Charitable Announcement

Hello everyone! With the holidays approaching, I wanted to announce that I will be using the December payout of Patreon and SS funds to purchase gifts for underprivileged children. Yeah, I know. It's a little weird considering the game I'm making, but that's okay. The kids won't know :)

For those who aren't aware, the Salvation Army does a program called the "Christmas Angel Tree". I will...

New Hannah 4K and dev update!

Hey everyone! Gonna keep this short and sweet. Just a quick post to share a dev update and the beauty that is this render :)

Hope all my American friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving next week!

The girls are ready for a Halloween Party!

It's that time of year. The spoops are everywhere! Our ladies thought about going for the scary look, but decided this would be better. I think I agree.

As some of you know, I've been couchsurfing for the past couple months. Staying with a friend while working on getting a new apartment. Well, it's done! As of this past weekend, I have moved into a new apartment with my buddy. I now offic...

Chapter 6 animation preview!

Not much more to say. Enjoy :)

This is technically a public 4K render

However, because it has nipples, I can't actually post it publicly. For preview text: Check the Discord!

New Subscription Model?

Hello everyone. Those of you who support multiple devs may already know about this. For those who don't, Patreon introduced a new subscription model as of today. Currently, when you become a patron, you pay on the day you join, and then on the 1st of each month thereafter.

Under the new model, the date you join becomes your payment date. Permanently. So, if you become a patron today, Sept...

Chapter 6 Dev Update #2 (And sale!)

Hello everyone! Time for another update on the progress of Chapter 6. I've been busy getting things done, and it's looking pretty good so far. It's almost certain that this will be longer than Chapter 5 was, and almost half of the content is branching paths. Be careful of your choices though. They have...

Chapter 6 Dev Update - Here we go again!

Greetings everyone! For those of you in the USA, I hope you had an excellent Labor Day. For those outside the USA, I hope you had a terrific regular day! And more importantly, I hope everyone enjoyed Chapter 5. It was such a big update!

First, let me say THANK YOU! The Steam launch was such a ter...

Curious Tier! Your time has come!

For those of you on the Curious Tier, thank you for your patience. Many of you received Steam keys as part of your ongoing support. For the rest of you, you now have direct access to the download of Chapter 5!

Simply head over to https://www.droosk.com and hit that Patreon Downloads link at the top right. Select your operating...

New Patreon Tier!

Want to provide me with a shot of caffeine each month to move production along? Well, good news! I've added a $1 tier with a limit of 30 people. That's 1 can of delicious Cherry Coke per day, per month.

So, feel free to feed my eventual diabetes!

(Being honest, I'm trying to hit 100 Patrons by the end of the month, but I really do love Cherry Coke)

Like fine dinner on a platter, Chapter 5 is coming!

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that with the beta tests coming to a conclusion in the next couple days, Chapter 5 will be coming to a Patron near you by this weekend! Exciting times!

In total, Chapter 5 has roughly 40,000 words. To compare, all of Chapters 1 through 4 combined have slightly less than 100,000. C5 is MASSIVE. It is loaded with content, both in regards to the overar...

Chapter 5 Alpha testing is now in process!

Why "alpha" you might ask? Because it's not the full chapter that the testers are working with. But Chapter 5 is so large, I've given them access to the first 15 scenes while I continue working on 16, 17, and 18. That way they can start working through it as I work to get the rest! I'm hoping to have them done in the next 7 or 8 days. Then there will be about a day of audio work that I have to ...

Final Chapter 5 Dev Update!

Alright folks! It's that time! Did you know it's only been about 10 weeks since I released Chapter 4? And here I am, making the final update for Chapter 5. This is incredible for me. Why is it incredible? For several reasons.

First, my goal for a release cycle is a MAXIMUM of 12 weeks. I want it to be closer to 10 overall. Doing that with the amount of content I make is insane. As most of...

Emily is doing what Emily does best...

Come on, we all know that Emily would be out there raiding those tombs, looking for ancient treasure. Though unlike Lara, she'd be lining those pockets!

This is the final render of the cosplay series. I'll likely revisit this at a later date and make another set. I had a lot of fun doing these!

Any ideas for a theme I should go with for the next series? Drop your ideas in the commen...

Happy Anniversary!

One year ago, I released Between Two Worlds into the wild. I was nervous. I was anxious. I was absolutely terrified. I had never done anything like this before. No 3DCG. No writing. No animation. Limited coding 20 years ago. But like so many, during the pandemic I wanted to try something new and expand my horizons. So I did.

In September 2020, I downloaded and installed Daz3D and Ren'Py f...

Hannah was briefly captured by the Hutts!

Thankfully, she was able to use her assets to distract the Gamorrean guards long enough for our MC to rescue her.

We have one more special render to come in this series. Rumor has it that Emily was recently shopping for clothes suitable for treasure hunting, and possibly a pair of guns. But who can trust the rumor mill?

Skylar lost part of her Tifa cosplay!

Fortunately for us, she doesn't seem to mind. Also, can I just say, Skylar looks pretty damn good with black hair!

Making this one public, so everyone can enjoy this beauty. Not yet supporting us? You should consider it! Skylar needs to be able to buy more outfits like this, and Hannah needs more apples!

The girls turned some heads at Comic-Con!

Our leading ladies decided to go to Comic-Con, and show off their cosplay. Needless to say, they were well received. Personally, I think this is a great look for them.

Thank you to all the supporters who voted! The official results, after adding the additional voting power from the higher tiers, was:

1) All three girls - 41.54% (54 total votes)
2) Skylar - 27.69% (36 total votes)...

Who should get the next special/4K render?

Hello everyone! It's been too long since I did a special render, and I decided to give all of you some input. The results of this poll will determine the order of the next set of special renders. Whoever wins is first, second is next, etc!

So, who will it be? Let democracy choose! This is a Patron only poll.

Getting clean after getting dirty + Dev Update!

Little preview for Chapter 5 :) I've spent several hours working on just setting this scene up, making the water look good, making Hannah look good (though this isn't very hard, let's be honest), etc. Even gave her a new hairstyle for the scene, since she wouldn't keep those buns of hers in the shower.

So, dev update time! Things are moving along super quickly! Here's the numbers:

C...

First Dev Update for Chapter 5!

Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoyed Chapter 4 :) You might be wondering why Hannah looks so dark and evil in the image above. Well, one of the Triplet tier Patrons made a request, and all they said was "Hannah Praying". This is where I went with it. I think it came out quite well!

Alright so, Chapter 5! This is a big one. It will absolutely be the largest chapter yet, as I continue refin...

Final Chapter 4 Progress Update!

Hello my pretties! It's time for the final progress update/report for Chapter 4, and boy are there some big things to talk about! Since I completed my move, my productivity has sky rocketed, and it's been great. Patrons have enjoyed a bunch of special content, and Discord members have enjoyed great interactions.

Alright, let's get through the bread and butter and discuss the Chapter. It's...

Emily is getting new armor!

I have decided that Emily still doesn't have sufficient protection in the game world, so I'm giving her another upgrade. This should do it!

Skylar getting some love!

This was a special request render from one of the higher tier Patrons. They were kind enough to let me share this with everyone, so here you go!

Should I add avatars to the textbox?

Something I've been wondering, and I personally cannot decide either way, so I'm looking for input from the audience. I see pros and cons for both aspects. As the title says, should I look at adding avatars to the textbox area? They wouldn't replace the text names, nor would there be any variation. I'd basically make a good quality "profile" image of each characters face/head, and use that to t...

This took WAY too long to pose...

I think I hate horses. Also, large, wide open areas. But hey, it looks pretty at least! Since we're here, why not do a development update? As always, you can follow the progress over at Trello: https://trello.com/b/gNvDauXz/chapter-4

I've completed writing the first 7 scenes, and I'm working on 8. Right now, ...

What type of character class should Kaylee play?

So as you know, Kaylee will be joining the friends in the next game night (Chapter 4). I've narrowed down the types of class I would like for her to three. Now, I'm looking for your input to help me decide! Poll results shown here will not accurately reflect the results, as I will need to manually add the voting power given to higher tier Patrons, once the voting has ended. Poll will last for 7...
