Spoiler: Developer Notes

I know many thought the project was abandoned due to the delay, and that perhaps the amount of content doesn't justify the slow pace of updates, but I want to thank everyone who stuck around and for your understanding.

The project continues, perhaps still slowly. But it continues.

Yeah... I was defeated..
Hello everyone, I come with good and bad news.

First of all, no, I'm not going to stop producing IWBD, but I'm going to take a step back and migrate I Wont Back Down to Renpy.

Why? Well, I feel defeated by Unity.

Unity really is a wonderful program for making games and a lot of what I've learned to make IWBD is being used in other SFW projects, but those SFW projects are all tests, they don't need to be released right now and there are other people involved. IWBD should be released playable from time to time and this is proving to be impossible to provide, even more so with zero programming knowledge.

I've been working on a save/load system for the last four weeks that resulted in just an automatic save system, a single save that is performed when closing the game. Well, it works, but it takes away the possibility of several saves, also making my route options for the game impossible (and the fact that depending on the occasion the game freezes due to some conflict with the save system asset), without saying that I don't see way to transfer save files like Renpy.

Besides the save system, other systems are pretty tricky to maintain without occasional bugs. I lost a month's progress at the end of April because of a bug that I didn't know how to solve because it involved programming and I had to restore the project to a previous point...

And I've been using three no coding assets because of the other projects, but to keep the three without conflict is being a huge headache.

This leads to some points for the future of the project:

1- I'm going to migrate to Renpy, maybe I'll be limited for some things but without a doubt I'll be able to release content for you more quickly. Yes, I know, some had already suggested that I do it in Renpy from the beginning, but as I said earlier, I wanted to try Unity, since it would allow me an infinite number of possibilities, so I started with it knowing that it could go wrong. Well, it did... But I'm not ashamed of that because it was a good learning experience at Unity that I'm taking to other projects.

2 - I promised faster updates for you, which I couldn't fulfill and now that I'm going to migrate to Renpy it may end up taking a little longer. It bothers me that you guys are supporting me and not getting game updates... so I'm going to pause collecting donations until I'm sure V0.1 is released on Renpy. This pause lasts 30 days (this is Patreon's own default)

That's it guys, I'll bring more information when I start migrating to Renpy.​

A little update and quick poll!
Hello everybody! How are you?

We enter the month of August and I come to bring you some updates on IWBD.

Producing this game has been both a satisfying and nerve-wracking experience.Having to learn the programs and carve out time to produce has been challenging. (I've been putting in a lot of overtime at my job lately) But progress has been made and I'll show you some.

Regarding the NSFW scenes, we only have two that are part of the main story, so they are not repeatable.We have other scenes, but they are base scenes. No NSFW: Melissa's Reading, Mary's Breakfast, Hellena's Yoga Session, and Hellena, Mary, and Melissa's Bath Peek. These scenes do not have NSFW, but from them will come many others.



Now I would like to ask you, how do you feel about all this waiting?

I've been trying to release the update for a while now, but as I said before it's been a messy production.I wish I could do more scenes before releasing v0.1, but with that, it might take even longer to release. If released only with the aforementioned scenes, maybe I will be able to release this month.

Also keep in mind that I ended up having to redo the game when moving from unity to renpy, so technically speaking, the Renpy version is only a little over two months in the making.Would you rather have v0.1 released now, or would you rather v0.1 have more content?

See ya!​

Announcement and explanations

You must be registered to see links

Hello everyone!!! How are you?
It's been a long time, hasn't it?! I would like to thank all of you for your patience and explain a little about the things that happened.
First of all, I already announced that I will release V.01 this Halloween week. I will have two days off during the week (in addition to the weekend) and I will use this time to finish and release the game.
But I think I owe some explanations. I know that the number of posts has been very scarce and I apologize for that. I will try to keep posting more frequently.
Anyway, this year was really problematic for me. For a few months I had to work overtime at my job (8:00 am - 10:00 pm), I had some disagreements with inconvenient relatives and even then I almost got fired and had a very problematic relationship breakup.
I don't regret starting IWBD at all, but maybe I should have started it at a different time.
I even spent two months without collecting donations here on Patreon because I think it's unfair to receive something when I wasn't producing anything.
But now things really seem to be back on track.
I got things right with my relatives, I changed jobs, and therapy has helped a

now I'm kind of entering a period of tranquility and I've been able to go back to producing with peace of mind.

That said, let's talk about the game.
I could call it Demo 2, as it was practically a new production compared to the Demo from the beginning of the year but I'll leave it with v.01.
Due to all the delay we had, I decided to remove some scenes and leave them for the next versions.
Some mechanics also stayed for the next version, like the Task Guide (but I will make the available scenes clear), the map and other locations and the character location icons. I'll try to update these things soon after I release v.01.

About scenes:
2 NSFW scenes (with looped animation)
3 teasing scenes
Some simple interactions around the house
(maybe something more until release)
All of this amounts to over 270 rendered images (practically half are for loop animations). It takes an average of 100 hours of rendering...
That's what we'll have for now.
I'll let you know as I finish v.01.
Once again, thank you for your support and patience!

They are either drunk and laughing, or this is a new number.

*edit*
This game just reminded me of why I hate sandbox games. It was a great start, then the sandbox hit. Just clicking through all of the rooms for each part of the day so I don't miss anything, and there was a whole bunch of nothing. All of the first Tuesday went by with no interactions, so I checked the schedule. It said Melissa was supposed to be in the bathroom in the evening. So I scrolled back to see how I missed that, and realized there isn't a bathroom. She wasn't in any of the other rooms, so what was the point of putting that on her schedule? Wednesday morning hits, and all I could do was wash dishes for Mary. Then right back to a whole bunch of nothing.

I think the dev forgot to put a game in his game. I saw the post about the original release being a bit thin, but this is barely demo. Still, I want to see more. I really liked the start, and want to see the story continue, but there needs to be something to do. That's the whole point of the sandbox. All of these people in this house, and no one's ever there? That just makes it pointless. All of these preview pics, some with this unseen bathroom, tells me it must open up eventually, but I don't want to mindlessly click through nothing just to pass time. Please bring the events closer together so there is something to do.

*2nd edit*
Just checked over at F95 to see if this was there, and this is just a demo. I may have ranted less if that were noted here. Still going to leave the rant.

Hello everyone. How are you?

I know it's been a while since my last update.

I apologize for this and thank you for your patience.

Following the updates I shared in the previous post, I continued to modify some features of IWBD based on your feedback.

I've reworked the quest window; I believe it's now clearer and easier to navigate through the narrative.



It is much simpler, but functional, and may have more information in the future

After updating the map, I've now also revamped how scenes are triggered. Gone are the days of accumulating relationship points, which meant repeating the same actions over and over until you had enough points.

Now, scenes unlock naturally as you progress through the quests. Replayable scenes become available for rewatching right after you view them for the first time.

I've also used a proofreader to refine the grammar and coherence of all dialogue texts. Admittedly, this was an obvious step to take, but it took a suggestion from a Patreon supporter to make it happen. My apologies for the oversight.

Furthermore, I've shifted the characters' relationship choices to their initial appearance in the game. This means you won't have to spend a long time at the start of the game making selections one by one.



I believe the core functionalities of the game are now established and unlikely to undergo significant changes moving forward.

The focus of production will shift primarily towards creating scene content, although I mustn't forget to introduce Catherine, who was absent from the last release.

I'm working as swiftly as possible to prepare the next update for release in April.

Once again, I extend my gratitude to everyone for their support and patience.

In my next post, I'll share some images from the upcoming scenes included in the update.

See you later!​

 

[Lefty]

I may have ranted about the game, but I am looking forward to the next release! I don't like sandbox games, but obviously I will try them. You hooked me with the looks of the characters and the opening of the story, and the story is the main reason I continue to play a game. I want this story to continue.

 

[zombhunt]

The sandbox killed the momentum for me and made it boring.

Lewd scenes that do not involve the MC is not cool, boring.

Can only pass time in the bedroom, total crap.

I gave up on this after 3 in game weeks of it telling me, task1 is talk to Mary in the kitchen and her telling me she is too busy to talk. Only thing to do for 3 in game weeks is wash fucking dishes.

I can already tell that Ivy will be the one dishing out the NTR in this game.

This one is abandoned.
