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. Right now I'm thinking about expanding the Abili...
2024-04-28 15:29:22 +0000 UTC View PostThere'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 not improved. In fact, it's creeping worse. The l...
2024-04-22 10:34:23 +0000 UTC View PostWell, 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 version, so if you decide to take it to some site, sha...
2024-04-04 21:17:11 +0000 UTC View PostIf 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 talking about).
What now?
<... 2024-03-31 01:42:46 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate 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 with some specific combinations of different variabl...
2024-03-23 16:10:20 +0000 UTC View PostTo 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 weaker the next day. Nevertheless, for almost three...
2024-03-22 18:12:22 +0000 UTC View PostJust 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 game. And as far as I've been able to test everythin...
2024-03-14 21:14:09 +0000 UTC View PostDay 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 and minor spoilers for the upcoming update.

2024-02-24 06:44:37 +0000 UTC View PostPatron 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, will probably be comparable in size. Despite the ex...
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 draft of the next update done. But there's a tiny ...
2024-01-31 10:29:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe 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 want to miss a chance to detail and show quite a uniq...
2024-01-14 19:05:30 +0000 UTC View PostFirst 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 development, as you may have guessed, has been......
2023-12-24 05:34:09 +0000 UTC View PostUsually, 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 convenient, so I doing the draft of a whole series of scene...
2023-11-30 14:01:25 +0000 UTC View PostEverything 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.

2023-11-20 22:44:16 +0000 UTC View PostWell, 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 comments for free followers on content they can s...
2023-11-10 09:35:18 +0000 UTC View PostWell, 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 the game itself. In brief, a few arts and portrait...
2023-11-03 00:40:09 +0000 UTC View PostWatch 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 investment in Vigor will be like: "Ugh! Ugh! Yea...

Well, let's get started.
Cadonis.
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.
2023-10-19 17:33:38 +0000 UTC View PostSo, 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 dragged out any longer.
I've already told eve...
2023-09-30 06:48:04 +0000 UTC View PostA 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 understanding. Yeah, it's about a desirable deadline. Again...
2023-09-20 00:22:28 +0000 UTC View PostWell, 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 update at the end of September. Or around that ti...
2023-08-31 12:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostAnd 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 not) interact with, and in what order. This is gener...
2023-08-14 18:57:43 +0000 UTC View PostHave 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, albeit conventionally, reflect ancient Indian mil...
2023-07-29 08:38:04 +0000 UTC View PostI 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't worried, because... What's the problem? I guess ...
2023-07-22 04:24:47 +0000 UTC View PostSo 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 count on September, and if I make it sooner, let that...

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 there are a couple of corrected typos in Chapter 1 ...

In general, the content of 1.5 is sensitive to whether you go through the Cadonis or Iolanta arc. So many things depend on it... 2023-06-16 13:20:26 +0000 UTC View Post
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.
