THE STEAM PAGE FOR SNOW DAZE HAS LAUNCHED!

We're finally ready to show you our work on the remake! Feel free to add this to your wishlist so you can get it when it's fully ready to launch! Take a look at the lovely gallery!

We are also working on a discount on Redaze for anyone that owned Snow Daze. We have to negotiate with steam to get that ready, but we will do it.

For patrons and people who prefer to buy on itch.io, announcements for specific discounts and aid will come as soon as we're ready. Each area is separate and has to be worked on separately. Let us know what you think below!

Hey folks, I need to break character for a second and talk about some things that have happened lately. 

First, I'll say the remake is going extremely well. Our publisher, Critical Bliss, is doing a lot to help us with the art and many other aspects of building the game. I want to bring only the highest quality to you and they can help bring it. 

During October I was moving to a new place. I am a veteran, and have a spinal injury from military service. I've had physical therapy and plenty of treatment, but sometimes one of my legs stops working, and it did while I was moving. I fell down the stairs and got hurt.

It's pretty bad and I will have to take some time off for surgery somewhat soon. The good news is that because it was a military injury getting re-injured and not something new, the VA will cover this. I do not need a fundraiser or much of anything from you folks except well wishes. Your games will continue coming without interruption, and I will recover.

Personally, I believe the true test of a business is the "bus problem". If someone important at my business got hit by a bus tomorrow, could my business continue? Considering my injury I've been preparing for years in case something like this happened. The people that work with and for me are capable of continuing work without me for a while. LewdLogic and Critical Bliss have been helping out immensely, but the team is also solid and very skilled. 

I will not be stepping off the project or stopping work entirely, and I've already done additional writing you all have yet to see. However, I'm not capable of doing much work right now. I will definitely not be here during or after surgery for a bit. I'll let you know more as I do.

For now I'll continue looking forward and encourage you to do the same. We'll have some wonderful things coming soon!

    * Include resolution settings and mouse tutorial.
- Console tutorial
- Microphone commands: Taking into account player's progress.
- Add a mini-quest for the dildo command.

Minor changes:
- The janitor was tired of seeing flying apples around the ceiling, so he left a message...
- ... But that doesn't stop apples from invading the moon.
- Remove cheat functions.

VR Fixes:
- Index: Trigger issue.

Common Fixes:
- Reset save: Not completely reset.
- Save: Retrocomptability with new settings.
- Audio settings: Not completely loaded on start.
- Remote: Can't change channel when displaying item's info.

Note that the Keyboard and mouse beta download is non-vr only.

News and Bonus Art By MeltyVixen!

Hello everyone! I'm here to give you the news! We've been pretty quiet lately because we've been working like mad on the Snow Daze revamp! First, enjoy this bit of bonus art by Meltyvixen. She's one of the newest members of the art team and our current colorist. We're thrilled to have her onboard! If you want more, she's @meltyvixen on twitter. 

Now for the news!

We're currently working on the Snow Daze revamp! This is a process where we're working on reviewing and touching up all of the art of the game, sometimes completely redrawing art that didn't quite work. All of it is getting the amazing penciling work of Idlecum, inks of Carlis, and color of Meltyvixen. Snow Daze will finally have consistent art!

But that's not all. We're going to be changing the enslavement scenes from simple two-frame animation to actual animation, and we're hiring an actual animator to take care of it. More to come when we can show you some video of it!

We're also working on new character images used in-game which we call character puppets. The revamped puppets were made by Teslakoi, touched up by idlecum and new outfits designed by Meltyvixen. I'll be showing off the revamped costumes soon! You'll be surprised by how good they look.

Snow Daze will still be the same game when we're done, but revamped and improved dramatically visually. We'll also be adding on the bonus day, which is a fuller epilogue and lead in to Tropical Daze. The second we're done with it, we'll be moving onto Tropical Daze. 

Speaking of Tropical Daze, work is actually currently ongoing on the story! I am working with CalamitousIntent and Waifus and Syrup on writing tropical daze! CalamitousIntent was once a fan like you that has worked his way up helping on several games now, and Waifus and Jam makes Evebloom, another fine hypnofetish game! Currently, we are working on days 2-3 of the writing. Like Snow Daze, tropical daze will have five days and a bonus day sized epilogue. 

We're a true team now, working efficiently on on big tasks! Wish us good fortune and we'll be getting it out to you soon. 

Look forward to a lot of neat previews in the near future!
