Greetings! This is a bugfix update to 10.0, but it does (re-)add one feature: lighting. A couple of scenes in 10.0 look much better with lighting on, so now you’ll get to see them the way they were intended! Here’s the link, which is the same folder as before:
I apologize for spamming you like this. I was made aware of a serious bug in which the second Oracle scene (from 10.0) plays when the first one should (from 0.8, on Shiri's quest.) That's a pretty bad bug and will ruin a lot of story surprises, so I wanted to get the fix out as soon as possible. ...

At this point, I think I’ve provided it to everyone who’s supposed to get it, so if you are supposed to but have not, please PM me your username or Patreon...

Greetings! It’s taken a long, long time, but The Proteus Effect 10.0 is finally done. I won’t say it’s been worth the wait, but it’s done, and I like it. First, the link, and then a few words about the release:
I’m uploading 10.0 for supporters right now, so that means it’s time to publicly release 0.9.8! In this release, a new district opens in Ogremarsh, and an old friend(?) unexpectedly arrives. Alex and the others also try to get help for their fight against the dragon by visiting a sl...
2022-06-14 17:25:40 +0000 UTC View PostA quick update: the final polishing phase is taking longer than I’d expected because I’ve ran into a few bugs. I have one major one taken care of (for now,) but the other is more serious and complicated to fix. I’ll get it fixed as fast as I can, but I just wanted to let you know what was g...
2022-06-08 06:29:05 +0000 UTC View PostI've completed everything for Chapter 10 and am now beginning the final testing/editing phase. I really wanted to have it done before the end of the month, but I wasn't quite able to make it.
As a reminder, if you were a $5+ supporter at any point since December, you're entitled to this ...
Greetings! I’m still alive and working on the game, but I’m afraid the release still isn’t done. My best estimate for when it will be is toward the middle of next month. My track record for estimating these things is notoriously poor, but that’s my best guess as of right now. As always, i...
2022-04-29 19:49:49 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'm still alive; I'm very sorry for not posting for quite a while. In truth, I didn't really know what to say - I'm still not done with the release. I continue to work on it, but my productivity has been pretty poor this month, and a lot of it has to do with the situation in Ukraine. I...

Now that that’s out of the way: greetings! I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the release isn’t done yet. I’m not sure if I’ll be done before the end of the month, but honestly it’s looking like probably not at this point. I w...

Greetings! I hope this post finds you well. As probably doesn’t surprise you, the release isn’t yet done. I’m still at work on it and don’t have anything particularly interesting to report. This is how I suspected it’d be, but I still thought it’d be good to check in, particularly sin...
2022-02-01 00:03:57 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I get your hopes up - no, this isn’t the new release. This is the (hopefully? finally?) last bugfix release for 0.9. Before I get into it, though, here are the links:
2022-01-23 11:59:17 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! First, I want to wish all of you a happy new year! Hopefully this will be a year of growth and good fortune for all of us. So celebrate, have some fun, and get ready for the year ahead!
The other thing I'm writing to let you know is that the release isn't done yet. I'd hoped to h...

Greetings!
I hope you've all enjoyed Christmas, and had lots of fun with family and friends! Or if not, I hope you at least spent some time relaxing and enjoying yourself. I hope Santa was kind to you this year - and I hope you left him some cookies!
Let's make 2022 the best year yet....
2021-12-26 03:31:58 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! Before I get your hopes up, this is not the next story/content release, this is the final version of the current release. First, the links:
Greetings! There aren't any milestones to share, but I did want to let you know that I'm still at work on the next release, and it doesn't yet look like there's going to be a delay. I'll let you know if it starts looking like that will happen, but progress has been good so far.

Greetings! It's about time to put a date on the wall for 0.10's release, so here it is: December 22. This is a tentative release date, so it's possible the release will be delayed, but even if there is a delay I don't think it will be by much. I want to have 0.10 out before the end of th...

Greetings! There aren't any major milestones to report, but I wanted to check in with all of you - and give you another teaser for the upcoming H-scene ;) Work continues on The Hell's quest; I'd hoped to have all the pre-dungeon writing done, but it isn't quite there yet. I did finish the mapping...

Greetings! Though I've mostly been working on non-art stuff, I did finish Yulia's character design and thought it might be fun to share. Yulia, as you may recall, is part of The Hell, the PvP guild who've garnered sort of a reputation as meanies and bullies. She's the only girl in the gr...

Greetings! First, I want to say I’m very sorry for the long delay in posting. As is usually the case when you don’t hear from me for a while, I was working on something that I wanted to have finished before posting, so that I could report it was complete, and it ended up taking (much) longer ...

Greetings! Work continues on the H-scene - the good news is that the art's done, but I'm still in the middle of writing. In celebration of the art being complete, I figured you might like to see a little of it :D
This has been a big scene, and the art has occupied most of my time since last...

Greetings! Work continues on 0.10; since the last update, mostly on H-scene images. There's 6 left to finish now, not counting postwork; I'd hoped to be about done with them by now, but it's taking longer than expected. The extra work has gone into getting the poses to look more natural, trying s...

Greetings! Work continues on 0.10; I've been dividing development time roughly 50/50 between working on the long quest and working on H-scene images. The above is one of the scene's early images - I hope you like it! I really liked doing this one - I spent quite a while working on the expressions...

Greetings! I'm sorry for the delay in posting... as happens with me a lot, I said: "I'll post the update as soon as I'm done with this thing" - usually something specific I want to share with you - and then that thing ends up being more complicated or problem-laden than I'd anticipated. I'll shar...
2021-07-20 22:34:55 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'm pretty happy about this release, but I want to make clear it doesn't have any new content. This release was mostly about improving stability, adding a new feature, and fixing bugs (including a pretty important one!) I'm going to talk a little about what's changed, but if you just w...
2021-06-29 21:32:40 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! Progress continues, and this week's post is mostly about the writing. But first there's a little to cover about the freezing and crashing problems some people are experiencing, so let's start with that!
Final 0.9 Release
First, I want to thank everyone who ...
2021-06-22 07:21:25 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'm sorry to bug you about this again so soon. I'm trying to figure out how widespread this freezing/crashing problem is, and whether or not it increased in 0.9. I think it did, but it would definitely be helpful to confirm that. If you have a few moments, I'd really appreciate it if y...
2021-06-15 15:23:27 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'll be posting a progress update in a few days, but I'm writing now to ask for assistance testing something for the game. The 0.9 series of releases has seen far more complaints about stability than previous ones. Random freezes, crashes, that sort of thing. The later 0.9.x releases w...
