Welcome to spooky monday. There are two reasons why monday is such a frightening day.

1) I need a intro for this update post and I need a connection to Feeneera... so... don't judge me!
b) The weekend is over.
And third and most painful one... it's veggie day at my local stripclub.

We finished another scene which I must say was kinda a nightmare. But I think I can say that the scene really turned out very well and much better than we expected. And hopefully you guys will like it too.

We are both looking forward to finish chapter 2 as soon as possible and we can't wait to finally show you guys how the story continues.

And of course here you have another small teaser sneak peek to close this status update!

Whoops... Sorry, that's not in the game.

Thank you all for your patience.

- Finue & Kuvira

Just a quick information that I now have a website.
The website is central station with all information and free download links. You will still find the latest paid build here.

In the future I plan to add more things like full Character sheets and other stuff.

You can find my new website on www.kuviragames.com

Special thanks to Finue you probably know her from Feeneera. If you did not play Feeneera yet.... I give you three seconds to start the download now!

She is such wonderful person and a powerful coding wizard that even Gandalf and Dumbledore would be jealous. Most of the work is done by her and without her the site would not exist.

She has website too so I give you another 3 seconds to open this link www.finue.net

And what would be a new post without a new render?

Yeah still alive, whoop whoop. I will separate this post into two sections. The game and Kuvira/behind the scenes stuff for those who are interested.

Game part

Let's start with the game so those who doesn't care don't have to read to much.

The development of the next Lovephobia and Feeneera update already started of course.
Specially on Feeneera the only thing that is missing for the whole chapter two are the Images and the translations. Thanks to Finue the development on Feeneera works like a charm. And I can tell you already that she did some cool magic and the part that is already ready feels fantastic. (In my opinion)
With Lovephobia I am sadly not so fast. It was hot as hell and I spent more time away from my PC and outside meeting friends or riding motorcycle. But I guess a lot of you did the same.
Now it's still about 30° Celsius but far away from dying inside your home.

I am happy with what I created so far but I also have to say that I had something like a writers block. One of the problems was that I had a problem to decide what the characters should do. For those who play quiet a lot of AVNs probably realized that at one point you will be in a gym, in a cinema, or spin the bottle game and so on. And I was at that point where I didn't knew what to create and thinking about to do exactly something like this. I didn't finish it and deleted that part because for me it did felt right. It's a huge downside creating day by day. The rework will be in chapters so that I can leave out.. I don't want to call it filler stuff because I still try that it's not skippable stuff but let's be honest.. some scene could be easily removed. So I think working in chapters and focusing on the main events is much much better.
The good thing is that I came up with something where I think no matter if you play with or without Zoe it's a bit funny and enjoyable.
I didn't touch route B and C yet and I mean I don't say any estimated release date but I can say that it's nowhere even close for an release.

Kuvira/Behind the scenes part

Like I mentioned already I spend a lot of time outside during the hot weather. Lately a lot on my motorcycle and when I work on Lovephobia or Feeneera I am able to create like 4-5 Images. I still see complaints about development time and I understand I really do. I still play a few games and I get annoyed when it takes to much time for the next release.
But since the beginning I developed my own skills to a level where I have to chose between faster but average quality or it takes longer but therefore -at least in my opinion- having good looking images.

The both Images from the next update you can see above each one cost around 1 or 2 hours. And that does not include setting up the scene itself. So I am just talking about posing, rendering and post editing.

Here another example

I mean this is just one character with a simple background and it took around 20 minutes just for the rendering. Sometimes it goes faster, sometimes slower. And you still need to consider that I am doing this next to a full time job and a shitty PC. A lot of you know all this already but like I said I still see complaints and all so I wanted to address it again.

I planned to write this update already last month but honestly I am like a kid in an adult body and because of the heat, the writers block and the less time I spent on the computer I kinda run away from my "responsibilities" like closing your eyes and so it doesn't exist. Or like letters you are afraid to open and so you leave it and hope problems are solving on their own. Maybe some of you can relate to that, haha.

I can also advice to join my discord server there you can chat with me, ask me everything and everything else even without being an subscriber.
And as a last gift a render I did today because I thought it could be a funny idea. I hope you like it.

For those who doesn't recognize the outfit - that is Ava dressed as Grace from Resident Evil. Maybe I create a whole scene with it but I don't know yet so no promise on that. :D

I wish you all a wonderful time and all the best.
