Chapter 1 — Devlog #5

An hour ago

Once again, this entire week was dedicated to renders. The good news is that I managed to finish one of the most difficult scenes so far, at least in my own opinion. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and I even managed to sneak in a small Terminator easter egg. Will you spot it?

While working on the renders, I also revisited part of the script and improved it further. It gained a couple of additional branches, and you’ll be able to see that very soon.

At this point, the number of finished renders has already reached the same amount as the prologue. There are still two fully optional questlines ahead. Working on them should be much faster and easier, since everything is already prepared, from characters to environments.

To wrap things up, I want to say that I’m genuinely excited about the upcoming chapter. Based on my own feelings, it has the potential to turn out significantly better than the prologue, and I very rarely rate my own work this highly.

I hope you’re looking forward to Chapter 1 as much as I am.

Chapter 1 — Devlog #6

We’re on the final stretch with the renders!

I’m almost done with one of the questlines focused on Loraine and slowly moving on to the next one. Based on how it feels so far, this next questline should be noticeably smaller and easier to handle.

What does this mean?
I’ll try to finish most of the rendering work before the New Year holidays. After that, once my proofreader has some time, I’ll send the script over for review. Realistically, I probably won’t be able to wrap up everything before the holidays, but there’s a good chance it’ll be done within the first weeks of the new year.

During the holidays themselves, I also want to take a short break. I won’t be able to spend them with family, but at least I’ll get some proper sleep and rewatch Die Hard and The Lord of the Rings for the millionth time.

I’ll also make a separate Christmas post with a small gift closer to the holidays.
For now, that’s it. Thanks for sticking with me!

Seems like a logical contradiction?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Seems like the word "Not" is wrong here.
Or the sentence reformed to " would it not lead people to me?"

Both the line and your suggestion are correct. I think the dialogue for this game is just a bit flowery or archaic. Or at least trying to sound as such.

You know, there is this Preview... And then there is Christmas time...

So maybe someone feels in a festive mood?

Anyone?

I just played this , I didn't think I would like it cause I don't like the idea of Futa + Vampire but that is a me problem. But I will say while im not a fan of the Futa MC because of the type of game it is that doesn't take away from how much I like it. One of the better Vampire games ive played so far.

I don’t usually know what to say on days like this, but I wanted to take a moment anyway.

I hope you get to spend these holidays with people you care about. And if that’s not possible, I hope you at least get to spend them in a way that feels kind to yourself. Sometimes that matters just as much.

Thank you for staying, for your patience, and for the support you’ve shown this project over time. Knowing that people are genuinely interested in the worlds I’m building means more to me than I probably say out loud.

I hope the rest of the year is gentle, and the next one gives you something to look forward to.

Chapter 1 — Devlog #7

We’re almost at the finish line with the renders.

How close exactly? All scenes are finished and already queued for rendering, with the queue currently sitting at over 180 renders. That means I’m gradually moving into the post-processing stage. There are a few spots where it’s absolutely necessary. I don’t expect it to take more than a day, but there are still some renders that aren’t done yet, so that’s something I’m keeping in mind.

After that comes coding and translation. Translation usually takes me about a day to a day and a half, depending on the amount of text.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to reach this stage before the end of the year, even though I said I would. So I’m really glad things turned out this way.

Overall, the chapter is shaping up to be quite large, with noticeable consequences from the prologue and choices you’ve already made. Some of them will be subtle, others much more impactful.

Even players who chose a more restrained or distant path will have plenty to engage with. As I mentioned before, Undawn is a game where intimate scenes are a reward for certain choices, not the core of the experience. Story, atmosphere, and consequences always come first.

I really can’t wait to show it to you, but you’ll have to be just a little more patient.

For now, thank you for your attention, and once again, happy holidays.

Current progress:
Renders — 90%
Post-processing — 50%
Characters — 100%
Environments — 100%
Script — 99%
Translation - 0%
Coding — 0%

I know, that the creator needed to put both main character into a holiday dress. But honestly, this does not fit to any of them. Have a look. Undawn Shackles of Eternity_Rhiannon.png

Chapter 1 — Devlog #8

Hey everyone, and Happy New Year.
I hope it turns out better than the last one for all of us.

Unfortunately, the year started with some difficult news from my family. Because of that, I spent the entire holiday period working, trying to finish the chapter as soon as possible and free up time so I can travel to see them afterward.

At the same time, this is good news for you. All renders are fully finished, post-processing is done as well, and I am now working directly with the script. This is usually not the most difficult stage of preparation, but it does take some time.

Overall, there isn’t much more to add. This will most likely be the last devlog before release, as only final touches remain. Once everything is completed, I will publish the release dates for all supporter tiers, as well as the public release date.

One small note in advance: after the Platinum release, I will need to be away for a short time. If any bugs or issues appear, I won’t be able to address them until I return. Please keep this in mind.

Thank you for your attention and for staying with me.

Current progress:
Renders — 100%
Post-processing — 100%
Characters — 100%
Environments — 100%
Script — 100%
Coding — 10%
Translation - 0%

A promising start. Going to keep an eye on this title.
I'm not usually into female/futa protagonist games, but this one has piqued my interest thanks to stellar writing.
