Yes, I was always trying to work on the game as much as I could. I also had to work other jobs, all kinds, in the meantime to somehow get by and it all takes up a big amount of time. Any medical issues also add up the time required and even though I appreciate my co-partner that helps me with programing and a million other things, at the end of the day all the art assets and animations have to be done by me.
After long amounts of time I just had nothing to say other then - sorry, I'm working, I know it's been long and I don't want to release something I'm not satisfied with - so I just become quiet again.
I cannot, and I don't hold anything against people that stopped believing that, because I could see myself doing the same. At the end of the day, for people that know me personally it's easy to believe what I'm saying, but believing someone online without knowing them for that amount of time is something completely different.
Right now I had cleared a lot of things in my life so i can focus more again, and I can see that lasting a long time, thankfully. Thank you for the interest in the game and just being here!

If only every developer could be as honest, polite and down to earth as you.
amelia clothes thing isnt working ive tried everything even starting a new game. always check the window to make sure shes there, then hide, then peep, and whenever i check her room whether its at noon or evening shes fully clothed and berates me for interrupting her work
Some scenes have been removed (maybe only temporary but that depends on Tjop) another scene removed is peeking at Naeyvs during the night run into the mansion.

completely disagree. I think they look great considering the amount of detail in the art. If the dev made perfect animations it would take ages.

Dev I work on many different projects at a time at work and it can be easy to get overwhelmed which will slow you down. Especially when people are being negative and questioning your commitment. This can cripple your work and cause burnout.
Please don't stress about the game or pleasing people, just work at a manageable pace that you are comfortable with and know that there are hundreds of people like me who are just grateful you blessed us with this piece of art and are happy to wait for however long it takes!
We are so happy you are still working on this project!

That's a strange statement. Animations are either good or they're not. And it doesn't depend on any "if onlys." Low-FPS animations aren't good. It's that simple.

The sincerity is good enough to support this dev. I can count in one hand the amount of devs this sincere. Keep up the good work, and there's no pressure. I'm happy this game gets revived. Life is hard enough nowadays, don't sweat it on some players don't understand this, most players are pretty understanding that your real life work comes first. Btw I edited my review from 2 years ago. Keep going dev.
Latest from Patreon:
I have to talk.
Hey, everyone. As always, I really hope you're having a good day.
I want to be brief today. -
I'm sorry about not pushing the update yet. As you know, the plan was to release it 2-3 weeks ago already but I got really sick right at the end (It's just that time of year). Because of that, I couldn't put nearly any work in the last 12 days, so that's why I was absent for longer.
I will pull up some pictures I'm pretty proud of to show what I did in the meantime. If you're curious about the orc, she will just be another enemy but later she's gonna be used with the other ore girl for the outpost quests. I need to do the clothing after I upload the update so she's gonna wait for now.
Anyhow - I'm still getting back into it now so if you're looking forward to try it out, the update is going to be in a few days. Thank you for the patience and support.
And.... see you again soon!
Tjop!

0.9 is updated .From the Patreon:Hey everyone. I hope you're having a really nice weekend.
We took even more days to polish and test. More than we first planned. There will always be some issue that might finds it's way inside though. We will try to patch any bug you might find and upload the new file in the discord server under "latest-fixes".
MY SINCERE RECOMMENDATION - if you have played the last version (0,08) you won't find new story parts or quests so I would suggest to only play it if you're eager to see new animations and art. In my opinion, waiting for the next update (0,10) will be a more worth playing experience.
What's new in this upadate?
To trigger all the new scenes: 1.Go to the throneroom at midnight after you've completed the Queen's questline. There are multiple scenes so you can go more times at midnight there. 2.Go to the desert fields of Beyond and navigate north-east to encounter the new enemy. 3.For the last ones, after getting the first scenes in Helena's story they will trigger automatically over the next few days of sleeping.
Lastly, I want to say that we did update the engine, which wasn't that easy. It will now not support some much older versions of android and windows older then 10. I'm not sure if and how many of you might be using much older operating systems but we had to make this step because of severe limitations we were under. The game is running much smoother now because of all the optimizations.
Thank you for your reading and following this project for many years now. I can't imagine what I'd do without this and your support. I'll see you soon, Tjop!

What's new in this upadate?
- 2 side characters (one is a goblin, the other one you can find in the palace throneroom)
- an overhaul for the notebook, a "character description" section (Variable counting like "x jobs given" have not yet been fully implemented atm. I had to leave it for the next update because it takes a LOT of time.)
- The combat has been clened up, it now shows much more info
- added repellent potions to skip early enemies like boars and harpys.
- Navigating through the Beyond now has a clear new menu and is much smoother
- added 3 animations with lots of variations and flavour
- Game now has a "futa" option that makes certain scenes (1 for now) use a different model. This can be switched on and off at any point inside "preferences"
- All models of Emily and the Witch have been remade and are now much more up to date

I've been taking a look for hours trying to figure this one out, it was really tricky. Sometimes if you bought stone before you need it a quest wont trigger correctly, it's very silly. I'm really really sorry about this, I'm trying to test and prevent issues very often but there will always be something getting through. It's my fault.
I have made this fix for you which should hopefully make the quest activate properly. You can just rewrite the file in your "games" folder. THEN - you need to go talk to the Keeper in his mansion again and ask "So what are those beacons you mentioned, can they be crafted somehow?". Then the new quest should be active and you can finish all the Emily/Witch trials which after you finish them all will result in Amelia giving you a compass when you return home.
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I would be really sad if you don't experience the rest of the game since it only gets better from there. If you encounter any other issues I'll try to help, and if this fix doesn't help you I will just edit your save file so no worries.
