Here’s how the model you selected in the poll looks in practice.

If you’ve played The First Descendant, you might recognize her ;)

After introducing Darya Kruscheva from Russia, we continue our world tour, this time, heading to China.

Meet Tian Zi ( Child of Heaven ) the young leader of a Chinese Triad, who’s also connected to another Chinese character in the game.

I'm trying to make as much progress as possible on the side scenes before May 19, which marks four months since the public release of version 0.2.

But the important date is today, May 13, 2025, which marks the first anniversary of the game.

if your party doesn't look like this, don't bother inviting me.

I didn’t plan anything special for the occasion, because I believe it’s more valuable to use my time in DAZ Studio to push the next update forward, rather than spend five hours creating a set of bonus renders. Maybe next year, who knows.

In any case, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting the game.

How Do You Like Them Apples?

I'm starting to get the first impatient messages, which is a good sign I guess, because it means they like the game.

But I’ll be honest, version 0.2 took 5 and a half months to complete, and 0.3 will likely take a bit longer.

Renders take time (I do over fifty a week), and the coding does too, especially since I try to put a lot of care into sound effects and music.

I really encourage you to play with sound on by the way, it makes a big difference.

I want to be honest with you, I don’t want to waste the money of people who aren’t interested in previews and are just waiting for the release. So if you’d prefer to take a break and come back later, that’s totally okay. The update’s not ready yet.

In a few weeks, once I’ve finished a few more scenes, things should be a lot clearer. My goal is to make it worth the wait, quality over speed (I hope).

Thank's everyone!
