Greetings, my dear friends!
How was your month? I hope it went great.
Today, as always, I’m coming to you with some exciting news!
This past month, I ran into a few challenges. While working on the story, many of my initial plans clashed with limitations — mainly in how I could present the scale and scope I originally envisioned. So, I decided to dive into learning Unreal Engine, and now, all my location-based issues have vanished!
As I mentioned in my Discord server, upcoming scenes will take place underwater, above water, in space, in the desert, underground, and many more places. Honestly, I consider this a huge win! I've also learned how to import various assets like clothing, weapons, and other objects — finally putting my Blender skills to good use!
Now, about the upcoming update…
I haven't made a final decision yet, but I’ve already written two possible endings for the current update. Whichever one I choose will send the story in a completely different direction. On one hand, that sounds exciting. On the other... knowing myself, I won’t stop at just two paths.
But more on that later. For now, I’ve decided to split Act 3 into two parts, because doing the entire act at once would take more than 3 months — and I did promise updates every 3 months, didn't I? 😄
Here’s the current development status:
Development Plan – 100%
Renders – 25% (600/2400)
Words – 75% (~20,000 words written, for just one path)
Music – 0% (Yet to begin)
Code – 40% (3,200 lines and counting)
Lewd Scenes – 25% (1 out of 4 completed, though I might end up adding 3 in total)
Moving on to Discord news:
We’ve finally crossed the 1,000-member milestone! I’m incredibly grateful to all of you for that. (Please don’t leave right as I post this =_=")
To celebrate, I’ll soon be posting a poll about a special render to mark the occasion, along with polls for a new Discord banner, monthly renders for paid patrons, and... well, lots of polls. Please forgive me in advance.
Lastly, I’ve decided to choose 6 – 8 key love interests around whom the story will develop, each requiring their own unique paths.
Let’s just say the plans are massive.
And with that, I’m heading back to work!
Thank you all for your attention and support,
Not saying goodbye — just see you soon.
Stay safe and take care.
Yours truly, your friendly neighborhood dev,
NoGlory
