Now the set of characters of the first episode is complete

Player Stats, Flags, Inventory, Affection, and Quest Systems Ready!

It's everything working like a dream! Finally. I also started to write the entire planned episode on Renpy. Maybe we will have a playable version of this prototype available for the Level Three Contributors next month! It will be a REALLY early version containing only text, some sound effects, and a few rough sketches. We want to use the input from the contributors to fine-tune...

Have you seen this man?

This character appears at a certain point in the Teaser version, but I think few people noticed it. Have you seen this man?

Our first month!

Thanks, guys, for staying with us for more this month! Your presence on this Patreon page is helping us stay focused on developing this first full episode as soon as possible! We have few things to show because we are focused on coding and polishing the game design document based on player feedback we gathered. But we are still working hard!

You may not believe this, but I started coding ...

Here's the Mysterious Woman character sheet

She still passed out on the floor in Martin's house. What do you think she wants with him?

Meet Martin

The artist just sent me this character sheet. What do you guys think of the protagonist? I think he should put some clothes on as soon as possible. Hehehe.

(Nostalgic post) I just found this while cleaning out the project folders.

The date of this screenshot is December 9, 2019, almost two years ago. It is the first iteration of the protagonist's house. At that time, we had not yet figured out the positioning and size of the windows. That staircase is the only thing that has changed places since the creation of this first floor. It felt good to see our vision for this game kept solid since this time.

Fast Travel poll: do you want a Sense of Completeness or Immersion?

The game will have exploration sessions where the character will visit certain rooms to find items or activate story progression events.

This exploration will occur through two mechanisms: Navigation and Fast Travel.

- Through Navigation, you will have to click your way through doors, stairs, and hallways to reach your destination.

- With Fast Travel, you acce...

I put some easter eggs in the web version.

I think nobody will be able to reach it, but the message is there. It's a nod for anyone who tries to forcefully enable these forbidden functionalities in the web version. Hehe.

Just reuploaded the web version on Newgrounds!

I did my best to make a viable version of this teaser for web browsers because I love the Newgrounds community and the kind of comments they give after playing a game. I hope they notice my project!

Making this web port was not an easy task. It took me almost two weeks to complete it. I had to reduce all images to a lower resolution, refactor many chunks of code, especially the visual eff...

Web optimization halfway done

These are the remaining animations to optimize. They need to be manually recalculated to work in lower resolutions. Mobile web browsers can't handle 1920x1080 images that well on Ren'py Web, so I resized the entire pictures folder to 1280x720, and now I'm dealing with the collateral effects of it.

We are growing stronger!

We decided to work more on the web version of the teaser to reach more patrons for this project. This game still needs to perform a bit better on mobile browsers. We will start to conduct polls and begin the works on the continuation of the game as soon as we reach 11 patrons.

Web version ready! See in first hand some lewd upgrades

When you reorganize folders without touching the code

Teaser version uploaded! Now, the next step:

I just started to work on a web browser version for this teaser. I want to reach more players for this project.

Patreon didn't let us put this as our cover photo. I wonder why.
