Weekly Dev Progress #11 | Episode 2 (Part 2)

This is crazy.

Yesterday, Episode 2 (Part 1) was finally released publicly, and when I woke up this morning and saw what was happening, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes.

The number of new people joining the Discord, messages I've received, new supporters willing to financially help me continue developing NerveFade, and all the kind words about how much the game has improved since Episode 1...

It's honestly overwhelming in the best possible way.

If you compare my numbers to some other developers, they might seem pretty modest yet. But for me, this genuinely feels like a dream.

So I just want to say thank you to every single person who is part of this project.

NerveFade may have started as something I was making on my own, but it doesn't feel like that anymore.

And while all of that was happening, development of Episode 2 (Part 2) continued.

Most of this past week was spent on coding, especially adding the character dialogue. I originally write all of my dialogue separately in a text editor rather than directly inside the game code, so now I'm going through the script and bringing all of those conversations into the game.

On the visual side, I'm already about 25% through the planned renders for Part 2.

The events of Part 2 will take place during the second half of Day 2. As you've probably figured out by now, one episode represents one day in the story, so Part 2 will be the conclusion of Episode 2.

A lot of things that happened in Episode 1 and Part 1 will start falling into place. At the same time, some moments will probably leave you with even more questions than before.

I obviously don't want to spoil anything, but I think the second half of Day 2 will be pretty important for the story going forward.



For now, my main priority remains the same: rendering.

I'll be spending the next week continuing to work on the visuals for Part 2 and pushing that 25% further toward completion.

And once again...

Thank you.

For playing, for sharing your thoughts, for supporting the game, and simply for being here.

I really appreciate every single one of you.



Have a great weekend, everyone! ❤️
