Good morning my friends, fans, followers and supporters.

I hope you had a nice holiday, relaxed and had a lot of fun =)

I'm starting the projects again from today, thought to myself a while ago, hey, give yourself a little break and just do nothing, the weather was nice outside and extremely warm, why don't you go for a ride on the motorbike..

Well, said and done, full of joy I get on the bike, ride off and enjoy tight corners and a speed of 200.

Unfortunately I then had a heart stumble on the way, then several times and at some point it stopped for a short time..

Well, you can imagine the rest, anyway I've been in the hospital since then and couldn't get a word in.

This morning the doctor came into the room, then a lot of young doctors.. stared at me from head to toe.. maximum uncomfortable!

But the hoses were removed and I was allowed to get up, it didn't really work, but at least I can now roll to the toilet myself.

That's why I thought, start working again today and start writing the story of Deadlocked Season 1 Final.

Well if all goes well I'll be out by the weekend and can start rendering, otherwise I'll have to keep writing, oh that'll be fine.

Just so you know, I know I haven't been very active the past few weeks and I hope you'll forgive me.

Best regards

your Neko

Guten Morgen meine Freunde, Fans, Follower und Supporter.

Ich hoffe ihr hattet schöne Ferien, habt euch erholt und hattet jede menge Spaß =)

Ich starte ab heute wieder mit den Projekten, dachte mir vor einer weile, hey gönnst dir eine kleine Auszeit und machst einfach mal nichts, war gerade schönes Wetter draußen und extrem warm, fahr doch mal eine Runde mit dem Motorrad..

Ja nun, gesagt getan, voller Freude steige ich auf das Bike, fahre los und genieße enge Kurven und Tempo 200.

Leider hatte ich dann unterwegs ein Herz Stolpern, dann mehrmals und irgendwann blieb es kurzzeitig stehen..

Naja, den rest könnt ihr euch denken, jedenfalls liege ich seit dem im Krankenhaus und konnte mich nicht zu Wort Melden.

Heute Morgen kam der Arzt ins Zimmer, dann jede menge junge Ärzte.. haben mich von Kopf bis Fuß angestarrt.. maximal unangenehm!

Aber die Schläuche wurden entfernt und ich durfte aufstehen, klappte zwar nicht so wirklich aber immerhin darf ich ab jetzt selbst aufs Klo rollen.

Deswegen dachte ich mir, fängst heute wieder mit der Arbeit an und startest direkt mit dem Schreiben der Story von Deadlocked Season 1 Final.

Nun, wenn alles gut geht komme ich zum Wochenende raus und kann mit dem Rendern beginnen, andernfalls muss ich weiterschreiben, ach wird schon werden.

Nur damit ihr Bescheid wisst, ich weiß ich bin nicht sehr aktiv in den letzten Wochen und hoffe ihr verzeiht mir.

Liebe Grüße

eure Neko

I greet you my fans, supporters and followers <3

First of all I would like to thank you all for your support, without you I would have given up long ago.

let's get to the actual topic
As many have already noticed, my team and I are currently working on Maou-Sama Week 4.

I started rendering on Monday, Day 22 will be the last update before the grand finale.
So it will then go like this:
There will be 2 updates of each ending, there will be 3 different endings in total and one original ending.

Basically you have already decided your way since week 1, because you collect different points, you have a minimum number of points in all 3 weeks, you can exchange them and unlock the original ending
You will see exactly how this works at the end of D22 and then you will also know which ending awaits you.

After D22 the last 2 updates of Deadlocked will come, after that I'll start again with Maou-Sama.

I wrote 21876 words for D22, there will be about 50 animations in total and I estimate about 1000 renders or a little more, can't remember exactly

this time there will be a gallery again and I will update it with every further update.

The future after Maou-Sama and Deadlocked is currently out of my hands.
As I said last year, things are not going so well anymore and every month there is less support.

I want you to know that I've never been about money, the only thing I want to earn from my work is the money to pay my bills, everything else is a bonus.

If Maou-Sama starts to pick up again, I'd love to talk about a sequel, I've got plenty of ideas, especially since many people wanted a story with a family where the main character is the Daddy.
Then feel free to share your ideas with me

I want to share some new characters with you in the next days, these will appear in the various endings, exactly what they show up as is up to you.
because there are a few more important decisions in D22.

I mainly post the characters in my discord because I have better control over the content there, but if I have a little more time, I also render extra ones for the subscribestar page.

I wish you a nice and pleasant time and would of course be very happy about further support
you are also welcome to join my discord server and just start chatting, I'm always online, even if I'm rendering at the same time.

Your ~Neko~

At the moment I can't say if Akuma no Maou / Ikarus will ever see the light of day.

The number of supporters has dropped steadily over the last few months and at the moment it even looks like I have to go for a job to even be able to pay my bills.
(I dont need much but paying my Bills is what I need to work all the Time on this Projects)

That means less time for the visual novels and less money to buy all the assets or any equipment to improve quality in the science-fiction genre.

So no more 1x Update each Month.

If you consider that I still had about 400 supporters in January and today only about 200-250, it shows me that inflation has everyone under control and that many are no longer interested.

I will definitely finish Deadlocked and Maou-Sama, but all other projects are currently on the brink.

We'll see what time brings.

my dear supporters, fans and followers

Today I would like to talk about a few topics that you can expect in the future,
I'm currently working on Deadlocked Chapter 7 and the rest of the events,
once everyone is done - comes the finale of Chapter 7 and thus the finale of Season 1.

Which events are coming next?

There we have Rilana and Audrey, one day vacation at a hotel with special guests,

Melanie and Chelsea have rented a holiday home but all is not what it seems

Cindy and Ariana don't feel like going on vacation, but the three of you spend a lot of time together

Ashley, Elise and Evelyn take you on a yacht to an island, who knows what horrors await you?

Carmen or Lanta want to go on a date with you in the park, but this is interrupted, by who?

Angelina and Marielle have invited you to their place, you get to know the whole family with all their quirks.

The finale of Chapter 7 will be a challenge for many, the story will be a bit more difficult to understand, if you don't know Maou-sama, there's also a point where things are told that up to now will not make any sense yet.

After the end of Season 1, the Maou-Sama finale continues.
These updates will redefine the "end" theme, on the one hand there will be 1 update for your desired end,you had time in every new week to collect so-called points, these were hidden and you couldn't influence them.
So you will stand in front of Lanka and she will lead you to 4 portals, choose your points ending and enjoy the ending.
If you have farmed a certain number of points in all weeks, you can choose each end. The fourth will be my original ending and the original story ending as well.

After the end of Maou-Sama, after a short break, we continue with the next project

Akuma No Maou

This story is the beginning of the end, here you will learn why the senate was formed, Who are the Kork and what is their goal.

Who and what are the two sisters exactly, are they really the creators of the universe?

Who or what is Jill?

She comes and goes as she pleases, once wearing a mask and escorting a man she calls her father, then her appearance changes and she contributes to initiating the end, is she evil or is she playing by her own rules?

The world of Akuma no Maou takes place on a previously unknown planet in a parallel world there the technology is already so far advanced that life no longer arises naturally, but grown in a lab according to a precise plan.
Humans and non-humans live together in a small village, but what exactly is their goal?

You will take on the role of "Marcus" or whatever you want to call him, you are the result of countless attempts to create a man with gender, through a special DNA that a test subject was able to secure, you develop special abilities during your creation, who probably had his fingers in the pie?

Akuma no Maou will be a science fiction visual novel with lots of cyberpunk and end time elements, moreover, in order to make the story believable, it receives only a small part of fantasy, What awaits you in any case, like in Deadlocked, is a world in which you can decide for yourself which women interest you and which do not, do you build a new harem or do you want to stay single.

The story can also be influenced, make choices that bring good or bad, Enjoy this wonderful world and dive into the beginning of the end.

The sequel will be set in the world of Deadlocked and will be called "Ikarus"
You'll experience certain flashbacks in both Deadlocked and Akuma no Maou, and you'll end up on the Ikarus, this is enormously important for the story to be able to understand everything better.

More information will follow when the time comes.

There will be some changes to the support system on Patreon and Subscribestar after Deadlocked Season 1 and Maou-Sama Week 4, based on my current experience with the tiers that include "create character" this will be phased out.

Unless you convince me otherwise.

Initially, the tier with its own side character was used fairly quickly, but was canceled after 1-2 updates and I just stood there and didn't know what to do with the characters, in Deadlocked I kept them in there and gradually changed themselves so that they can be better integrated.

As I said, this system will be abolished, I see that you cannot plan in advance what the financial situation will bring, but comments like "I'll be back next month" or "you're welcome to take them out for as long as you like" is very exhausting in a story.

I'll think about how I can make the higher support more palatable to you, I'm also willing to hear your comments regarding this, if you have any ideas.

Attached you will find a few teaser renders of Maou-Sama and Akuma No Maou, If you have any questions, you can always join the Discord.

Now I wish you a nice Sunday
