There's something wrong with it then, because you keep making the "i" mistake even here.

Haha, no. That's just me being lazy to change it, I do see the red lines where it pops up. See?

Lazy, I understand, but that's not it... that's disrespect. And for someone that wants (purports to at least) to be a content creator... that's a BIG no-no.

Peace

So? Go to sleep if that's what you need, instead of arguing if the "I" should be capitalized or not... or saying that you have a tool that corrects your writing, but you ignore it... because there's some hours on a clock...

Public Dev Log #1

Hi everyone!

Response to the game has been pretty solid so far for a first release here and on

You must be registered to see the links

but I have noticed a few people asked if there was to be a male LI or is it only female. I wanted to clarify this once again, even though the male didn't show up in the prologue there is a male LI. He will first show up in the upcoming Chapter 1 but unlike the almost instant lewd interaction with the female (this was due to her heightened senses that vampirism causes) the player was given a choice right here in the prologue to ''help her out'' or not. However for a male LI, it will be a bit of a slower burn because some events in the story have to happen in order for that relationship to start growing. This may disappoint some as some people want things right away and that's perfectly understandable. So for chapter one if you are on solo path there will be at some point in the chapter an option for you (it's always a choice in my game) if you want to engage in some fun with not one, but two male characters, at the same time! But keep in mind that casual one time interactions such as this one are only available on solo path due to the way I'm telling my story. Basically, you are playing three games in one, as each path is very distinct with different dialogue, different story directions and sometimes different situations. This is one of those cases.

Now for the characters. So far I have revealed two new characters out of four that will show up for the first time in Chapter 1 and will complete the main cast, these being the male LI Miles and another female Yuna who will only be available on solo path in a one time threesome interaction alongside her partner, because she will never be willing to cheat, but they are willing to bring in a third on occasion.

I already revealed these two to my patrons so might as well show them to you guys on here as well:

This is a male LI Miles:


And here we have Yuna, a social media influencer with a BDSM fetish:






I hope you like these new characters!

In the coming weeks as I reveal more to my paid patrons, I will drop the other two characters here as well.

Otherwise, the work on chapter 1 is progressing well, the script is fully written and turns out that due to the amount of story I need to tell in this chapter in order to help acclimate the MC to the new millennia I have decided to increase the length of the chapter from the normal 1 hour of reading across all paths like it was in the prologue to close to 3 hours, so you could say 1 hour per path! This also means more renders and more work for me but has to be done and I'm sure no one will complain about more content haha. On renders front, I have finished fully rendering in 4k two out of six scenes for all paths that will take place in this chapter and I'm currently working on the third so almost half way there!

Here is a little sneak peak of one such scene:



Unfortunately last week I had a mishap with a corrupted scene file so I lost about 50 or so renders and that entire scene setup so I had to redo it all over again from memory but happy to report that this has been done and I even made some improvements to it and am now in the process of working on those lost renders again. And it was a custom built set too so it took some work but I got it done. But that's development for you, sometimes unforeseen circumstances will happen. But the issue has been corrected (it was a faulty drive so now I moved the project to a new SSD) so hopefully this doesn't happen again any time soon.

Here is a sneak peak of now recreated set where a portion of this chapter will take place and is a recurring location for future chapters as well so I wanted to give it some extra personal touch.



As you see, I made an entire custom building around it so it can be explored from all sides in future chapters. And here is inside. The location can be accessed seamlessly from the outside, no fakery being done and you can also see the entire neighborhood from inside, this is all one massive scene consisting of three city blocks. I did it this way because this will be a recurring location so I wanted to get the prep work done right away to make it easier on myself for the future chapters.



So overall, the work on chapter 1 is ongoing and progress is being made each day. I can't put down a date of release just yet as there is still a lot of rendering left to do but I'm roughly hoping for sometime next month if all goes according to plan (which it rarely does let's be honest).

That's it for the first public dev log, I hope you like these, I will try to do these at least once a month for my free followers while my paid patrons will still get weekly updates so (shameless plug) if you feel like you want to support the project,

There won't be a harem route, this is first and foremost a romantic love story. On solo route you will be able to have casual sexual encounters with some other characters but it won't affect the endings

yo fui a verlo en patreon pero no entedi me perdi la unica es la v 1.2 que ya la tengo bueno espero con ancias la nueva vercion

Actualmente estoy pensando en agregar otros idiomas al juego y el español probablemente será uno de ellos, así que espero que esto te ayude a comprender más en el futuro.

Thx for sharing and giving some directions what to look out for.

Very good that you will give the option to completely avoid dicks. Please keep a pure lesbian path available.

Cheers!

Pure lesbian path isn't going anywhere, don't worry. It is one of the main story paths after all

Great work on the game so far, especially on your first one! I read most of the forum, and while some people are giving constructive feedback, other people are just being weird. Like calling using "i" instead of "I", disrespectful, and having disdain for the English language is actually crazy. Some people appreciate what you are making here, and I hope you don't get burned out or stop reading feedback because of those few annoying people.

Thanx, appreciate it! What can I say, can't please everyone. All I can do is try to improve the best I can. I take all feedback into consideration. Some points are valid and can be improved upon easily while others would take too much time or money to do so. I can only do so much. I am just one person after all. All I can say that the upcoming chapter has already addressed most of the feedback, we will see what people think once that is out, sometime next month most likely.

Now, what you can expect in this chapter:

• 607 renders (849 total)
• 4 lewd animations (8 total)
• 42645 words (56337 total)
• 5022 lines of dialogue (5973 total)

• 4 new music tracks (15 total)
• 6 new SFX (19 total)
• new translations (Spanish and French, AI translated-feedback welcome)
• gallery rework consisting of 30 normal and 6 custom entries
• prologue render fixes

I will drop a full changelog next week prior to the release so you can see in more detail about new changes.

With that out of the way, on to the dev log itself!

It has certainly been an interesting month of development. But the chapter is fully finished now with testing and bug fixes currently underway. We had some pitfalls to overcome with rendering and especially in animation front, which I'm still not very comfortable doing, Daz is just a pain in the but to work with when it comes to animations. That said, in chapter 1 you will be able to hopefully see some improvement as I'm learning new things. For one, this time I didn't use templates for animations, I made them completely from scratch one frame at a time. While far from perfect, I am happy that I was able to learn something new during this process and I would like to think that progress has been made. This time, animation focus was on optional FMM interaction on solo path only this time around. Unfortunately due to my aging hardware animations are very difficult for me to get right and take a long time to render so it will likely always be a low number of them, at least for now but we will see what the future holds.

In rendering front, 607 total new still renders have been made, that is a significant increase for me compared to the prologue which had 230. These are all unique, so no repeats! It was an extra work for me but I ultimately think it was worth the extra effort even though as a result the update took longer than I originally anticipated.

This update consists of 12 new locations which you will able to visit with our protagonist! One of these locations in particular I did a lot of manual customization on (the bar) and I have put together an entire neighborhood around it which will serve as some locations in the future as well. This was a bit taxing for my aging hardware to render out but I managed in the end to get it done even though I had to make some sacrifices in order to do so due to memory constrains. Personally I would have liked to do more but it is what it is.

In terms of characters, In this chapter you will be able to find 4 new main characters and 6 new support characters. Here are the main 4:



Yuna especially, is the most custom of them who as you see has a lot of tattoos and piercings that I have manually placed, and she will have a special feature in this VN where she will have different hairstyle with each new update she will be in (I have written this into her character story).

In terms of story delivery, as you see from statistics, this time around most of it will be through dialogue rather than narration like it was the case in the prologue and I tried to keep these interactions to be believable as possible. Even added some crude humor here and there.

The story of this chapter will focus on acclimating the MC to the modern world with Clara as her guide and getting to know some fresh faces who will be in this story. Some new background stories about these characters will be revealed and also some possible hints about the future story may be dropped so I encourage you to pay attention and feel free to speculate. Second part of the chapter will focus on the mystery element where some things will also be revealed and the overall story will start to take shape.

Overall, this chapter is roughly three times larger than what prologue was. While originally I wanted to keep every chapter to about an hour long, in this chapter I had much to say and reveal, not only about the characters but also where the story may be heading. That said, don't expect every future chapter to be this long, some will be longer like this one but some may be shorter like the prologue but I'm always trying to have at least an hour worth of reading. This time we are close to three hours depending on your reading speed. Ofc, this is across all paths so it's safer to say that it is about 1 hour per path.

In this chapter you will have to start juggling your Good vs. Evil points as well as relationship points, some of which will be given automatically as you play and some you can gain or lose depending on choices. The result of these choices you make in chapter 1 will already play a big role in chapter 2 and going forward depending on path so be careful as there will be lasting future impacts depending on them and your story going forward could be significantly different depending on points and chosen path. Good and Evil points will be especially impactful going forward after this chapter is done and will work like a balancing scale meaning you will have to manage both or tip the scale more to the one or the other side so you have to pay attention and chose the path you really want, you have been warned. Solo path story will be the most impacted by this scale meaning in the future it will split further into new branches while Clara romance and Clara Spiral/Miles romance paths will be fixed meaning if you are on either of those paths your course is already set and Good/Evil points won't have much of a noticeable impact until the very end.

I have also started implementing some translations onto the game. Currently, Spanish and French are in. They are however machine (AI) translated so there could be errors so feedback on these is welcome. If these do well, I may add more in the future chapters. As of now I don't have anyone to proofread them but I'm looking into getting someone.

Well, in short, that's about it for this chapter. I hope you guys like it and where the story is going. As always, feedback and constructive criticism is welcome, it is the only way for me to know if people are happy with what is there and if any adjustments or fixes need to be made. After all, I'm just one guy so It's very possible I could miss something that others might catch so feel free to express any concerns, bugs etc. you may have found during your play. I am pretty much always available to reach out on our official

Take care everyone!

Is this the Bloodlines we didn't know we needed?
And we aren't even forced to be named Phyre?!?!



Sign me in, no idea why it didn't pop on my radar earlier.

This is heavy spoilers for one of the endings but if you are interested:
Wouldn't say it's Bloodlines per se since you are the only vampire left since all of the vampire clans got wiped out. I would say this would be something more akin to a prequel where you eventually get to be the Prince (or a Queen in this case) and remake your little vampire kingdom. But that may be only be one of the possible endings I'm thinking about. I'm a big Bloodlines fan myself so there could be some influence down the line, remains to be seen
