Please don't waste time working on 2 games at the same time, finish everything in unbroken first and then start a new project, I hate when devs do this, why can't you all finish one thing first? I love unbroken and I don't wanna wait 7 or more months for a new update because of a remaster of an old game.Latest report from the developer at Patreon:

No title screen this week, had a lot to get to this week and it fell a bit by the wayside my apologies. This update will be split into two parts because I don't want to bombard you with emails in one day. We'll have our usual check in and then a little something extra.
Writing hasn't changed since last week. Mostly finished with all my usual work, just waiting until my proofer gets back from his time away to bother him and get my final draft.
Renders are 1723 finished of the 1723 posed. Keeping up with these pretty well. I'd estimate I'm probably roughly halfway done with renders at this point. Speed will pick up now that writing is out of the way, and that's a rough estimate, so take it with some salt.
Animations are at 12, fixed the two I wasn't happy with last week and finished up another one, pretty satisfied with where these are at.
That's everything for Unbroken, now a quick little detour.
Today is a special day for me, it's actually the three year anniversary of the very first release for The Author. As horrifying as the ever marching passage of time is it also seems to be a good day to make the official announcement of, drumroll please...
The Author: Definitive Edition!
While most people in my Discord and elsewhere have been very aware this has been something I've been plugging away at in my spare time I've never really made a proper announcement of it. But once the current Unbroken update finishes up I only have a little more to complete. And finally the albatross will be off of my neck.
The new edition is a total facelift, with art more consistent with the quality of Unbroken. It will also have full animations, a soundtrack including some original songs written just for the game as well as general improvements. In the next few weeks or so I'm hoping to get my Steam page up, and you'll also start to see the Patreon and Discord getting ready. Of course I need to finish up my current Unbroken work before all this gets wrapped up so I guess I better get back to it. But I'll leave you with a little promo image I made, those who've been in my QAs might figure out what it means, and we get a little peek at all the remastered ladies.

Thank you as always for the support and I hope you all have a great rest of your week.
Sláinte!
Doesn't need touching.Thats good news.
The Author needs fixing in the writing department too, I wonder if he is going to re-write the plot a bit too.
He isn't working on a new game, he's adding the finishing touches to the first game.Please don't waste time working on 2 games at the same time, finish everything in unbroken first and then start a new project, I hate when devs do this, why can't you all finish one thing first?

I largely agree with that, I hope he will finish Unbroken before he starts re-working other stuff.author is in the past, this game is the present and the future.
dev switching his focus is the last thing i would wanna now.
god, no, just no!

and most of us appreciate the hell of out it... I'll freely admit I haven't paid for your games (or most AVNs I've played for that matter, with the exception of 1-2 games), but I respect the effort you put into your games and wish you good luckNormally I stay out of things, but I'm just gonna nip this in the bud before it spirals. As I stated in the post itself, this has been a project I've been working on in my personal time, since literally before I even started Unbroken. Hence why it's taken two years to remaster, it's already almost done. As I stated, once this current update of Unbroken finishes and I take my usual week for myself I should be able to finish up the last bit of work needed during that time. You're worried about a project that is essentially already done. I've been very open forever in my community that this was something I was plugging away at, but that Unbroken always has been the priority. It was only announced "officially" because it's close enough to finished that I felt comfortable letting people know.
TLDR: This is something I've been working on for years on my days off. It's almost done, hoping to use my between update break to finish it completely. Now back to my regularly scheduled Unbroken work.
I was looking for info regarding update and it's the first thing I see. Fuck. I love this forum.
I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about this. I don't mind STWAdev taking time off to work on the overhaul, but the artwork in the promo doesn't look better as much as it looks higher resolution. The girls themselves are a rather different and IMHO a little bland. That's probably not a fair comparison (especially since it might be an side-effect of the broken glass motif), but I've long felt the art in The Unbroken is just less lively than it was in The Author. *Some* of that can be blamed on Valentine's PTSD, but not all of it. I'll try to keep an open mind, but I'm not excited by the news.Latest report from the developer at Patreon:

that's very very very unlikely.maybe after finish the unbroken you can add a harem path to the writer......i know ....im only dreamig but maybe in a distant future?
just go after everyone? Then you don't need to pick and choose... none of LIs are really off-putting at least for me so that makes it easierDoes anyone else have the issue where you are invested in the overall story but you honestly can't remember who you are romancing? Every update I am at a loss as to which of these women I am trying to go after, if at all. I have to use process of elimination to come up with a list of possible suspects but even then I can't rule out the idea that I may have done a "pervemon" and tried to collect them all.
Eh, I'm wound too tight. I have issues with a coach being in a relationship with his student, or a client being in a relationship with his lawyer, or a "big brother figure" being in a relationship with his "kid sister figure"...It's all about power deferentials (and I only care because I actually care about the characters, I don't have those compunctions in other "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" types). But that still leaves me with 2-3 other characters and I can't remember which of those three was tops on my list. I'd make a note somewhere but I'd probably lose the note and, when the wife found it, have a lot of "splainin' to do"...just go after everyone? Then you don't need to pick any choose... none of LIs are really off-putting at least for me so that makes it easier
I take notes for every game I play; I store those notes in separate files for each game in a dedicated folder. These notes contain the descriptions of characters, as well as choices made, and for some games a whole lot more.Does anyone else have the issue where you are invested in the overall story but you honestly can't remember who you are romancing?

i am with you there lol. many harem games are that way for me. i get the new update after some months, and i am like..oh yeah who am i fucking again?Does anyone else have the issue where you are invested in the overall story but you honestly can't remember who you are romancing?

Jeez that's dedication, J. Edgar would've been proudI take notes for every game I play; I store those notes in separate files for each game in a dedicated folder. These notes contain the descriptions of characters, as well as choices made, and for some games a whole lot more.
Sure makes it a lot easier when you play a bunch of them, even if the creation of those notes takes some time.
This update definitely needed more checks before letting Clara get deflowered by just anyone. Like with Chaz, there should've been checks on the previous scenes with her and Chaz, if they weren't there she shouldn't have done it. At least with Sabatian there was the line that all he had to do was pay her, but that line along with her revealing how much money she had earlier in the day lends to the belief that Clara has been doing stuff the MC isn't aware of, and I'm kind of wondering if she really was a virgin or if MC is assuming so.
Clara hasn't mentioned her virginity since early in the game when she said it was a reason her and Gordon broke up. And she specifically avoided answering questions about her virginity during the game.
Clara gets seduction points at jakson sceens

MC is always doing stuff with the many girls who know or have known or wanna know him,Jeez that's dedication, J. Edgar would've been proud.
Out of curiosity, how big is that file for BaD ? 75MB ?.
