2020 has come!
The year 2020 has come!
I wish you all peace and happiness, my friends! I hope to please you even more this year than last year. Last year was pretty hard in game development. I hope this year I will correct some of my mistakes and do even better!
This is one of the renders of my new game. I will work on the new game in more detail. And I plan to release a demo version on January 5-6. Updates of the new game will be released not earlier than once in 2 months. I don't want this game to interfere with the development of "The Way". That's why I still have The Way as my priority. I hope the update will be released by the end of the month. I have quite big plans for the next update.
And special thanks to my patrons, new, current and former. I am very grateful to you guys! Thank you for your support!

I'll answer a few questions here. As I said before, I can't satisfy every player. I spent 20 days of development on the last update. 0.28 was released on December 5th. As for the event with Janet... Are you guys serious? I was bombed with messages not to rush the game to the end. After I decided to continue my extremely unprofitable project, I was bombed again, but this time people are dissatisfied that the plot is too slow...I guess I'll just do my job without paying attention to the messages... Constant changes in the story due to criticism or player advice are driving into a creative crisis.
Truth is you can't please everybody. Taking the opinions of players into account is a good thing, though of course not above everything else and there's a difference between a few "loud-mouths" complaining about something and an overwhelmingly negative reaction, like you got over the rushed endings.
I think every rational player can understand why you wanted to end the two routes so fast AND loved that our disappointment led you to go back to those endings.
I mean, you want to earn money, you deserve to get something for your work tbh and the game just doesn't give you enough revenue, especially considering the work you put into it.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't love for the paths to be much, much more expanded on, but I will take what I can get.
First of all I got to say despite all the cringe dialogue in the game it's good very good although the general wording of the dialogue has to be improved cause at times it's hard to follow, inconsistent and all around poorly structured.
For instance when the MC is peeping on friends mom he say's "Damm, she drawing me like a magnet. I just can't help it C'mon, lets go ahead" this should be "Damm she's drawing me in like a magnet. I just can't help it." now the last bit franky is unnecessary however if it was intended as a 4th wall break i understand but it still is a unnecessary bit of dialogue.
Also you seem to get muddled up with past,present and future tense.
Luckily the good pieces of dialogue outweigh the bad, it's just disorienting when you do read the bad pieces as they take you out the story.
Also one little nitpick cut down on the use of hero, saviour and other words related to it and any other words you use far to often.
It starts becoming a slug to read when the reader has to read words they have already seen multiple times already and a lot of the time it's again unnecessary to use them, I understand you using it as a way to display the character's affection for the MC however the somewhat excessive use of it means it becomes redundant and makes it seem like you just want to fit some words in the text box.
I fully understand if english is not your first language but maybe consider getting some proof readers to go through what you have, if you do great ignore what I said.
I have noticed further along in the game these mistakes are less common although that can just be down to improvement as a writer so keep on it.
Remember if the dialogue adds nothing to the story cut it out for instance few times the character is doing something in the scene however for what ever reason you feel the need to state what he's doing. Stop this. This is the single worst mistake a writer of a VN can do. We can see what is going on in scene therefore it's redundant to explain what he's doing and as a writer redundancy is the main thing you want to avoid.
With that out the way I'm looking forward to the next update
