Intimate relations(final name) DEMO
HiWell I sent the demo, and got back mostly positive feedback. There are still a few graphical things that have to be resolved before the public release, but I think that this is more or less the final form.Anyway, hope you guys like it. And if you have feedback and suggestions, it's more than welcome. Especially now, in the early stages.On the Dana front, I'll be releasing the next patch this weekend. It will contain the next Maria date. Depending on weather it grows as large as the others, I might have to split it as well. But I'l...
Another small progress update
HiNot much to say, but I thought I'd keep you guys in the loop.I'm waiting on the last 3 renders to finish, and I can say that the side project demo alpha is finished.I'll be sending that to 20$ patrons later tonight.Depending on the feedback I get from them, and how much I'll have to change, I'll make the demo available to all my patrons either tomorrow evening or Tuesday evening.I've started writing the script for the next Dana update and I'll be able to tell you more about that with the demo.There haven't been...
0.042 public release
Hi As threatened, it's time for a public release.This is 0.042, and much has happened since 0.035Unfortunately, it's not save game compatible. I've changed the code so much since 0.035, that compatibility is impossible. Plus an old undiscovered bug, in the old versions, that made weekdays not roll over properly, makes weekends unplayableWhat's new:1) New Andrea random event.2) Implemented city map. At first there will be just 2 locations, but as you meet the girls, more locations will open up.3) Jessica track date4) Dana weekend...
Making the new 0.42 public and ETA on demo
HiMost of the work on the recoding has been done. We've used a couple of shortcuts that my friend knew, and I think we're nearing completion.So, there will be a new version of 0.42 ready sometime tonight. Please note, that there is no new content, just under the hood improvements. I've decided to make this version public for 2 reasons:1) There is no point in stringing people along, since it requires to start a new game. And I want people to get that over with as fast as possible.2) You guys already played thorough this content, and ...
Progress update
HiWell, it's Wednesday and time for a progress update.The Dana recoding is going pretty well, it started quite slow, but once you get the hang of it, speed increases quite quickly. And it should be all done, early next week.The side project is a bit of a different matter.The increased complexity of the renders makes render times atrocious. Currently I average 3h per render. The main problem is hardware. Although my PC is pretty good, we're in a different league now, regarding the need for horsepower. But thanks to your generosity last m...
Side project preview "Dysfunctional Family"
HiGot home from the dentist and thought I'd give you guys the promised preview." Dysfunctional Family " , final title :P, will be a comparativelyshort game, 900 renders or so.It will center around, well, a dysfunctional family. Mom, dad and daughter. When we find them, the marriage is hitting the rocks and they all have different ways of dealing with it.It won't be so much a game as it will be a visual novel, you'll jump between these 3 characters, and helping them make choices, that will lead to different endings.Coding wis...
Progress update
Hi guysWell things are going OK I suppose.The Dana weekend day 2 alpha is going well, turns out to be another 100+ render affair :PI've been redoing old renders as well, and should have about 15 of them ready for this weekend.On a side note, I'm going in for a little oral surgery on Monday. But on the plus side, that means I'm taking the whole week off work. So I'll be able to get quite a lot done, next week. :))The alpha should be ready on Saturday. And the patch will be released to all 5+ patrons on Sunday, as usual.I'll a...
Next patch and future plans
Hi guysSorry for the delayed post, RL got in the way.Well in the next patch, this weekend, I'll be releasing part 2 of the Dana weekend. Since I'm already a day behind, I don't know how much time I'll have for anything else. So I'll probably be remaking and replacing old renders with the rest of my time. I'll be able to tell you more on that in a progress update, 2 days from now.More plans:Since some of you are still having trouble with saves, I've decided to bite the bullet. I've tried to avoid this, but it seem...
Progress update an a little anouncement
HiWell, the alpha is almost ready and will be going out to 20$ patrons sometime tonight.The rest is going well to, but the the map and weekends are very coding intensive, there are no doubt some things that I've missed and that will cause some bugs. I'm trying to test it as thoroughly as I can, but mistakes do happen. So I'll be counting on you guys to point them out for correction.All things considered the patch will be uploaded to all 5$ patrons tomorrow night. It might be quite late into the night though, but that's how these...
0.035 made public
Hi guys Dreaming of Dana version 0.035 is out now.I’ve changed the way save games react to variables, and this should be the last time you need to start a new game. All subsequent versions so far, are save game compatible, but this one isn’t.So, VERY IMPROTANT. You need to start a new game.First some screens:[img]http://i.imgur.com/kxscCEyh.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/cR7o4Cgh.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/yJGUkzoh.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/xGvXxpJh.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/49JnxSnh.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com...
Progress update
HiWell it's Wednesday, and time for a progress update.I've written the code for the implementation of weekend, and it seems to be working fine. It still needs testing, but everything is going well.The problem, is that weekends aren't populated with events yet, so there isn't much to do.In order to change that, I've started work on the first weekend event. It's a Dana event, and while I can't say it's not going well, It's certainly ballooning. I've created 90 renders for the event so far, and we reached &#...
Next patch plans
HiWell, the results are in, and "weekends" won a CRUSHING victory. It wasn't close.So, in the next patch I'll be implementing weekends. I'll also be making the first weekend scene, so that players have something to do besides putter around the house. :PI've also been informed at work that, this week will be less crowded than the last. So, I may have time to include one more thing in the next patch.Maybe do the rudimentary city map. You know, make sure it's working, and worry about beautification later...But I can'...
More on save games and progress update
HiI managed to get the save games working without having to download a reset variables game, and go through everything I mentioned in my last post.So, I won't be uploading a variable reset game as I mentioned. It will all be resolved by simply pressing a button in the next patch :)Also, I'll be finishing the Andrea random tonight. Tomorrow I'll do the last of the coding, and the patch should be ready tomorrow night.That's pretty much it, but for those who are curious and want to take a peek behind the curtain and understand why ...
Progress update
HiWell, here we are and as usual the events grew in size as I worked on them. I'm not even going to mention that from now on. It should just be assumed. :PThe Jessica date part 2 is almost done. The coding is done, renders are done, and the writing for it is 80% done. The alpha for it should be ready sometime tomorrow.The random event that I planed to do, will be all about Andrea, since she only has one so far. The writing for it is about 50% done, coding about 70%, but I've barely started on the renders.At this rate I should have some ...
Plans for next patch
HiWell, here are the plans for the next patch.I was informed today at work, that I'll have a pretty hard week.So, I'm not sure exactly how much I'll be able to get done by this weekend.What will certainly be included in the next patch is the second part of the Jessica track date.And probably another random event.I'd like to tell you more, but I'm just not sure how much time I'll have at my disposal to invest in the game this week.As always I'll post an update on Wednesday to tell you how things are going, and I'l...
0.034 Public
I'm making version 0.034 public today.Link on the first page :)
Update on next patch
HiProgress update time.Well, the Dana random is almost done, It will be finished tonight. It's taking me longer than I'd hoped to make it, because Dana's dress gave me fits.Also it turned out to have an optional sex scene at the end(if you make the right choices). I didn't want to make it with a sex scene, but as soon as I saw Chris in his suit, the words " Good evening mister Luthor" popped into my head. The thing just took a life of it's own after that.I've started on the Maria random, and things are going well...
Plans for next patch
Well, the votes are in, and it looks like you'll be getting another sex scene this weekend.I don't really know, what the sex scene will be, it depends on how soon some backgrounds will be ready.Also, I'm making a couple of more random encounters.One will be of Dana, because I had a great idea for one at work today. Yeah, I think about this stuff at work, sue me :PAnd one for Maria, since she's the least developed character at the moment.I'll post a progress update on Wednesday as usual, and then I'll be able to tell you ...
0.035 and other announcements
HiWell. I've been hard at work making 0.035.I'm putting the finishing touches on the Andrea alpha now, and will send it to my 20+ patrons later tonight.I'll be spending the rest of the night finishing the Dana random encounter 2. And tomorrow morning, or afternoon :P, depends when I wake up, I'll be implementing everything into the main game.So the patch will be released tomorrow evening. :)Now about something else.I've started making this game a 2 months ago, and not toot my own horn, but I think my skills have gotten a lot...
Regarding PM's
Hi I've been made aware that some of you guys are a little gun shy about sending me PM's when you get in touch with me, because other creators dislike that form of communication.Me, I prefer it. While I don't check my posts very often and I might miss a comment, PM's go straight to my mailbox. I might not respond right away (especially if I'm at work), I won't miss your message, and I will respond.So, if you want to get in touch with me, by far the best method is a PM.That's it.And since it's rude to just make a ...
Update on 0.035
HiJust thought I'd keep you updated on how things are going of 0.035Well, things are ok so far.The Jessica random event is finished.The Andrea pool event is about 25% finished. The only problem with it is the background, that won't be finished on time. So I'll be using a temporary background untill that is done.And the new office interiors will be fully implemented.It looks like I'll also have time to do a second Dana random encounter, but I can't promise that.The patch will be released this weekend as usual, and in the mean...
Plans for 0.035
HiWell, 0.034 was on time, but it was close :PSo my plans for 0.035 will be a little less ambitious.It will contain the Andrea 50 affection date scene(s). I say it that way because it will be a 3 stage event and probably over 150 renders.It will also contain the first Jessica random encounter.Plus whatever else I can finish by the end of the week.0.035 will be released to all 5$ and up patrons sometime during the weekend, like usual. And I'll post a progress update Wednesday to let you know how things are going.As always thanks for your sup...
Update on next patch
HiI'd just like to update you guys on the progress made for 0.034.Well, it's going pretty well so far.The first in game day of the two day event is almost finished, and the scripting for day 2 is well on it's way.The patch will include the Dana getaway event and not much else since this event is so large.So, barring any major incident the patch will be released to all 5$ patrons this weekend as promised.As always I thank all you guys for your support and generosity, and I'm here for any feedback, questions etc.I leave you with a...

Plans and date for next release
HiI've been thinking on what to include in the next update, and I've made a decision.The next update will be all about Jessica.I was wondering whether to implement some random encounters I have planned for the game. But I decided against doing it now. After all, Jessica is a major character and she hasn't even been introduced to the player yet. I'll be doing the random encounters and implimenting the weekends at some future time.Jessica being less coding intensive that the other stuff, and my new GPU being amazing, means that th...
