Weekly progress log #8

Hey everyone,

I don't have much to talk about this progress log, so I will talk about a bit of everything while hopefully keeping it somewhat shorter this time around.

I'm still writing the dialogue for the next episode and I expect that I will be stuck doing that for quite a whi...

Weekly progress log #7

Hey everyone,

In in this week's progress log (one without a cover illustration for which I am sorry!), I'd mostly like to introduce a feature that has been promised for some time - the codex.

Not to take undue credit, 99.99% of the coding framework is from an asset provided by Skolaztika which I found on itch.io. So, as much as I'd like this to be my own doing, all ...

Weekly progress log #6

Hey everyone,

My school obligations are dealt with, so I have free reign to do  nothing but work on Elvensang for at least a few weeks until I have to  finalize my master's thesis in March (which I postponed from the original November deadline if anyone remembers that).

Weekly progress log #5

Hey everyone,

First and foremost, it's time to announce the results of the side character content poll! I closed and counted the votes, and after removing a few duplicates and adding a Kindred vote from Subscribestar, the result is this:

Kara - 7 votes
Olevia - 12 votes
Becky - 8 vot...

Weekly progress log #4

Hey everyone,

despite the nearly three-week delay, I will be resuming weekly progress logs from this week forward. Because of exams at school, January has been packed with action much like December and it's going to be that way for another two weeks. It does make writing a bit of a challenge unfo...

Weekly progress log #3 - Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone,

I'm almost a week late with this progress log, but hopefully Sunny in a Christmas hat will earn me some forgiveness from you (even if I realized only now that I forgot to draw her ears)

Moving into 2022, I want to redouble my efforts with Elvensang's development - t...

Public interest poll for extra side character content in Episode 4

This is a copy of the Patron voting poll for a scene with a side character in the next episode. Like the title suggests, this poll does not decide anything - unless the unlikely happens and the result of the Patron poll is a tie. Its main purpose is to give you a look at what people are voting for even if you are not a patron and perhaps show what side character you might favor...

Weekly public log #2

Hey everyone,

first of all, the Patron polls for extra side character content as teased in the previous public log are now live. Don't forget to vote if you are $5 tier Patron and above!

Aside from that, I've spent much of the last week drawing a few scenes to use in the next episode while putting the script together in my mind. I'd like to work on raising the image to text ratio, p...

Weekly Public Log #1

Firstly, I would like to thank the Patrons who took their time to provide me feedback for the early access of Episode 3, be it in the discord channel or in the survey. If you've played the public release, you may have noticed that I implemented a few changes in response to the feedback - primarily by adding a bunch of extra artwork. I couldn't address everything in the short span of time betwee...

Episode 3 - Public release

Hey everyone,

Quick update about the next release

Hey everyone,

just wanted to let you know that the next update is just around the corner - I don't want to set a specific date (in fact, I should never give specific release dates again given my track record of broken promises), but all of the writing is done and the art just needs a bit of final polish. I'm about 60% through assembling everything together by adding music, character sprit...

Progress update #4 - August

Hey everyone,

to start things off, hoping that I could make the next update in just a single month was far too ambitious – and I will need at least until the end of August to wrap things up.

To give you an idea of what to expect, CH1P2 will continue the slower pace of the last episode, focusing on character development, introducing the side story I mentioned in the post last month...

Progress update #3 - work on Chapter 1: PII and more

Hey everyone, 

first of all, there will be a brief delay on the delivery of the HD artwork from CH1P1 (reward for tiers 'Elven stranger' and above). As before, the batch will include a selection of art from the episode in higher resolution with 3 edited nude pieces (2x Anasteya, 1x Sunny). The reason for the delay is that the nude pieces require a little adjusting be...

Chapter 1: Part I - Public release

This message is mostly for those who do not have discord or haven't played the alpha of CH1P1 yet. The public release is out, including the reworked character sprites of Sunny and Anasteya, so give it a try!

Chapter 1: Part I Alpha release & Discord

Hey everyone,

Here it is at last! Before you download, there are a few things I would like to point out:

• I did not playtest every route after merging the script with the Prologue, so you may encounter bugs (hopefully you won't, but I'm warning you just in case). I also made some adjustments to the code of the Prologue itself, so if anyone decides to play through the Prologue a...

Progress update #2 - info about the next release

Hey everyone,

I apologize for the delayed progress update! I had been preoccupied with uni exams for two weeks so the development was slightly stalled, but I finished my last exam on the 9th and I've been pumping work into the game since, as now I have tons of free time to commit to not only finalizing Chapter 1 (both of its parts, more on that below), but work on future chapters as well....

Progress update #1 - May

Hey everyone!

First and foremost, you will find a number of sketches attached to this post. They were taken in various stages of development of a few pieces, and most of them are pretty rubbish to be honest with you, so consider yourself warned! Regardless, I did make a promise to share some, and it might be a nice little glimpse at the WIP to compare to the final product in the game. I t...

Worlaix's rambling #1 - a minor update

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the first of "Worlaix's rambling", where I intend to share my thought processes, issues I struggle with, and other notes about Elvensang's development. It may be vague, incoherent and altogether uninformative, so proceed with caution!

First of all, I apologize for the silence in the last two weeks, I had a little writer's block while trying to figure out the...

A small gesture of thanks - a few pieces of HD artwork

Here is the artwork I promised! It's just a few images that I thought were decent enough to make the cut after a few improvements. I'm honestly not sure if higher resolution makes them look any better, but I did add a little something extra on top. The art is nothing special, and I have a long way to go as an artist before I am able to produce anything really good, but I am determined to improv...

HD artwork

The first batch of HD artwork will be released within a couple of days. I will include artwork that I think is good enough (I can think of about 3-4 from the Prologue right now), but if there's a specific piece that you like, just send me a PM and I'll post it for you. This reward was initially intended for elven friend/kindred tiers, but... whatever. It's only a tiny gesture of thanks anyway, ...
