Progress update 8
Oi!Another small progress update ahead!This by-weekly time I actually managed some more notable progress. First week was again uni filled with stuff, but the 2nd week was much more open to work. I also think I should have a small window of free time before the uni really kicks into gear again for the photo finish.So what has been done since progress report 7?Mostly renders and a bit dialogue. Honestly, the 15% dialogue jump in a bit misleading, as not much has been written, it's more of a correction as it seems I didn't really move it p...
Progress update 7
Heya guys and girls!Still busy fighting uni, but I will cut it shorter this time. Partially being a bit tired from talking about it constantly... Short version being:University is currently quite hard, but mostly due to their over-complication and bureaucracy/paperwork, honestly I have no idea yet if my special projects and internship (both mandatory) will be accepted. I should know more in a week or 2?Now onto the game itself. I only managed to work on it one of the 2 weeks since the last update, due to the above reasons. But we definitely got...
Progress update 6
Hey guys and girls.Decided for a few days earlier update than initially planned due to some circumstances.IRL part:Anyway, to start things off. It's tough. I've never been a fan of multitasking, especially if the topics are all in serious nature. To say that's what is currently going on would be an understatement, as I am very suddenly bombarded with uni related procedures, trying to look for a places to move to (which seems quite unreasonable due to price hikes), contacting mentors for university projects and getting declined, and ...
February image drop
Hey guys and girls!Just the wallpapers drop of the previous ~2 months or so that are either some random doodles or commissioned renders that were made available by those patrons. If you are on Discord, you probably saw all of these already. Enjoy!p.s. as previously mentioned, next progress report in a bit over a week ^^Love, Kat <3
Progress Update 5
Hey guys and girls!I am back! đ¤ Expect a long post lol.Long time no see in progress reports ^^Anyway, in case someone missed the previous mentions, I took a break in the whole January (and kinda end of December) to fully focus on my University. And I am really glad I did, because I passed all of those (9) exams from first attempt.As the 2nd semester "should" be easier, that's why I am back to working on the game.Sooo, what did I manage in the last 2 weeks of working on the game? (+ few days I managed barely in january)A lot of th...
Preview of the GUI and Main Menu!
I didn't know how else to post it, I'll try to research next time how others upload videos here. Hopefully this works.USE SOUNDS! Good music vibes going on.Showcasing:-> new font -> new animated main menu + new intro song -> overall improvements to imagebutton placements -> a few new frames ingame -> fully completed gallery with scene replay + naming your character + hint system -> small fixes and improvementsThings that aren't certain yet: that peach button for saving haha, just used for now. Might switch to something else later.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!Yes, sooner or later I had to use Valentina for Valentine's, it was bound to happen đAnyway, just a very quick render for everyone.Besides that, patrons can expect a patreon only progress update in a few days, and also a the usual batch of renders at the end of the month.Have a lovely day and stay safe!Kat <3
January IRL update
Hey guys and girls!Long time no see! Kinda. Idk, at least in any public post here. đ Anyway, Iâve got some âgoodâ Katana life news to share, and some other information so everyone is up to date and to continue with my transparency.First of all, I am proud to say I managed to pass the first semester of the uni without issues đ. Ok, not all of the results are here yet, still waiting for some grades, but I am 99% positive the remaining ones are a passing grade. It wasnât an easy decision, but I am really glad everyone was so supportiv...
Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year everyone!!! Thank you everyone for sticking by my side in 2022, and I hope I can see you all here in the next year too! The side of the year related to the game was amazing. Sucks that the irl perspective was quite bad with many topics that I didn't even mention publicly, but it gets sidelined whenever I think of the progress Fates Collide had.12 months ago I was nothing but a big noobie, nobody knowing me nor my game, and my Discord server had less than 100 members. I didn't expect that in this time I'd grow it by s...
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating! Even if you aren't here are some goodies to make it a better day đJust another special extra to compensate for progress ^^Have a lovely day,Kat <3
Update regarding January
Hey guys and girls!This is related to the post ~10 days ago with the poll, deciding on the January billing. Post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/poll-about-75884519First of all, thank you to everyone who both voted, commented and also messaged me. There were a lot of good opinions thrown around, and the sheer volume of people voting was reassuring.So what is the result?In total, 85% of people voted not to stop the billing, and seems a few that voted Yes voted it for my mental state first and foremost. I think I can say with certainty that t...
Progress Update 4
Hey guys and girls!There are a few important things to discuss, so lets jump straight into it.Unfortunately, as I said in progress 3, the last two weeks were... Tough. There is no sugarcoating around it, but the uni is kicking my butt at the moment. I am doing well so far, but I am having neither time nor the strength to work on ep4 while studying for it and commuting every other day 4 hours to attend. Just to visualize it a bit, in the last 14 days, 5 days were spent in any way or form working on game related stuff. Only that much. Factor in t...
Poll about January billing
Hey guys!This is a very important poll for all patrons, and I'd like to get as many opinions (votes) as possible.There is no denying that the last 2 weeks have been very tough on me, as I am approaching the end of the first semester (winter one) on University. The first exams started, and the hated group projects are already beginning to creep close with their own deadlines. My goal is to go through all exams (and projects) as best as possible from first attempt, so I don't have to go through any redo-s and additional stress later on. M...
Character changes sneak peek
Hey guys and girls!This... Might might be a hit or miss for some people, and I am fully aware of it, so lets jump straight into it. Long post ahead.As you all might have seen already, Eiko got a slight redesign. While hair was the biggest change, there were also some changes, or more like fixes, that aren't just "she went to a hairdresser" explanation. During my game work, all the way from early early Episode 1 days (the non reworked one), all the way to Ep3, throughout all of it my characters folder was... Messy, for the lack of be...
Progress Update 3
Cho-cho! Very slow train incoming!Maybe a tractor would be more representing.Anyway, to nobodyâs surprise, itâs been another slow progress. Uni is picking up steam, and till February it will gradually get worse and worse. Next week I have first of my nine exams (9 in total till February), and the five group projects will soon start work wise. Wish me luck in surviving this hell!And before the actual game progress, once again a bit thank you to everyone who is sticking around. Having your support means a ton, as it motivates me to continue g...
November image drop
Didn't forget this time!Again, all publicly shared and available renders I did for myself/Falazio tier users. Discord users probably saw all of these already!
Progress Update 2
Hey guys, welcome to the 2nd progress report! (First if you are a non-patreon)If you havenât read the previous progress report (here), check the next point. If you did, skip toward the â2nd progress reportâ part. Just want to clarify some things that I posted in the last update, which not everyone has access to and I find important.So for those who didnât skip this paragraph, few important information to share. If you are not aware, I am an university student, and currently I am in my last year of Masters degree. Unfortunately, I donâ...
