Hey, everyone!

First of all, I’m super excited to share with you the Chimera: Bloodlines v0.2! It has about twice as much content as v0.1.5, fully developed interfaces and features, and introductions of all of the characters!

I CAN’T HIGHLIGHT THIS ENOUGH - it has been a very difficult first experience of working solo on a game (I am more used to being a Producer), and I wouldn’t be able to finish this without your help. Over the 4 months, I have accumulated large number of skills, which leads me to my next announcement.

Bur first - the game can be downloaded and played on Itch.io: https://fundigames.itch.io/chimera

ANNOUNCEMENT: after very carefully evaluating the massive scope of the game, I have made a decision to pause the development at version 0.2 - and immediately begin the development of my next title, which I can develop a lot more realistically, called “I SCREAM”, which is an adult game, dealing with subjects of abuse. Of course, fully driven by your choices. This game will not have a sandbox system (though, I will, of course, create interesting UI), and will be fully dedicated to being first and foremost an ADULT GAME, with very strong character development, rather than being focused on the huge lore like in Chimera: Bloodlines.

MORE INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT PUBLIC POST.

I understand that this announcement may result in some of you not willing to support me anymore - which is totally cool. But what I can guarantee, is that the quality of this next title, when it comes both to NSFW content and compelling characters - will be awesome, using everything I learned from the development of this title.

Whether you stay or leave - in any case, I really appreciate your support and trust in me.

And now…
