These past few days, I’ve been making good progress on both the art and writing fronts. I’ve completed around 12 illustrations and have been tackling the script with renewed energy. It’s funny how reaching the release of a new update always leaves me exhausted, but once it’s out, I usually feel revi

The Full version of Chapter 15.2 has been published, which as you know brings Ian’s part of this episode to a close. This version comes with additional bugfixes and polish, but no major changes from the Beta. This update focuses on the events of the MMA tournament and their immediate aftermath, with

This week I’ve been fixing reported bugs from the latest release, and the final version (15.2.3) is almost ready and will be released later this week. I’ve also started working on the next update, the part of Chapter 15 that focuses on Lena. I’ve been working on the content and structure, deciding w

The Beta version of Chapter 15.2 has been published, which brings Ian’s part of this episode to a close. Bugfixes have been implemented, plus some polish and minor additions to some scenes. This update focuses on the events of the MMA tournament and their immediate aftermath, with an emphasis on adv

I’ve finally finished writing the script. Now all that’s left is to finish editing the last visual assets and code them into the script, add music and sound effects, review and polish a few remaining aspects, hunt down bugs, and playtest as much as I can. The complexity of the narrative intersection

This past week I’ve been working on the new artwork for the second part of the chapter. All the required illustrations are now finished and have been sent to the colorist. There’s also one extra scene I’d like to include, but that will depend on how the rest of development progresses. As for the scr

The release cycle for Chapter 15.1 isn’t over yet, but work hasn’t stopped. Over the past few days, I’ve been reviewing and fixing reported bugs, both from the new content and from rough edges or obscure inconsistencies in previous chapters that were reported on the Discord server. I’ve also resumed

Chapter 15.1.2 is out for +10€ tier patrons! Reported bugs have been ironed out, plus some additional bugfixes from prior versions. You can download it here. In this update, we're back to Ian's POV to see how his relationship develop and spend some time with her many love interests. The content in t

The new chapter is almost ready. I’ve finished the last remaining major scene, and I’ve been testing the main branches. I still want to do some additional playtesting, as well as review the writing and dialogue in a few scenes. The complexity and density of the interconnected branches and variations

At last, I'm back in my studio, able to focus on finishing the chapter. I spend my mornings writing the script for the second part, which will be released later; my afternoons are dedicated to playtesting the new content, and in the evenings I work on editing the remaining artwork. The playtesting h

This week I’m continuing to work on both the script and the art. One of the main scenes is now completely finished, with all the illustrations completed, edited, and coded, as well as the music and sound cues fully integrated into the script. I’m now going through the scenes that have already been w

I'm making progress in both writing and art: I've finished all the major scenes in the first narritive block and now I'm finishing some remaining conversational interactions (mainly Ian+Lena, which always gets comlicated due to all the possible permutations of their relationship). I’m also giving th

I wrapped up the female NPC popularity poll a few days ago, but I hadn’t had the time to post about it until now. Let’s take a look at the results! Multiple Vote Poll In the multiple-choice poll, the same trio takes the podium as last time. The undisputed queen is once again Cindy, followed at some

Really quick status update: I keep progressing on both art and writing departments. I've completed the drawings for 3 majors scenes and some have already been colored and are ready for the final pass. I'm planning a fourth major scene and will get started with those drawings next. The script's reach

This post marks the start of the weekly status updates for Chapter 15. Even though this is the first one, I’ve already been working on it for a few weeks, and I’ve completed the artwork for two of the main scenes in this part of the chapter. As you already know, we’re returning to Ian’s point of vie

Our Red String finally comes to Steam! I've been postponing this for far too long, but we finally did it. I'm still not sure what to expect, but if you want to give the game some support there, it'll be greatly appreciated! Also, the Full version 14.2.3 has been released here on Patreon for +20€ pat

I’m putting the finishing touches on the chapter, assembling the pieces and smoothing out the rough edges. I’m wrapping up the final scene, which I could technically cut for the Alpha release, but honestly I want to include it at launch so the chapter feels as polished and complete as possible. Beyo

I’m currently working on the final stages of the chapter: I’ve written all the main scenes except for one, and all the illustrations are finished except for two animations that still need coloring. While I’m focusing on this, I’ve also started playtesting the update, fixing, polishing, and putting a

I’ve set myself the goal of having the update ready by the end of this month, and I’m still making progress through the final stretches of the script, which has already reached the length of the last release and will surpass it. The scenes are highly modular and can play out in different variations

Hello there! It’s been a while since I last wrote to you, but work on the chapter is still moving forward. Even though it’s been a bit tough to make progress during the holiday season, I’ve pushed myself to get back to it with the goal of finishing it once and for all. I’m pouring all the focus I ha

Happy New Year, everyone! I want to start the year by sincerely thanking you for your support, interest, and subscriptions throughout 2025 and the years before. Your patience and encouragement are what keep this project moving forward, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in it. 2025

Merry Christmas, everyone! A quick status update before this week’s celebrations: I’ve been focusing on the art this past week, since I’ll be heading back to my hometown for the holidays and won’t have my usual setup there. So I’ve been prioritizing artwork edits and finishing some new pieces to sen

This week the flu knocked me out and I’ve been stuck in bed, so it’s been hard to be as productive as I wanted. On the days I managed to work, I wrote a bit, but I mostly focused on editing images and giving the game’s music a little extra love. I replaced a couple of tracks that felt pretty weak an

These past few weeks I've been stuck in the grind, making slow but (I think) steady progress. I’m finding it a bit hard to sit down and write the status updates because my head is completely wrapped up in this chapter’s script, juggling a lot of things at once, feeling stuck on some, seeing how othe

Just a quick status update: My goal was (and still is) to have the chapter ready this week, but I’m going to need a few more days to finish the remaining scenes. Writing, testing, and working on the visuals has been my sole focus, and it's frustrating that progress still feels slower than I’d like,

These days I’m still rushing to get as much of the chapter done as I can before September. I’ve been testing the script, finishing up art assets, and writing the final beats all at once, so I barely have time for anything else, including going into detail with status reports. The hardest part has be

Today I’m bringing you something a little different. When I first started publishing GGGB, part of the development cycle included a short preview of the upcoming chapter, offered as a reward to the highest-tier patrons. Back then, of course, I was releasing a chapter every month, and they were much

Today I’m bringing you a pretty quick status update: I’ve basically been in crunch mode for the past couple of weeks, trying to push forward as much as I can with this part of the chapter, and I plan to keep going like this until I have something to release. Coordinating all the tasks has been a cha

These past few days I’ve been working on several fronts at once, which might be why progress has felt a bit slow. I finished writing the first block of the script, and almost all of the art is ready (just waiting for the colorist to send me the last batch of illustrations so I can give them the fina

This week I finished writing the script for the first day's events and started working on the second part. I'm currently structuring the basic layout of the scenes and interactions. I've also been making progress with the art and finishing the new character sprites. There are new outfits and also ne

As I mentioned earlier, in my plans the next chapter, which encapsulates the Billy event, will be split across three playable days. For now, my idea is to release it in two parts: the first covering the first two days, and the second focusing on the third. These days I’m finishing up the content for

Hey everyone! Adapting to the new environment has been interesting, lots to get used to and take care of, but my motivation for work remains strong. This past week, I’ve stayed focused on the script, and I’ve nearly completed the first of the two days that will make up the narrative arc of the next

This past week I've been settling into the new environment, building furniture, handling various errands and bureaucratic stuff, and, of course, working. I finally have a proper desk, chair, and internet connection. That said, I’m still having issues setting up my PC, so for now, I’m working exclusi

Hey everyone, This week I finally got settled into my new place, though I’m still without internet at home (or furniture, dishes, or a washing machine), so I’ve been wandering from cafés to restaurants, begging for Wi-Fi just to get some work done. I haven’t been able to move forward with any new ar

Hi everyone! Sorry for the reduced frequency of status updates, but as I mentioned before, this week and next I’m in the middle of moving to another country. The relocation, paperwork, and getting settled are taking up quite a bit of my mental (and physical) energy. That said, and now that Chapter 1

I’ve finally finished version 13.3.5 of the latest chapter! Between delays from the colorist and the workload turning out to be heavier than expected, it’s arriving a bit later than planned—but I hope it’ll be worth the wait! +10€ patrons can play it right now here, and +5€ patrons will get access t

This is (finally) the last status report for Chapter 13. I’ve finally received the colored artwork I was waiting for, and I’ve already started editing and finalizing everything. In addition to the two new scenes, I’ve added a few extra images to previous scenes that really deserved some visual upgra

Apologies for the lack of updates last week. Right now, I'm in the middle of moving to another country, and between all the paperwork, finding a place to live, and countless other tasks, it's been a pretty chaotic time. As for the upcoming and final update for Chapter 13.3, I had hoped to release it

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been writing the additional scenes I wanted to include in Chapter 13, and I’ll be wrapping those up in the coming days. The artwork is currently with the colorist, and as soon as I receive it, I’ll edit and prepare the release of version 13.3.5, which will be available

Chapter 13.3 is now complete and available to all patrons at €5 and up, but there's still a bit of work to be done. I've just released an update (13.3.4) that includes a few bugfixes, mainly addressing some rare narrative inconsistencies involving Ian, Cindy, Wade, and Lena. I also added Gillian’s o

Chapter 13.3.3 is available now for all +5€ patrons with bugfixes from 13.3.2 and some graphical enhancements. Play it here!

Chapter 13.3.2 is available now for all +10€ patrons with bugfixes from 13.3.1. Play it here! Version 13.3.3 will be available to all +5€ patrons next weekend!

We did it! The new update is out on schedule, and as you already know, this one focuses on Ian and picks up right where the last chapter left off. The script ended up being slightly longer than the previous release, and I’ve worked to reflect the outcome of certain plot points while pushing a few ot

This will be the final status update before the release of Chapter 13.3 Alpha. I’ve finished writing Cindy’s last scenes (they were quite a challenge), and today I’ve started testing. What’s left? Adding background music and sound effects, finishing the image edits for one last scene, and tweaking a

Finishing up the assembly of the chapter is taking a bit longer than expected. Fatigue and complexity have slowed me down a little, but I’m almost there! This week, I’ll be wrapping up the final text edits and polishing a few fragments, but all the main scenes are already done. The script has alread

I’m almost done with the planned content for the Alpha release of Chapter 13.3! I still need to finish writing two scenes and wrap up the remaining artwork, which I expect to receive this week. The closer a release gets, the more it burns in my hands. I can’t wait to finalize the remaining pieces an

I've finished writing all the scenes except for Cindy's, which is what will keep me busy this week. I hope to finish the script in the next few days and start assembling and testing all the pieces next week. I have about 90% of the art ready, and I'm waiting for the colorist to finish the last scene

This week, I’ve kept working on the chapter, and I’d say I’m about 75-80% done. My goal is to finish writing the script next week and start playtesting. The art is almost ready; I just have a couple of illustrations left to complete, and I’m waiting for the colored drawings to finalize them. I’ll pr

This week, my focus has been spread across multiple areas: I’ve kept working on the chapter script, but I’ve mainly focused on smaller scenes and interactions, like texting sequences and internal monologues that add depth to the narrative. As usual, even the simplest scenes come with their own level

Today I went to the doctor, and it turns out that the lingering issues from pneumonia that have been bothering me were actually due to two broken ribs. No wonder I was in pain... On top of that, I’ve caught a nasty case of bronchitis again and got put on a mild dose of antibiotics. Despite these lin
