Progress Update 1

Woooooo! So it begins!

This is the first progress update for the Episode 4. If you are new here, basically I ramble about what progress has been done towards next release, and also some other stuff if they influenced the progress. Let’s dive right into it!

As always, first irl related stuff. And it’s quite important. Probably most know that I am still a student, and my next, whi...

Early happy Halloween! & patreon update

Hey guys!
Just a quick Halloween special, I think Levy is perfect for this, and she could always use some more love 😍

I also just made some small edits on Patreon tiers, corrected some remaining mistakes (below are all the edits/changes for transparency).

Currently removed the WT mod related benefit as I will decide on how exactly I rele...

And once again, all the customs made in last 2 months and any random renders I did in that timeframe.

Also reminder as previously said, next progress report roughly 2nd/3rd of November!

Progress onward/small notice

Hey guys & girls!

First of all, a big thank you to everyone for their patience and for overall a positive response toward the new update. I hope everyone liked it and is excited for what's to come!

I wanted to make a post to address a few things, and I'll write it in paragraphs for everyone who wants to jump a specific part.

Walkthrough for Episode 3

Hey guys and girls, some important things to announce!

As many know, I was very apprehensive about making any walkthrough related content as that defeats the purpose of my game. However, as time went on, and especially after forcing players to restart with new saves for ep3 (my fault), I've realized that giving a helping hand to those in need isn't as detrimental as I thought. So I am rel...

Fates Collide Episode 3 Non-alcoholic release!

Hey guys!

Thank you so much for your patience! I am finally able to share the continuation of the Fates Collide story, the episode 3. Below you can find the appropriate links, Android should be coming soon. I'll add more non mega links if it's all confirmed working.

Episode 3 comes with:

1890 new renders

180 remade images from Ep2

7 animations

24 new songs View Post

Name the MC!

Unlike the last message which was some bad news, this time is something much better (not the release yet sorry).
We need to select the MC's name! Yup, that's right. As I am revamping a lot of script elements to minimize the chances of potential future save issues/restarts, making the MC named now could help in that. It's a bit of a short notice, and the poll will only last 24 hours, so make...

Important notice/old saves not working

Unfortunately, even though I've been trying to fix the last almost 24 hours, due to both big mistakes I've done previously in earlier releases, and overall small story flow/proofreading improvements that this new release is receiving (for ep1 and ep2 content too), many saves are NOT compatible.

As Beta testers have pointed out, there is quite a...

Release dates! (Last progress update)

Heyooo, the time is finally here!

As previously mentioned in my posts, the last week I've been busy learning animations (and oh boy, it's quite the pain trying to figure in a short amount of time). But, I managed to make, what at least I believe, a satisfactory result. Naturally, all input will be welcome later.

With that out of the way, all the biggest hurdles are behind us and...

Progress update 13

Another one!

What a week... It was actually great work wise, hence why no bad irl talk in this one. A total of 295 renders in one week, and yesterday being the record in one day, a total of 85. Finally some speed, mostly as I was finally alone at home without anyone bothering me. This gives me hope for the future too, as in a year or so I am hoping to move out.

Progress update 12

Phew, week sure goes by quick. 

Lets get straight into it.

It was a decent week. Besides some small irl stuff, managed to get a solid 5-6 days in. A total of 180 renders were made, and we are now just over 1 500 renders for ep3! 😮 Adding the ~180 of the reworked things from ep2, that's almost 1 700 new renders now... And that's a very important point.

So why did the ba...

WIP Sneaky Peaky 2

Phew, early morning for me so apologies if some mistakes in typing or overall Engrish.

Here is the 2nd (or 3rd depending if you look at one WIP) and last Sneak peek for now! Decided to post it a bit early, as due to development of ep3 being so slow I wanted to do it before the next payment cycle. If you are no longer a patron for next month, I hope you can check this in time at least! <...

Progress update 11

Woop, here we go again!

As previously mentioned, now back to weekly updates till the release. Although it's been even less than a week but uh oh weekly it is 😏

In these few days, decent progress done. Slightly slower as not only 6 days, but also I took a whole day to catch up to some stuff I neglected for a while.
Anyway, for ep3, 100 more renders have been done. Also most o...

What is this... Katana... Not complaining about irl really? How do I make a post without it?

Ok, jokes aside... 🤣

This was mostly a good week. My parents unfortunately stopped their vacation after only 3 days so they are back at home which is a downside, but on the upside I finally managed to accept my new (crappy) sleep schedule as a fact and started working accordingly to it....

Progress update 9

Hey guys!

Uh.
Lets start with “uh”. Remember last report and me mentioning researching and buying a motherboard? Well, it arrived! Aaaaaand then it went downhill afterwards. As those on Discord know, I’ve been facing many problems since I swapped the motherboards out. Of no booting issues (where I had to change to Legacy mode after some good suggestions) to overall cpu overheat...

Progress update 8

Heeyooo, back at it again.

Another progress update to share with you all. And to start things off… Was a decent progress!

Still slightly unhappy with rendering speed as some things continuously get in the way, but nothing major happened this time around. Like buying a NVME drive to realize you cannot install it as your motherboard doesn’t support it, so then you needed to resear...

Progress update 7

Phew. What a messy few weeks. You know it's a fun report if I talk about irl.
If you are here purely for progress, you can skip the next 3 paragraphs as those are about irl situations and problems.
First and foremost, what many might have wondered, yes. I am A-OK, the Covid is thankfully gone and I am now again healthy. It sure was a bitch, even after te...

Health/progress report

Hey guys & girls.

Just wanted to notify you that this weekend there will be no progress report update. Unfortunately, my health went to shit. First some back pain, which forced me to limit my time on pc, and now I got Covid. It's quite bad, as I had yesterday extremely high temperatures (39.5-40 C), alongside coughing, headaches, cold sweats and more.. With all that, it's better to sk...

Freedom continues!

Jokes aside, another 2 weeks are behind us. And I got some more decent work done.

Only smaller issue was getting a migraine at the start of last week, possibly due to finally calming down a bit and body's reaction to finally being less tense. Lost some time there, but besides that, no major hiccups.

Progress update 4 (first days of freedom)

Heya folks!

Been a while, hasn't it. Lets get straight down to business. 

First off, Uni. I am proud to say that I passed more or less everything (waiting STILL for results on one course, but I am pretty sure I passed that one too). That means, I finished this academic year, and I fulfilled the initial plan of doing it without any extra exams. So yay me 🤯

That means I ...

To start off, while I am still waiting for all the grades to come in (most likely will take up to 5-7 days), the overall exams and group projects seem to have gone well, meaning...
I am free!!

If it really is the case with the grades, I am officially done with my 1st Master year on uni (...

Progress update 3 (2 weeks away from freedom)

Aaaand 3rd one the charm. I wish. 

Once again, 2 weeks of pain. The university keeps being relentless, so to nobody's surprise, the progress is still slow. But as the title says, now I am 2 weeks away from finishing this year (if all goes well). so these is a silver lining I guess.

Last few days I've been feeling quite down with my game and progress, but I managed to bounce bac...

Monthly wallpaper change + extras

Heya guys, just a small update before Easter.

1) Monthly change (relevant for Beer pongs and above): After some consideration, and also checking out (and subbing!) to other devs and their Patreons, I realized that slightly altering the monthly wallpaper voting would be welcome. 

So instead of girls going into cooldown periods of 2 months, they ...
