Important news, Shadow Island R12 and more.
🕑 Added 2024-09-23 14:15:02 +0000 UTCI wanted to share some important updates and talk about where things are at right now.
Divimera R12 is coming along well, but I’ve been feeling like releasing it without some H-scenes would probably be disappointing. We’ve decided to include a few segments that were originally planned for R13. This means adding an H-scene with Charlotte, plus a special scene with Lady Hale, depending on whether you’re on the submissive or assertive route. On top of that, there’ll be some extra story moments to properly finish off Day 7.
Most of this stuff is already planned out and, in some cases, even coded. But the thing is, R12 is turning out to be really demanding on the art side. H-scenes, as you can imagine, take a ton of time, not just drawing them, but coding them too. I’m a disappointed in myself, but at this point, I’ve accepted that the original October deadline was well, a bit unrealistic. More on that...
This is something that’s been weighing on me a bit, I’m in the middle of preparing for a big move to another country. It’s quite far away, and there’s a lot of travel prep, paperwork, and then figuring out housing when I get there. I’ve tried to stay ahead on development so this doesn’t impact things too much, but to be honest, it is affecting the deadline. The move will happen between November and December, and I’ll be making a few trips back and forth during that time. With everything going on, I just can’t see myself launching R12 in the middle of all this, especially with how much polish and testing it still needs.
I've come to the conclusion the best thing to do is to push the R12 update to January. This way, the update will be somehow more complete, and I won’t be constantly stressing about juggling the move and the release at the same time. I’m really sorry for the delay, but I think this will make for a better update in the end.
That said, progress on R12 itself has been steady. We’re working hard to make this exploration segment feel more alive than the last one, with some new situations and things to interact with. Basically, I don’t want it to be just clicking around with nothing happening. I posted a few new WIP previews if you want to check them out.
As for the H-scenes planned:
- A kiss scene with Charlotte that leads to mutual masturbation.
- For Lady Hale, the MC can either pledge allegiance, for the assertive route: with a traditional allegiance kiss. For the submissive route: by kissing her feet.
After this version, we’ll be focusing on Day 8, which is shaping up to be one of the most NSFW-heavy days in the game so far. I really don’t think it’ll disappoint, and it’s going to be a big peak for NSFW content compared to previous days.
Honestly, the end of 2024 has been stressful, but I’m looking ahead to 2025 with some renewed energy. After this rough patch, I’m planning to bring Fall of Juliet to Steam, get early access rolling for Divimera, and a lot more. We aren't going anywhere, but it's a long journey.
And lastly, I just really want to say thank you for all your support. It means a lot to me, and I really can't thank you for your patience during this difficult era.
