Weekly Status Report Chapter 11 (1)
With the final version of the Prologue released, I just realized I haven't posted a proper status report on Chapter 11 yet. I had been keeping the prologue stuff under wraps since I wanted it to be some kind of surprise, and after finishing the release cycle, I've been laser focused on the script for Chapter 11.
These past two weeks I've been working mostly on the writing, and I feel I'm making good progress. I began writing the script the same day the Alpha was published, and in this time I've completed what I think is about 65-70% of it. The art is about 50% done.
I've finally found a couple of artists I can delegate some illustrations too, which has enabled me to focus on the writing during these weeks. I still draw all of the heads and faces, and I want to keep drawing the most important scenes myself, but I'll try delegating as much as I can, as long as the final result is up to my standards.
I've also been working on enhancing the music department (and a bit of the audio), and I'm trying something pretty cool that I still don't know if will work, but if it does I'll let you know more.
Other than that, I'll keep focusing on writing and try to finish Ian's part as fast as I can, and then continue with Lena's and the remaining art stuff. I'll keep you posted!

will the ch. 11 prologue become available on android?
I hope you haven't forgotten about us that we can only play on android😔
No offense, but playing this optical masterpiece on a mini-screen is almost a sin ;) . You will get the game mechanics, but you don`t get the real atmosphere. I also feel the difference between playing (13") on my laptop and playing on monitor (>30").
I really like the Minerva storyline can't wait for more content with the cheating MILF.
In terms of audio I wouldn't mind if some characters got expressive noises when a certain things happen like when Lena has her shock face if it played a gasp with the change or Ians hurt/sad face he grumbles a little bit I think that might add a nice extra layer to the game.
If not done too much, I would agree. But too much of it (or the "wrong" sounds) can conquer the immersion rather than support it. Thinking about you imagine Ian having a very deep, male-ish voice and Eva choosing a very high pitched voice for him. But the less articulated the sounds are, the lesser the risk for this, I would think. Like the slammed door or an questioning "hm?" or a grumble. An "Ohhh" or ok might be too much.
Can't wait for lena/ mike scene. I had her cheating on Ian.
How to get Ian/Ivy scene? Kept it casual with Lena and have gone to the gym before her performance but I still don't get it. I also have Cindy cheating on Wade, fucking Emma, and Lena is Louise' mistress, not fucking Mike.
Good news indeed but what about itch.io?
You mean for even more freedom in game-choices?
The writing is where you shine, so definitely continue spending time with that. Keep up the good work.
That are great news
Want to say again that I really appreciate how weekly these weekly status reports actually are. Gives a real sense of progress while we wait.
I don't know if I'm alone, but everytime an adult game as music, I mute it as soon as possible
You are missing out. Summers gone, Being a Dik, Eternum... There are a lot of good games with incredible music and soundwork. And of course there are very bad ones too (I'm looking at you, Rebirth!)
Sound good😊 hope you’re having fun
