Hello guys.
It's been a while since my last post.
Not many good news probably. Last few weeks - other than working - I spent running around some clinics, making some examinations. Some health care stuff. It seems that I will still need to do some more running to the doctors in the following weeks/months, but hopefully it won't be too tense :P
But there is also a better news:
With not enough time to give to Meretrix, I got back to my notes of my side project. It's no longer only about the notes, but I put it into a real project. Currently I have it at 12k words :P
Some specification:
I am using TWINE.
It is story based project, which will focus on player's choices which will affect the later plot. It's probably safe to say that it is going to be a Choose Your Own Advanture project.
It will NOT include any custom made graphics, but it will have real world pictures for the setting and porn pics/gifs for the sexual themed events.
Story: Post apocalyptic world in a not too far future. Inspired mainly by The Walking Dead Universe, although with less focus on the zombies themselves and more on the human interaction aspect.
Keep in mind that I am planning focusing on this side project only until I have enough time to get back to TEW, which IS a priority for me.
With all that said: Keep in touch guys and stay tuned for more news :)

Art is a troublesome thing...
Hello guys.
Hope you're all well and healthy in the new 2017 year.
As I've mentioned before Christmas - I am finally able to spend some actual time on The Endless World. However, that is probably the optimistic part of the news...
A bit worse part of it is that (lacking any help with graphics) I decided to give myself a chance to become my own CG artist. After all I am not THAT bad with a pencil and a piece of paper... Remembering that I was actually able to gather some money on Patreon, I decided to buy myself a simple graphic tablet - with the game being the only real purpose for the purchase. Now, I DO have the tool at home, and I have actually spend a few hours of my free time trying to learn the ropes...
Here is a sample of what I've made during the practises :P (obviously that's not all, but...)
The real problem is however with feeling the tablet... Drawing with it is on a totally different level than with the regular pencil... And I think I might strugle to come up with some decent arts. Don't get me wrong - I am NOT giving up the idea of trying more and more to improve my skills, but I will probably try to spend more time on adding the events and progressing with the game than failing yet again to give proper shapes to the haircut of the main heroine :x
Keep in mind, that this entry is not meant to be sad and I am far from calling my experience with the tablet a failure. I am atually feeling energetic about my attampts. It's just that I was hoping to find a solution for the artistic part of the project but for the time being I am still left riddled with the task. I thought it would only be fair to update all of you about the project.
Anyway: I am most likely going back to RPG Maker in the following days!
Keep tuned! ;)

A wind of change ^^
Hello guys ;)
This time I decided that I will NOT keep you waiting for few weeks before posting again.
Actually I finally have some decent news (personally I would call these 'good', but maybe not everyone is going to share my enthusiasm so I am sticking to 'decent'). I made myself a surprise on Saint Nicholas Day (6th December) and actually returned directly to 'Civilization'!
Why now of all times? Does that mean I am not busy with my work anymore?
Actually, I decided to give up on one of my real-life hobbies, what gave me some additional free time - hopefully enough to keep my focus at high enough level to rejoin Meretrix indefinitely ;)
Putting that aside for a second - I still have a busy period at work - so no promises about the amount of time I could be spending on The Endless World but last 3 days gave me enough time to feel satisfied with the progress.
Well, maybe not a real progress - there is no new content added yet, after the break. What I have done in the last 72 hours then?
1. Played the game myself for the first time. - I don't like testing, so I usually save such things for much later. The surprising fact is that playing the implemented content (and I only choose one route for every quest - haven't checked everything - though I DID complete all the side quests) took me 3 hours and 20 minutes. I hope I didn't slack off somewhere during the playthrough and the clock is showing the right time. Oh - and I obviously didn't skip any dialogues and always chose the longest solutions. (for example intro can be skipped almost fully, and I decided to go with the highly detailed one - which included summary of the begininng)
2. Fixed A LOT of smaller and bigger bugs. Tackled some spellings - BUT not all of them yet :P
3. Fixed quite a few system issues - hopefully overcame my earlier struggling with the bars on top of the screen.
Tonight - I am going to bed. But probably next time I will have a spare time I will finally be back to adding the content to the game! :)
If the Lady Luck allows this is going to be a really nice December and a great way of entering the new year ;)
Keep tuned guys :)

Sad Autumn time...
Hello guys.
It's been a LONG time (more than a month actually...) since my last post and it's probably the high time I give a sign of life.
Unfortunately - there are no great news coming for now.
My current situation looks as follows:
I am currently working in real life 7 days a week... (Since the beginning of October) and it is likely that this will last till the first week of December. With that said - I usually have little to no time to put some creative stuff together. Luckily - I am hoping to get a bit more freedom when the year will be nearing the end.
On the bright side: I still spend these tiny bits of spare time mostly on my games. I am even often tempted with getting back to Meretrix story directly - but I know it's not going to work unless I can sit at it for some hours. Therefore my main focus went to the text based project and my concept reached 20 pages already. Hopefully, I can pull this one nicely before the time for Civilization comes again.
Stay tuned for the progress guys ;)
PS: There is no Civilization demo available and unfortunately there won't be one for quite some time. The only thing that can grately shorten the time of waiting for this, is me getting a graphic maker to support the project or enough Patreon donations to hire a quality artist.

Searching for legal image resources and taking a slight detour.
Greetings guys,
It's been some time.
I've had some time to consider the results of last two polls and I've decided to work on a bit different project, letting Meretrix and her advantures rest for some weeks.
The general idea of the new project:
Text based, possibly with real-world pictures and/or gifs added (or some test renders, if I manage to find the right tool for TEW).
I am not yet ready to tell the details about the plot, but most likely it is going to include involuntary body swapping of the main character. So we are going to get into the skin of a girl, who used to be a man not too long before.
You are of course welcome to share your thoughts on the idea ;3
I am also still looking for the right tool for 3d renders, or any other source to make at least decent graphics by myself. But, please keep in mind that I am not sure if I can use the tools with 'for non-commercial use only', because although the project itself is non-commercial, I still have a Patreon Page up.
Take care guys ;)

Some dillemas and two new polls.
Hello guys,
I have been struggling with graphical issues for quite a while now, and to be honest I have reached a wall... I mean, my main graphic maker was online like 3 or 4 times last 3-4 months... When he shows up we can talk, chat and spend few hours on planning, but after that I am left alone stuck with waiting.
I honestly wish, he would be the one to prepare the graphical side of the game as I really like his work and I also like him as a person. I am however starting to consider other solutions...
It's not that I don't believe in him - there is still faith on my side. However I am spending more and more time outside of the rpg maker, writing and planning, because - well - graphical side is lacking here and there and yet in another place...
That made me wonder, if any of the readers and followers of my blog know some 3d rendering methods, which even an amatour like myself could use to create scenes? Of course, I am asking just in case if I fail to come up withany idea for regular pictures in the game. If you know something, please let me know in the comments or on my email.
Also, while taking notes to the Meretrix's story I came up with a bundle of ideas, which may not really fit to 'Civilization' so I've started to think about not really too time consuming side-project. I started to wonder if maybe I should try writing it down and share an actual game with you guys while waiting for the second part of TEW? It would be 100% text based project (maybe with some erotic pictures added), so I can handle EVERYTHING myself, and have it actually completed in a relatively short period of time.
Of course, I ensure all of you that The Endless World is my highest priority and the game's future is not endangered by any of my recent struggles. To make it more valid, my graphic maker tested the current content before dissapearing again, and it should already have around 2 hours of playtime. I know it's not the mountain peak, but I say it's at least a good start ;)
With all that mentioned I will start two new polls to see your opinion about these two news from my side.
Also, I strongly encourage to write more of your thoughts if you think that the poll doesn't do the justice for your judgement of the questions.
Keep tuned and I am waiting for your feedback :)
