News & Game Dev Update #10

Hey everyone!

It’s update time, and I’ve got both exciting news and a few important changes to share. Here’s the full rundown:

Game Development Progress

Rendering, rendering, rendering...
I’m making solid strides on the game itself, but rendering all those unique scenes and character expressions is eating up most of my time. I’m eyeing a hardware upgrade down the road to speed things up, but for now, thank you for your patience as each frame processes!
Pinned Post = Progress Tracker
I update the pinned post regularly so you can see the development progress toward release. I still have a fair bit of work ahead, but I’m confident I’ll be able to announce an official launch date within the next few weeks.
Full Steam Ahead on Development
During story concepts and early experiments, I was sharing lots of extras and free artworks. Now that the core design is locked down, I need 100% of my focus on building Unspoken Bonds. That means less "side project" content and more game polish.

What’s Changing in Your Rewards

Final “Behind the Scenes” Drops
- I’ll post all remaining artworks from Season 1 this week.
- A planned Season 2 of BTS content will be canceled, my full attention goes to the game now. Artworks I've already done for it, will be released also!
Bonus Content for Supporters
- Wallpapers & Pin‑Up Calendar continue as fun extras, but think of them as bonuses, not the main event.
- The "Unreleased" series same as for Making-Of content will still arrive... just on a regular, not daily, schedule.
Why the Shift?
- To prevent Unspoken Bonds' first release dragging on for years, I need to channel all my creative energy into finishing the the first build itself. I guess you can imagine it is a lot of work so I'm grateful for your understanding.

Stay in the Loop!

Keep an eye on the pinned post for fresh status updates, and that all‑important release date announcement.
Next dev update drops soon, I can’t wait to show you how much closer we are!

Thank you all for your incredible support and understanding. Let’s bring Unspoken Bonds to life together!

News & Game Dev Update #9

Hey everyone!

First off, sorry for the radio silence the past few days! There's actually a simple reason behind it, which I want to share in this update.

Shifting Priorities

As you know, I’ve been working on my first visual novel, which obviously takes up a lot of time. At the same time, I really wanted to give you all daily content, but I’ve realized that’s just not sustainable, even with some pre-made stuff. One of the two things always ends up suffering, either the artwork or the game.

So moving forward, I want to shift my focus more toward working on the game itself and slow down the daily content a bit. Don’t worry, you’ll still be getting freebies, wallpapers, and the pin-up calendar, just not every single day. I’ll post them when the timing feels right so that we can hopefully release the first version of “Unspoken Bonds” sometime later this year.

It's a bit of a bummer, but I hope you understand. So stay excited for new releases, there’ll just be a little less posting overall so I can have enough time to really develop the game.

Updates

Hailey Rae
I wasn’t completely happy with her body shape, so I reworked it. Her feet and face stayed the same.

Aaliyah Jordan (NEW!)
I spent a long time working on “Skye,” but I was never 100% happy with her. So I started fresh and ended up creating “Aaliyah” and I absolutely love how she turned out. She’ll be taking over Skye’s role from now on.

Maxine “Max” Westcott (NEW!)
Same thing for Max. Some of you might remember the very first version from Season Zero, I really didn’t like how she looked back then. So I gave her a complete makeover and added a lot more personality. She’s officially part of the team now!

That’s it for now! Catch you in the next update, friends!
