Progress update. (Patreon)

Hello everyone,I wanted to give you another status update.

So, how’s the progress going? I’m almost there. I only have one more scene left, and then Chapter 12 will be finished. That said, I really have to keep myself in check and not rush it. The last thing I want is for the quality to suffer, especially since, believe me, no one is more impatient to finish this chapter than I am.

This final scene is very important. It answers some key questions from the previous chapters, and it’s also the last thing you’ll see before I can release new content again. Even though it isn’t overly complicated in theory, I want to polish it properly and add a bit of extra fluff so you leave Chapter 12 with that cool feeling. And, well, you know me. I do love my cliffhangers.

On the other hand, I’m really eager to move on and start working on Chapter 13. For each chapter, I usually plan one standout moment, a highlight scene that I begin working on early, even if it doesn’t come first chronologically. I spend a lot of time on these to make them especially memorable. In Chapter 12, that scene was right at the beginning, Ren’s fight against Unus. I already have an even cooler scene planned for Chapter 13, so my enthusiasm is definitely itching to get started.

But first things first. Chapter 12 needs to be finished. That’s the priority.

As some of you long-time Patreon supporters already know, and by the way, I love you all, you’re the reason I can keep working on this game, and I’m genuinely forever grateful, I always take a one-week break after releasing a full chapter to recharge my creative energy. Coincidentally, the new Nightreign DLC dropped earlier this month, and I’ve really wanted to try it out with some friends(I want to play the new Bonk-Mommy.). I’ve had to decline their invites so far because nearly all of my free time goes into developing the VN.

I could finally play during my week off once Chapter 12 is done, but as the saying goes, discipline begins where fun ends. I’m mature enough to hold myself back and not rush the last scene. I’ll give it the time it deserves and make it as cool as it needs to be.

So, when will Chapter 12 be available? Honestly, I can’t say for sure, but hopefully not too much longer. As soon as I’m finished and have sent the chapter to my playtesters, I’ll update you again here.To address the image at the top: Look who also appears in Chapter 12!

Until then, take care of yourselves and surround yourselves with good people. Stay safe.

With love,Berki
