Developer's Journal 4:6

Hey everybody. Slow week for me as I've been fighting a bad cold. Getting sick is really bad for game development because I still have to do my day job when I'm sick but staying up late is a bad idea, and staying up late is the only way to get work on the game done after the day job is ove...

Developer's Journal 4:5

Hey everybody. This was a busy week for my personal life as I've got family in town for Easter. It's hard for me to go full speed on the game when I have family visiting, but I still churned out a few dozen renders.That's about all for this week, nothing too interesting to talk about.T...

Developer's Journal 4:4

Hey everybody. At this point I'm assuming that if you're reading these dev journals you're already caught up on Episode Three, but this entry definitely is spoiler heavy for Episode Three.Much of Episode Four, predictably, will deal with the emotional fallout brought on by Rockford's...

Poll for March Special Render

Okay, if you're new to my page, the Bigger and Biggest Supporter tiers get access to monthly special renders of the ladies of Leaving DNA. You can look up renders from previous months by using the "special render" tag in my posts.These renders are non-nude, non-sexual. Sometimes they m...

Developer's Journal 4:3

Hey everybody. This week I knocked out the opening scene of Episode Four in which Aghavni and MC talk through his theory of the case. It was easy enough because the environment/lighting was already set up in Episode Three. By the way, there was one line of some interest from Aghavni in the ending sc...

Special Render: Space Maid Warrior Jamie

For the second episode in a row, Jamie ran away with the win in the Best Girl poll. From the looks of it, I'd say it's going to her head.What's going on in this render? Is Jamie defending her spaceship by fighting off a horde of flesh-eating zombie invaders, or is she a homicidal maniac ...

Dream Scene: Episode Four

Our upper-tier supporters have chosen Vega to get her own bonus scene in the next update! And I'm pretty goddman excited about it....Vega delivered one of the most crushing lines of the story so far when she called out the MC for his treatment of women. Players were divided over whether or not t...

Developer's Journal 4:2

Hey everybody. I'm making the journal entry public this week because I want to report on the Steam launch, and there were a lot of people who aren't Patreon/SS Supporters who nonetheless helped make it a success.In the first 24 hours after Leaving DNA launched on Steam it sold 982 copies. In...

Developer's Journal 4:1

**This post will contain spoilers for Episode Three, so if you haven't played it yet, skip this journal for now!**Whew! What a week! I'm mentally exhausted, but I'm very pleased.I have never expected Leaving DNA to be very popular. In a genre that is almost fundamentally built on romance...

Special Render: Supergirl Emmeline

One more surprise, guys! I don't normally do this many special renders but I did want to make sure that all of my upper tier supporters got a thank you this month, so here's the final poll option from February. Unfortunately I don't have time to do any more renders of her right now but h...

Best Girl Poll (Episode Three)

Okay, Jamie ran away with the win for "Best Girl" after Episode Two, and the votes were split pretty evenly between the other three. Let's see if anyone has gained ground on ADA Carrington!This poll will run through the 6th and the winning LI will get a public special render!

Special Render: Bunny Girl Aghavni

Surprise! Although she only got second place, I decided to do Bunny Girl Aghavni anyway, on account of having just released the episode and having a little extra time. ☺️ 4K files are attached.

Special Render: Rollerblader Malena

Okay guys, this month was the most voting we've had for the special render, and Malena (8 votes) narrowly beat out Aghavni (6 votes) and Emmeline (5 votes) after accounting for tier weight. 4K files are attached! Reminder for all the new people that you can search the "special render" ta...

Poll for February Special Render

Alright guys, since Jamie won three special render polls this dev cycle and each of the other girls only won one, I'm going to leave Jamie out of this final poll. Plus, Jamie is probably going to win the best girl poll again for Episode Three and get another special render soon, so let's spr...

Developer's Journal 3:31

Hey everybody.I am in a strong position to release to all supporter tiers by the end of the month. The playtesters do have the update and should get back to me by next weekend. Meanwhile, I just have to (1) finish up the bonus scene including rendering the final animations (which will take several d...

Developer's Journal 3:30

Hey everybody.I spent this week reviewing and revising, plugging holes and branches, fixing little issues, etc. I still have a couple of scenes with about 85 renders left to pose, but the environments/lighting are already set up so it's not as bad as starting them from scratch. Once I finish tho...

Developer's Journal 3:29

Hey everybody. I am getting close to finishing my first draft of Episode Three. A few more easy-ish scenes to pose/render and then I'll work on revisions before sending it to the playtesters. The animation computer is still going full-time. I dare say that if Episode Three isn't done by the ...
