Update, today got all the texts back from editor! I still have to script everything and some missing art, but at this point it's very likely that After Midnight will be out in September (at least the beta).



After that one, while I'll keep going with An Elven Marriage, almost surely won't manage to get it out this year. However I might announce a new game KS in October, something that Patreon users already know about. All I can say is that will still be fantasy and about a desert tribe... but that's it

Time for another update:

- After Midnight is basically done, just waiting for the last 3 ending CGs before starting the beta, for sure happening this month. I already sent out the Steam keys to backers (of course the game won't work until is officially out)

- Reached 120k words for ToA: An Elven Marriage, still long way to go on the RPG part, but the main story is at good point. I must not overdo myself, trying to keep the story at 150k words (also because if I make 3 more games and are all of this size... means I'll write 600k words in total )

- the next Kickstarte is basically ready. Fantasy story with Nomads setting. Will be yuri only, but with a chance to have also a male protagonist (it's a stretch goal). The art is nice, in particular the CGs which are going to be done in same style as the pin-ups of Amber's Magic Shop. Will launch soon, probably mid-September!

So yesterday released After Midnight on Steam as well, so another project done. There's one week left to the Beastmaster Princess KS, hope we'll reach the male protagonist goal.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be releasing any other games this year considering we're already in October. I'll be working mainly on finishing ToA: An Elven Marriage and I MIGHT have a beta before end of year but I'm not sure, might also decide to take it easier haha

Anyways, even if I release only 2 games this year one was a big one (Mantras) and besides I have done a lot of preliminary work on several other games including an horror game, a sci-fi one with a rather new idea (at least I think) and more stuff. Next year could be interesting

Update, due to my eye issue I've been reducing time in front of monitor a lot. And... doing RPG requires a lot of time

So as expected no more new games this year, but Beastmaster Princess should be out Q1 2023, and shortly after ToA: An Elven Marriage. I've been working on that game only in past weeks while I wait for Beastmaster assets to be completed.

Still making RPG takes an INSANE amount of time, so I might need to take another break early next year. We'll see!

Sorry you are having eye issues I hope they improve.

Respectfully,

Thanks, to improve it I'd need to do a surgery but I'm waiting for now

Time for another update: I'm working on Save the World now since I got some texts proofread. I'll probably be busy until my surgery that takes place begining of May. After that I'll need to take it easy for a week or two, but meanwhile editor should finish the texts, so I think a beta towards end of May should still happen.



Then in June maybe release and perhaps An Elven Marriage Kickstarter... but it's too early to say. I definitely want to finish that game this year !

Another short update: the surgery seems to have gone well and I was able to resume working sooner than I thought. I think at this point the Save the World beta will happen even before end of May, maybe even mid-May!

Jack,

I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

Very respectfully,

Fleetp

Thank you!

Today released Save the World on Steam as well. It was a fun game to make, but now I'm eager to go back working on my usual fantasy stuff. Main priority will be Elven Marriage of course, but I am also brainstorming and writing a few scenes for the next TFTU game, hoping to do a KS for it maybe next year.

Beside that I have a sort of psychological horror game to work on after An Elven Marriage to take a break from big stuff. We'll see what I manage to finish until end of year!

Psychological horror, huh?

Tell us more, Jack! HYPED to hear such!!! >:D

So An Elven Marriage beta is going well, I might release it officially next week on my own site, and maybe mid-October on Steam (it has already been approved, just need to finish setting up some stuff there).

After this I suppose a few more bugs will pop-up during October and mabye November (it's still a complex RPG after all). However I think I might start the next KS around end of October since it would be good for Halloween... hoping to get a good trailer done in time

So with An Elven Marriage done, what's next?



First, psychological horror yuri / adventure game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterwolves/house-of-chavez

KS will start shortly. I think it could be out in January next year if all goes well. I might expand it to have a secondary character as love interest



After this, depends. If the pre-production art for TFTU: Lilith, the 3rd and last game in the TFTU series, is at good point I might do it and release likely next Summer. Alternatively if I feel like it, I might begin work on ToA: Reign Of War, reusing same engine (I don't want to make too many gameplay design changes).

Or even the Thieves of Dingirra game, but for that I need to come up with a new gameplay system.



There are also a couple of secret games in the work that could be at good point around Q2 next year but since are unannounced I don't want to talk about them yet!

Wow time to update this thread



House of Chavez is in "closed beta", but tomorrow will be open to anyone, and I'll also start a thread here, even if not many people post here anymore (most are on Discord). This will be itchio URL: https://winter-wolves.itch.io/house-of-chavez



If all goes well, I think a release next month (April) it's likely, even on Steam.



Then, I'll be doing the Kickstarter for TFTU: Lilith: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterwolves/tales-from-the-under-realm-lilith

Yes, it's the third and last game in the Tales From The Under-Realm series It features Evelyn as romance, and Odette (the adoptive daughter of Hazel and romance from the first game).

I'm probably going to do an animated intro for that game with OST and voiceovers



Then, Thieves Of DIngirra KS will happen later this year, probably after Summer, when I'll be more relaxed (personal stuff really broke my concentration this month). There's already a KS page up for that one as well: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterwolves/thieves-of-dingirra

Jack,

I wish you success with the new games!

Thank you!
