Devlog #1- Progress on Day 3
Hello! So, I think I would like to try making Devlogs about 2 times a month. It's kinda nice to have some company while I make Day 3 instead of the flood of reactions from releasing a whole day at once :> I'm excited and nervous whenever releasing new stuff and I hope doing it this way will be a good balance for myself while getting some feedback. I won't be spoiling anything too much though!
Patreon
The decision to make a patreon was made after long deliberation after deciding that Day 3 was finally the time in the story where I could insert an optional NSFW scene. I freaked out briefly about what that meant for the game and how to do my due diligence with releasing it appropriately. And I think having a R18+ patch on here would be a good plan. For now. If not, there will be a PG13 getting steamy time and then a fade to black for the public version lmao. Then, an early release here for the game will also be nice since I'll get some feedback from supporters before it's out in the public! I've had a lot to learn with using Patreon, but I'm optimistic!
On to the progress of Chilling Devotion!
This month has been busy with getting back into game development and remembering how to do...well, everything again T.T But it's safe to say, I'm falling back in love with game development and Jim haha. For actual game development, I've finally put down the bare choices and flow of Day 3. I included a lil- mostly blurred- screenshot for those interested. I hope it's not tooooo spoilery. I have known pretty much for the last year what I wanted out of Day 3, but it was such a relief just to get it down and not just bouncing around in my head. Twine has been a great help since I have all those variables from Day 1 and 2 to keep in mind. Things are gonna ramp up a lot more compared to the previous days, so that's nerve-wracking.
This week, I also updated Opferfleisch's band logo and the graphic on the back of the shirt...I'm so embarrassed seeing the old one lol but it is really cool seeing how much I've improved! I'll be posting the png of the new one a bit later so that ppl don't keep using the old dookie one anymore. Really fun getting that "band look" though.
Yup. So other than doing cute/fun stuff for patreon- NSFW, lore comics, and devlogs- I'll just be putting my nose to the grindstone and writing this thing into existence. Writing is 100% what takes me the longest to do, especially with all those branching choices... unless the spirit of Shakespeare possesses me and prose just flows out of me, but that seems unlikely. Sigh, I'll just have to get over it. Wish me luck!

I'm curious, what do you use to make these charts? i have been wondering about it in case i ever start my own visual novel.
Its called twine and its free online :>
I would be very happy for the nswf scene, I love this game alot, and I love supporting you and seeing updates, but remember! Take breaks if you need to
You're gonna do amazing no matter how it turns. I can't wait to know the lore of this game.
It's so exciting seeing the progress of the game! Peeking at those top choices that aren't blurred like: 👀. The new band name design is so cool, love the skeleton crawling out!
i love seeing the progress of your work
I was so excited when I checked your page recently and caught the pattern right as you were opening it, I have friends where we talk about game dev and get excited about the processes like this too. its fun to be able to see content im excited about doin it too Was too shy to post in support on the NSFW pic at the time of posting but reading here more about your thought process wanted to finally chime in and say I thought the piece was so successful, your work is so pretty always from what I've seen. Anyway! Love your story so far, eager to see where you go : ) love the new band shirt piece, wicked stuff
