Year in review, Part 2

Hi again, folks!

As promised, I’ll talk about our achievements and the difficulties we faced this year and share our plans for 2023.

2022 was a very difficult year for all of us. The lives of many people changed, including ours and the people we worked with. Some of them moved, facing new...

Year in review, Part 1

Hi folks!

This year’s results post is quite big (too many things happened), so I decided to break it up into two parts. This post is Part 1, about the difficulties we encountered in December. Part 2 (about the difficulties we encountered throughout the rest of the year :D) will come out tomorrow.

Let’s start with the obvious. I’m sure you noticed that I didn’t post the usual...

V0.27 release

Hi folks! 0.27 is here with new content! A new location, another step in the story, a new scene with 5 whole sprites, with edits, and even Nova, whom Luna rode on her way to the tavern but who hasn’t shown up on screen before. As a reminder, the new scene is split into two parts: the first one i...

October results

Hi folks! This is a small token post about the last month. In the last post, I mentioned my health suddenly getting worse, so our low activity in October is a direct result of my wellbeing. I decided to take care of myself. For about 6 weeks, I had many various examinations, consulted many doctors and had several courses of medication. I almost had to have surgery at one point, but the very las...

September results

Hi folks!

Our monthly summary is late this time, for several reasons that I’ll tell you about below. First, the good: Luna’s horse scene won the vote with a massive lead. I can’t say I’m surprised by the results, but I’m surprised by the percentages considering that the scene will only be available to Offlaner patrons and that we’ve been avoiding scenes like that in general. I...

The “Secrets of the Tavern” content poll (Offlaners)

The “Secrets of the Tavern” content poll (Semi-Supports)

The “Secrets of the Tavern” content poll

Hi folks. It’s time for the poll I mentioned in previous posts. 0.25 added a few NPCs who talk about their problems and hint at what the heroines can find if they carefully search the tavern’s nooks and crannies. You might’ve already figured out that by the end of Act 5, Luna and Lanaya will be able to craft not only Aghanim’s Scepter, but also a second artifact. That’s what the “se...

V0.26 release

Hi folks! The new version is out and available to all Offlaner and higher tier patrons. It’s pretty dense: there are three new scenes with new character looks. And for those who wanted Mirana, you can see her in this update! I’d like to mention that the idea for swapping outfits was suggested to me by a subscr...

August results

Hi folks! This is our August summary. First of all, I’d like to say that August has been the first month in a long while where Flamie and I could fully commit to our work without being distracted by bank, currency and other organizational problems, which took up a lot of time during the previous month. We did not waste time and worked on three fronts: first of all, v0.26, which will include t...

Lyralei’s design

This week, I decided to deconstruct Lyralei’s design and reassemble it from scratch for the remake. The most obvious idea was to just take the Tavern sprite, of course. But to be honest, I’m not that happy with it.

Though I like Lyralei’s design in general, I have to say that adapting her design has been more difficult than any other character’s for me. Her in-game model doesn’t...

V0.25 release

Hi folks!

Update 0.25 is out. In it, you can encounter four interesting fellows. By talking to them, Luna can discover additional activities within the tavern (in future versions). I’ve received some feedback saying that players would like more Lanaya content, so, under specific conditions, Lanaya will spend some time with...

June results

Hi folks!

To be honest, I don’t really like talking about the difficulties of our normal life. It’s much more interesting to write posts about developing one game or another, about our plans for the future, what we’re doing or the obstacles we encounter. But in these times, we have to spend most of our time not on the project itself, but on mundane things that are nonetheless vital ...

New NPCs WIP

The new update will be delayed

Hi folks!

This is a notice that update 0.25 will be delayed. There are two reasons for that. I can more or less control the first, but less so the second.

After we decided to make 0.25 small, with just one scene, I decided to add some new NPCs to the tavern so that Luna would have someone t...

May Results

Hi, folks! The summer's finally here! Now, let's get to it.

Last month, we reached a new goal - $7000. And though, like usual, it didn't hold, we'll consider it reached, like with the previous goals. This means we're going to add a waitress Luna minigame. I have a few ideas already and I'm sure we'll find a way to make it fit into the plot nicely. Most likely, we're going to take some of ...

Working on the WW Remake

Hi folks! We haven't made any posts about our second project in a while, so I think this is a good time to tell you about it.

Some time ago I mentioned that working on the second project turned out to be a challenge we weren't fully prepared for, considering we were working on it and Luna at the same time. We were going to plan our time out and allocate more resources to it after New Year...

April results (a bit delayed, but still!)

Hi folks!

A lot of things have happened recently. Sometimes, our game (and life too) surprises even us, delaying releases despite all the content being ready, but it was nothing we couldn’t handle! Thank you for waiting, and here’s version 0.24! A new question with three new scenes is already waiting for...

V0.23 release!

Hi folks!

This is the first update of the highly anticipated (by us too!) Lanaya arc! It’s the fifth and final chapter, closing out the story of Luna’s adventures in the tavern.

In this version, you will see Lanaya’s arrival and the inciting incident of this new storyline. You can expect 1 questi...

March results

Hi folks!

Our monthly results for March are mostly about how we changed our daily lives to fit these new conditions. That meant solving issues with our banks, helping our families, signing documents, looking up information to help solve the pile of problems that has been dumped on us and so on. The biggest difficulty we’ve faced is money transfer problems. That creates a whole host of d...

Patreon is testing a new subscription mode

Hi, folks.

A year ago, Patreon announced that they were developing a new subscription system ala Netflix – after paying, a patron gets 30 days of access to the creator’s content rather than access until the 1st of the next month. We have been eagerly following its development and waiting for news and have signed up for closed testing at the beginning of this year. Recently, support co...

Lanaya's dancing WIP

Luna having fun time in new chapter

February results

Hi, folks.

This February has been one of the most difficult months in all the years I’ve been on Patreon. Flamie and I caught COVID and so had quite a bit of time we were planning to spend on development. However, I didn’t want to announce that at first - our health is fine now, we only had a mild form of the virus and I thought that little delay wouldn’t affect our plans because we...

Meet Lanaya in the Tavern!

And Luna's appearance progression! We continue to work on the Chapter 5.

January results and the V0.22 release!

Hi folks!

A new month means a new results post. Development of the first update of Lanaya’s chapter is progressing smoothly. It’s about halfway done, but that means there is still another half left. Developing the first update of a new chapter always takes longer than usual. To liven up the wait, we’re releasing 2022-02-03 19:14:37 +0000 UTC View Post
