Happy New Year🥳 Last post for this year! 😊
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 14:27:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
this is the last post for this year! Time flies...
I will keep it short since I caught the flu with a rather high fever and should really get back to bed ASAP.
Most importantly: Thank you for your amazing and ongoing support! 🥰💕Without you we couldn´t do it and we are very happy to have you! Thank you so so much! 😘💕🥰
2023:
2023 was rough in many aspects:
- Increasing global inflation and people having less and less money.
- Renovation of the house. Costs & Stress! It's still not all done, but I would say 95%, the rest should be peanuts. Famous last words... 😋
- Team Changes with hiccups. My oldest coder friend leaving, another trial one had to be fired, delays in the development of the cumshot system... But we got a really good new Junior Coder!
- And 1000 other things 🤪
But we also had some good stuff going on!
- My baby son was born healthy 🥰 Both he and my wife/his mum survived! That is not a given and I thank god everything went fine after a 16h nightmare...
- The house is almost done so there is no fungus, wet walls, collapsing walls, etc. any more. That does indeed ease my mind a bit
- We had a big PoseViewer Update. And I hope we can have the final one ASAP next year
- We released Episode 8 and Episode 9!
- The new (Junior) Coder is a Wunderkind and does amazing work!
- We started the new Game "Treasure Island", did a lot of foundational work, and quickly increased the pace of improvements & prototyping. This will be even better next year. Because most of the foundation is done and that makes everything easier. So you will have a lot to play around with 😊
- We released the first proof of concept for Treasure Island!
2024:
A brief summary of our plans for 2024:
- Finally, wrap up PoseViewer!
- We will look into an Android Port for PoseViewer. If it´s doable in a reasonable time span and does not take too many resources from other Projects, we will give it a shot.
- We will look into a VR Version for PoseViewer. Again, if it´s doable in a reasonable period, we will do it.
- Keep developing Treasure Island. This is not a short-term project so it definitely won´t be done next year. But we will have a lot of builds for you to play around with, collect feedback & input, and try to implement it as well as possible. The next step will actually be optimizing, creating development builds (for crash logs), and making the first playable as bug-free and performant as possible.
- Create a proof of concept Visual Novel and see how you (and we also of course) like it.
- Create Mini-Episodes or/and a combination with the Visual Novels. I so want to do Alexandra in the Gym and Brittany&Trinity with a Motorbike 😊
- Finally, finish Trinity's interview! (I am still waiting for the final script...)
- We will get a script for Episode 10 done and start production. I can't promise a release in 2024 though!
- Increase Patreon Members and sales on Steam: Episode 7,8,9 did not cover the production costs and the sales numbers quickly declined after the release. The only thing that keeps us floating is your support (again, thank you so much!). So we need to focus more on things that make more money and that´s Games. That´s why the priority is first Games then Episodes. I also have high hopes for Visual Novels because they are platform-independent (Android also!) and will hopefully sell. I just want to be clear about that so you are not left wondering!
Alright, that´s roughly it! I will head back to bed now!
Again, thank you so so much for your amazing and ongoing support! 🥰🥰🥰
All the very best, Happy New Year, stay safe and healthy 💪🥰

PS: If you have an idea for proper (and not too costly, money is tight) hosting of new Game-Builds, please let me know! I just paid 10$ for Mega, but it seems people still have a 5GB limitation...

Now that you mention it I checked it and it seems great! Thanks a lot, I will definitely give it a try for the next build that I share!

Have you looked into Gofile for file hosting? Looks like they don't have a daily limit but I just did a quick look.
