Corporate Development Memo 11/2/2026

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

Where we live, it's pretty nuts with people from around the world wandering the streets in a nice area so it was a lot of fun!

My costume this year was Lara Croft and I think I pulled it off pretty well! My husband was John Wick and there were some other cool costumes in our grou too!

This is a PUBLIC post so trying to be careful about images -- if any seem off please let me know as I try and make sure not to show adult stuff.

Overall Situation:

120 renders last week done, new total is 4336 renders, 254 animations. (I expect to use roughly 65-75 of these in the final update as a true total)

I am taking this week to do a 30,000 foot playtest and review period. I wanted to finish a very large sub scene that was a good 150-200 renders so I did finish that this past week. After that, I really need a short render break so I can organize and plan how to finish the update.

I consider 5,000 renders a pretty hard cap of what I won't go past so after this week, I am going finalize scene by scene the last ones I work on before a release. My big fear of not quite being able to finish the outline I started with is looking like a reality but this time I will not abandon scenes like I did last update. I will simply save them for a future update. (My biggest regret from the last update was abandoning two specific scenes I will never end up doing)

Also, I am helping Anais just writing The Quantum Academy. I am coordinating with her to try and be fair to her but this is my first priority.

Her site is: Patreon.com/thequantumacademy

She will be doing a public post there in the next day or two and kind of return the favor with my own pictures here as secondary to her own public pictures with her version of the same information overall.

She is also getting close to releasing a 0.1 version/prologue. So we met this weekend and figured out some things:

I will aim on releasing Test Version 8.32 with an attempt to deliver it by Christmas. It will not contain every single final thing (I usually leave out animations in the Test Version also because some test tier players like having an animation free version existing) but generally 95 percent of scenes and music, etc.

During this period between the release of the Test Version and Final Version, she will attempt to release a Test Version of TQA Version 0.1. This is my best time to write last stuff while I edit KG.

Then I will try and release KG Final Version hopefully within usually 2-3 weeks of the Test Version which will include everything and sometimes there is a small update a week after with final tweaks which is kind of Final 2 version which is my intended end to working on the update. Please note that I always recommend you try and do a clean save on the last version available but it's usually ok to save under the Test Version -- it's just generally good advice I think in case I changed a choice flag or something.

Pictures above:

The first set are all from KG and it is VERY hard to find sub pictures for a public post because Kane is generally err exposed almost all the time. So you may notice a bit more dom Kane pics just because he is clothed a bit more.

The first wormhole pic signifies some TQA pics for 0.1.

There is also a zip file I attaching here for her. It has: 1) a few more pics and 2) a short lore dump document but please note it has some minor spoilers for ONE specific end of KG that will be one version of "history" in her game. So be aware of that if you download that zip.

So this week I am kind of staying off my main PCs and just going to play the game on my laptop and take written notes and maybe near the end of the week see where I am overall.

It's been an incredible year -- I thought our first year married together would be amazing but I didn't expect it to be this good. We're waiting on his clearance for a business opportunity but I'm free and clear already quick and fast so kind of lording it over him a bit :)

Steam:

Last subject - I have not been in a rush to do this because I honestly am doing well overall in other business stuff and don't feel a pressing need to tackle this too hard just to make money but I have been on it and am close to ready. While Itch has not been as good lately with what happened to the site, the game has overall sold surprisingly well there.

There will be the following structure:

1) Karlsson's Gambit Season 1 - Episodes 1-7 (roughly 13-14k renders forgot exact count)

This will come out first and include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese, and Russian languages.

2) A later FREE DLC version of the game will come out that will include more features and hopefully languages but there will be no charge for this at all if you got the game already.

3) Karlsson's Gambit Dragon Version - a short standalone game that will initially be in only Chinese (the reason for this is because the person I made it for asked for that at first and I am honoring that request) It is not critical to the overall story but rather background about the characters Callista, Cole, Alexander, Cynthia, and Elena as friends early on when the Karlsson Group was formed (btw it was formed under a different name at first) There are also about 5-6 scenes with younger Kane, Olivia, Kiyomi, Katsumi, Astrid, and Veronica more or less. Again, these have no adult content or really have any necessity to the overall story but they exist already but I need to split them out to their own short mini game so to speak.

4) Mercy's K1 Diaries - I may talk more about this later as I'm sure what I want to do but for now I won't for reasons that are very logical and obvious once I do.

5) Karlsson's Gambit Season 2 - Episode 8 (all of 8.3 through entire end of games portion which I think will end up a bit longer than Season 1)

I will work on these if Steam does ok (anything close to Itch is way more than enough to pay for translators.) I used Itch revenue to pay translators for this first version done, kind of trying to avoid pure AI type translation.

I know this is a novel at this point but I wanted to try and put this all together while it's fresh in my mind. Sorry for the wall of text.

Remember I have an attachment if that interests you about her game and a bit of KG lore too. (but take heed of the warning too)

Please have a wonderful week!

Love,

Tess
