Expansion of Ability descriptions.

When I made the Ability descriptions, I tried to keep them short and concise so as not to distract too much of the player's attention during character creation. Well, the descriptions seem to be concise. But probably not quite comprehensive enough...

We're somewhere around here.

There's not much to tell, but the long silence is not good for this page. It needs to be stroked and brushed, then it will purr... Uh, to the point!

First, the unpleasant. Touch and forget.

My energy situation here has...

Update 1.69 (public version)

Well, two weeks have passed, it's time to share. Although this time it's the public version of the emergency update from March 23. In general, that's why I won't post it anywhere where I usually post updates. Just here. But this is the public vers...

Plans & Expectations.

If everything had been normal, version 1.7 should have been released today, then two weeks later, its public version. But everything went to hell and created quite a bunch of problems (a couple of posts down if you don't have any idea what I'm tal...

Update 1.69 (patron version)

Update in the attached files.

The nice 1.7 number will appear when I can finish it properly. Alas, it's hard for me to give you a time frame right now. Nevertheless, it's +/- 90% of the episode. Tested to make sure it's passable. But bugs wi...

Update 1.7 may come out sooner, but that's not good news.

To help you understand my current state, I will describe my last few days. First of all, and this is not the main reason, I got sick again. Fortunately, this crap only hit me hard on the first day but it started getting w...

March 31.

Just a reminder of the 1.7 release date. Well, also because if I stay silent until the end of the month, some people might start to worry. No need to.

Overall.

The bulk of the episode is already in my version of the ga...

Just letting you know that everything's in order.

Day by day, I'm gently and carefully converting the draft right into the game. A little behind my schedule, so to speak, but nothing critical. So there's not much to report, the work is moving forward, and I've already exhausted my limit of hints ...

Update 1.7 shifts to March

Patron voting is now complete. The post with it should be open for public viewing and comment by now. Most want a full-fledged update, not a short one. So be it.

So far, the biggest update was 1.5. The upcoming update, if I do it right, w...

Faster or More?

A bit of clarification.

It's better to put it in numbers, it'll be clearer. To understand, the last update 1.6 included 298 pages in the draft. And the 1.5 update before last was 368 pages.

Now I have the 280-page draf...

Some news (update 1.6.5)

What was planned?

The original plan for the 1.7 update envisioned a certain pool of events. Conventionally, it could be divided into two parts. But, the first half grew quite a lot in the work process. Because I didn't wan...

...jingle bells, jingle all the way… - *Cough-cough* - Oh, what the fuck! I’m not good at singing at all!

First of all, I apologize for my long online absence and infrequent replies. I got the flu at the beginning of the month, and a nasty one at that. It ended (I hope) only a couple of days ago, so I've been sick for almost the whole damn month. Game...

Progress report of Update 1.7

Main.

Usually, I work along the lines of - scene ready in draft → add it to the game, and test it. But because of the specific, "hybridized" gameplay at the beginning of the next episode, it's not very convenien...

The Good, the Bad, and the Meta.

Everything written below is purely my thoughts on game mechanics. Nothing is binding. Play as you and only you like. But maybe you'll find something useful for yourself.

Update 1.7 Announcement.

Well, Patreon has added a free subscribers feature. Looks like it's evolving faster than me, huh. Okay, let's adapt - let the announcements of updates be open to everyone, just like the public versions of the updates themselves. I've also unlocked...

Update 1.6 (public)

Well, two weeks have passed and it's time to share. The update is in the attached files.

As usual, I used the time between patron and public versions for deep testing and polishing. You can find a list of changes in the Changelog section in ...

Hints for non-lewd scenes from update 1.6

Watch out for spoilers! I recommend you play to the update's end first and then come back here to see if you missed anything.

Well, foremost, this is the first update in the game, where builds with heavy in...

Update 1.6 (patron version)

Update 1.6 is ready. You can download it from the attached files. 

Without further ado - I just hope you like it.

No, wait! Thanks for your support! It wouldn't be possible without you. Okay, now you can download it.

1.6 Release Date

So, the end of September, as promised the release date of the update. That's October 14-21. That is the same two weeks, plus one more week in case something goes wrong. Time frames are actually very short for me, but it can't be d...

Free roam sequence takes its toll.

A lot of things. Let's try to go through it point by point.

The update is growing. As well as my anxiety. I can't do anything about it, so I won't even try to hide it. I only ask you to be patient and hope for your understan...

Last day of August.

Well, today is the last day of August, a month that has been... not very productive for me. You know, there were a couple of distractions. But in September I plan to... work, work, work, and over here, yep, work again. I really want to release the...

More free roam sequences?

And a couple... well, okay, not a couple words from me.

To avoid confusion, let's define the terminology. By the free roam sequence, I mean a location where you control where the PC will go, who she will (or will no...

Game in game.

Have you ever wondered why, in some default fantasy worlds, characters sometimes play chess? I mean, not in the board game as such, but in the very "earthly" chess. The ancestors of chess originated in ancient India and the figures there,...

Hills, why are there always hills...

I hate hills. Okay, stop, this has to be the ending. Let's start at the beginning. So, I've been writing a draft, and I've done a few scenes. And then it was time to make the arts for it. The idea is to move the action to a hilly area. But I wasn'...

Update 1.6 Announcement.

So now my favorite part is to talk about the update and somehow avoid any spoilers. Oh, well... let's go.

1.6 is already in work. The approximate release date is August at the earliest, but you'd better cou...

Update 1.5 (public)

Two weeks have passed, so it's time to share. Update in the attached files.

Added all new patrons to the credit section. Thanks, guys and gals! There are no changes in the update itself (I haven't found anything that requires fixings). But t...

As for finding them - it's not difficult, they are directly tied to who you hang...

Hints for non-lewd scenes from update 1.5

In general, the content of 1.5 is sensitive to whether you go through the Cadoni...

Update 1.5 (patron-only)

Yeah, I did that. Somehow... Now let me crawl on the bed and just... lie there for a couple of days. Oh yeah, the update is in the attached files. I hope you like it.

I humbly ask you not to leak it into the public spaces. Those who like the...
