August Progress

Just a quick progress update, since most other locations across the web are up to speed!

Draft for In Blood is complete, Brenton’s revisions are complete and I’m currently working on Tristin and Karon’s revisions.

Artwork is being worked on all the time <3 We’ve only got a handful of CGs left and 1 BG

Music in also in progress, with some really cute/spooky tracks completed

Brenton’s VA has started to record his lines! 

Brenton’s route was submitted to beta-players who backed us on Kickstarter. Beta feedback was good, and we’re planning to tweak his endings and look at the affection mechanic.  We’ll also be adding a bit more spicy content as requested. (Is saying spicy… too spicy for tumblr now??)

Lots of fun things coming down the line! Stay tuned!

Now I retreat back into my cave so I can work on those edits~

Slowly Returning To Tumblr!

It’s been…. a few years maybe?

I’m slowly getting back on tumblr for game related content <3

Most active area will be In Blood’s tumblr since that is the game I currently have in development! (Check it out if you haven’t already!)

I ask everyone to be patient while I try to relearn this crazy site and balance it with game development work in general > <

Leaving Tumblr

So with tumblr imploding I’ll be taking my game updates elsewhere. I’m mainly on Twitter, but I have a few other sources where you can keep up to date on all game-dev news. You can also sign up for a newsletter, though I only send those out for big things happening! <3

(I’m not sure if tumblr will even show this post...)

Sorry for the inconvenience! But with everything that is going on I want to make sure that anyone who follows for game updates can get them > <

If you are a Kickstarter backer know that those updates will go on as usual, on Kickstarter ^^

November

I’ve posted the November update for Kickstarter backers! So head over and check it out if you backed! LINK

One more sprite has been completed(Iris), and more to come soon. I’ve mapped out the endings and the draft is slowly becoming complete(currently at 115K words!) and I’ve got chunks of staging complete!

So much exciting progress, and I can’t wait to finish the game and release it for everyone (hopefully early 2019!) I am working really hard to get it out, and to make it the best version of itself.

Enjoy this screenshot sneak peek!

October

If you’re a Kickstarter Backer go check out the October Update! Otherwise I am pleased to let you all know that 1 more sprite is done (The Mayor), and progress is still going strong! Check out the image of complete/in-progress sprites below:

Enjoy this spooky month of October, and look out for more updates in November!

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Little Updates

I’ve got more sprite work done, another music track done, and all the background art is finished! The word count has also surpassed the 100K mark, and I’ve only got the endings parts to write.

Have some super fancy screenshots with polished assets! I hope you are all still excited for the final game. I’m working hard to bring it to you ^^

Looking Back

Pinewood Island has been out for a year now! I released it last year on Itch.io August 25th, (Oct on Steam).

When I initially released Pinewood Island my expectations were low. I had scraped together the money to fund it and as far as anyone knew I was a nobody. Why would they buy my game?

I assumed Pinewood Island would sell a handful of copies. 1? 5? even 10 sounded impossible to me.

As of today I have sold almost 800 copies. Now that number would probably be laughed at by some companies, but to me it is incredible.

I also made enough to put together a demo for another project (Check it out on Itch.io: As We Know It). With the demo I launched a Kickstarter and it was funded! (Also check out the tumblr page for it!)

My success has been small, but it is mine and I’m happy with it. I’ve also made friends within the VN community, and I’ve learned so so much. I’ll keep making games as long as I can, and I wish I could personally thank everyone who ever bought or enjoyed my games.

I’m going to keep making games as long as I can, and I hope you all like them!

[as-we-know-it-vn]

I made a small post about looking back on my first game: Pinewood Island and I want to share it with all of you ^^

[as-we-know-it-vn]

If you happen to be a backer, head on over to Kickstarter to read the August update!! And even if you’re not, please join me in staring at this beautiful background. It’s the bar, so now Sam and her bar are both complete!

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Will the final game cost to buy or will it be free like the demo? Gotta know so I can save up my money! lol

The final game will be available on Steam and Itch.io for $19.99 USD

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Sam is almost finished! Does she look as bad ass as you thought she was? I think so.

Check out the demo if you haven’t already.

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Hi! I don't know if it's okay to send asks? But, I just wanted to say that I saw the demo a couple of days ago and it looks fantastic! I can't wait to play the game. Eva is getting me through finals. That girl, I love her! The rest of the characters seem awesome too! They feel very real and it's easy to connect with them. Hope everything is going well! I'm going back to studying! (If it's not okay to send asks just ignore this and I'm very sorry)

It’s perfectly alright to send asks! I’m really glad you like the game and I hope you do great on your finals. Eva is one of my favorites as well ^^ Thanks for letting me know

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Updates

Not a lot of tangible updates, but I will say that I am working hard on the game! More background art has been completed, and more writing has been done. Hopefully I’ll have more progress to show off soon!

[as-we-know-it-vn]

a few updates

There are some more finished backgrounds done, and the writing is going well! I’ve started to map out all of the many... many... endings! I’m working hard to make this game awesome, so please forgive the lackluster updates. I’m spending a lot of time writing and working with asset creators :)

also! If you backed at least $5 don’t forget to pick up your wallpapers!

[as-we-know-it-vn]

Kickstarter Funds

I’ve gotten the money from Kickstarter, so I can start working on finishing up the game! I’ve contacted my various asset creators, and am working really hard to finish and polish the script. If you pledged over $5, you can go to the Kickstarter and download the wallpapers now!

Thank you all so much for any/all support you’ve given me so far. I really hope I can create a game you all really enjoy!
