Dev Update - 2025/06/20

Hey everyone,

first Dev Update for Chapter 7.
I started the development of Chapter 7 roughly 3 weeks ago. As usual, I plan the scenes, order them within the chapter, and so on.
I try to keep Chapter 7 smaller than Chapter 6 (yeah, yeah, I know...) because I don't want another 8-month-long dev cycle.

So one focus was to decide which scenes would be in this chapter, and which co...

Katherine special renders

Hey everyone,

pulled up a character I created a while ago and did a bit of a rework to her.
This is Katherine version2 ;-)

The Neverwhere Tales Q&A 2 - your questions

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about another round of Q&A and now seems a good time to do it.
Like last time, the first step will be to collect questions and I will try to avoid questions/answers that might lead to spoilers.
Other than that, ask me anything. :-)

To ask your questions, you can either use the comment function here or the corresponding channel on 2025-06-13 06:58:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 7 - questions MC should ask his parents

Hey everyone,

I have a 2nd scene with the MC's parents planned for Chapter 7 (comparable to the scene in Chapter 5) where the parents can answer questions the MC (the player) might have.

I have the stuff I have in mind covered, of course. But I learned from the CH5 scene that a player might have more or different questions. Questions the stupid dev didn't think of or thought were ...

The Devlog after all the Devlogs

Or whatever you want to call it...

I'm in the process of wrapping up version 0.6.0.1 which will be the version released to the Mercenary tier and Steam tomorrow.

It includes a few minor fixes in the code and some renders, but nothing game-breaking.

Because of the upcoming post with the new version, I unpinned the post with the 0.5.0.5 version.

It's still there if you nee...

Thank you for over 200 paid subscribers

Hey everyone,

I passed the 200 paid subscribers threshold for the first time ever earlier today which is awesome.
I feel like I don't say it enough, but thank you to everyone for your support.
It's secondary which tier you're on or for how long. The sole fact that there are that many people out there who willingly put their hard-earned money behind my project is still hard to believ...

Chapter 6 Links for Chaplain tier and higher

Hey everyone,

Update: had to re-upload everything because of leaked links to GDRIVE. New links below.

Downloadlinks for Chapter 6 below.
I tried a patch-only version for the first time. We tested it, of course, but please keep in mind that I never provided that before, so it's still possible to be buggy.

I hope it doesn't get shared as quickly as last time.
I know,...

Chapter 6 - Beta version and release schedule

Hey everyone,

I just sent out the links for the Beta version to my testers.
This version is pretty much complete. It's just missing an animation at the end of the game, the renders for the gallery, and the thumbnails for the achievements. The functionalities are implemented, but there are "just" placeholder images as of now.
This will be my work for the next few days while the test...

Last Dev Update for Chapter 6

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the last Dev Update for Chapter 6.
This week was rather busy with stuff unrelated to the game, like a national holiday and a 2-day business trip.
My goal was to finish the work for the last scene before the chapter finale before the business trip and then to see how far I could get after coming back.
I finished that scene on time and also managed to code...

Dev Update - 2025/04/25

Hey everyone,

Chapter 6 is now "officially" bigger than Chapter 5 in every regard. This week, it has passed the CH5 count for static renders and script lines (animations quite a while ago).

Not sure what that says about the quality of my planning, as I thought it would be a bit smaller (No, thanks, no need to tell me - I DO know, I just choose to ignore it :-P).

I didn't man...

Dev Update - 2025/04/18

Hey everyone,

A pretty productive week lies (almost) behind me. With most of the RL shit getting better, and yes she is making good progress according to the docs, I find it easier to sit down and concentrate. And I have more time for it, of course.

Overall, I'm pleased with the progress, especially because the next 4 days will be busy with family stuff.
I hope to finish the wor...

Dev Update - 2025/04/11

Hey everyone,

This week, I started work on the last scene before the chapter finale.
It will be a pretty long scene, so I expect it to take me at least next week and the one after that to move on to the chapter finale.
At least, the chapter finale isn't planned to be as complicated as the one of Chapter 5 or 3 with the cinematics at the end.
So work on that should go faster than ...

Preview renders - 2025/04/04

It's been a while since I posted preview renders because I tried to avoid spoilers.
But because I moved on to the next scene, I can show a few more previews until I get to work on the chapter finale.

Dev Update - 2025/04/04

Hey everyone,

Numbers first:
75 new static renders for a total of 2240
0 new animations
162 new lines in the script file for a total of 6412

Seems a bit on the lower side but considering that I also wrapped up the largest test build of this Chapter this week, I'm pretty happy with the progress.
Said test build is most likely the last one before Beta and it's already...

Poll: Jessica's Outfit for a future club scene

Hey everyone,

I've been planning ahead a bit, and for one of the scenes, I plan to have Jessica in a club environment.

Since I usually have several ideas for potential outfits, I thought, why not make a poll out of it?

Here we are. Poll ends on April 12th, 4k versions attached below.

Dev Update - 2025/03/28

Hey everyone,

The numbers for this week:
80 new static renders for a total of 2165
0 new animations
228 new lines in the script file for a total of 6250

I finished setting up the renders and the script for the scene I've been working on. Now, the PCs need to catch up with rendering.
After that is done, I can create the next test build, which will hopefully happen next w...

Dev Update - 2025/03/21

Hey everyone,

The numbers for this week:
46 new static renders for a total of 2085
20 new animations for a total of 96
165 new lines in the script file for a total of 6022

I'm done with the animations (for now) and will focus on the remaining script and static renders for the current scene.
After I'm done, I can create the next test build.

Regarding the "hospita...

Color of My Sound – a story-driven Sci-Fi adult visual novel!

Hey everyone,

I rarely do shoutouts, let alone cross-promos.
The reason is simple: I don't have a lot of time to play other games and I won't recommend games I haven't played.
Color of My Sound is one of the rare exceptions because of its pretty unique style in the AVN world.
And since I already cooperated with Gallant Trombe on Steam, it was a no-brainer when he approached me f...

Dev Update - 2025/03/14

Hey everyone,

same as last week, the numbers at the start of the post:
32 new static renders for a total of 2039
13 new animations for a total of 76
90 new lines in the script file for a total of 5857

Other than that, there are no real news regarding my situation.
For every step forward, we take 2 steps back it seems. My mother got another infection earlier this w...

Dev Update - 2025/03/07

Hey everyone,

No real news for the game development outside a bit of progress.
The numbers this week are up here, so you don't have to read the rest just to get the status update:
19 new static renders for a total of 2007
9 new animations for a total of 63
65 new lines in the script file for a total of 5767

As you can see, the numbers are pretty much on par with last wee...

Dev Update - 2025/02/28

Hey everyone,

I'll keep this one short because we're about to head to the hospital.
No real news from that front, sadly.

With the little time available, I focused on getting some renders done and a few animations because that's what I can best concentrate on right now.

The numbers for this week:
21 new static renders for a total of 1988
7 new animations for a total of...

Dev Update - 2025/02/21 - can we please skip 2025?

Hey everyone,

February hasn't even reached its end, and it feels like I already had my share of shit for a full year.

The good news: the flu is finally fucking off, and I'm feeling better.
The bad news: my mother was hospitalized on Wednesday night with sepsis and is in critical condition. They don't know where it came from, and she's about to undergo surgery within the next few...

Dev Update - 2025/02/14

Hey everyone,

I'm slowly feeling better but still not fully recovered.
What a shitshow...
At least I'm out of bed and can start getting back to work now.
My concentration is still not back to the level of being healthy, so next week's progress will still be slower than usual. :-(
Usually, the evenings are the time when I can get the most TNT work done but I'm dead tired in th...
