HEA: Rethought - Dev. Log #009 (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Before we begin, I want to address two important things:

Content and Length: I’ve read several comments regarding the length and amount of content in the last two versions of the game, and I want you to know that I share your opinion. However, please keep in mind that updates are monthly, which means I have just over 20 days to write dialogue, pose/animate, and render—the remaining time goes into testing, translation, and publishing. I’m not trying to make excuses; I just want you to know that I try to pack as much content as I can into the time I have. Even though I have a good PC, it’s not a NASA supercomputer that can render everything in a couple of minutes. I will do my best to add a bit more content starting from this version, but I can't promise anything.

The Leak: As many of you know, the recently released version (v0.3) was unfortunately leaked on F95Zone long before its public release. I don’t intend to point fingers or look for culprits; I want to believe this was an isolated incident and won’t happen again. I kindly ask for respect toward the other patrons who contribute to play the game early or who simply want to support the project. The game has a public version with absolutely no cut content, so all I ask is to respect the corresponding waiting periods.

That being said, let’s look at what’s coming in Version 0.4 of HEA: Rethought:

Story Progression: The story continues, focusing mainly on Amy's confusion and fear following Daniel's advances in the previous update. Additionally, Gloria returns to stir up trouble in Amy and Manuel's relationship.

Leonor's Intentions: We will learn a bit more about what Leonor is planning with the bar.

For Alberto lovers: Unfortunately, the old man will be absent in this version.

Here are some preview renders that are already done:

This version is scheduled to be released between June 29th and June 30th, 2026.

On a side note: For several months now, I’ve been working on a separate project alongside HEA. I can’t share too much right now, but I can confirm that the game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and that I might have a playable prototype ready for the public within the next few weeks. Anyway, when the time comes, I’ll make an exclusive post to give you more details!

Best regards,

Escovic
