Hey guys,
After a long time, version 0.4 of Transylvania is finally here. This number bump signifies that Chapter 2 is finally officially complete-able and you can reach the beginning of Chapter 3. Of course this doesn't mean that that Chapter 2 is fully done - more polish and content will continue to be added to it - but it is nevertheless a major milestone.
As you can imagine, a l...

I wanted to give you a quick but important update, a heads up on the schedule for the next 2 patches, as well as some info on what we're working on. TL;DR at the bottom.
Situation: As some of you may know from a pervious post, I'm currently in the middle of some big life changes. I got married this month, and my wife and I are expecting a baby due in Septe...

Another month has gone by and it's time for an update. Big news first - the engine upgrade is ahead of schedule and was fully completed this month. Things are working well, and the only compromise for the moment is the ability to save to disc, which I'm hoping will be coming back at some point. You can find more details about the engine changes in the recent post.
Since so...

I wanted to drop a little blog post to share with you what's going on this month, why it's happening and what are the short and long term implications. This post is going to focus exclusively on technical stuff.

Another months is gone and another update is here! As discussed in the previous DevBlog, in this update our main focus was to take Alex's succubus transformations to the next level and to lay the groundwork for the kind of art we want to have.

The end of the month is drawing near and it's been a while since I've last released a post, so I wanted to write you a quick one to let you know where we're at.
First of all, patch 0.3.13 is gearing for release and I'm currently crunching out final scenes and testing. Expect it to drop on the 31st so we can squeeze out as much of this month as possible for final polish tha...
2022-05-29 16:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello guys,
Another update is here! This one is a bit of an unusual one, as we've temporarily had to split our efforts on 2 branches, with more details below:
In March, by pure coincidence I stumbled upon a composer who was enthusiastic to work on the project. Sound was originally something that we had planned for later on in the development pipeline, but seeing their work and heari...

It's time for another update, and this one is a sizable one!
Before diving in, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for your patience and understanding of the situation. Last week I was not in a state of mind to be talking about this, and it didn't feel right. As we promised, we have donated $600 to humanitarian aid, specifically to a fund dedicated to the chil...

The new patch is finally here! This update brings new story, scenes, art, engine updates and a step closer to completing Chapter 2.
But first, let's look at the yearly recap - in January 2021, we set a target of roughly completing Chapter 2 by the end of 2022. So where are we at ? The answer is - almost there.
With the current patch and the Elder's storyline, a...

We have some important developments to share with you, as well as to request your feedback and opinion.
Last week, we were contacted by Patreon staff to inform us that certain scenes in the project were not within Patreon's content policy guidelines. In order to prevent the project from being suspended, we have complied with their request and are releasing a new vers...

However, doing both of these things simultaneously has proven more challenging than expected and we are unfortunately still working on polish and bugfixing.

As you know it's very important to me to release within the month and to show everyone what has been made possible with your amazing support. This is why I really don't like at all pushing this, even for 3 days. However at this point it seems like the best action.
To keep things short, have been sick for the last few days (nothing serious, no need to worry), and lost a lot...
