Dev Report #36 (March 31st, 2024)
🕑 Added 2024-03-31 19:45:51 +0000 UTCYo! And Happy Easter!
Going to start this off by saying that pledges will not be paused this month, please adjust your pledges accordingly. All content that would be posted in April will be available to all former patrons via the discord so you won't have to miss anything.
I want to pause but after doing so for 5 out of the last 6 months, things are getting to a point where I just sorta cant.
I've continued working for all of these months, but I have been pausing due to me being stuck on a scene and missing many goals because of that and I will continue to pause whenever I can if things don't improve.
Now to talk about this week,
I managed to finish the scene I was working on for Episode 14 and as of yesterday I've started to go through Episode 13 again and alter what I feel needs to be changed.
There is a plan in place, I know exactly what I want from it and whenever I feel it's in a good spot then things will be released.
(Update should be 800+ renders and 20+ animations. 400 renders from the end of Episode 13 and 400 renders from the start of Episode 14)
This week I managed to make 121 new renders and 3 new animations for Episode 14, I'm also about 20 renders deep into alterations for Episode 13. I also managed to make 62 more renders for the redo.
I only managed to add Bailey to the character sheets this week, but I do plan on posting a few more in the next couple of days.
I also finished up all of the writing for Chapter 2 and made more progress on a couple of sets.
It was a solid week of work.
This upcoming week I plan on continuing to make progress on Episode 13, on my other machine I do plan on working on Scene 4 of Episode 14. (Just because I don't really want to work on Episode 13 from multiple points, feels like it may cause more trouble than good.)
And I plan to continue rendering out some already made scenes for the redo.
Those are my main focuses but I do intend on posting a few character sheets whenever I have some downtime. (Such as loading different scenes)
A couple of reports ago I mentioned that I felt stuck and like I was just spinning the tires with no traction.
Well, while it sucks that it has taken as long as it has, working ahead and letting myself cool off has made revisiting Episode 13 much easier. I feel like I have a very clear path to follow. Lots of traction.
But once again, there will not be any set release dates or targets until things are finished and compiled.
I'm continuing to post the daily tracker on discord, I also plan to start posting a few additional teasers there as well. And I'll be letting you guys know of any news or whatever regarding the update as things continue to progress.
With all this said, I'm going to get back to work! 😁
Once again thank you all for your patience and understanding. I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful week and I'll talk to all of you soon!

Quick question I can’t seem to find a way into the discord can anyone help me out?
Ryan
Just go at your own pace and don't push your self to far

It's always better to have the work split between machines, that way you can still work while the other is rendering.

No sry there is no link

don't matter how long it takes, this project is way to good to be rushed. Much better to have everything on par with the quality you have already produced. You are an artist and don't let anyone ruin your creativity just cause you feel like you need to rush to deliver. One question though, does this mean we will get episodes 13 and 14 at the same time, cause that would be frikkin awesome! Keep up the great work!

to get to the discord you go onto membership tab then you see it as you scroll down a little hope that helps you nick :)

I appreciate the transparency but hearing about episode 14 stuff being done isn’t as cool as just getting the episode 13 we thought we were getting a while back ya know ? I get the artistic side of it but it’s getting harder to stay patient knowing we’re ahead of schedule just not on schedule if that makes sense ?
Nick Eberle
Hi a have a question i know its not important but where can i find the discord?
Lee Rutkowski
There is other devs out there that only put updates out every 6 months or longer and don't pause pledges... so don't cut yourself short

Remake of the beginning is still happening, pretty sure he works on it here and there but isn't in a rush to get it done. Discord has more info on it

Happy Easter! Do not pause pledges! We know you're working hard. We would all rather a release every 3 months that is well done and bug free than a rushed mess. Game development is a roller coaster for sure. I know there's pressure on you and there's a ton more transparency with people on Patreon but the negative comments are in the minority. Don't put yourself in a hole over this. We are supporting you monthly while you develop because we choose to. There's no release schedule or contract we signed up for. Release when it's done correctly. Take care of yourself.

It's nice to hear that things are getting clearer to how you want things cause writers block and just being stuck on certain things is sometimes like trying to climb out of a endless pit. No matter how long it will take i'm still going to support and wait cause i literally think you are the best creator when it comes to stories and animations. Hope you are doing well mentally aswell, keep being you boss :)

Hi, I have been away for a long while and I remember you thinking about doing a remake of the first part of the game. Is there any new info about it or has it been done already? ( not trying to push or anything)
