What's up, everyone? It's been a while, huh? First off, sorry for the silence. Things have been rough lately, not just for me, but for a lot of AVN devs out there. In case you haven't heard, a recent internet activism group based in Australia has been making headlines. They managed to get a bunch of

Hey everyone! I’m doing fine and hope you’re all doing well too! So, as you may have noticed, the last update (1.01.05) wrapped up the Back to the Countryside part of the story. I know it ended in a weird way—but trust me, it had to be like that. Right now, I’m working on the next “episode” (if you

What's up, people? Been a while, huh? I want to start this post by apologizing for the near radio silence over the past two months. After releasing 1.01.04 in December, I took a small break to handle some real life issues, and that break ended up being longer than expected so I could sort everything

What's up, everyone? A lot has happened since the last Devlog on November 1st. I’ve completed all the dialogue for the update, storyboarded the entire thing, and finished about 80% of the required scenes. As mentioned in the previous Devlog, this update features three locations: a church, the villag

What's up, people? October was a very busy month for The Inn's development. Most of it was spent porting new assets to create environments. This update includes three new environments, a record number for a single update. If you know me, you know I don’t settle for basic assets. I always want to spr

What's up folks? The first half of september was spent mainly on scene work. I was able to finish the Linda's farm segment for the update and, with that all the content I had written so far. As I still don't feel like there's enough content to really justify a release, I'm going back to writting tod

What's up everyone? A lot has happened since the last devlog, so let's get it going! I'm finally settled in the new place and got back to my usual work schedule. Moving isn't easy, especially when you're married, so I'm glad that's over with and I can fully focus on development again. The last two w

What's up people? So, addressing the elephant in the room, you may have noticed that last month went by with no devlog at all. The main reason for it is that I got very busy preparing everything to move to a new house. Between preparing stuff, boxing, cleaning the new place and then dealing with all

What's up everyone? Time for another Devlog! The first half of June has been spent mostly on scene work. Remember that in the last devlog I said I had written way more than I would use? So yeah... There's a lot of scenes to make. I'm almost finished with them though, there's only a couple of animati

What's up everyone? So yeah... Devlog, not a release as was planned. As I talked about in the last devlog I was struggling with a creativity block for a while. God news is that I'm finally over it! I was able to write a good chunk of dialogue for this update, I think I actually wrote way more than I

What's up people? The second part of april's been great for The Inn development! After the previous Devlog, the new PC parts I ordered arrived and I had to spend some time installing them and getting the PC up and running fine again. This is the first of a 2 parts upgrade I'm doing on my current equ

What's up everyone? April's has been a very busy month (as it's always been) for The Inn's development. I managed to finish scenes up to a part where I'll need to do some screen work, so I'll process those today and start working on the screens. I should be done with this before wednesday, then it's

What's up people? The second half of March went as I expected regarding The Inn's development. I was able to finish all the scenes I needed for the update and, as of the writing of this post, the only thing left to do before release is adding songs and sfx to the game, which I'll be doing today. So

What's up people? So, march has been a productive month so far. I was able to make good progress on the scene work for the first release of Chapter 2! The scenes have been pretty cozy so far, with Mike getting back to Linda's house and reconnecting with her. I'm hoping to get a bit more content done

What's up people? Continue from where I left off on the last Devlog, I was able to finish every asset for the base game. After some testing and tyring to break it somehow, I managed to find some issues with the new GameTime system and had to allocate some time to fix them. I'll have to say, the new

What's up everyone? Today's devlog is going to be brief so let's get it on. Since the last devlog I was able to finish everything needed for Linda's house. All rooms are finished and I made 5 different light setups, one for every period (morning, day, afternoon, evening and night) for each of the ro

What's up people? Since I posted the previous devlog back on the 15th I have made some substantial progress on getting everything ready for the real meat of the update. I have managed to port all the assets I need (over 1500 assets!) and recreated Linda's house's interior from scratch using them. Re

What's up people? How are you enjoying the first half month of 2024? I've been extremely busy with the development of chapter 2 since january 2nd! As I'm still in the very early stages of it, the work tends to be very monotonous and boring, so I'm kind of powering through it so I can get to the good

What's up everyone? Development of the next BETA is comming along smoothly! I finished all the scene work needed for it this week and now I'm moving to the next development step, which is adding music and SFX to the scenes. In total this BETA has 692 renders and 9 animations. I'm calling it a BETA m

What's up everyone? December won't have a BETA release due to the update I'm currently working on consisting of only one long event that will close chapter 1. I pretty much spent the second half of November working solely on creating renders and porting assets to use on them, so there's not much to

What's up everyone? Working on 0.09.02 has going on smoothly so far! This BETA will feature one lengthy event that will close Chapter 1's storyline and set things up for Chapter 2. And, boy... Is it lengthy? There's a lot of dialogue and a lot of images! We're halfway through November and I'm not ev

What's up everyone? October's been busy as hell with development for me. I've managed to finish pretty much all the events for 0.09.01 with only half of the assets needed for the last event left, which will leave me with plenty of time to work on the other aspects of the BETA, like the translation,

What's up people? September has been a rough month for me, if I'm to be honest. I'm having some pretty bad creative blocks since the start of the month. The ideas can't seem to come as easy as they normally do and, when they do, I have a hard time focusing on what I have to do. But regardless of tha

What's up everyone? August has been fine so far as I'm working on the full release of Luana's update. Trimming the issues, fixing the bugs and correcting typos has been a pretty no-brainer. Fortunately, that's not all the Full Update is about. Here's some of the features and improvements I've alread

What's up everyone? July has been a very busy month for The Inn's development. As BETA 8 is the last BETA on Luana's update, I have a lot to finish and a lot of loose ends to close. Depending on your choices during playthrough you'll be able to play a different number of events: 1 event by default 1

What's up people? So far this month has been pretty busy for me regarding the next BETA's development. As I started creating the scenes for it, I realized the treehouse prop I was using wasn't the best one and would give me some huge headaches down the line. So I had to learn a thing or two in blend

What's up people? So far may has been a pretty boring month development-wise. As we're moving into the last BETAs for Luana's udpate, all the events from now on will be more focused on dialogue and Luana's plot progression. For this BETA I'm working on two new events that will give a bit more insigh

What's up people? April's been a pretty good month so far regarding The Inn's development. I was able to pretty much finish all the images I needed for this BETA and that'll leave me with pretty much half a month to properly finish the other part of it. In the last Devlog post I talked about how I w

What's up everyone? March has been a pretty busy month for The Inn so far! I managed to finish the events that were going to be released last month and I'm well underway on the new events! As we had to skip a release in february, the next release will have 4 new events, 2 from february and 2 from ma

What's up people? We're finally in february, huh? It felt like january would never end. So far the month's been pretty busy for me, this scene I'm working on proved to be more work than I had anticipated (but that's kind of normal for me, right?) I wanted a small, simple and cozy cafe environment fo

What's up people? How's the new year been treating you all? I've been working at a pretty steady pace on BETA 3. If you have played BETA 2 you will remember that we got to a part where Mike would roam around the school looking at various places and people while Luana is in class. So yeah, I have bee

What's up everyone? I hope you're all well and nice! This month's devlog will feel more like a talk then a real technical talk to be honest. This month has been... Interesting to say the least for me. I don't know if it's the approaching holidays or that "end of year dread", but I've been having con

What's up people? I hope you're having an amazing month so far! This month's devlog will be briefer than others as there isn't much technical stuff to talk about. The first week of november was spent mostly fixing small bugs that were reported after 0.07 Full release. I'm very happy with how 0.07 tu

What's up everyone? I hope you're all having an amazing month so far! I've been really busy working on the game so far (and I said I would take it easy this month...) I have been prepping up 0.07 to full release next month and there's a lot of stuff to polish, fix and update in it! So far I have wor

What's up people? I hope you're having an amazing month so far! I know I'm having one! Really busy with the next BETA but also having lots of fun with it! This BETA will be the last content update for Joana's day, that means we're finishing Joana's day in this BETA! We're getting there and we're doi

What's up everyone? I hope you're having an amazing day! Anyway, this month's devlog won't be long like previous ones. As we enter the finishing events for Joana's update, not much is left to do besides dialogues and scenes. I hope to finish at least the restaurant event before the end of the month

What's up everyone? I hope you're having a great day! So, let's get down to business... The first half of july was pretty much all spent finishing the lunch event for Joana's day and finishing the Spa portion of her update! The Lunch event is pretty short, mostly because we'll have a dinner event so

What's up everyone? In this month's devlog we'll talk about what has been worked so far for BETA 6! This update will have one medium lenght event continuing the "adventures" of Mike and Joana at the spa. It involves a massage session and a lot (and I mean A LOT) of information dump from Joana. You m
