It is time for news!

Hi everyone!

It’s time to recap all the devblog posts and share the news!

First of all, regarding 0.19: I’m happy to hear that most of you enjoyed the updated, especially the animations. The lighting also received a lot of positive feedback, however I’m still considering if it’s worth leaving it, as some people also experienced performance issues related to lighting. I firmly decided to leave it off on the mobile version – again, for the sake of performance. Most likely I’ll have to breathe life into the locations by simply layering up images on top of them – for example, the location of the brothel.

The work on 0.20 if gull under way: the plan is set and the base logic is built. Also, we’ve already created 3D concepts for the update. The overall way of development changed: this time, instead of getting right into writing the text, I decided to first work on sketches and getting the first build together. This will allow me to perceive the update as a whole sooner, and also speed up the work on the text since I will be able to see the big picture.

The 0.20 update will progress and finish the brothel route. The main theme of it will feature fights – parodying WWE to be precise – with various costumes and juicy holds and grips. Noemi’s outfit will feature two variants: outside of fight (left) and during the fight (right). They are not final yet, but you should have the general idea.

Noemi will be fighting women, so you can expect a hefty portion of lesbian-related content. Vivea will take part in it. By the way, the way she appears in the story will be completely reworked.

The fighting gameplay is a bit raw at the moment, so it is too soon for demonstration.

Putting a new start of the game into the 0.20 is a high priority. More precisely, removing LST points and leaving the focus on SPL LST. Also increasing SPLT LST acquisition before the camp. H-games won’t go anywhere, but the repeats will be removed since they gave no cutscenes. This will be one of the first changes that will affect the starting experience. There will be more in the future but there won’t be any major cuts or rework – mostly just Quality of Life changes.

Regarding the future plans. After 0.20, the second general’s arc will start. It will probably take 2 updates, and the third general’s arc would be next. After them, the final act of the game. As I mentioned before, I already have a plan of how the game should end, so we’re going for it! Once that’s done, I’ll be fixing the unfinished and rough places left in the game.

Now, regarding our teamwork. We couldn’t figure it out with MesaFer. However, we still continue work together on the plugins. My old pal has recently joined the project, and for now the work is going well and productive. Again, I’ll give it a month or once we’re done with the update development to see how it “works out” – then I will introduce him officially. I have already mentioned by brother – same with him: I’ll see the results of our work once the update is done and make a decision regarding our work together in the future.

That’s it for now, thank you so much for your attention and support! Take care of yourself and your dear ones!

The update is ready.

Hello everyone.

I'm sorry that again(again and again and again and again... ) I delayed the update. I didn't have anything to say anymore and just wanted to push it to the end and it took a bit longer. I understand, the last two updates, or rather their deadlines, spoil my reputation, but the game sucked all their strength. As I said earlier, from this update, I will not work alone, at all... That is, even if @MesaFer and I fail and we can't release the next update faster than 5-6 months, I will freeze the project until I can find a way to give you stable and short deadline updates. I don't want to torture you or myself with long updates or “milk” the project.

But that's if it doesn't work out.

I believe in the success of the next update, moreover, my brother decided to help me. He helped a bit since 0.2 version, he helped with plans, and some story moments, and also helped with tests, so he knows the project well. He will help me with the text and the plans. He will also make sure that I do a weekly news.

Again, sorry for such a long update, especially for the people who support me. Wait just a month and I think you will see the first results of the changes in the speed of development.

The update is ready and it’s on the discord test channel. If there are no critical bugs, the release will be the next day.

I've tried hard on this update. So I hope 0.19 will be able to surprise you and please your eyes:).

NEWS!!!

Hey, guys! Why can’t I upload an update to Patreon?

Sorry for being silent – was super focused on work, but something quite unexpected for me has just happened.

Sooo… Welp, my Patreon page was blocked. Support is silent and gives me no info whatsoever.

I’ll keep trying to get at least some form of an answer from them. If I am left with no choice but to cut the “shady” or suspicious content – I’ll cut it. But that’s an optimistic way of looking at it. Judging by the experience of other developers on the platform – the support will probably just ignore me, keeping all the money.

This radically changes everything – after all, Patreon is my main platform.

The update will be released this month, that’s for certain, but I will have to delay it because if there is even the slightest chance my page can be restored, I’d like to release it on Patreon as well.

Most likely, the next update will be released regardless of the outcome of the Patreon situation. So, the plans to work with @MesaFer have not been canceled. This will be a medium update and we’ll do our best to release it in 3 months or so. I have enough funds for it… After that, I’ll have to consider the finances once the 0.20 is released. If I manage to recover losses from the blocked page – great, nothing changes and we keep working. Otherwise, there is a chance I’ll have to shelve Dilmur and return to it later at some point. I’m not sure what happens in this scenario. A new project, perhaps? Or join someone else’s project? In any case, for now, I have the plan written out until the end of this year. We’ll see what happens when we get there.

Telling you everything as it is and as it will be. Perhaps I’m not very good at setting strict deadlines and fulfilling them, but at least I can come up with something like a strategy and make it work (I hope at least). Something like that anyway. I’ll keep writing about any updates and news here. Thanks for your attention!

Oh, right – here’s one of the animation variations. Perhaps it can cheer you up if slightly! :)
