FULL EPISODE 1 RELEASE

Here it is! We concluded Episode 1 of SOTW. It took us more time than we initially expected, thanks to DAZ being uncooperative, but we did it.

We have six new videos in this update, lots of new sounds and music, because those are important for every horror story, in my opinion, and we introduced almost all of the most important characters. Even Dev said he enjoyed the story, and he usually only cares about porn, so I guess I did something right.

As I said before, while this is the end of Episode 1, our story has just begun.

Unfortunately, this is also the last free Chapter release. All future chapter releases will be available only to our subscribers at certain tiers. So, that means the full Episode 2 will be available for free, but only when we release Episode 3 for our patrons.

If you're patient, you can wait, or if you are not, you can join us on one of our platforms.

Love you all, no matter what you decide and until the next time, I wish you all good fun and good health!

Devlog for v1.8

-Slapped Lov in the fucking head for his comment (I am completely and utterly...not very offended lol. When you're right, you're right.)

-Added multiple angle swapping scene playback (we only use 2 so far, but it's designed for as many as we need)

-Broke the ren'py image gallery I was using (technically it was already broken and I just noticed)

-Replaced the image gallery with a quick hack to make sure you got your bonus renders...it will be fixed in the next update to not go back to page one, i'll llikely be replacing the entire gallery because it's irritating me and it was the very first thing I ever slapped together in ren'py.

-Fixed the font changing erratically halfway when switching back to English.

Ya, that's about all I can remember this time. I was busy working on multiple mini-games (see previous post/log), and that's likely going to be my focus right now once the gallery is fixed, unless Lov needs something specific.

I really killed ren'py during the initial release...now i'm just making shit up to keep my job lol.

I do want to give a shout out to Joel for all his hard work, the Spanish localisation is entirely up to date for the entire story already, no separate release just for Spanish.

Other than that I said everything I had to say a day or two ago...so i'll be over here kicking the shit out of ren'py and Lov if you need me. Till next time.

Great Scotts Marty, this is the future, the future Dev Logs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HQXHcE6nlo
We're almost ready for release, our Spanish Localisation Team (A one-man army of Joel) is at war with our Engrish, then I need to run it through some testing (like watching the credits five times for each font on PC and Android--no more complaints!!!),, tweak a few minor lines of code and go X-Terminator on any bugs I find.

You can expect the game soon...and it's the biggest update so far this time around, we put in a lot of extra effort, Lov has been rendering 99% of his life away, while I made other games for our game.

In the meantime, as a special treat for the delay and before future development posts get locked behind tiers...we've decided (against my urge to not involve another game before we were on self made solid ground), that we would give you a short preview of the mini-game I've been keeping in the dark--mainly because once I had the dev's permission I went into Fonz mode, punched the stereo (nobody has a jukebox these days lol), and practically finished the general gameplay for it already.

So, first and foremost, I want to give a shout out to Arc (The Arcadean), developer of Corrupted Kingdoms (CK), which I highly recommend checking out, it's hilarious even if it's not your kind of smut...the story is worth it. Find it here.

Arc Games - itch.io or subscribestar

Unfortunately, as someone who has played the entire game, I have to say that Patreon made a mistake when asking them to remove non-nsfw plot-based children from his game, which is a huge part of the story... but I won't shoot myself in the foot, I just stuck in my mouth any further.

What I will say is the dev's a hot shit, I knew them from itch as a no name user and stopped lurking just to get involved on the CK page, but even without telling them my old username in a random message asking to use the assets for CK, they were more than happy to let me and even gave me some extras to work with at the same time.

Really solid dev and all-around decent down-to-earth person who treats all his fans with respect. I don't kiss ass, I don't beg, i'm as blunt as a bat--so that's just my opinion of them and the game, take it as you will.

I do however appreciate everything people do for me, so thank you, my friend!!! I'll send you a free sub when the mini game goes up for early beta testing here for our subscribers, so you can check it out yourself. Cheers!!!

With that out of the way...I've got more games in the works, I've even went so far as to test controls for something similar to Street Fighter which you can find on our youtube if your interested--but I have no plans for that type of game in ren'py (yet at least)...our story is set in 1985 and these are intended as a story plot, so I gotta keep it close to classic... although I intend to make them replayable, and I'll likely go overboard anyway (it's in my genetic programming)

There's a story (skit) behind how this game idea came up between us that will eventually be somewhere in the games menu sections nobody reads like the others, but that will be closer to us reaching the story point, along with beta testing for subscribers of certain tiers.

I haven't came up with a final name for it yet, it still needs sound effects and a score tracker, but its going to have 2 modes (one hidden that can be unlocked by certain actions when playing the main mode), and its going to have other changes before release, but this is a short general look at the gameplay in action so you can see that it's working and playable.

I hope you enjoy my final public sneak peek, and I hope to see you on the other side.

Thank you for all the support....the story-based route is going to be an uphill battle, and we knew it from the very start, so we appreciate every ounce of support we get. I've been programming for over 25yrs and the dream started with wanting to make games, this is the first game I actually released to the world, but it won't be the last, and if I find time to work on different types of projects in different programmming languages in my spare time, you'll find them all here at VNCraft.

More VN's are obvious. I get to plan the next one. That's terrifying even to me lmao.

Catch you on the flipside.

STORY LOG #4

Here is our new Story log. This update is taking longer than expected, but we're close. I would say at 75% or maybe more.

So, what's new? We have four new animations and implemented angle swapping, which will be a regular feature in most of the future animations. More about that you can find in Dev's previous post.

In terms of the story, we have some pleasant and unpleasant experiences for our froshes. We have a quick history lesson about Mythosia. Our game is set in a fictional country, situated somewhere in the Mediterranean. So, Mythosia is a mix of Italy, France, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Albania and every other Mediterranean country you can think of. That way, we are not constricted or limited by any historical or geographical fact.

Although the name of the country was mentioned before, some people thought the game was set in the USA. I hope this misunderstanding is now cleared.

What's left to do before the release of the full Episode 1? In terms of the story and renderings, there are Friday afternoon and night scenes and the final scenes on Saturday morning, when we'll meet a couple of other characters important to the story. This could be done in the next 5 to 10 days, but we'll also need to wait for our friend who's translating the game into Spanish. Still, I'm optimistic about this and I think it'll be released in the first week of May.

Until the next time, I wish you all good fun and good health!

Animation Angle Swapping Preview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_py74Wdu3As

Since Lov is on hiatus somewhere rendering and just tells me to do whatever the fuck I want to do most of the time anyways...I'm just going to do whatever the fuck I want to do and post this haha.

This may not be the final design, and the scenes used here are not meant to be used with this feature so they look a little jumpy during some switching, but the general concept is definitely going to be implimented, possibly in the next update.

The idea behind it is to keep the animations fully in sync when switching between two different views of the same scene so the view will change but the scene will still be at the same point it was when switching angles.

I demonstrate this in the video by using two of the same animations for the first and third 'angle'...they are in fact two separate video files of the same animation running separately, but when I click on either one there is absolutely no change because they're the same scene at the same exact point in time, so its completely seamless.

Originally I made the previews as animated videos as well, but it was distracting and somewhat of a spoiler--I may add it as an optional feature found on the gallery screen...but we haven't decided if that should be a player choice or up to Lov when writing the script code yet.

In any case, this is the latest addition to my crazy coding ideas you should see in the next update.

I've also been working on a second mini-game that will be in the game at the same story point that 'Pik-Man' will, but that one is a secret for now...all I'm going to say is you will see some possibly familiar faces in it from another VN, I've already ran it by the dev and have permission to use them.

Subscribers of tiers with future development posts will be given early acess to beta versions of the mini-games when we're close to that point, and using the bonus code given to cultist tier members and above on the title screen will unlock them in the gallery after we're past that story point for people who may want to play them freely in the special edition of the game.

I'm intending to impliment leaderboards for them to the Steam version eventually as well (and will track scores before that locally)...but obviously that's further down the road.

Over and out.

STORY LOG #3

It has been a while since my last Story log, but it was necessary with our Spanish release and everything else happening. Also, DAZ decided to misbehave but now we’re back on friendly terms. :D

So, we’re at the beginning of the third chapter of Episode 1 – the last Chapter that will conclude this episode, but it’s barely the start of our story.

After the eventful night and the next morning’s invite, our hero is spending his free time exploring the island. Among other places, he’ll visit a hamlet with an interesting name, enjoy some ‘oral and, later on, maybe get lost in the woods… in the most enjoyable way.

Yeah, there will be some naughty scenes, our fans deserve them, but, as always, they’re not some gratuitous porn, but an important part of the story,

It is still too early to predict when this release will be ready, but, hopefully, it’ll be somewhere in April.

A little reminder: our -50% promo discount on all subscriptions will end in 48 hours.

Until the next time, I wish you all good fun and good health!
