Chapter 9 weekly status report (1)
Hello everybody! I've been a bit disconnected these past few days, but work never stops. Chapter 8 is finally wrapped up and I've already started work on Chapter 9.
Right now I'm in the early stages, structuring the plot and deciding which scenes to develop, choosing the reference images and building the internal structure (story beats, poses, choices, etc.)
I've already completed around 20 drawings and sent them to my colorist. This update will probably feature the largest amount of illustrations so far, so I'll try to look for and hire an artist to help me with the line-work this time. If I find someone suitable I will be able to produce even more drawings per chapter, let's see how that goes.
I've designed several new outfits for some characters.
I've commissioned 5 new music pieces for the game's OST. I can't wait to see how those turn out.
I'm also looking further into a Steam release and optimal Android port, but those are being harder to sort out than I thought. I'll keep you posted on those fronts.
I'm preparing some WIP and behind the scenes stuff for Chapter 8, last time I showed you the process behind the creation of some scenes and you seemed to enjoy it. I'll post those in the following days/weeks.
Sorry if I'm still a bit absent these days, after Chapter 8 I needed to take things easy for a bit to relax and focus on the creative process for Chapter 9, but I'll try to post some fun or relevant stuff for you guys in here. I'm really hyped to create Chapter 9 and I want to release it as soon as I'm able!

As a black man can we get more romance with lena and jeremy, not just him being fetishized but a real romantic intrest, it's just sad that we haven't seen that yet.
I can support this and concur with you, most black male characters are fetishized not a love / romantic interest, only game that has something that could lead to being romantic is DmD
It would be good if you can get the game on steam it would open the game up to a wider consumer base
It's OK to be absent sometimes. There are more important things than work, like Euro 2020 and Copa de America 2021.
Thanks for the status report! After finishing chapter 8, a little rest was well-deserved. As for new outfits, I hope I'm not the only one that wants to have more options for Ian as well, haha.
You surely deserved a rest after all your great work on Chapter 8. Good to take and a break and recharge, don't want you getting burnt out.
Slightly off topic… Are you Intersted in bug reports? V8 crashes repeatedly in the appartment (Ian, Emmy and …)
It's not a bug.
Eva, take it easy! The game is amazing and it would be a disaster if you'd burn out, not finishing it. But saying all that it's not that I'm not happy to see you positively excited for the next chapter. And the news about new music and the possibility for getting help with line drawing are absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see the results of this. WIPs and BTSs are more than welcomed to be posted here.
Excited about the outfits. With Holly's potential wardrobe change during Lena's music performance, if she is dating Ian, I am hoping she will have a unique wardrobe when dating Lena too <3
