Last behind-the-scenes post for Ethereal Sunder!
Hello everyone,
As the title says, this will be the last behind-the-scenes post for Ethereal Sunder. I’ll touch more on what will happen with these posts at the end, but for now, let's focus on the game.
Build 1.0 adds the conclusion of Eilayda’s search for the origin resin and her return to her forest. There is nothing I can say here without spoiling the story, so I’ll move straight to the two new erotic scenes of this last build that are included in the available endings.
The first erotic scene is a bit tame when we compare it to scenes that have been added in the last few builds. This scene is shown after completing the game with lewd level 2, and in it, we will see signs of sexual development in a still ignorant Eilayda.
The other erotic scene is a whole new level of spicy when compared with the first one, with a focus on morals completely corrupted. This scene is shown after completing the game with lewd level 3, and it involves a very horny Eilayda having some…affairs with a group of gentlemen. Also, there are two variants for this ending, one for a non-virgin and a virgin Eilayda, respectively.
By the way, if you are playing a safe route or have missed some erotic events, don’t worry, after you complete the story, you will have the choice to move to the recollection room with all the erotic scenes unlocked.
Finally, to everyone who has been supporting Ethereal Sunder so far, InCloud (the artist of the game) and I have prepared a small “Thank you gift”, which consists of a few images and sketches showing some ideas we had during early development. This gift will be included in the .zip file that has Version 1.0 of the game.
About Behind-the-Scenes Posts Moving Forward
Now, about these behind-the-scenes posts, I’m sure you're wondering if I’ll continue doing them for my second game project, and — after much thought — I have decided to stop making them.
You see, while working on Ethereal Sunder, there were plenty of times I wanted to share in X or Discord what I was working on: new skills, maps, scenes, bug fixes, and all kinds of little updates. But since that kind of content was exclusive to Tier 3 members, I had to hold back.
It kind of felt like when you’re really excited to talk about something with anyone, but can’t because it’s a secret or under NDA. That’s how it was for me sometimes.
That said, I know this setup was my own choice, so if there is anyone I had to blame for feeling like this, it's me, but now that Ethereal Sunder is almost complete, and I’ve delivered on what I promised for behind-the-scenes content, I’d like to approach things differently from now on.
Starting next month, I’ll be sharing development updates for my second project periodically on my X account. This way, everyone interested in the game can stay informed about its progress.
So, to sum it up: Tier 3 will no longer include behind-the-scenes posts. It’ll still offer early access, making it basically a more expensive version of Tier 2. However, I’m not planning to close the tier, so if any of you (or anyone new) still want to support the development of my games with $10, you can, and it’s deeply appreciated.
And that is all for this behind-the-scenes post. I know this was more of an announcement than a behind-the-scenes update, but since we're at the end of development, there wasn't much to share that I haven't shared already.
Anyway, thank you for supporting me and helping me create Ethereal Sunder. You folks are awesome! Version 1 of the game will be sent to you by DM next week on Friday, July 4th.
