Dev Update! 4/24
Hey, friends! Happy Monday, it's time for another dev update!
First of all, big-big thanks and welcome to all the new subscribers, as well as people following the page. Happy to have you folks here! The support for the new update's absolutely blown me away, and has really filled me with fresh enthusiasm for development of the game.
On that note, I'm officially rolling through the rendering process for the next installment. At present, I've got 50+ images completed for Viola's event, which is roughly half of the first 'act' of the next installment. So, so far so good! By the end of this week I plan to be well into rendering Ashe's date at MC's condo.
On the writing end of things, I'm continuing to flesh out Ashe's date, combining some of the disparate pieces of it together into one cogent whole. Still a little work to do on that end, but as long as I can stay ahead of the speed I'm rendering at, I should be all set.
Other cool stuff: BlackhandGames, the creator of Detective Necro, has kindly sent me the code they use for named saves, and given me their permission to use it in FiN. So, I'll be working on getting that integrated into the game ASAP. It's been a much-requested feature for a while now. Go give Blackhand some love and download Detective Necro. I'll admit I haven't had time to play it lately, but I loved what I saw from the early chapters. It's basically a world where mythic creatures and magic survived into the modern day -- and then get freaky with you!
I mean, beefy orc ladies! Sexy dark elves! What's not to love?
Also, a fan built a demo of something really cool, that I look forward to experimenting with. Basically it's a gallery and character profile system, allowing you to easily reference where you stand with each girl, as well as replay some of their naughty scenes. I haven't actually gotten to play with it yet, but the screens he sent me look very promising.
I don't know how quickly I'll be able to implement it, as I'd want to make sure it's visually consistent with the rest of FiN's GUI, but I think if I can get it in there it'll be really awesome.
Man, I really have the best players. You folks rock!
Oh! And one last bit of news - I've started a SubscribeStar, but it's currently pretty barebones, so I won't link to it at this time. But, I'll be putting the public update over there this weekend, and begin regularly updating it at the same time as the Patreon here. And once I've finished redoing Chapter One, and cleaning up all the code, I still plan to launch an Itchio.
Alright, I think that's it for today! Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this most recent update of FiN such a huge success.
The $2 tier will gain access to the update this Tuesday, and the public version will become available on Friday.
As always, please take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

As someone doing all paths available every update I appreciate you adding named saves!
Should not today the 2$ Patreons get the Update?
Technically I kind of screwed up, and should’ve said it releases on Wednesday.. But, I’m going to release it around noon CST today! About four hours from now.
This all sounds very good. The only thing that has me nervous is that I don't remember you mentioning whether things are going to progress at all with Gabby. I'm on tenterhooks after her last text.
You’ll get a little progress in the newest update, and a bit of catharsis in the next one that’ll give you a good idea of where your relationship is going. But, Chapter 5 is going to be a big, big update for Gabby, with her events as the centerpiece of the whole update.
Been following this game for a good while and finally figured it was time to give some support. This has quickly become my favorite powertrip kind of AVN, keep up the amazing work my dude!!
Thank you! 🙏
I really hope named saves will have a toggle off feature, it’s always a hassle clicking around the naming feature every time I try to save 😭
I’ll do what I can! 🫡✨
