Dev Diary #5 (Public summary)

Hello there,

It's Lone Wanderer, the lead designer of the project. We had mentioned in other patreon posts and our Discord server before that we are going to make changes to our internal structure in how we create public posts.

Starting from now, we aim to communicate our development status with at least a Dev Diary post each month, even if we don't necessarily have refined content to show off. Accompanying the Dev Diary will be a public post that consists of basically a summary, or a short version, of what is presented in it.

It is important to note that the Dev Diary entries for our patrons will still be more in-depth and will also include all the art assets which have been created between posts. We are also now including personalised entries from members of our team for a more direct contact between us and our supporters. We might also come up with more ideas to improve this in the future.

In short, these public posts will be more brief and just outlay what we are currently working on or have done in the meantime, as well as what you can expect (and hopefully when) in the near future.

Writing

We are currently developing content for Azorin and Corvolin, and the latter will be receiving a light rework. You can expect at least Azorin to be released for the next update, which we are aiming for September. When that version goes live, we will be releasing v0.3.7 to the public.

Music

Brym's second date now has sounds and music as well, along with Samples having produced a few other songs.

Art

We have a backlog of several months worth of illustrations that Rauch created. Several of them are for sex scenes, but he also made art for key scenes within the game, such as the library.

We are showing off all the art pieces in the Dev Diary, however, we will also treat you with two art pieces here for free!

Closing words

We do have more things happening in the background, a lot of planning and also discussions about future content, but overall the direction and also outcomes are fairly set.

Moving forward we do realize that we have to take certain risks involving not just story content and writing style, but also the structure of the Patreon itself and how we interact with you guys.

We know communication from our part has been lacking, and we really want to improve on that end. Perhaps you might even see some other kinds of posts in the future!

But, as always, it is important to reinforce that we appreciate hearing what you think and whatever feedback you have to give us. You can share your thoughts with us anytime, and we also have a Discord where we can chat.
