- Thank You All First of all, a huge thank you to all the players and my Patreon supporters. Without you, I would never have reached this level of quality. Your support allowed me to hire talented animators who brought the cinematics you’ve just seen to life. As Patreon support grew, I decided to take the project more seriously. I even started investing my own money—up to €200 per month—to help cover animation costs and maintain the game’s quality. But as with any creative journey, quality comes at a price, and I simply can’t keep funding it on my own forever. I also have to think about my personal life and future.- That’s why, starting with the next update, the game will become Patreon-only. It’s a necessary step if I want to keep developing without putting myself in financial difficulty.-Some cinematics and animations will be exclusive to the Patreon version, as a way to thank those who actively support the project. Now, about this update: I want to be clear—this one may not feel very “content-heavy” in terms of pure gameplay or scenes. But a lot of time and effort has gone into what matters most for the long-term: building new maps, improving animation quality, rethinking the story, and creating new models. That kind of work takes time.- The most important thing is that a clear production pipeline is now in place, and that’s what makes regular updates possible moving forward. This update marks the start of a new, more structured phase for the project.
- Back in early February, I tried focusing on the story for a while. I spent over a month working on level designs, new environments, and story ideas—but nothing was clicking. Even after buying assets and hiring so-called “professionals” (who turned out to be scams), I was stuck. Thankfully, Crumb stepped in and helped reshape the beginning of the story—which finally got things moving again. That’s when I realized I had to stay true to what made this game special: its unique map and core mechanics.
- From now on, I’ll be releasing monthly updates—like mini-DLCs—featuring story progression, cinematics, NSFW animations, or new mechanics. I believe this approach will keep the project alive and exciting, and make Patreon feel like more than just a donation.
- I’m giving myself another 4 to 6 months to see if this new model brings in enough support. If not, I’ll consider the project complete and move on to something more sustainable.
- And to be fully transparent: I no longer have the time to spend 4 to 7 hours a day on the game. My personal life is very demanding right now, and at best, I can dedicate one full day here and there when I can find the time.- Once again, thank you all—for your trust, your support, and your passion. You're the reason this game exists.
