Secret Dawn v0.10 [Exclusive Release]
Added 2025-02-20 09:43:22 +0000 UTCHey good people,
This update is a couple days late, so I want to start by apologizing for that. I caught a bit of a cold, which threw off my timing, but things are back on track now.
Story-wise, this is the most impactful update in a while, marking a major turning point. As I mentioned in the progress update, that doesn't mean it's rushing things in terms of explicitness. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, but this was the right stopping point given the update schedule, and it sets up good things to come.
As you can see in the attached changelog, there are a lot of mechanical changes. I've done my best to iron out any game-breaking bugs, but let me know if you run into any.
Edit: There's a bug affecting some forms of event detection. This is fixed in the dev build, but for now, you might need to load a later save to skip certain scenes. This especially applies to Jon’s panty-selection mission (Delta 2), which can be skipped using premade save 15.
Enjoy!

2025-02-24 15:52:00 +0000 UTCThe "one antagonist" outcome is planned to be the main one. But, as you point out, there is an aspect of general corruption in the interactions with her supporters, as well. How far that goes (f. ex. how physical it gets) will be left more up to the player. The goal is to make sure it adds to the tension between the main characters, rather than detracts from it.

2025-02-22 19:01:41 +0000 UTCThats awesome!! One more question; which kind of NTR are you anticipating, the „one antagonist steals her“ kind of type or the „village plaything“-kinda way? Obviously eva will not be completely exclusive for the Antagonist as she already does favors for her supporters, which I like due to story reasons, still I am more into the first type of NTR. Just curious what youre planning… maybe even both routes?

2025-02-22 08:50:40 +0000 UTCHey, I can ease your worries in that regard. I share your feelings about MC and it won't have a substantial role in the future.

2025-02-22 08:44:48 +0000 UTCThanks I've already got a character fully made and I have some 19 more planned. But going back to what you said I actually noticed something in that case. In the latest bathroom scene where Eva is doing the fan request with the other girl she is wearing her old outfit while her sprite is in her new outfit not sure if intentional but just a heads up!

2025-02-22 08:23:15 +0000 UTCfirst of all thx for the hard work. Personally I am a quite worried that this goes in the direction of mind control. I am a huge fan of corruption and NTR and your set up so far has been incredible (not taking into account all the tedious mini games - though the last ones were much better as they were faster paced and easier to solve). But now your using mind control to get Eva to follow Kelly? That was a big turn off for me. I now it comes down to personal preferences, still I really didn't like it. I do hope the focus on mind control is only minor and rather follows a small plot line. Otherwise I am out. I know thats harsh, but thats just not my kind of thing. Hope you understand. Anyways thanks for the hard work so far. Cheers!

2025-02-21 18:51:35 +0000 UTCEva and other chars are indeed going to continue getting more/new outfits as we progress, yeah! And it's very true about the rendering nightmare thing, I have to basically be strategic about enforcing a certain outfit when I do a scene so that I don't have to render it in too many different variations. Have fun cooking!~
Haldane Works
2025-02-21 13:09:39 +0000 UTCchallengesssss? niceeee I know that multiple outfits can become a rendering nightmare if it gets out of hand but I'm excited to see if Eva's outfits are a progression thing or something else you may be cooking up entirely. nevertheless I'm really glad I found your project it is a real gem indeed and I'm assuming models are HS2 so it inspired me to re download and get cooking

2025-02-21 10:37:31 +0000 UTCHey, glad you like it! Yes, due to the nature of visual memories (added last update) they can't register earlier content unless you play through anew. As for the Jon/Eva discrepancy, thanks for pointing that out. I'll go through and remake all the premade saves, but it takes a while to get them right. I wanted to keep the modeling challenges available in as many of the the premade saves as possible, in case a new player wanted to experience them. However, the next ones I make will come with the (preceding) challenges already done.
Haldane Works
2025-02-21 10:33:42 +0000 UTCGreat update and wonderful cliff hanger only problem I've ran into is trying to access memories while using your pre existing saves. Other than that I noticed that in the latest saves Eva has not yet done the Modeling task but on John's saves she already has just a small thing.

2025-02-21 10:05:33 +0000 UTCOkay, thanks. It's likely happening due to some outdated data in your save file, but I am still trying to find the exact cause.

2025-02-20 19:20:12 +0000 UTCHi, thanks for reporting this. Did you continue an old save of yours, load a premade save, or make a new save?

2025-02-20 18:53:39 +0000 UTCthe game has a bug. When I go to talk to Kelly outside the forest and then follow him, the game crashes and shows an error.

2025-02-20 18:50:47 +0000 UTCWhat a cliffhanger indeed! Looking forward to the next update!

2025-02-20 17:43:47 +0000 UTCHaha, thank you. :) It's true, the next updates are going to require a lot of energy, but luckily I'm in good health in general.
