Dev Log
Good time of day, my dear ones,
I’m writing to update you on the current situation, what’s going on and where the release is.
The release itself is ready, and the update works overall, but after upgrading my PC, learning a few new things, and improving my skills in general, I decided to bring some of my ideas to life and fix several issues in the game along the way.
Right now, I’m focused on cleaning up the text and adding more content. At the same time, I’m improving the scale of the renders and fixing the pacing.
The result? In the prologue, I removed unnecessary filler and added more meaningful content. What did that lead to? minus 6,000 words, +110 renders. Testing is already done, and overall everything feels much better.
Currently, I’m working on version 0.1, from the protagonist’s awakening up to the meeting with Kalestra. I removed filler from the beginning, shifted the focus to more important elements, and have already added around 500 renders in the right places.
I’m also improving the relationships between characters, while giving our protagonist more intelligence and presence, because why not?
Another rework? No. Just refinements. The core structure of the story remains the same, but the narrative itself will become clearer.
Originally, I planned to finish this week, but I still need to complete 0.1 and review 0.2.
For those who don’t want to replay or if saves get broken, I’ll provide codes to unlock content so you can jump straight to the latest update.
As for C.S., it’s currently on hold, the text is about halfway done, and the renders are at the same stage.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I’m learning and making the story better overall.
Peace and all the best, now back to work.

Refresh my memory, what's C.S.? *scrolls WAY down the posts* Oh, yeah, Clown Squad. Please consider referring to it by its full name at least once in each post before going to its initials, for those of us who are following too many game creators.
I just finished playing and man, what an incredible game! You're to be congratulated, my friend. I'm anxious to play more and now I know the update is coming soon, which makes me happy. I'll be supporting it because I really liked this game. It reminds me of Eternum and honestly, I'm happy to follow this. I'll be waiting anxiously here (please let me have a relationship with Kalestra, she's really one of the best... cute and fun, not just sex but a progression of the relationship). Your game is incredible, congratulations!
glad someone else feels it like i do. the entire atmosphere is serious and bingeable like a good movie. ive already replayed it 4 times. is this next release only content we will see if we replay the game again or is there path progress mixed in as well?
Great work dev! 🙂↕️ But is there any tentative release date...? 👀
Next week, for sure. I'll release whatever's ready for a public test, anyone who wants to, can give it a try.
Aight Champ.
