Incoming wall of text and images.

Hi! It's been a while since I last posted, so let me share with you what has been going on. Episode 1 is underway; while...

Back from vacation

Refreshed, Houses of Hearts' production officially begins. I'm eager to start working right away, and my brain fog has lifted somewhat.

Though at this poi...

Houses of Hearts Project update #1

Hi!

It's been close to a week—more or less—since the early access release of Game of Hearts. It wasn't a perfect product, not even close, lacking in a few glaring areas, and I've since tried to remedy that as the pre-production phase of ...

Houses of Hearts

Hi! With Season 1's conclusion, I am now looking ahead and focusing on the sequel.

First: I want the next season to be much better than the first—it has to be if I want to pursue a full-time goal.

Now I'm neari...

Public version Early access coming very soon

It will contain about 190-ish more renders than the beta, solely dedicated to the epilogue and a short teaser at the end.

I won't post any spoilers about the epilogue specifically this time.

Beta coming in March 14th!

Wow. It has been a marathon to reach the beta release. I'm more than confident to say that the release will come in about a week—faster if my render speed allows it.

I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I can't wait to hear what you...

Chapter 5 part 2 Teaser#1

(Animation might take a while to load)

I'm currently in the refining/editing process and also completing and rendering animations, which is taking more time than I expected. I had to attend a few real-life events last week, which put a hampe...

Beta coming in a few weeks

Potential spoilers are below, as usual.

I'm sorry again, it's been taking a while. I've been very, very busy with this project and my life, so I haven't been able to post a lot of stuff.

Chapter 5 part 2 Final? Sneak peek

Before reading this post, I must warn you that the images will spoil part 2. Proceed with caution.

Hi! It's been more than a month(more or less) since the last update. Too long, I'd say. But despite the holidays and my job, December's been a...

Happy new year!

I've just returned from a short vacation with my family; I apologize for the temporary silence.

The project update will come in a week or so- I hope we have a great year ahead!

Julia's Christmas - Short

These are 4k comic short with Julia as the main star. Patreon compresses those images, so for a better experience, it is better to download the .rar version of the comic, attached below.

Julia collection - First edition

More will come. Rendered a bunch of stuff, but then I chose not to use these for the Christmas mini special. I'll release them as-is, as a way to thank you all for your incredible support.

Julia's christmas

Coming... well, on Christmas eve.

Christmas special renders

I'm planning to make a series of special renders for Christmas. They will be in a specific style, with a little story tied behind it. Due to time constraints, I can't do this for all existing characters, so one must be chosen.

Chapter 5 part 2 December Update

Oh boy. There is a lot to share.

First off, the scope of the final shoot is... bigger than my initial expectations. The variations in the scenes are... quite numerous, and Meredith's reactions compound the complexity of what I must do even m...

Project update - November 2024

Taking a peek behind the curtain... one can see a scene they will never wish upon their worst enemies. But alas, being the one in control, taking charge of what happens and what the poor guy sees, what kind of words will he utter in his mind witho...

Project update - October 2024

More scenes are completed. Now, the progress is currently on the outskirts of the shoot, calmly exploring Meredith's initial hesitation with the unique scenario in the shoot. There is a specific look I am trying to achieve, and I do think I have n...

Chapter 5 Part 2 Sneak peeks - 1

Hi! I've finished a few scenes and would love to show what I've done!

I'm quite satisfied with the progress. The scenes are working well, and I be...

Confrontation

The last few pieces are falling into place. Meredith's fate is now in your hands. Will the road you pave be of salvation? Or will it be her disgrace?

Only time can tell... in part 2 :)

Hi! It's been a while since I las...

Coming in 23rd August!

One more week. There are more kinks I want to iron out before release.

I appreciate your patience! We're very close to the finish line :)

Coming Mid-August!

Hi! I've completed most of Chapter 5's content. It's taken a long, long time, and I understand this isn't quite the norm with my usual release schedule.

I'm truly sorry I can't push the pace any further, between the increase in rendering tim...

Chapter 5 Sneak peeks (4) + Update!

Hi!

I've made a lot more progress since the last update. There's more work than I expected; the scope of the next chapter is a little higher than I initially calculated. The increased fidelity also necessitates more render time and precision...

Chapter 5 Sneak peeks (3)

Hi! I'm back to share more about my progress. I've been hit with a few real-life stuff lately, but thankfully most of the issues have been resolved. Thankfully, they didn't hit this project hard, and I've been able to maintain a decent pace throu...

Chapter 5 Sneak peeks + update (3)

Hi! It's been over two weeks since the last update. I've made more progress since, but it's still not nearly enough to complete the chapter as a whole. I believe I'm at about 50-60% completion, but that might change depending on how much more ther...

Chapter 5 Sneaks peeks + Project update (2)

Well, a few weeks have passed since my last update; I'm back to share more news about the upcoming chapter.

Frankly, there's a lot more to be done. Not because I've been slow or anything, there's just... a lot of scenes to finish. More so th...

Slight changes in visual style - Chapter 5

Just a heads up. I've been tinkering with the rendering pipeline since the start of the chapter, figuring out ways to increase details while keeping the render time similar. Due to time constraints, the renders of the past were he...

Chapter 5 Sneak peeks (1) + Small Update

Hi! Thank you for your ongoing support!

Chapter 5 is progressing well. Personally, I believe chapter 5 has taken quite a leap in terms of my ability as a creator, and I hope that it'll show later in the final product. I've learned a ton sinc...
