Anyone know how to get the Chloe scene in the first episode? Got her phone number but didn't have the opportunity to call her after that before the end of the episode
You have to choose to walk away, then you'll get the choice to either call her or just throw away your phone.

Chapter 2 on Steam and other stuff
Hey!
It's been a while. Since I just published the new chapter on Steam, I thought I'd give a shout here as well. I also wanna give some updates.
I've been working on the Steam stuff, but I've also been writing. I think I'm about a quarter of the way done with Selena's POV. I've decided to pause the billing on Patreon for another month because I have a bunch of stuff I need to do at work still, but I intend to get back into active development after working hours in about 10 days.
Blender's really nice in many ways, but it's way slower right now so I'm considering doing some hybrid work until I can get faster at it. That'd mean doing the more important scenes in blender to make them look as cool as possible, while keeping the less important scenes in Daz for speed.
So, yeah, that's the update. If you get the DLC on Steam, drop a review or something. That helps. Thanks!

No Harem?
So, romantic relationships with several characters? I'm not interested if it's with just one character and the rest are just casual.

Hey everyone!
I'm back.
I should probably elaborate: the pause billing thing expired and I have decided not to extend it because I feel I'm ready to get back to it. In some ways.
Blender kicked my ass. I can make renders in it just fine, but it takes way too long and I couldn't find someone to help me with it. It's unfortunate because I like the way renders in Blender look better, but I can't release anything on 3 renders / day, so I'm getting back together with Daz(we're in an abusive relationship).
Anyway, last month I paused the billing, but I've been doing some writing for the game anyway, just at a slower pace than usual. For now, we're about 60% through the writing for Selena's part. I'll be writing some more this weekend, after which I'll start on the renders and getting a daily count going.
Well, that's about it, I guess.
It's good to be back. Hope you like what I'm cooking up.

That pretty much aligns with all the devs that I've seen trying it, pretty stunning results if you can learn it but it also takes a lot of effort, not worth the time for this type of games more often than not.View attachment 5473921

this story is hillarious when you realize it entirely hinges on a random guy managing to somehow rape a girl who is supposedly more powerful than the most ancient and powerful vampire there is.

You are missing that when it happened she was much weaker than what she's become now, and also we are missing a lot of information of how it happened as we barely saw Caleb's POV which was clearly incomplete, because to me the way it was explained it seemed to imply there was a force in the shadows pulling the strings for that to happen.
Kinda like how Lilith was acting in the shadows with Caleb in his past, I am guessing she had someone as well, I am guessing it's either the endless or something related to it.
Of course there's someone, at the end of one of the updates(before the current one)someone was shown chatting with Marie and mentioned her as "The Daughter of Adam".
Only after the rape, and given how sacrifices and meddling dark forces work, this may be the point and one of the reasons for all the ensuing fuckery.

Hey, everyone!
Sorry I'm late, had a bit of a crazy week at work that lasted me until today. Fortunately, I've got time off for 3 weeks or so starting today.
I've been writing and rendering, so that we're at the climax of Selena's part of the story with the writing (though I'm missing a sex scene still--I tend to write those last). With rendering I'm still behind, but I've got the first scene done fully. I'll try to finish writing until the next update (which will be some time after Christmas). Rendering's been slower, but that can happen after a break until I get back into a rhythm.
Either way, I'll have some more time to work on the game now that I'm off work (not full time, we're doing holiday prep stuff and I need to be on call, but as close as I can get)
Anyway, hope you're doing great!

Hello!
And here we are again, at the end of the year and the final update of 2025.
It's been a... turbulent year, let's say. I quit my job, went full time for a few months on Zero End, then promptly ran out of money right as I got hired at my current job. I feel like I pissed through the openings in an electric fence. I probably won't be gambling my financial security like that again, but it was thrilling. Then I went of break for a while, which I really needed.
I've learned some things from the past year and it has informed my path forward. For the first years of working on Zero End, I kept holding on to hope that I'll be able to go full time on it one day. Having tried it a few months, I realized that it's not going to happen and my priority will always have to be my day job.
Most unfortunate. Maybe next project.
On the other hand, I think that removed a lot of the pressure I felt. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing will have to be seen. I'm definitely nowhere near as productive as I used to be when I was desperate for the game to succeed, but I'm not drinking every night and I can form coherent thoughts. Always a price.
Either way, that's enough retrospective, let's look to the future. Hopefully, next year's gonna be more relaxing and I can finish the side characters' stories. I'll have some progress updates next year (it's just been holidays and prep for the past 10 days or so).
Happy New Year!
May it be better than the last.

To be fair, I think I get nervous every time I see a dev saying they are going full-time, it's a very risky decision for a very volatile market, If I was in that position I would always want to play it safe and keep a normal job to cover my back while I create the game that I want at my pace, unless I am the minority that makes +5k a month...

Acting is full time until it is not .. the story of most if not all actors getting recognition around the world. Rewatched a couple of reels for Kianu Reeves coming off Matrix hype: he had gotten to Final Boss status in Hollywood, signing off on the director for his next movie - Constantine - where the first time movie director, former music video director, had to audition through all of the producres and studio heads, while Kianu had the final say - he had previously had a veto ultimatum clause - No Music directors - yet he heard the vision of that first time movie director, signed off on it, despite his direct and veto power disdain for first time - possible one time only - break out movie directors - while the rest is hystory.
Totally different story to Tarantino - who pitched his first movie to so many big time action heroes from Tinsel Town, that by the time he got to have the money and start the shoot, he had too many of them piling up the hype of starring in something they saw to be worth while and his script was struggling to accomodate them all.
Toitally different story to Cameron - who wrote off all his up-front-pay on his first movie and stuck it on the back end with the studio - if the movie was to bomb, he had sold his script and would direct on 1$ a flop - turned out it made money and so did he - after the dust had settled and everything was said and done.

Unless you go off swinging into the deep end of what you feel to be your calling, you will never know - but all good actors would face constant ups and downs in their beginnings - most would get type cast and make mountains of money - but somehow would feel imposter syndrome or boredom - while franchises in games, movies and television/music or theater milk every last dime of any good idea to the grave.
