I&#8217;m not sure yet when exactly, but definitely should happen in first months of the year. I have currently 4 chapters out of 5 fully edited, I might still add a few things there and there, but if I had to guess, February or early March at the latest could be a good candidate for the beta release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms-624x351.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/arms.jpg 1907w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Our heroines on a side quest to gather a cure<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, the next game to be out should be <strong>ToA: An Elven Marriage<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve basically worked on it already last year in &#8220;my spare time&#8221; but being a full RPG (with some new tweaks\/features of course) it takes longer than a pure VN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting-624x351.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/crafting.jpg 1907w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>the crafting screen of the game<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d like to say it will be out in Q2-Q3, but maybe I could release a smaller game first to avoid burn-out. I&#8217;ll need to see (as usual I&#8217;m working on several games at once).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah yes, about the smaller games: I already spoke about this in my Patreon, in practice I&#8217;m going to try making some sci-fi games but more in the Black Mirror style, so not space opera, but &#8220;alternate reality&#8221;, &#8220;crazy situations&#8221;, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll be able to release one of those games this year, and will be about aliens but&#8230; I believe it&#8217;s a new idea, different from what already seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, I also started brainstorming the next (and likely last) game of the Tales From The Under-Realm series (yuri only like the other titles). For now all I can say is that Evelyn from After Midnight will be a love interest, and the protagonist will be a half-demon named Lilith. Not a bad start, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year! As every year, I&#8217;ll set my own new year goals in the first post of the year.
