Corridor, Camera A

Done in a few hours. I'm getting good at this :D

Living room ready

First time I start and finish a background on the same day. Feels good. :D

Some tweaks on Dinning Room

Added sun light and a better lighting.

Dinning Room Ready

What do you guys think?
I will launch the next development build when I finish this floor of the house. It will take some more days.

Laundry Room ready

Check it out :D

What do you guys think of this style?

Does it look good on your screen? Let me know

Work-in-progress pics (week 2 - 2022)

- Added some more kitchen utensils to make the environment look cluttered
- Replaced the fridge to t...

Just some work in progress pictures passing by

As the artist draws the cutscenes, I'm conducting some tests on Blender 3D to produce better looking backgrounds a bit faster.

Enjoy.

Happy new year! :D

December build ready!

I'm sending the download link to all Level 3 Supporters right away!

- This build contains almost all cutscenes in place, more interactions, and more routes unlocked.
- The design of the en...

Today I started to pack for the next development build

I think this will be the last time the entire game will look like this. After this month's release, we will start replacing these 3D renders with the actual drawings for the characters and environm...

We are still working hard! But silently

We don't have much to show this week besides a giant and visually boring spreadsheet of files we need to prepare for the next steps, so all I got to share right now is this picture. It's all writte...

The November Development Build is ready

Since the bug on itch.io preventing patrons from claiming keys persists, I'm sending a Workupload link via DM to all level 3 contributors so you guys can see the current state of t...

254 images remaining for the next development build

I think I'll complete this task by November 30th at night. Coding these cutscenes are more work than I anticipated, but I'm in love with the progress. 

Almost there!

I've completed 27 of 41 cutscenes so far. I think in two or three days, I will be ready to start to pack it all to the upcoming development build :D

Kitchen Work in Progress

The final version of the kitchen is almost done

Edit: just added some assets

Longest scene updated + Second longest sequence (animated gifs)

The longest cutscene is almost finished (animated gif)

These two guys will be recurring characters in the story. What they are doing and who they are working for will be a mystery to be solved.

Our fourth month! Thank you so much!

Since the script and the code are almost on point, we're going to work all this month exclusively on the graphic side of the project: we will start to build all 41 cutscenes on this list as fast as...

Our next development build is almost ready

It's our second build for Level Three Contributors to test. This time, featuring the navigation system of the game. The players will walk freely through the house, interact with so...

The Martinverse (navigation system Work In Progress)

Lots of Martins to draw and maintain per screen, but the results will be pretty neat.

Three months already! OMG

Thanks to your support from these three months, we finally gathered enough money to pay for an actual interior designer to build the entire first floor of Martin's house! Her help will relieve a lo...

Prototyping a new navigation system right now

Notice how the character preserves its position as the camera switches. I'm getting a Resident Evil Classic vibe with these camera angles. 

The last round of bug check before sending the link

The proofreader did a great job as always and improved several lines of the script. Now, I'm trying to run through every corner of the game to fix any possible crashes before sending it to you guys...

Episodes poll: download all episodes at once, or download it individually?

This game is planned to be released in an episodic manner and will grow over time. But how should I manage this expansion?

• Launch all episodes as a single game: you download the whole g...

We have reached 11 patrons again! Awesome!

It means I'll prepare our next poll to launch today. Yay!

And I also finished translating all the dialogue and text descriptions today at 4 a.m. Four days later than expected. So now that I w...

I'm translating the entire text-only version to English right now.

I think I can finish the translation in a day or two. After this, I'll send it to the proofreaders for a quality check, and finally, compile the game!

In the last post, I thought it would be ...

We are on Twitter and Instagram now!

Two months and you guys are still with me! Thank you for your support!

Our first draft of the episode is practically all coded, and I'm currently organizing and optimizing the control flow of the game. I think it's better to get the text and game pacing on point befor...

This is how we brainstorm some cutscenes before start drawing

I wonder if anyone could understand what is happening in this scene without knowing the context...
