shorten the time between updates. I'll include all the characters and situations necessary to make the game and story interesting.

So, it will still take some time to release the game, but much less than it's taking me to finish these demos, because the system will be ready, and I'll only need to worry about the story, design, and animations.

hey MaliXe you last report in patreon was in may, can u update me?
Hello,

I just finished the corrections on the latest demo. I had already finished it before, more than once, but the corrections I had made caused side effects in other parts of the game. This is normal at this stage. I will have to test everything again to make sure everything is OK.

Now I have more time on the weekends. I'll most likely have the demos ready next weekend. I would have finished them last weekend, but a health issue prevented me from doing so.

As soon as the demos are ready, I plan to release them to all supporters. A public version will come a little later.

Right now, I'm in the middle of a storm with problems coming from several fronts. I'm doing my best to get everything in order as quickly as possible. As soon as I achieve some normality, I want to post content regularly. I just ask for a little more patience during this difficult time.

I released the first demo on Patreon and Subscribestar. I also made the link available to those who have already purchased the game on Ichi.io.

Please note that this is only a demo and a test version. The public version will be released later with corrections and additions.

I will release two more demos in the coming days.

Thank you all.

Hello everyone,

Due to a security patch, I have made the latest published version available for free. It is not a content update, just a security fix for those who haven't played yet or want to revisit. I have also made some of the minigames available, so it's an opportunity for anyone who wants to try them out.

It is just a demo, but it gives you an idea of the direction of development and allows you to test it and give me feedback.

Two more demos will be coming in the next few days.

Thank you!
