| Game update | Episode 7 Hi everyone! Episode 7 is now out. The episode comes with close to 1000 new renders and 14 animations. A scene was removed and will be included in the next one because I was not happy with the animations and so they need some polishing. | 13346890 | |
| Game update | Bug fixes - Fixed a bug that threw up an error when you viewed image#2 in the gallery - Fixed some typos If you find errors/typos, post them on my discord. | 12838907 | |
| In-game event | Episode 6 Hi everyone! Episode 6 is finally out. As most of you know, the update got stalled after I moved to another country. It took me a while to find a place, get settled in and get back on track so I apologize for the delay. Things are good now, though and the next update will be here much sooner than all the previous ones. I'm aiming for a release in the first week or two of January but I'll post i… | — | |
| Game update | Episode 6 patch notes Added a Character Journal - You can find the character journal in the menu. Look for 'Journal'. If you don't see any entries, just start the episode and they should fill up after like one second. Entries will be updated the more you interact with the character. Heart symbols on journal entries indicate main LI's (LI's that will have a unique solo ending should you choose to go with that route).… | 12831770 | |
| Community | Back in business! Hi everyone, After a pretty long wait, I'm finally typing this from my PC in my new home. I wanted to post this sooner but I decided that I wanted to show you guys a render too so I waited for a bit until this was done. I apologize for this whole process taking so long. There was so much going on with the apartment and just when I was about to sign the contract, someone else approached my agent… | — | |
| Community | Life update! Hi everyone, After weeks of hunting for an apartment in the new country and trying to look for a real estate agent that isn't trying to screw me over, I finally found a place and am done with the paperwork. The official move in date is the end of this month. I've written the script for the entire next episode which will be the biggest one so far so the process shouldn't take too long once I mov… | — | |
| Community | Just checking in. Hey everyone, There's going to be a tiny patch soon that fixes some grammatical errors and also gives you the option to skip the 'gift' from Aren at the start of the game (lewd scene with Carmine). I've been meaning to add this for a while now since some players brought up the issue about the scene being forced on the player. Keep in mind though, avoiding the scene will also lock you out of fut… | — | |
| Community | Episode 5 is live. Hey everyone, No spoilers ahead but I recommend reading this after you've played the update. First of all, thank you for being patient. Somehow, after every update, something happens irl that takes me away from my work for a little while. This time it's the move to another country. I leave this month so I couldn't really delay the episode any longer since I still have to pack. Overall, I feel l… | — | |
| Game update | Update notes for Episode 5 This update comes with the current content for episode 5 - ~800 renders - Some new animations - Added a personality scoring system for some dialogue choices that'll be obvious based on the icon next to them. For now, these will just track your points which will translate to achievements whenever they're implemented. | 11375149 | |
| Community | Preview + Random life update Hey Steam! Hope you're all doing well. I got an opportunity to move to another country soon (mid June) which will be a great step for me personally and for the future (family wise). It came up all of a sudden and I couldn't let it pass by so I've been busy with visa work and stuff but that's all done and now I just have to wait. I wanted the episode to be out in the first week of May but it loo… | — | |
| Community | Random update Hey everyone, After my last post here, I had some exams I had to attempt and had almost decided to drop them because they came out of nowhere and I wasn't prepared. However, I ended up 'trying' to clear tem instead of dropping them. I probably wont get through this time but I just wanted to give it a shot since I had already paid for them. I've been back home for the past 4 days now and I resum… | — | |
| Community | Episode 5 status Hey everyone, I want to post progress updates on Steam more often but as far as I know, people get emails when I post an announcement (please correct me if I'm wrong). Which is why I don't post as much here because I assume it'll be annoying for most people to get progress emails every now and then. I'm usually around on the discord server for any questions regarding progress etc. I do want to… | — | |
| Game update | Episode 4 is now officially complete. Hi everyone, The second half of episode 4 is now live. The update comes with 800 new renders and 15 animations. And of course, some new tunes. There was an issue at the last release where you couldn't load your game if you saved at 'save your game now'. I made sure not to make the same mistake again so your saves should be fine. If you find any bugs, feel free to head over to my discord server… | 10292140 | |
| Community | Merry Christmas Hey everyone! For those of you who celebrate, I hope you're all having a good Christmas. For those who don't, I hope you're having a good day regardless. I just got back from a family lunch and I've been up for 23 hours now. My software is crashing a lot so I can't leave batch renders overnight and have to monitor the renders to make sure they go through. It's a minor issue because I can just r… | — | |
| Community | Progress update Hey everyone, Here's a little preview from the next update. Development has been good so far and as of now, the tentative release date is looking good too. I'm aiming for a pre Christmas release and if I get some time, I'll put in Steam achievements too. If I don't, I'll just keep that for the next episode. Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that development is going well s… | — | |
| Game update | Bug fix that affected certain save files There was a bug that would take you back to the main menu if you saved when the game 'asked you to save'. It's been fixed. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! Also fixed a few typos here and there. Discord is always open if you find more. | 9925238 | |
| Game update | Episode 4.a Hello everyone! I finally managed to get the first half out. A few things to note before you play - This is just the first half of episode 4. The second half will be longer. This one is heavier on the filler/casual side of content. The plot reveals I have in mind were completely out of place in this first half and it'll be better if they come up together in the second half. This means that two… | 9918121 | |
| Community | Happy Halloween! Happy Halloween, everyone! I hope you have a fun and safe holiday. The new episode should be out within 7 days. I'm close to done with the episode and I hope you enjoy it. More details about the episode will be up in a new post with the release. -CC | — | |
| Community | "When is the next update?" Hey everyone! I hope you've all been doing great. I'm sorry I didn't pop in with updates for a while now. I've had a very busy month with family events and an engagement which were all in different states so I've been travelling a lot. My work flow took a hit and it took me a while to get it up and running again. It's been a while since the last update so I hope by now every one has managed to… | — | |
| Game update | Bug where you miss a scene with Talitha - fixed and uploaded Hey everyone, Thanks to a_svensson, a major bug has been found. I've fixed it and uploaded the fixed version. The bug : If you're pursuing Talitha - After the scene with Amaris staring out the window, all you get is a black screen and text that she spent the night. The fix : You get an actual scene of Talitha spending the night. The black screen with text appears AFTER you play through that sce… | — | |
| In-game event | Episode 3! Hey everyone, After all the hurdles and issues, I finally managed to post episode 3. The update size should be around 400mb. This is my first update on Steam and even though I struggled a little with the updating tools (Totally my fault, not Steams), it's nice to see the episode live. There's also a 10 day sale starting right now. My Steam journey has been great so far so I'd like to thank all… | — | |
| Community | ETA update + Random dev notes Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a good weekend! I'm waiting on some renders as I type this so I thought I'd leave a random update for those who are interested in knowing. I'm keeping around 3 more days to work on renders, followed by a few days to work on code, and then some bug testing. I'm liking how the episode is turning out so far and I hope you like it too. The update should be don… | — | |
| Community | ETA of the next update Hey everyone, First of all, thank you all for buying the game. Just looking at the number of users put a huge smile on my face that I wasn't able to shake off for a while. My original plan was to release a new episode WITH the launch but my trusty laptop wasn't so trusty anymore and so that took around 2 weeks to fix. Needless to say, I had to recuperate from a loss of data before starting to w… | — | |
| Community | We're live! Hey everyone, The day is finally here and I'm excited to have all of you play my VN, I got an overwhelmingly positive surprise with the number of wishlists and I'm really grateful to all of you who hit that button. Nothing is more encouraging than seeing so many people support you and your idea as a solo developer. I'm new in the business but I'm here to stay and I hope you enjoy the current st… | — |
