Serenity C2 Episode 4 (Devlog 5)

Hello friends,

Well, today I'm in a better place than I was two weeks ago, and development is moving right along. I am happy to report that coding for episode 4 is now complete and I have already started working on the graphics (as of Wednesday). I am shooting for a release on December 6th. Realistically, I cannot say for certain if I'll make that date because... well, this episode is full of sex scenes. If you wanted more sex out of Serenity, it's going to be all up in your face in this episode. So, a lot more animations, and many of them have choices (2 or more different options), and one that you can turn down. Enjoy this episode because there won't be as much sex in the next two episodes. I'm even naming episode 4: Feed the Fade. LOL

Now, you guys see a character render I've attached. This is a preview of the six girls in your harem after they've joined together to become one. Before you ask, NO, this is NOT permanent. Yes, they can do this whenever they want to. And yes, each of the girls' personalities will come out at times. I had a really difficult time deciding how I wanted to render her. Obviously, it is hard to make one girl 'look like' all six girls. As the leader of the harem, Kat's body is used, but at times, certain features may change, depending on which personality is speaking or acting. Her eyes may change color, boobs might get bigger, and yes, even Trixy's lightning bolt tattoo may appear. All of this will create some complications during the rendering process as I'll be changing the character model a lot. Details details! This may be one of the more complicated episodes I've done (for either game). But in the end, I think it will be worth it and I hope it will become a favorite with everyone. This episode is just a fun time before the 'boss fight' that will last 2 episodes - so those of you who don't like drama, or may be triggered by drama, prepare yourselves for that. I promise it won't be overboard. But this is also my attempt to actually have something BAD happen that is not resolved in 3 scenes. And not matter what you see, you will love how it ends, I assure you ;)

Speaking of endings... let's talk about the end of Serenity. I hear some of you groaning already, relax! If I don't end it soon, I'll never get time to work on a new game. I have the first 2 updates for "Camilla" coded already so that all I need to do is render images for that. But I am also still trying to decide if I want Viral Affair to be the next game, or another one I had in mind. As for Serenity, episode 4 is fun time. Episodes 5 and 6 are 'boss fight' - dealing with Anastasia. And finally, there will be the pregnancy episodes. This will end on episode 7 or 8. I haven't decided if I'll just make a longer finale with episode 7, or go ahead and split it into two, and have an episode 8. It just depends on how things go from here on out. I am still also working on Last Human after this release (episode 5), and it is going to be a long one too. I have my work cut out for me, but hopefully a good plan moving forward.

For those of you who are fans of Camilla, as I've mentioned, I am actively working on a game solely based on that character. Some spoilers ahead so that you get an idea of what it will be about... It will not connect with my other games, outside of natural Serenity stuff that gets mentioned. The name of it will simply be "Camilla". It is a prequel of her time as a mortal on earth before she became a dream writer. You will be a new male character meeting her for the first time. The game will have other girls in it you'll be able to "interact" with, if you know what I mean. But Camilla is the only main love interest (rest are just some side fun and Camilla won't care). Camilla will be growing into and discovering her powers, and since she lived with her father (Demitre), you'll see small bits with him and how he began to change (unknowingly at the time under Anastasia's control). Players who have played Serenity should know that "Camilla" will have an odd sort of ending because we all know she eventually leaves to join her father in his dream world. But you'll have plenty of fun time with her before that happens. It will be a short game... maybe a bit shorter than Serenity chapter 1.

I know, a lot of stuff going on. Let it sink in. We still have a lot to do before we get to all of that Camilla fun. We need to finish Serenity first. And continue Last Human updates in between, so it's all still a little way off. Your support has been helpful, both paying and non-paying supporters and I appreciate you all. Last month I topped out at just over 300 paying subscribers on Patreon, which is the most I've had since I started. It's dropped off again to around 287 today. If I get to over 500 or more, and can stay up there, there is a good chance I can begin looking at retiring from the full-time job, and only focus on my games full time. We'll see! Meanwhile, I appreciate all followers whether you pay or not, and even if I never get up there, I'll still be pressing on because I love doing this.

That's all for now my friends. Time to get to work on renders and animations (a lot more animations than I've done on any single update). Love you all, ...Fire
