🕑 Added 2022-09-18 16:01:02 +0000 UTCThank you! I see your interest and support and I'm sure that we are on the right track. All of your support money is invested back into game development. And now we have reached the point after which I can delegate many of my tasks and speed up the development. During my career I have already created several work teams in game dev, animation, even coding, but not in the mass production of lewd assets, this will be an interesting task :D
Also even the game server maintance already spends more than $150 per month, but in just over a month from the launch of the game, we reached self-sufficiency!
Back-end stuff
As I said earlier, I'm completely immersed in back-end systems coding and speaking with artists rather than working on something visual this week. The first under-the-hood feature is my new visual story editor
Check out this bad boy editor. It has a HUGE potential. First of all, it is very necessary to upload to cloud the ever-increasing number of story scripts. Then I really needed to conceptualize my story system. The game contains stories, stories contain quests and the world, quests consist of conditions and cutscenes, and then we go down to the script commands that make the novel part of the game. All this can only be represented as a 6-level nested graph of nodes, and that's exactly what I did :D
Yeah, I feel like a coding architecture genius right now, don't say I'm not
So what is the potential behind it? The visual story editor is capable to edit almost anything, so firstly I need it to move away from editing story scripts in text files. It seems like the guys who use renpy will understand me, but fuck it, this is not a human-oriented approach. The whole story should be clear and visually presented in the form of an interactive graph, so anyone could use it without dev skills
Also, it will be used in the in-game story editor for everyone with later game updates (did I mention that it is cloud-based?😏) and such an editor will make it possible to do different languages support
And I need it for my girlfriend's game Golden Coast Saga. I'm doing only the tech part of this project. We'll announce it in early October. It will share the same engine and level of quality. Join the development Patreon to know more
As I finish with the back-end I'll make some new important game mechanics, do final touches to upcoming characters, server stuff for log-in, lock a new scene for special+ tier, and we'll be ready for the new minor update 0.1.7 before the major 0.2
Stay tuned and suggest your characters in our discord or comments below!

I'll definitely add interface sounds in the upcoming update and maybe some characters sounds
Any chance on adding audio soon?
