Day late. Sorry about that. Just got caught up with stuff yesterday and totally spaced it. There's nothing really new to update on the personal stuff. Last night, I took some time to see if I could figure out what was causing my 13700k to get so toasty. Came across MCE and PL1/PL2 settings in the bios thanks to a JayzTwoCents video. Let's just say it definitely worked. As we all know, Summer is…
I don't have an exact number of renders made right now, last I counted was 375, and I think I've done 10-ish today so far. Either way, we're roughly about 80% done with the 500 planned renders. Again, may or may not go slightly over that to close out the update cleanly. I don't think a hard cutoff would be appreciated even in this format. · We're currently at about 4 scenes. Two of which are qu…
Fixed broken achievement for #Feminism. You can either replay the update or wait until Episode 5, where I'll also include it there for those that would rather not buzz through the update. :) Fixed a broken/missing image, was just a wrong file name (humble instead of hum). I'm also aware of the Kara date bug (where you go out even if you don't ask her.). I could've sword I had an if/else there,…
Thanks for holding out. That especially goes for anyone at this tier. This kind of support goes a long way in keeping the game going. And after waiting this long, I wish there was more too. But as said already, changes are coming to prevent this kind of wait again. There's lot of thing I've played around with this in update. Much of it being AI. Not to take over the game or its animations, or w…
There's some news, mostly good, but it's mostly been chugging away at renders. Have had a busy few weeks at work, but such is the case for a full time job and a hobby project. We also have a website in working order now, with (more or less) live tracking of progress. Which can be viewed here: A little side warning on the site - it hasn't been optimized for mobile at all yet. It's still basicall…
When going through the checklist for 3.5, I added the achievements to the code for the Steam version of the game. But I never uncommented them in the code. It's not a big issues. If you want the achievements, replaying through Episode 3.5 should give you them. Most of you should have a save from Episode 3 in the autosave given how short the 3.5 was. There's also a variable snuck in there as wel…
3.5, for those who weren't following very closely, is something of a QoL update for myself that also attempts to fix some of the longer running issues. Such as the gallery/scene replays and character page. While you can find it in the game in the extras menu, here's the changelog for 3.5: - Finished (mostly) the character menu. Likes/Interests to be added as you get closer to LIs. - Updated Mus…
Sorry for the spam. Glossary bugfix should up and working now. As for everything else, please refer to the previous news post to this for more information.
Sorry for the (again) delayed update, even if it was out of my control. I've gone through a quick playthrough before posting this. Just to make it clear once more, you will need to restart for this update. However, with all the backend work, there should be no more restarting barring any catastrophic bug that I missed. A known bug at the moment: Glossary definitions aren't working in S01E03. If…
For anyone looking for the update on Steam tonight, it's totally out of my control right now: Minutes prior, they told me to set up "Authenticator" before the build could go live. Then they say this once I do it. I've messaged support, but from my experience, Steam's support is slow to say the least. It'll probably be live before they actually get to it. The game is already uploaded. The moment…
It's been a minute. First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for the wait and thank you for the patience. Had a lot going on near the end of the year (not an excuse) that delayed the release a bit, but we're here. Finally. Aside from fixing up some sfx and a final playthrough for bugs, we're ready to go. There was a lot of lessons learned with this update, and some things that'll be changed go…
If you've read the community thread, you've already got a solid idea of what's going on. However, I'll share it to the general public (both here, obviously, and on Patreon/SS) who don't venture to those parts. Why is the update late? Those who read the post on the 30th might've read (and comprehended) the rather vague point near the bottom: " But it's because I have to go back home (family issu…
While it certainly didn't blow up, I'd call the launch of Move the Chains on Steam thus far a success. While I don't know if I'll be quitting my job just yet (I'll need to see what I'm making month to month before I start contemplating that.), this very much removes the financial burden of Daz assets and other purchases that need to be made (music/licenses, icons/svgs/etc., and things of that n…
If you haven't read the Play Sheet posted on another site (that I can't mention here). I was unable to finish up Episode 3 in time for the release date. That being said, I'll be releasing the game today as planned with the already finished Episodes 1 and 2. Episode 3 will be out by near the end of November! 39 of the 40 scenes (2100+ renders) in Episode 3 are currently rendered and waiting for…
Sorry for the spam to anyone following this. After having several reaching out, along with a couple comments about holding off the release until Episode 3 is ready, I've decided to push back the release date to the 15th for now. We'll see where I am with progress in two weeks and decide from there. However, the release WILL be soon after that. if not right around it. We'll see. Again, thanks fo…
The release date of Move the Chains is now firm. It will be November 7th. However, progress on the status of Episode 3 has been slower than expected. While it's still early, and I'm working my ass off, I fear I won't hit the deadline for Episode 3 meeting the Steam release. I'm currently writing quite quickly, but I still have 2000 made-render waiting to be rendered + music + graphic assets + p…
So, I've been going back and forth with Steam since June getting things right. Between the week-long wait times for each issue/message/etc. between us and working on the game, it's taken a bit longer to get to this point than I would've liked. That being said, the current build is finally approved. I've started reaching out to curators already and hope to gain at least some momentum from that b…
I'm aware I'm probably a little late in posting this, but better late than never, eh? For those that don't/can't/won't follow outside of Steam, I generally post Play Sheets, which are generally just progress reports with current progress and what's in the pipeline. For the sake of not making you read an entire book, I'm just going to post the progress chart I update daily on my Patreon page (wh…
