Status update September
This was not a small month for us. We finalized our first major release! I think we took a huge step from the dev preview and even from the 0.9.0 version.But we know there is still a lot to do. I think most people will wonder which direction the game takes now. Some parts I can disclose, but will go to detail later whe...
Terror 0.1.0
Link: PC & MACChangelog from 0.0.9:- We added skills. Most skills will start being useful later. But Charisma and intelligence already have some effect!- Some GUI changes, now you can skip time at the end, to see the different lightning!- Some editing, grammar fixes, small adjustments- Scene 25 redone!- Fixed some issu...
Status Update!
Hi everyone, status update in the middle of the month!From experience that is usually a very bad sign. In this particular case, it isn’t. Quite the opposite.But let’s take a look at where we stand.WritingAbout 30% of the text is proofread. I think I will manage the rest on the weekend, however the text is generally...
Status update August
We have finished rendering everything. Not every scene is yet perfect and I assume we still have at least a week for doing fixes, some re-rendering because we are not yet happy. Maybe two weeks.How much is it in size? Over 800 unique, high quality renders in total, 15+ Animation sequences, including both daz and blende...
Character Introduction - Mina
Mina is a Serbian girl that wants to live a good life. Her parents were immigrants and relatively poor, but she was given a chance to study and make something out of life.Money is crucial for her, but she is also lazy. Eventually, to her luck, she realized pretty girls don’t have to work as hard as others. A fact she...
Messages
Sometimes it's the small things.One of the things that will occupy our attention quite a bit going into chapter 1, is the gui. It will be a sandbox game. So there are multiple ways to implement things. Starting with the container: laptop, phone, menu etc.But for Chapter 0, we already had some messages implemented a...
The light & the dark & monthly update
Picture is me sketching for a new design logo. On hold, because I don't seem to hit the spot and there are more important matters at hand.I've mentioned this about a month ago. We will split the Patreon page into two, to give each patron the option to support what he wants to support.Originally the idea was to ...
Terror_0.01_Alpha
As announced.The first part of Terror, not yet perfected, there are 2 scenes missing. Some correction and postwork still needs to be done etc. Consider it an Alpha, but hopefully one of the most interesting Alpha's you have played so far.The full chapter follows, including all and any correction to the existing par...
The evolution of animation
View at your own risk. I have tried to exclude the most gruesome products of our development.You already know what we can do with animations, given enough time. But that wasn't always the case. We had quite a long road before us when we initially started.We didn't know right away what software we could use. The...
Update cycles
I have been asking myself this question for a while. I would love to do monthly updates, but the chapters are definitely bigger than what we, or any dev team, can do in a month. Now in the first part I have a good point where I can stop in between the chapter. But that might not always be the case. So what do you prefe...
June Update!
We finished Karma completely this month. Including animations and for the first time didn't eventually publicize a release. It is a release just meant for you.Since then we, as promised, went fully towards terror.I mentioned that you could expect a release of a few hundred renders in July. It will be later in July,...
Karma Final Patron release
I have announced it end of last month and previously. There will be animations!We added them and quite frankly I can't wait for feedback.What you see in the header is just one out of four daz animations, there are over 10 Blender animations added as well. I do not want to spoil anything more. I believe it's rea...
May Update
We are still doing animations. Problem we had when trying to animate the bigger scenes in Blender, we had too little VRAM (8GB -> 6.5GB). Now we bought a bigger model we could afford. 12gb ->10.5 GB and faster as well, so we are hoping to have put that issue behind us.Now we can animate the bad paths of Karma in Blende...
Karma 1.0
I wanted to share the "final" version of Karma with you. There is no new content compared to before, but fixes/improvements for this release.What changed:- still quite a few text fixes- We added a gallery- some renders were fixed/improved- Path's were fixed. Now to see the worst ending, you have to follow t...

Some fixes are still needed. In comparison to the alpha:- sound improved - we added an ending screen - ton of minor bug fixeshttps://workupload.com/file/zb6CWfP9UGc
Karma Final Alpha
tl;dr: download linksPC: https://workupload.com/file/e6YyB7UrU8DMAC: https://workupload.com/file/vyaNwcX6vSvChangelog:Renamed Hello World to Karma. What has been changed for this release:- Post work, you've seen the difference!- We added Sound!- New writer went over the text and added some small things here and the...
Post work improvement
I mentioned this a few weeks ago. Did we create a post-work pipeline that helps us with practically no extra effort to increase our render quality? Yes we did and we are happy with it!Added renders to compare. It looks almost a little bit like we unlocked 4k with 10bit!So that you will also be able to enjoy and see the...
Map
We might still change the evening map, I like it the least and there is room for improvement. Some in between renders, a google earth reference (Can't use that because of "terms of use").The issue with free satellite texture's you should also be able to see, hence the reason we tweaked that texture and ...
Terror Map
That was a lot of work...This map has been done entirely in Blender, through various means. Initially we wanted to animate it, but quite frankly it took too much time already. We will publish this later on Twitter as well.Naturally there is a day-version too, that preview will be done patron only.There will be some mor...
Discord
I've done some work on discord. The commands "/exchange gold/dark" and "/date" should be completely hidden now.I have however disabled the possibility for temporary chats, as they needed to open up a voice chat.I've given every patron I could find some currency to test those two commands out. us...
End of March update!
We reached our first goal - 10 patrons!Originally I wanted to send you some coins on discord. That feature is not widely used yet, so instead we've made you a render and added some post work to it (learning still in progress).So I am sure you are curious how it's going.First, as you can see, we are extending ou...
Late
Hey Guys,Short update, as I should have given the monthly update last week and didn't manage.Currently a lot on the plate and my mind, privately, on the job, as well as with the war in Ukraine. We have Dev's that are not directly involved (yet) but are close to that region. If anything should change in this reg...
Melissa renders
Two renders I like a lot, thought I'd share them with you.
Hands too big?
I really like the render "Wolverine", some dev's think the hands are too big in this particular viewpoint. It's a bit of a guys vs girls situation here.What do you think?Depending on the results the render will be in the game or not!
Progress update
Though month, to be honest. Currently working about 45 hours a week on my main job, plus doing an additional higher certification. That one should be done in a month.In the evening I come to the project and fix things with our dev's and make sure everything goes smoothly. Or write somewhere something, to get a bit ...
Mina
There will be another end of month update post.For now I just wanted to show you Mina, our second generation immigrant from eastern europe.
Discord
Remember when I told you I will let someone else do the discord bots?Yeah, I did that. Twice. It did not work out.Initial agreed date for everything to finish on his side was the end of last year, then 9.1. On the 14.1 I got the broken, unfinished code. About 30% of the planned functions worked.I had two choices, eithe...
2022
Assuming you read the first part, you can probably guess what the main topic's in the near future are.AnimationI can't and won't promise anything in this regard. The only thing that I do promise, is that it's an extremely important topic for me. I want us to do well there and I will do what I can, for u...
2021 look back
This was a very interesting year for us, we finally had our first release.But where exactly were we a year ago?It was always important to me, that I am not the only one that is capable of something. I've seen creators like Icstor, who had a burnouts. Many projects were closed down because the creator either didn...
