Update (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

I thought it was time to bring you up to speed again.

Work on the game is progressing well. As I mentioned before, I wanted to experiment with a new system. Unfortunately, getting it to work on my own didn’t go quite as planned. The good news is that I found another developer who can take care of it for me.

This is actually a great solution: I can hand that part of the work over to him while I continue working on other parts of the game. That means progress is now being made on both things at the same time.

And this is only possible because of your support.

Thanks to everyone supporting me on Patreon, I had the financial freedom to hire someone to help me with this system. I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to do that without you.

Speaking of people I hire to work on the game, I’m also working with two animators again. They’re people I’ve already hired in the past. In fact, they created almost all of the most recent nsfw animated scenes. At this point, I would consider them my two main animators.

Yesterday made another deal with them, and they’ll be creating two more scemes for the game. Once again, this is only possible because of your support. So thank you again.

I’ve already seen some sneak peeks and work-in-progress footage from the new animations, and honestly, they look really damn good. I’m genuinely impressed and very excited to see and more importanly share the finished results.

I really hope my collaboration with these two animators continues like this, because I think it could lead to some great things. Maybe it will even allow me to… Actually, never mind.

Now, back to the story itself.

As I mentioned, I spent part of last week trying to expand my programming knowledge. I can definitely tell that I’m getting old, it’s becoming harder and harder to keep all of that information in my head.

Thankfully, that's now been solved, which means I can focus on something else again: the upcoming flashback scene.

I’ve started working on the beginning of that section. As I’ve already explained, this flashback will be a little different from the usual scenes. Instead of simply watching events from the outside, we’ll experience the flashback together with the main character.

There will also be a small plot twist at the end, although “plot twist” might be a bit of an exaggeration. It’s more like a clue that particularly attentive players may notice.

I don’t want to reveal too much. Actually, I’m not going to reveal anything else at all. That’s the only hint you’re getting.

This small detail will become very important in later chapters. The people who notice it will hopefully reach that later chapter and think, “Oh shit, that makes sense now.”

And then we’ll all be happy and laugh together.

Sounds good, right?

As for the image above, there isn’t any special story context behind it. It isn’t an image from the game. It’s a commission requested by the user "Orion", and he allowed me to share it.

I hope the Emma fans among you enjoy it. Just remember that it doesn’t depict an actual scene from the game.

Anyway, that’s all from me for now.

I hope I’ll manage to post the next update a little sooner. There has simply been a lot going on lately. I thought my regular routine would return after the move, but I’m still dealing with some of its aftereffects, along with countless appointments and my regular work.

Still, things are getting better and better. These are hopefully just the last few aftershocks, and they’re slowly fading away.

Thank you very much for reading. I hope you’re all doing well.

Take care of yourselves, stay safe and I’ll see you next time.Berki
