Hello, dear supporters! How are you all doing?
Today, I bring you a detailed update on the development of W2H. I took a little longer to post this because I was fully focused on finishing the static renderings… and finally, they’re done!
Rendering Progress
So far, 1,500 static images have been completed! I might still need to create a few extra images for smoother transitions between animations, but the bulk of the visual work is finished.
Additionally, two major cinematic animations are already in the rendering queue. These are high-quality scenes, each lasting over one minute at 30 FPS, which means each one requires more than 2,000 frames! The rendering process takes time, but it will be worth it.
✍ Story Development
I started writing a few days ago, and I’m really happy with how the pacing is turning out. It’s neither too rushed nor too slow—each scene is given the right amount of depth.
Here are some key highlights of this chapter:
  • Rebecca and Carmilla completely steal the show in battle! Their overwhelming power is on full display, and their fight scenes are intense.
  • Lily and Samantha’s interactions are shaping up nicely. There are some well-balanced humorous moments and even the start of an unexpected friendship.
  • The MC and Joshua’s dynamic is particularly compelling, packed with powerful dialogue and major revelations about what’s to come.
This chapter will feature three major story events:
  • The conclusion of Joshua and the MC’s battle
  • The outcome of the vampire vs. werewolf war
  • The final hunt for Russo
Each of these moments will bring significant twists and answers to the unfolding events in Hell!
Writing Progress
  • 25% of the chapter is already written. When I was originally considering releasing a playable teaser at the end of last year, I had already completed around 1,000 lines of dialogue. However, we decided to hold off on that and focus on delivering a full chapter instead. Now, I’ve continued writing from that point, making adjustments and improvements along the way.
  • My main focus for the coming weeks is to keep writing and refining the existing dialogues. I want everything to feel natural, engaging, and impactful.
I usually prefer writing late at night since my city gets very hot during the day, and we often have storms in the afternoon. With cooler temperatures at night, I can focus better and really connect with the characters to create meaningful dialogues.
Animations & Choices
For now, animations are taking a backseat. My priority is finishing the biggest ones first before working on transition animations and potential adult content scenes. Speaking of which, the availability of adult scenes will depend on the choices you made in previous chapters. So, pay attention!
This chapter won’t have many new choices, but rather the consequences of your past decisions. So, think carefully before selecting a response!
Special Thanks
I want to express my deep gratitude to all of you who support W2H! Whether you've been here since the beginning, recently joined, or even increased your pledge to help even more—you are all amazing!
I also want to give a special thanks to a long-time patron who donates every year to help cover the costs of new computer parts and other expenses. This kind of support makes a huge difference in keeping the game’s development steady and improving over time!
W2H on Steam? Not yet…
Recently, a friend asked me: "NoobPROGames, why don’t you release W2H on Steam?"
My answer was simple: It’s not time yet. I know many of you would love to see the game on Steam, and I do plan to release it there eventually—but not until it’s truly ready. Before that happens, I need to:
✅ Create a proper opening sequence for the game
✅ Improve development tools
✅ Remaster Chapter 03
✅ Refine the coding
✅ Improve the English translation
My dream is to launch W2H on Steam one day, but only when it reaches the level of quality it deserves. I want players to experience it and say: "Now this is a good game!"
Looking Toward an Incredible Future
Since 2021, I’ve promised constant improvements to W2H, and with each new chapter, I strive to bring something better—more refined, more immersive, and more engaging.
Yes, I’ve faced a lot of criticism along the way—some constructive, some not. But the critiques that push me to improve are the ones that truly matter. And that’s why I’ll keep going, constantly striving to make W2H the best it can be.
February & March Girl of the Month Poll!
Don’t forget to vote for the The two most-voted characters will receive a special artwork together at the end of the poll.
Wishing you all an amazing week, and as always, I’m here if you have any questions!
joshua wasn't the first boss at the beginning?? the sanarchist one?? if yes what does it mean?? that this game is about to the third remake?? i think i remember we already dealt with Russo before....am i wrong?? if so, you have to understand me considering how long updates takes to be released.. and how many times this game was started all over again and agasin... a pity cuz i ilked it so much...but man...this is painfull

Hey there, my dear supporters! How are you all doing?
Let’s dive into some fresh development updates, shall we? ‍♀
First of all, I want to apologize for the delay in bringing you news. The past two weeks have been rough on the personal side — I’ve been dealing with some serious issues at home that made it nearly impossible to work full-time on the game. Life can throw unexpected stuff at you, especially when you're living with someone. Relationships aren't always easy, especially when people don't really get you, right?
But hey, let’s not turn this post into a soap opera — we’ve got a lot to talk about when it comes to Welcome to Hell and what's coming this month!
Development Progress
Right now, the dialogue is about 80% complete! Most of the images are already placed in the right spots. Even though the past couple of weeks weren’t as productive as I wanted, I’m fully back at it — writing new content today and adding the final images into the script.
Some animations are already done and being implemented, while others are still in the rendering queue (which, as always, takes time). So, I can confidently say the game is now around 85% complete, and I can already visualize a solid release date in my mind. It’s getting close!
‍ Girl(s) of the Month
As I mentioned before, the Girl of the Month post got a bit delayed — and that's because my computer is working non-stop rendering animations. I didn't want to interrupt the process to render the 4K images of the monthly winners. Since animations take so long, I figured it's best to keep that going. But don't worry — this week, I’ll be posting the two winning girls with stunning 4K images and exclusive poses. ❤
️ Hardware Upgrade (Finally!)
Now for a funny little behind-the-scenes story: I finally managed to upgrade my workstation!
Guys… my old keyboard was in such bad shape that when I pressed a key, it got stuck inside and wouldn’t come back up. My monitor was covered in lines like an old VHS tape, and the mouse was practically a fossil. But not anymore! Now I’ve got a brand-new mechanical keyboard, a quality mouse (over $100!), a great headset, and even a second screen so I can work more efficiently.
Altogether, I spent around $450 here in Brazil — and as you probably know, everything tech-related here is way more expensive than in other countries. If I were living elsewhere, I could’ve bought the same gear for half the price. So hey, if anyone’s looking to adopt a developer and take him somewhere cheaper, I’m open to offers!
Last but not least...
Even with everything that’s been happening, I’m feeling good and super motivated. I can’t wait to release this new chapter — we’re already at the limit of our planned schedule, and I’m fully focused on wrapping things up so I can launch it by the end of this month!
As always, feel free to message me anytime you want — whether it's a question, feedback, or just to say hi. I might not post as often because I’m deep into writing, but I’m always around and happy to chat.
Thank you all so much for your incredible support, patience, and kind messages. You’re the reason I keep pushing through.
Talk to you soon with more juicy updates straight from the underworld!
 
  • Yay, update!

Second-to-last update before Chapter 08 release!
Hello, dear supporters!
We've reached our second-to-last development update before the official release of Chapter 08 of Welcome to Hell: The Vampire Chronicles!
And I’m happy to say that the game is 90% complete!
I’m currently testing the entire chapter and fixing the remaining issues — from dialogue tweaks to code polishing and choice logic. Animations are done, rendering is finished, and now I’m in the post-production phase, making sure everything looks and feels just right (or as close to perfect as possible)!
Between scenes, I occasionally find minor bugs — like transition hiccups or small dialogue fixes — and I take care of them right away. At this stage, it’s all about the tiny details. I’m also adding in the sound effects (already pre-selected), polishing the soundtrack, and doing some Photoshop work. Almost there!
⚠ About the delay
Once again, I want to sincerely apologize for the delay in this chapter’s release.
My personal life took quite a turn recently, and I’ve been navigating through that little by little. Still, I would never let it negatively impact the game’s development — but a small delay became inevitable.
The release will happen in the next few days. As soon as post-production is finished and beta testing begins, I’ll come back here to announce the official launch date.
Poll: Girl of the Month – April
The poll to choose April’s Girl of the Month starts today! Don’t forget to vote — your participation means a lot.
I know the posts have been more focused on development updates lately, and that we’ve only been running one poll per month. Honestly, I’m not too happy about that either , but whenever I’m close to launching a new chapter, I really need to focus all my energy on finishing the game, rather than adding extra content that could distract from that goal.
Future plans
Once Chapter 08 is out, I want to start bringing in more content to our posts:
  • Thematic polls
  • Character photo sessions
  • And even a book I’ve been writing just for you all!
But that’s a conversation for another time — for now, my full focus is on wrapping up Chapter 08 with the quality you all deserve.
Thank you for sticking with me. You are an essential part of this project. ❤
I’ll be back very soon with the final update before release!
With appreciation,
– NoobPROGames

The dev made a mess, version 0.7 is the original version that got up to Chapter 7 I think, then started the madness of the remaster, which is version 0.2.0, but for some inexplicable reason only contains the first two Chapters in a separate executable instead of just changing the code and overwriting the first two original Chapters to keep all chapters together.

Also, the idea was only to make a remaster of the first three Chapters, so it's even less justifiable that it's a separate .exe.
He didn't just copy/paste the code using newly assigned renders, some paths were complete removed when there were more than 2 options to simplify the "remastering." That's likely the only reason the reaction to the remaster was so negative that this dev actually reversed course to working on the original project instead. He actively made his job harder for no reason and it showed. There was no redeeming the remaster. Lets just hope he can course correct the original product.

The Main fact is this dev used to post updates like roughly every 5-6 months b4 the rework crap and now it takes like a year plus now per update.

If the content size is less than what we used to get per update then it just proves the dev isn't here for their story anymore.


So many Devs now try to be like the big ones who take up to 11+ months or longer just for an update is getting beyond disgusting.

Especially if the new content size is less then a third of the original content you used to make meanwhile all these Devs talk about new equipment and such so its like you just want money for improvements yet leave us out to dry until everyone finally agrees enough is enough

I get I am just a random here spouting nonsense but us people who all see these forums and others related to Devs and reworks/remasters/etc, we all see what keeps happening..

Like my Honest thoughts.

Why the fuck do we need to always see a girls of the month..... Maybe spend that time on the game instead of renders unrelated to anything but showing off models for sake of it.

one question why does the mc act like a child? like he's so fucking stupid he cant remember people can read his fucking mind across the house and literally basically screams private information and his location while he's sneaking around rebecas room and shit. oh and anabelle is a fucking hypocrite who screams and cries whenever someone makes a joke or lies yet fucking lies constantly to the mc.

Hello, dear supporters!
We’ve arrived at the final DevLog for Chapter 08 of W2H before the official release — and I want to take a moment to speak to you from the heart.
Before we dive into game updates, I’d like to explain why things have been a bit quiet around here lately. The truth is, my personal life has been going through a very difficult phase. I’m currently going through a divorce — something I believe I mentioned before — and sadly, things have only gotten more complicated.
To make matters even more challenging, there’s a young child involved, and on top of it all, health issues within the family have emerged. At times, it feels like everything is upside down. Please know that this is all real — nothing here is exaggerated or fictional. People close to me know exactly what I’m going through.
Despite everything, I’m doing my best to gather strength each day and keep moving forward. If any of you feel disappointed by delays or are considering asking for a refund, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me privately. I’m more than willing to discuss and assess each case with kindness and transparency.
But now, let’s shift to something positive — W2H, which continues to bring me joy even in the darkest moments.
Chapter 08 Progress
Chapter 08 is currently 95% complete, and if not for a recent issue, it would already be finished. I discovered a problem related to Chapter 01 Remake, which was released almost a year ago. At that time, I completely replaced the old version with the remake in the main script — something I honestly didn’t remember doing.
Maybe back then, my plan was to finish all the remakes before returning to the base story. But as many of you voted in our polls, we decided to focus on completing the second season of W2H first, and that’s the path we’re on now.
I just need to reorganize a few files, restore the original intro, and everything should be back to normal — this shouldn’t take long at all.
Why Not Merge All the Files?
A common question I get from new supporters is:
“Why not just combine all the old and remade chapters into one single file?”
Well, the answer is: it’s not that simple.
The remakes have been completely rebuilt — with major improvements in text, code organization, and how choices are handled during gameplay. To make them work properly inside Chapter 08, I’d need to recode Chapters 3, 4, and 5 to match the new system.
That would take a lot of time — so for now, we’ll continue treating W2H Original and W2H Remake as two separate game files. Once Season 2 is complete, we’ll move on to Remake Chapter 3 and begin the full integration into a brand-new, polished version of W2H. And believe me, it’s going to be amazing.
What’s Done So Far?
Here’s what’s already complete:
✅ All music is finished and implemented
✅ New sound effects are organized and included
✅ New animations are rendered and working
✅ Static images are complete
✅ Dialogue and coding are finalized
Now, I just need to fix the error in the intro section, restore the older script, translate everything into English, and then hand it over to our beta testers for testing.
Release Date
The release date will be announced later this week, alongside the “Girls of the Month” content. I’m very excited and can’t wait for you all to play the new chapter!
A Heartfelt Thank You
To all of you who support me — especially those who’ve been here for a long time — thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.
Your support is what keeps W2H alive. And no matter what challenges I may face in life, I promise you this:
W2H will never be abandoned.
I’ll be here until the very end.
If you ever have questions, suggestions, or just want to chat, I’m always online and happy to respond.
With love and gratitude,
NoobPROGames

Well it's past "Later this week" and there has been nothing. It would appear they might have hit a snag But I don't know that.
