Update Information for the last year
Delay and situation
First of all I would like to apologize for the delay and having almost no update information for over last 1 year! I know it is terrible and I am really sorry about that. But the fact is the first update of Survivor Sarah 2 -The Cruel World- was actually like over 90% ready in last December and I was actually planned to release it before the end of 2023 or early 2024 but fail to do so. And over the last few months, I always want to release it but just can't...
One of the biggest reason is my health has been decling in the last few years. I still don't know what exactly caused that but my body is in pain occasionally and it keeps me from my work. So, I have been trying to improve my health by having more execrises, sleep and better life balance. And I do feel better the last few months so I am able to work again and release this update finally.
Fund and hardware
I have opened my SubscribeStar account for almost 2 years now and I have received around $730 support which is really appreciated. Actually, I have bought a new PC last year hoping for faster rendering and work. The fund has actually able to cover that which is really nice.
But having a faster PC is still not enough as the graphic card affects the speed of rendering the most. And also more importantly, the VRAM inside a graphic card decides how many objects I can add in a scene. I remember if I add more than 4 G8 figures then my original graphic card with only 8GB VRAM will not be able to render them and it grealy affect the scene I can create as I won't be able to add more figures for crowded scene. So, I bought a new graphic card with 24GB VRAM which is super expensive for me and is probably one of the most expensive thing that I bought in my life, lol. I tell you here just would like to let you know I am still serious about the development and want to continue so I made such investment.
Development
The development will now focus on the recreation of Survivor Sarah 2 -The Cruel World- just like what you see in the first update. Everything will be remade from the start as I have moved to RPG Maker MZ and Daz3D. All I am going to do in coming months is to release updates for it and try to finish it. The story flow will still be the same and it has 3 Chapters like the RPG Maker XP version but there would be quite some changes to it. If you like Survivor Sarah 2, I hope you can support me.
Daz3D
Since I have moved from Poser to Daz3D(the 3D rendering program), I have been working on it almost everyday to setup my library for the last few years. As I am creating pictures not only with characters but also the whole scene with background now, I have to collect a of stuff to do so. And right now, my Daz3D library is actually good enough to create every games in my mind, lol.
Poplan
Would like to introduce Poplan who is a really nice person that is willing to offer help since a few years ago. He has actually helped on creating sprites and improving dialogues for some previous games. And this time, he actually handles most of the thing in RPG Maker MZ like creating events, sprites, dialogues and maps...etc. A lot of smaller events are his idea which I think it gives more life to the heroines so far. So, basically the difference you see between the XP version and MZ version in the first update are mostly his doing to improve the game which is great.
He also actually invested in the development like buying resources without asking anything in return which is really generous!
Tiers, goal and previous games
There are some changes on the tiers like below(each of them has an icon now in main page):
Free - Zombie
$5 - Survivor
$10 - Reporter
$15 - School Fighter
$20 - Zombie Hunter
$25 - Superheroine
$30 - Secret Agent
The $1 tier won't be available anymore as one of the reason is half of it will be collected as transaction fee. Also, I don't think I have a lot of subscribers to support me at this tier to keep the development going. As my games have lesser amount of audiences because of the extreme fetishs, I have also created some other tiers up to $30. You are still welcome to join the free tier but if you see anything you like please consider about supporting.
New monthly goal $3000
And there would be a new monthly goal which is $3000 a month. I know it is actually really disillusional since it took me 2 years to receive $730 support. But I will keep it there as my target because my dream is to work on Hentai RPG games for a living like a job. I will surely try my best to reach that by releasing updates and finishing games to earn your support.
Moreover, I will open a new pinned post that includes the download links of my previous finished RPG Maker XP games. You can download and play them for free. And if you like it, you can help the development by supporting a tier. All my games are set in the same universe and you will see them eventually connected to tell a story.
Dropbox
Referral Link:
Lastly, as I am working with Poplan now, we are using dropbox to share the files and it is quite often that I have reached my storage size as my account is free and the size of RPG Maker MZ project file are much larger than XP. If you don't mind to help, you can click on the referral link above and register a dropbox account with your email then install dropbox on your PC(require you have never installed it in that machine before). It will increase my storage by 500MB for each register and install and my dropbox size can reach up to 16GB which would greatly help the exchange of files.
Sorry but thanks for the long read!
