Hi everyone!

Response to the game has been pretty solid so far for a first release here on Itch.io but i have noticed a few people asked if there was to be a male LI or is it only female. I wanted to clarify this once again, even though the male didn't show up in the prologue there is a male LI. He will first show up in the upcoming Chapter 1 but unlike the almost instant lewd interaction with the female (this was due to her heightened senses that vampirism causes) the player was given a choice right here in the prologue to ''help her out'' or not. However for a male LI, it will be a bit of a slower burn because some events in the story have to happen in order for that relationship to start growing. This may disappoint some as some people want things right away and that's perfectly understandable. So for chapter one if you are on solo path there will be at some point in the chapter an option for you (it's always a choice in my game) if you want to engage in some fun with not one, but two male characters, at the same time! But keep in mind that casual one time interactions such as this one are only available on solo path due to the way im telling my story. Basically, you are playing three games in one, as each path is very distinct with different dialogue, different story directions and sometimes different situations. This is one of those cases. 

Now for the characters. So far i have revealed two new characters out of four that will show up for the first time in Chapter 1 and will complete the main cast, these being the male LI Miles and another female Yuna who will only available on solo path in a one time threesome interaction alongside her partner, because she will never be willing to cheat, but they are willing to bring in a third on occasion.

As i said, i already revealed these two to my patrons so might as well show them to you guys on here as well:

This is a male LI Miles:

And here we have Yuna, a social media influencer with a BDSM fetish:

I hope you like these new characters!

In the coming weeks as i reveal more to my paid patrons, i will drop the other two characters here as well.

Otherwise, the work on chapter 1 is progressing well, the script is fully written and turns out that due to the amount of story i need to tell in this chapter in order to help acclimate the MC to the new millennia i have decided to increase the length of the chapter from the normal 1 hour of reading across all paths like it was in the prologue to close to 3 hours, so you could say 1 hour per path! This also means more renders and more work for me but has to be done and im sure no one will complain about more content haha. On renders front, i have finished fully rendering in 4k two out of six scenes for all paths that will take place in this chapter and im currently working on the third so almost half way there!

Here is a little sneak peak of one such scene:

Unfortunately last week i had a mishap with a corrupted scene file so i lost about 50 or so renders and that entire scene setup so i had to redo it all over again from memory but happy to report that this has been done and i even made some improvements to it and am now in the process of working on those lost renders again. And it was a custom built set too so it took some work but i got it done. But that's development for you, sometimes unforeseen circumstances will happen. But the issue has been corrected (it was a faulty drive so now i moved the project to a new SSD) so hopefully this doesn't happen again any time soon.

Here is a sneak peak of now recreated set where a portion of this chapter will take place and is a recurring location for future chapters as well so i wanted to give it some extra personal touch. 

As you see, i made an entire custom building around it so it can be explored from all sides in future chapters. And here is inside. The location can be accessed seamlessly from the outside, no fakery being done and you can also see the entire neighborhood from inside, this is all one massive scene.

So overall, the work on chapter 1 is ongoing and progress is being made each day. I can't put down a date of release just yet as there is still a lot of rendering left to do but im roughly hoping for sometime next month if all goes according to plan (which it rarely does let's be honest).

That's it for the first public dev log, i hope you like these, i will try to do these at least once a month for my free followers while my paid patrons will still get weekly updates so (shameless plug) if you feel like you want to support the project, Patreon is currently the only place to do so, but im working on some other platforms, if they get approved, so maybe more options soon. I was contemplating enabling optional donations here on Itch.io but honestly im kind of weary of that as i don't want my game to get de-indexed due to the new rules, but we will see.

Other platforms currently considered are Subscribestar (if they can get of their asses and approve my page, it's been a month now) and i also submitted my game on Oppaiman.com for review so that may be an option for you soon as well. Steam is still not an option for me yet due to the fees and requirements but hopefully soon?  We will see.

Anyway, let's keep on trucking and until next time, take care all!
