Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #6
Just now
Hello,

So... The first Dev Log of Season 2 with Season 1 behind us... It feels good.

I have just added the Android version to the pinned release post of Season 1 and released the two soundtrack packs on Steam.

50% of the revenue will go to the music artist. From my various talks with different artists, I know how little (if anything) most of them make.
I wish I could've done the same for Vesky, but he's with Musicbed, so that's not going to happen.

The Intangible has been with me for a very long time, and I'd consider "

" as much "SG" as most of the Vesky songs.

I only found him recently, but he was a pleasure to talk to. His enthusiasm and the fact that we're both living in Berlin only added to it. And I really liked "Flüsternde Schatten."

Sadly, I still used the old contract for Late Kids. I find them criminally underrated, and I will soon contact them to re-license the music for Season 2 and use my new contract. If they accept, I will do the same for them when S2 releases on Steam.

GOG and EPIC
Season 1 will be released on GOG on the 17th, and Epic Games on the... Yeah... Umm... They found my Steam page and are forcing me to add achievements to Epic.

Epic:
GOG:

It's a pain in the ass to add the achievements to Epic. But hopefully, I'll finish that before the 17th.
(Both pages should be available in Germany.)

I will ask them for an exception if I can't get it to work. (I saw several posts of Devs who didn't have to do it.)

Season 1's pricing and the Serene Tier.
Let me also address the new Tier. I've mentioned through 2023, that Season 1 will match the pricing of the digital storefronts.
GOG, for example, checks my other stores and matches the pricing. I can't put the pricing there myself, so I had to adjust it.

Season 2 - Chapter 1 will, of course, be available for the Summer tier. ($5) Nothing will change to the Season 2 access until it is released on the storefronts.

SG's release on Steam was nice, but the greatest thing is that no more reworks are left. I can't even describe how "light" I feel.
By far, my personal highlight.
I, of course, still stand behind the reworks. Doing it was the right choice and now that it's done, it actually feels like I finished an update for once.
Previously, I finished, for example, Chapter 4, and I knew that another 2k renders were waiting for me with the rework... And by the time that was done, I was already under some pressure to release the next update.
It slurped me mentally. But the slurping is over.


Summer's Gone - Constellations
Season 2 - Chapter 1

Season 2 gets a fancy name and a fancy new UI.
Previews
My favorite camgirl.

"Must protect."

Besides the new main menu UI, the whole dialogue display has been upgraded. (Of course, Messe created it.)
This is how it would look in Season 2.

It's centralized now, and the choice menu also looks really nice. (I'll preview it in the next log.)
Quite a huge portion of S2-Chapter 1 is under non-disclosure. Previews will be limited for a while.
But in the next log, I will show some Bellchen previews.

I think next week, I've recharged my social batteries and will start contacting a few new music artists and the ones I want to take into Season 2.
This doesn't include Grace Mesa, etc.
Due to Season 2's adult nature, we won't be hearing them again—at least until I have enough "weight" to get custom deals with the big music companies.

I'll see you in two weeks!

Thx for sharing.
Hopefully he will come through and indeed deliver some "adult nature" content in season 2

 

[justeris]

renders are crazy

 

[Republican Bear]

Oh yes please.
I replayed yesterday but turned it frustrated of after few minutes.

Hopefully someone updates the mod that adds back more of the content he edited out. I finally played the newer version it wasn't that bad.

So I'll eat crow this time, but still think he edits and removes content way to many times since it launched.

 

[Spangles]

Dev making bank with this game. Disappointing still has no scenes

 

[mmccaw]

Sweet I've been waiting for this update!!! Thanks a lot

I don't have words to describe how much I liked this game, which is impressive. I never imagined I would enjoy an AVN that doesn't even have sex scenes, but everything is so interesting—the story, the characters, the setting, the protagonist's drama—everything is so well constructed. This has become my favorite game of this type, which is quite ironic. I'm excited for the continuation and even more eager to learn more about what happened to Summer.
I just have one question: what exactly is the DLC? I'm not sure if I saw it in the game.

You probably played it for the first time? I liked the game a lot first time too. But then in two years reworks happened, some lewd stuff even got removed... so I can't share your enthusiasm now. Hopefully with season 2 it will actually progress and we'll finally get rid of "blue balls police"

It's packs of renders and some music

Yes, I played yesterday, but I understand you. If I had to wait that long for updates, it probably wouldn't have had the same impact as it did now

 

[derodius]

such a great story, brilliant characters and some of the best visuals ive seen in a vn

 

[User_124703]

I am confused.
I played it the last time with ch5 beta.
Now I played the Steam with uncut taboo edition.
And I noticed no new stuff. It were the same? What changed?
I mean, I enjoyed it. But I hoped, the story had progressed.
What have I missed?

 

[Lenrimnellac]

Yeah, apparently that bug hasn't been fixed for months. Sancho1969 over on Fuck95 fixed it (and a whole lot of other bugs) in their mod, and there's also a standalone fix if you won't want to use the mod:

Thanks guy. I was myself blocked and had to stop the game because of it. Great ! I get the opportunity to replay it

 

[red baron]

this dev has to be trolling us. takes forever to update and just remakes his game instead of allowing story to go anywhere....

 

[Myuhinny]

Well look at what they did to their other game. I use to play that one till the DEV changed the mc to look like a roider that should be doing gay porn with his dad. Not to mention the other characters they changed.

 

[ScarWillRiseAgain]

Great artwork and story, just slow to update

 

[Producer]

Absolutely a top game.

Not much as all that happened was he adds lewd or certain scenes to just remove or edit them countless times.

If you compare the steam and beta versions you can notice the little differences.

What a waste.
especially with the PG16 changes.
The uncut taboo edition is fine. But, as stated. Not worth playing again. cause there is no new content...

 

[Lasset]

Does the Dev work on this game of Where it All Began more?

 

[idontdreamwhenisleep69]

This might be my favorite game on the site.
