Time for open words.
It's time for a few words from my side and also to give you a little glimps behind the curtain.
First off thank you all for your support...
The first point I wanted to talk about is what's going on behind the curtain.
First I will tell you the bad things...
--- my privat life... ---
(without going too much in detail)
I'm going trough a breakup with my wife which is messing with my head much more than I would have ever thought.
And I'm going trough a hard time...
--- The Games ---
TL:
I'm on the next update but it's not running smooth.
4 out of 9 scenes are done... (too much to do on every side atm.)
So the next update will be delayed to 01.10.2026 (10/01/2026)
- But it will have 2 days again -
Music for TL
As a lot of you already heared and also shared your thoughts on it.
I think I make good progress and enjoyable Music at that point.
More for you to hear will come soon.
MG:
Zort has finished the script revisit and proofreading on the english side.
At the moment if there is some time left I'm prepairing it for the Steam release.
Which will happening also this year.
(Hopefully before the Winter Sale / Christmas sale in december)
There also has to be some music at the game at this point.
HsH:
The public demo / taste version is almost done (and it's big)
There also will be a Update version at the public release date for you guy's who decide to enter the HsH Vip tier.
---------------------------
But where some good news there are also some bad ones.
To get everything done within the next 6 - 8 month I will have to freeze the updates for TL and MG at this time period.
(Without the next TL update it will be released on point and with it's old glory)
I will hold you up to date as always
Monthly patrons renders -- will be released every month and back at the 05. every month.
Music to listen and comment -- will be shown as soon as ready for your ears.
But there is also a point which is hurting my stomach you guys...
If you want to stop the support for this time period please do, but your support is also urgently needed to get everything done in time without problems... (Paying for my monthly bills, buying daz assets and chars, buying needed Hard- and Software)
I already bought a 3rd render maschine with the first Steam payout, so on this side i'm taking some pressure out to handle the render times.
Thank you for your Help and your monthly support.
If you have questions please ask here or on our discord
Or just leave a comment about your thoughts.
Thank you very much for your time

We, most of us anyway, understand how real life can punch us in the gut. Stomp our toes and ruin our days. Do what you have to do. If it gets you through with your hair intact and your kibbles swinging free and not too badly bruised, we look forward to seeing TL and MG both update as soon as the "All Clear!" sounds. When you have someone who has been in your life for any significant time. Breaking that partnership up is truely devastating to most humans. To not be hurt, even a little bit, one would have to be a autotom, robot, machine. I am sure everyone here knows what that entails. Keep strong and lean on friends you can trust. The games you make are really worth continuing and we understand that real life has a habit of getting in the way. Again. We all have to do what we have to do to survive and move on. That is all you can do. Best wishes and remember there are many fans and supporters out here. Let's hear it for Blackthunder guyz!!!!
Moin, ich glaube jeder kann das verstehen, das es für dich eine schwere zeit ist. Mach es daher in deinen Tempo weiter und nimm dir die auszeit die du brauchst. Ich unterstütze dich zwar im moment nicht, weil es bei mir finanzielle gerade eine schwere zeit ist. Aber ich habe es in zukunft vor.
Well, if I understood what you said correctly, then aside from the v0.50 TL update, should we not expect any more updates on the TL and MG fronts this year? I obviously didn’t include the Steam release in that. I wish you perseverance and the best of luck for the rest of the year. As for me, my financial support will remain the same as it has been so far. I won’t comment on the music issue, because I’m very much against AI in that regard as well. But that’s my problem...
As hard as it sound's yeah, at the moment there is too much pressure to get the updates out on time and in a good quality (As I normaly stand for). Made a big mistake at the last MG update (almost the same scene on day10 and also 11) which should not have happened. Yeah AI music, a hard topic but at the moment the only payable for me. And even if the Beat and voices are done by AI it's a hard work to get them to sound like my songs do. If there is some more earned money hopefully at the near future I will be able to pay for real Artists to sing my songs. Thanks for your thoughts.
