Lorepoll

You guys remember the last poll, were i let you have a tiny peek behind the curtains? Well here is it again: information that might be interesting but that I can't just drop into the game without it seeming strange. What additional lore information would interest you?

No rest for the wicked. (Spoilerpost.)

No time to rest, the danger is not over yet.

Powerranking

Thank you for your votes! You all wanted to know the power ranking between the characters, so here it is.

(Unfortunately, it's not in Comic Sans :( had prepared such a beautiful document).

A few explanatory notes about the ranking: The ranking spans from Chapter 1 to Chapter 8 and inc...

Work of the last few days

For the record; I have wasted the last few days creating a new animation.

Now you say: What? Wasted? Cool NSFW animations are not a waste.

I have two things to say about this:

1-  Yes, you are basically right.

2- But of course I genius did not make NSFW animations but...

And everyone will be swept away by it. (Spoilerpost.)

War is coming. With all its glory... and all its horror.

Spoilerpost?

So this happens relatively at the beginning of the chapter so is it really a spoiler post?

But it pretty much sets the tone and advances the story for the next chapters?

So even if the question might not be hard to answer....
What do you think did Noel discover?

Yesterday, I had the idea to let you guys have a tiny peek behind the curtains: information that might be interesting but that I can't just drop into the game without it seeming strange. What additional lore information would interest you?

First sneak peak

Okay, so onto the results of the last vote. The narrow majority wanted me to stay with my current frequency, but "once a week" was not far behind. So, I figured that from now on, I'll post something about every four days, which I think is a good compromise.

Which brings us to today's post. ...

Work is going full steam ahead and a survey.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I am fully back in the workflow. I'm really looking forward to bringing Chapter 9 to life and can't wait to share the new plot twists and storylines with you.

Also, since we have some new Patreons, (by the way, thank you so much for your s...

Have Fun!

The future

As you know, I always use the time between Patreon release and public release to prepare myself. That means fixing bugs from the old chapter (if you find any, please let me know) and thinking about the next chapter. More on that now: "Companion of Darkness" is getting too big, filesize-wise.

Working on the UI

I am currently working on the UI,
or rather I have hired someone to work on the UI for me. So that I can concentrate fully on working on chapter 8. I really hope that it will be finished by the time i am done with chapter 8.
here you can see the new main menu, still work in progress.

and here we go again...

It looks as if the two of them just can't stop arguing.
it's about time mc settles this.

oh i don't know if you see this but for this render i had to lower the quality because my pc strangely always crashes when i try to capture it at normal quality. (My pc is more potato than tec...

Only a fool would hope...

to be able to travel through france without having to fight.
Many Companions there see the energy that our main character emits not as a danger, but as an opportunity to enrich themselves.

(Spoilerpost.) Not every injury can be seen

Even if you manage to save Emma. Is it not over yet.
Some wounds are difficult to heal.

progress

Hi hi

I spent the last two days fixing bugs and rewriting the story a bit. Boring, I know. But tomorrow I'm going to start rendering again and then there will be some sneak peaks. 

If I had to give a percentage of how far I am, I would say about 70%, but all in all it depends on ...
