Weekly Development Update A quick one this week! I’ve now finished the latest section of Episode 3, including all of the renders and animation that go with it. I’ve spent quite a bit of time improving the visuals recently — particularly the lighting, framing and overall look of the renders — and I’m

A bit more visible progress this week. Although some has been slowed as I had to take my daughter to hospital.... I’ve finished another scene for Episode 3, and I’ve also built the new fitness area that’ll be used for the next section of the episode. The room is basically done now, so I’ve moved ont

A quick Episode 3 update. I lost a couple of weeks recently to being ill and generally not being at my best, so progress slowed down more than I’d planned. I’m properly back into production now though, and things are moving again. The new crew lounge is finished, along with a full scene featuring Mi

I’ve been building a new crew lounge/common room for the Vanguard, mainly for one of Michaela’s early Episode 3 scenes. I wanted somewhere that felt a bit more relaxed than the bridge or engineering, but still like it belongs on an old working sleeper ship rather than a luxury space hotel. This is a

Hey everyone, Quick update on progress this week. I’ve spent a good chunk of time working on character polish and consistency, especially on Michaela. I’ve been testing different skin/material setups, HDRI lighting, makeup, brows, and hair options to make the cast look more lifelike while still keep

I’ve had a fair amount of feedback since Episode 2 released, both positive and critical, and I’ve been thinking about which parts of it are actually useful for improving the game. I’m not changing The Stowaway into a different kind of game. The darker sci-fi tone, mystery, characters, choices and on

The Beta release of the next part of The Stowaway Aboard the Vanguard is here... Finally! It is a Beta so any bugs let me know, but there should be none, hopefully! 1.66 GB folder on MEGA (Mega)

A still from an animation for the next episode! No more spoilers hahaha

I was aiming to release Episode 2 this week, but unfortunately my PC has decided to put me through one of the most ridiculous runs of hardware problems I’ve ever experienced. After multiple motherboard and graphics-card issues, I’ve spent far too much of this week rebuilding, troubleshooting and tes

Quick update on the next update, things are moving along really well. I’ve spent a good chunk of this week working through one of the more render-heavy sections of Episode 2, as well as finishing off some of the animation work and tightening up the dialogue and character interactions. The episode is

Episode 2 has moved forward a lot this week and is now roughly 65–70% complete overall. The biggest milestone was finishing the full render set for an important Michaela-focused section. That scene is now much more visually complete, with stronger reaction shots, close-ups and body language to help

Work on Episode 2 has moved forward nicely this week. The episode is now roughly 60–65% complete overall. Current progress: Writing / structure: around 75% complete The main episode structure is now in place, with the key scenes planned and the tone feeling much closer to what I wanted. Renders: aro

This week has been a little slower than I’d hoped, so I don’t have a huge batch of new content to show. I have still made some useful progress behind the scenes, though. Most of my time went into improving the production workflow for Episode 2. I now have a much more reliable system for importing th

Episode 2 Development Update Work has officially begun on Episode 2 of The Stowaway Aboard the Vanguard. The main story direction is now established, several key scenes are planned, and I’ve started preparing the environments, poses and reusable character setups that should make production much smoo

The Stowaway is a choice driven adult visual novel set aboard the HMS Vanguard, a generational ark built to escape a dying Earth. You play as the only male on a ship commanded by women who do not believe in second chances. Survival means proving your worth. Proving your worth means navigating a hier

And some debugging, which shouldn't take long as I have been debugging along the way.

I’ve now finished the title screen, which is the image attached to this post. Progress on the first release has also moved on a lot over the last few days. The renders are nearly complete for three of the five main scenes, including the cryo opening, bridge sequence and medical section. That leaves

Ive been working really hard to get this release out. The in me perfectionist in me has been very brutal and pretty much all my free time has been spent on this game... ADHD hyper focus is great but I haven't spent any time on or stuff. But if anyone has any outfits they'd like to see the characters

Happy with this now! I think most of the main characters are in Blender and ready to to go!

Very much a work in progress

Thanks for all the support, all of you. Blender is a fucking nightmare but the end result is amazing. Hopefully with a bit of practice I can get quicker with it.

Still some work to do on this scene

Hi guys, really sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been mad busy at work and had some issues with my setup. Anyway, I was not happy with the game as it was before so I've spent a lot of time rewriting it, learning how to use Blender and purchasing assets. Here's what ive been up to recently. M

So, I've got comfortable enough to work on the new renders for the new release!

I think the next bunch of scenes are going to look really good! If anyone has any suggestions of what they would like to see in the next release let me know!

OK, so first of all apologies that I have been quiet. My 3090 decided to die at the beginning of this month and I couldn't afford to replace it. As a consequence I ended up snapping up a cheap 7900 XTX... Those dont render in Daz so I have been experimenting with Blender. As you can see I have a lit

Big thanks to the bug testers! 2.87 GB folder on MEGA (Mega)

Or would you like to see it removed and the game simplied?

Would any of you be interested in being the official play testers? Releases available one week before full release? Inbox me or comment if you are interested.

Here's the new release. Much more to come in the following weeks. The rest is pretty much done but I need to tweak a few bits there first! But I thought it'd been way to long since a release! 2.58 GB folder on MEGA (Mega)

The update will be done soon!

Teaser pics from the next release

I appreciate I have been away for a while. My son has been in hospital so my creative mind has been AWOL, I've also had some personal and work related issues. But, watch this space.

This is the definitive first release, I,E bugs fixed, images shrunk to improve the responsiveness of the game, animations fixed and much more. The update is to follow very soon! But this is worth a replay for the smoother experience, enjoy! 1.79 GB folder on MEGA (Mega)

Quick update, I've done all the fixes everyone recommended, fixed all the bugs (I think) and I've re-done the early (bad) spanking animations. I'm currently working on the renders. I'd say the code for the next update is a good 80% or so done and the renders are progressing nicely! Cheers all!

The bugfixes are now complete and the story outline and dialogue is mostly done, I just need to do the renders and tidy up the story!
