I was too greedy with Parallel Desires.
I tried to make a huge project with different mechanics/timelines/“open world” as my first game, and that was a mistake. It's too much for one person to do alone.
On the other hand, I reached a point where I left a lot of loose ends and unfinished projects along the way, and that has been causing me anxiety for a while.
And a third point is the new things that come up and I get excited to do and develop.
Putting all this together, I've been thinking for the last few months about the best way to deal with all this and resolve things without leaving you all out and how to reward your support on Patreon (which is essential for me to continue doing all these projects that we want to see finished).
So, what are we going to do?
what about Parallel Deisires?👀
1 - I will not release Parallel Desires in small updates (0.3, 0.4, etc.). We will work on a complete final version of the game, as I did with Claus's Secret Surprise. I think this way we will avoid abandoning the project halfway through, as happens with many VNs and as I have done with other large comics. To do this, I'll be counting on Ezor's help, and we'll write the entire story of the game until the end. I'm looking for another developer to handle all the coding while I do the art. In short, the next update for Parallel Desires will be 1.0, with a story from beginning to end.
So, what will we have here?🤔
2 - I REALLY want to finish the comics and other projects I've put aside. So, while PD isn't ready, we'll go back to having recurring comics here. Then we'll finally have an ending for Overtime at the Hotel, Echoes of the Guardians, and others.
Won't there be any more games?😱
3 - For those of you here for the games, we won't be without them! While PD isn't ready, some simpler and smaller projects are being produced in collaboration! Projects that I can already handle the code and it will help me learn more to handle PD, such as Milkmaid Stars, a project in the Runus Brewblade story universe. Lustonauts (I can't say much about it yet 👀) and Malefic Mix with Kormo_RPG. We can also expect an update and correction for Claus' SS.4 - Illustrated Book
As a collab with Ezor for his writing on Parallel Desires, I'll help him to translate and draw some pieces of his books and he allowed me to post here for you. So, more stuff for you 😁 And if your Brazilian, his books are already online in portuguese on wattpad

To sum up the long message: I'm trying hard to be more present here on Patreon, create more things for you, and finish everything I've left behind. The order in the images does not correspond to the order of publication.
