World of Secrets: Development Update #29

Greetings, Seekers of Secrets,

We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the release of World of Secrets, and we want to be fully transparent about what’s been happening behind the scenes.

While testing was successfully completed, we ran into unexpected hardware issues during the rendering process. Over the past two days, our main rendering system suffered from repeated blue screen crashes, system errors, and DAZ Studio failures, severely delaying progress. Despite formatting the system and replacing the SSD, the issues persisted. In an effort to ensure a more stable experience, we decided to roll back to Windows 10, as Windows 11 continued to cause blue screen errors even after a fresh installation. Considering that this was a dedicated rendering machine with no prior issues, these sudden failures were both frustrating and unexpected.

Thankfully, after extensive troubleshooting, we have resolved the issue and restarted the rendering process. Everything is now running smoothly, and we’re pushing forward to complete the final renders as quickly as possible!

As of now, around 70 renders and 2 animation remain, and the only thing holding us back from release is waiting for these to be completed and integrated into the game. Given the unpredictability of rendering speeds, we can’t provide an exact release time, but we want to assure you that it won’t be pushed past February 12 at the latest—it could be ready as soon as February 8 or 9.

Although this is not a content expansion, we’ve taken the opportunity to enhance the pacing of World of Secrets by adding new scenes. Instead of solely introducing content for later in the story, we’ve filled in the gaps between existing moments, making the flow much more natural. Some future events have been adjusted and brought forward, allowing certain story elements to unfold earlier than originally planned. This ensures a more immersive and complete experience, while keeping the overall progression intact.

Here is just one of the new scenes added to the game.

We appreciate your patience and support throughout this process. As soon as the final renders are done, we’ll release World of Secrets immediately.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
