Yes, I'm a nerd, so it has to be done. Enjoy!

Hey, everyone! Time for another check in and quick render drop. I'm currently in the middle of writing a pair of particularly special scenes with content that has been regularly requested from the very early days of the project. I'm just hoping to do them justice in the end. I'm also taking the occasional break to begin the process of mapping out the end-game properly. All of the choices, options, etc, all have to be tied up into a pretty little bow.

Oh, did I mention that your choices could actually result in the death of a character? That's right. There is actually a chance that what you've done along the way may have gotten someone killed in the end. There are technically two potential deaths, but any given playthrough can only possibly see one of them. Oh, and I won't be giving any hints as to who could be headed for an early demise.

One thing to note on this topic. In order for it to happen, you have to ignore some very blatant signs and warnings. Basically, you have to play like you just don't care what happens, as I'm not personally a fan of killing people off. But I also don't play evil characters, and there's an evil route in the game. It's all about player choice!

So the question is, do you think you've managed to do the unthinkable?

Who do you think might not make it back from Euchora?

Hey everyone! Dropping by to give you a new Chapter 9 Preview! This environment is making my computers cry while to rendering it, but damn is it worth it! There is just so much detail, it's so beautiful.

I'm now pushing past the halfway mark, which means things are picking up speed. The core of the chapter is set, which makes everything else easier. Now I get to focus on putting all the pieces together. Minor spoiler, but not really: Those of you on the harem path are going to get a LOT of extra content in this chapter!

Alright, back to work for me!

I'd like to announce that I've officially started work on the follow up project to Between Two Worlds.

Beyond Two Worlds

This project will explore what happens to our group of adventurers after the end of BTW, if you were to side with Alorine. The evil is over-powering, causing significant changes to your friends. Below, you can see the impact it has had on Hannah. Here's what you can expect:

• Open world exploration in Unreal Engine 5
  
• Up to 8 person multi-player for more realistic group sex experiences
  
• AI based real-time interactions with NPCs
  
• Full voiceover, with Scarlett Johansson playing Hannah, and Sean Connery playing the MC
  
• Adaptive enemies that will use machine learning to predict your plans and counter your efforts
  
• Evolving storylines that will take you out of Euchora and into space
  
• Microtransactions to buy your way into the panties of various girls, skipping the need to actually try
  
• Early Supporters will receive up to FIVE free cosmetic accessory crates during the beta (All cosmetics will be removed upon Full Release)
  

Hey everyone! Just dropping by to give you a pair of special renders! One is to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, featuring Skylar. The other is to celebrate... uh... Hannah is a Hottie Day? Featuring... Hannah!

Anyway, here they are!





Download links, for those who want them:

Skylar
Hannah

Alright, back to work for me!

-Droosk

Greetings and Salutations, adventurers! Spring officially begins in a few weeks, but Hannah decided to get out and enjoy things a little early. Image is available in 4k, 1440p and 1080p for those who want to download it. Link:

In other news, Chapter 9 is now about 40% done. This is excellent news because, typically, the second half of the update tends to move much more quickly. I'll be handing off the first several scenes to the translators so that they can begin their work soon, and should even be able to get an initial alpha going with my testers in the next couple weeks.

For those of you who actually read these updates, I'd kinda like to know who your preferred lady in BTW is. If you're willing to share, let me know!

Also, did you notice that Between Two Worlds won an award? As voted on by the Reddit community, BTW is the "Best Fantasy AVN for 2024"! Pretty cool, right??

Back to work with me!

-Droosk

Now you can enjoy a steamy Valentines Day with Hannah, Skylar, and Emily at 27% off! Pick up your copy and warm up with the ladies while you explore the trials and tribulations of Euchora! Will you resist the promises of power, or will you succumb to the darkness?

Hey, everyone! No new overall progression content. This update is adding the gallery renders for Chapter 7 and 8. In addition, here are a couple of extra renders. Hope you have a steamy Valentines Day!

Hello everyone! Just dropping by to keep you up to date on the progress of work! Things are moving along nice and quick, and I'd put the writing for the chapter at about 25 to 30% complete. I've also already posed the first couple of scenes, and will begin rendering them soon. Development is full steam ahead and I'm working as much as possible to get this done!

I'll be taking a short break from Chapter 9 work for the next two days to work on gallery shots. I have over half of Chapter 7 done already. I want to get that done and start on 8. I am way behind on those, and it needs to get done. The gallery shots are done at a much higher quality, so they tend to take a lot of time to do, so thank you for being patient on that.

For the special render, I actually have a few. I took some of the feedback for requests from the previous posts, and did some artistic variations. I have the second one as a desktop wallpaper now :)

• Hannah, Skylar, and Emily enjoying drinks on the beach in their bikinis.
  
• Hannah looking over her shoulder at you at sunset.
  
• Bailey and Kaylee doing a little...exploration...of their own.
  

Hello you lovely people! It's time to do the first update of Chapter 9, and Skylar is here to give me a hand. She's having a good time on her trip to Japan. She'll be hanging out in Akihabara soon.

So, how about some information on the upcoming chapter, huh?

Well, the first few scenes of chapter 9 are now written, and have been handed over to my proof-readers for corrections. Initial revisions have already come back, which means that I get to start the process of posing and rendering tomorrow! This is the earliest after an update that I've ever gotten to that step, so this is really good news.

I've got then chapter mapped out, and I've even included some events that I had not originally planned to have in the game at all. But, I got some ideas on how to make them not only happen, but make them really enjoyable, so now they will be included! They are scenes that people have been asking for since early on, so I'm really excited to bring them to life.

Since I'm now in primary production, I'm going to say that I'm hoping for a quick turnaround this time. End of April, maybe?

I'm going to get back to work. Just curious, though. If you could request a special render, who would you like to see and what kind of environment would you like to see them in? I'll pick some of the best replies for 4k shots and wallpapers!

-Droosk

Correcting a few code errors and an issue in the Spanish translation files.

Small patch to fix a broken variable. This will impact only a very small number of players, and the impact shouldn't actually be noticeable. Primarily a decision tree issue.

Curious about how I designed a particular character?

Wonder what my process is for making the environments?

Want to know why Rhaskin exists at all?

If you have any questions about the game, the process, how this kind of thing is made, whatever, this is your time to ask! As long as the answer isn't related to story spoilers, I'll do my best to answer!

Let's keep it friendly!

-Droosk

Chapter 8 of Between Two Worlds is here!

• ~1,100 new renders
  
• 40 new animations
  
• 2-3 hours average new play time
  
• Corrections to previous renders and dialogue
  
• New NSFW scenes
  

Hey everyone! Just a quick note to give an update to the...update. Due to the holidays, the translators need a little extra time, and I'm absolutely not going to deny that to them. As such, I am pushing the date back one week. That's why I said tentative release, things happen!

Chapter 8 WILL be released no later than December 30th. If it's ready to go before then, then it'll be released. But at the absolute latest, it'll be the 30th.

Don't forget, you can always join us on the Discord server for community interaction! I often post little tidbits of the work there. Plus, you can get a special Steam role giving you access to special renders that can't be shown on Steam!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

-Droosk

Hello everyone! It's finally time to make the announcement! I am officially aiming for December 23rd as the release date for Chapter 8! Writing is wrapping up and is being reviewed by my testing group, which will let me focus entirely on the graphics and animation over the next couple weeks. I've already had the majority of the game tested, roughly 65% of it, so beta testing the remainder should be fairly quick!

I've also sent the files over to my translators to have them working on those so that they can be ready in time.

Assuming there are no major problems, you can look forward to spending some time in Euchora, before spending time with that weird Uncle over at Grandma's house. You know who I mean...

Anyway, I'm going to get back to work. This will probably be the last announcement before the release!

Talk to you soon!

-Droosk

PS - Here's a special Christmas render for you!

Hello everyone! I'm looking for feedback from those of you who follow the games progress. Of importance, is feedback about update size and timing.

Basically, as it stands now, updates for Between Two Worlds bring an average of 2-3 hours of play time, based on what people tell me. I'm curious how you feel about this. Basically, do you want big updates like this, even though they take longer to make? Or would you prefer smaller updates (essentially an hour to an hour and a half of time) that take significantly less time?

Sound off in the comments, if you feel like it!

Oh, and before I leave, here's a fresh preview of Chapter 8!

Hannah is here to wish you all a safe and happy Halloween!

-Droosk

I decided to record myself making an animation so that I could share it with everyone. I turned it into a time lapse, so you don't have to spend a couple hours watching it all! The result is under 2 minutes, and shows the unrendered result at the end. Check it out, if you're interested!

Check it out over on Twitter.

Also, maybe give it a like, retweet, follow, etc, while you're there? :) Note: This is an animation that will appear in Chapter 8. You've been warned!

-Droosk

Hey everyone! I'm just dropping by to give a quick sneak peek at what you can look forward to in Chapter 8. Not staying long, because I want to get back to work! Enjoy :)

Hello everyone! Just stopping by real quick to give a quick update on the development of Chapter 8. I'm proud to let you know that the update is now past the halfway mark! I'll be putting the beta testers to work on it soon, so that they can start working to ensure that it meets the standards you've come to expect. If you're on the harem route, you'll be especially pleased with the events in this chapter.

On the flip side, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As I work on this chapter, it's starting to dawn on me that the story is starting to approach the final stages. Our brave adventures won't last much longer, as they work to face the evil that brought them to the world of Euchora to begin with. The question is, are you working to get your friends back home? Or have you taken the low road, plotting an alternative that they aren't aware of?

Before I go, here's a special render I completed this week. I'm quite proud of it. Every time I do one of these, it's to help me learn new techniques and styles that I can incorporate into the game.

Thanks for your support, and enjoy!

-Droosk

Quick patch to implement the full native Italian translation for Chapter 4 of the game. No new content has been added with this patch.

Chapter 8 Progress Update!

Just a quick note about the progress of Chapter 8!

• Environments - 29%
  
• Writing - 29%
  
• Rendering - 21%
  
• Animation - 15%
  

Hello everyone! Just a quick announcement to let you know that the full slate of community items have now been released! I hope you enjoy them :)

-Drook

Greetings everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Summer is in full swing, as indicated by the 117 degree temperatures I'm currently experiencing. Whoever thought it was a good idea to build a major city in the middle of the desert... that guy is evil.

Anyway, that's not what you're here for. You want an update, right? Well, here we go! I've been able to get the first three scenes of Chapter 8 written, and will be starting the rendering process tomorrow! I'm really pushing hard for that 12 week cycle, and so far, I'm sticking to it pretty well. I'm really hyped for getting this done, which is helping.

Now that the rough outline is done, I can say that there will be less branching in this update than there was in Chapter 7. That's not to say it won't exist. Several of the Chapter 8 scenes will be dictated based on your previous choices. Just not quite as many. We will be seeing the return of a character you interacted with earlier in the game as well. Technically, there are two possible. Which one you get will be based on previous choices.

For those of you on the harem path, you might be happy to hear that I'm actually planning to do the first full group scene with the primary people involved. That's gonna take a long time to animation, but damn it should look good! Maybe the main character will use some of his special abilities to make things even more interesting?

That's it for this week. Next update will include things like render counts and actual numbers to give a deeper understanding of progress. Keep in mind, you can always follow along on the Trello board, or hang out on Discord with us. I'm always sharing things there!

In the meantime, enjoy this special render of Skylar and Hannah sparring!

-Droosk

The game has now been translated into Simplified Chinese! You can select it in the preferences, or by clicking on the Chinese Flag on the main menu! Chapters 1 through 6 are full native translations. Chapter 7 is MTL, but a native translation is coming. All future chapters will also have native translations!

Enjoy!

Hello adventurers! Your patience has been rewarded and Chapter 7 has officially arrived! Return to the world of Euchora with your friends as you continue your quest to return home. Will you succumb to the promise of power at any cost? Or will you stay true to yourself and the others? And who was screaming in the forest?

Beware. Choices have consequences.

[h2]What to expect in this update:[/h2]

• Over 1,000 new, high quality renders
  
• 35 new animations
  
• Further diverging paths and branching story lines
  
• 2-3 hours of additional content
  
• Full native translations for supported languages
  
• 8 new achievements
  

• Corrected several previous bugs and translation issues
  
• Updated the core engine to improve performance and functionality
  
• Steam Deck is now fully supported!
  
• Apple Silicon (M1) is now supported!
  

• Evolving main menu based on your alignment in your most recent saved game
  
• Chapter 7 gallery images
  
• Native translation for Simplified Chinese
  
• Continuation of native translations for Italian on Chapters 4 and 5
  

That's right! It's official! The update has been handed off to the beta testers to tell me everything I've done wrong! I'll be spending the next few days fixing everything they find, while working on the audio at the same time. I will also be making sure that achievements are in place and working with the release on Friday.

This chapter has been such an incredible experience. The branching narratives have really started taking off. I truly can't wait to see what you all think of what is going on, and where the story is headed.

So, keep an eye on your Steam client this Friday! As for me, it's 2am so I think it's time for bed. Had to make sure I got the beta out before I could finish my day!

-Droosk

Edit: By the way, for those who have Steam Decks, the issues that you've experienced before SHOULD be gone with this update. I bought one myself to test, finally.

This is a quick patch to address a handful of grammatical errors, as well as translation fixes. There is no new content in this patch.

Chapter 7 is nearly here!

Hello everyone! Yes, you read that correctly. It's almost time to continue the journey through Euchora! I'm tearing through the final stages of the update as quickly as I possibly can. As I write this, both computers are churning away through the renders and animations. Tomorrow will be a major coding day so that I can get the script out to my translators. Everything is coming together!

So, what can you expect?

Right now, I'm targeting Saturday, June 10th. That's less than 3 weeks from now! If everything goes well, it could come as soon as June 8th, but I want to make sure that the beta testers have sufficient time to properly go through it. Chapter 7 is absolutely loaded with important decisions, branching paths, and in-depth narrative. That means they have to go through every possible choice and branch to make sure it not only works, but sticks to the story so far.

In addition, I know there was some complaint about the music usage in Chapter 6. I heard you, I listened. Chapter 7 will be significantly more diverse in music and sound effects. I intend to eventually go back and remaster the Chapter 6 music, but right now my focus is on delivering Chapter 7 to you.

I'm also working on an eventual chapter selection system, which will allow people to replay content on demand, but that's also something that is down the road. Due to the way that Between Two Worlds flows, and the implementation of the alignment system, it's a difficult project that will need to be tackled carefully to ensure it's done correctly. But it will happen!

One final note. I have recently contracted someone to provide Simplified Chinese translations. I am hoping to have the game fully translated shortly after the release of Chapter 7. So for those of you who have been requesting that, it's coming! The native Italian translation is also ongoing, and will continue being implemented as it's finished.

That's it for now! I need to get back to work and finish this thing up.

Thanks for your continued interest. This journey isn't over yet!

-Droosk

Hello everyone! It's time for an update on development and I'm excited to bring it to you. The worst is done, which was the design and creation of a bunch of all new environments. I had to learn new lighting techniques and processes, in addition to actually making it. But that is done, and work is moving along quickly. Here are some hard numbers:

Environment Design - 85%
Writing - 74%
Rendering - 53%
Animation - 60%
Code - 53%

There are a total of 19 scenes being worked on for the chapter, with clearly defined pathing. Each path, good vs evil, will get 13 full and unique scenes, in addition to a bunch of splitting within the remaining shared 6 scenes. For those playing both paths, this chapter is shaping up to provide 3+ hours of new content.

Right now, I'm trying to get at least two scenes posed and rendered per week minimum. The beta test team has already run through the first half of Chapter 7 and the issues they found have all been addressed. This matters because it cuts down the testing and fixing once the update is finished. Letting them go through it while I continue working makes everything go even faster.

If everything goes to plan, I am hoping to have the full update in their hands in ~5 weeks, and then out to all of you about a week after that.

That's it for this dev update! I plan to do one more in a few weeks with final notes before digging in for the final run. Can't wait to see your theories and ideas once Chapter 7 comes out!

-Droosk

Hello adventurers! Let's welcome the approaching Summer with a hot sale on Between Two Worlds! Hannah got up early to enjoy the morning sun and provide us with this amazing shot.

So if you're up for some fun and an epic adventure, this is an excellent time to step into the world of Euchora and see what's in store for you!

Also, as a side note, you should check out the new game "Seducing the Devil". It was released yesterday and the dev is pretty great. Take a look, see if you might be interested in a more psychological style AVN.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop in and give an update on development, as well as share a new special render. I call it "Evil Hannah". I was working with some lighting for a scene, and the idea came to me for a special render. Looks pretty damn good!

As for development, things are moving along quickly now. I'm actually looking to upload the first beta build for my testers later this week. Nearly all of the custom environments are done, as well as creation of new characters/NPCs that will be featured in the new chapter. Rendering is happening quickly, which is indicated by the fact that my A/C is now running all the time, even though it's 68f/32c outside still. These things make a LOT of heat!

Enjoy the render! Now excuse me while I get back to work!

-Droosk

Added proper Italian translation for Chapter 2. Translation for the remaining chapters are ongoing.

Quick and small update to implements the achievements for Chapter 6. For those of you who have already played through it, the achievements are retroactive so long as you did the proper steps to get them. You will get them when you next launch the game!

Small patch to add the Chapter 6 Gallery

This is just a small patch adding the Chapter 5 image gallery, and fixing a couple of small bugs in the previous code.

No new game content has been added yet!

Hello adventurers!

Time for an official dev update and preview image. Things are going well, and rendering is well underway. Update is a little over halfway done, and I'm picking up speed as I move into the second half of the chapter. I've made some incredible new environments for our group as they move through Euchora, along with some interesting new situations.

As I've said before, the paths will continue to diverge with Chapter 7. Some of the choices you make will cause major jumps in one direction or another. One decision in particular could end up locking you onto a path that you'll be unable to recover from (in terms of good or evil). So make sure you put that new "Named Saves" functionality to use! In case you didn't know, you can enable it in the Preferences menu.

Don't forget, we have a Discord server linked on the main store page. If you're interested in more frequent updates (or general game or off topic conversation!), you should check it out. I'm always active there, and I love to interact with all of you.

I'm aiming to finish the update within 6 to 7 weeks, depending on how the beta testing goes. As with the previous updates, it'll be another 2-3 hours of content on average, and move both the story and relationships forward.

I'll be back soon with another preview!

-Droosk

Hey everyone! It's that time for a dev update! But, rather than doing a bunch of numbers of such, I decided I want to be more community forward. So as a result, I've decided to do a livestream on Twitch (and maybe Youtube)!

For those who are interested in such a thing, I will be showing my processes as I work to animate a shot for the upcoming Chapter 7, This will be an actual in game animation. You will get to see how I work with the software, the assets, the characters, etc. Now keep in mind, I don't claim to be a professional at this. So please don't tune in with the expectation of being blown away. I'm still learning, and I have no problem admitting that!

IMPORTANT! The stream/animation WILL have spoilers for the ending of C6 and the start of C7. If you do not wish to be spoiled, I would recommend not watching. I know some of you are really enjoying the story, and I don't want to ruin that for you!

I will for sure be on Twitch, and will try to dual stream to Youtube at the time same. Here's the channels:

Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/droosk
Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@droosk

Stream will start Friday, February 3rd at roughly 6pm EST (11pm UTC). Hope to see some of you there!

Changelog:

* Added gallery renders for Chapter 3 and Chapter 4
* No new game content in this update. This is only for the gallery!

Patch to fix the Italian translations! Please note, Chapters 1 through 5 are still machine translation. Chapter 6 is native. The previous chapters are being translated properly right now, and I hope to get them into the game within a few weeks!

Chapter 6 change log:

• Full native translation for Brazilian Portuguese.
  
• Full native translation for Latin American Spanish.
  
• Full native translation for French.
  
• Partial native translation for Italian (Chapter 6 will be done and included, Chapters 1 - 5 will be patched in at a later date).
  
• Ability to name your save games so players can keep track of their paths and choices. You can enable/disable this in the Preferences menu. It is disabled by default.
  
• Gallery with unique renders for every scene in the game. Includes Chapters 1 & 2. Chapters 3 & 4 will come this weekend, with 5 & 6 coming next week. This will also eventually include animations from within the game!
  
• ~1,000 new renders.
  
• Over 30 new 60fps animations
  
• Average full game play time is now over 10 hours long
  

• Started process of re-rendering images from early development so they are higher quality. This will be ongoing.
  
• Several grammatical fixes from early chapters. This will be ongoing.
  

Hello everyone! I'm here to provide a quick status update about Chapter 6, and to share a bit of Christmas cheer. Some of you may have seen this image before, but that's okay. You can still enjoy it!

So, first we'll touch on what you actually want to know. "When is the update?!?" Well, good news! Update will almost certainly be coming on Tuesday! The renders are done, animations are encoded, story is written, code is completed. Beta Testers will be getting their hands on the near final version tonight to make sure there are no game breaking bugs.

Granted, while I may be working throughout Christmas day to get this done, I don't expect them to do the same. So I'll probably get the results of the beta testing tomorrow (Monday). I'll make adjustments/fixes/corrections based on their feedback in preparation for the final release. So, it's coming!

I've already started working on Chapter 7, to ensure it has a smaller dev cycle. My early target will be 10-12 weeks.

Here is the preliminary change log for Chapter 6. Note, this is not the final version, just something to give an idea of what can be expected:

• ~1,000 new renders
  
• ~30+ new animations
  
• 2+ hours of additional story
  
• Gallery with unique renders for each scene of the game
  
• Ability to name your saves, so you can better track the paths you're on
  

Hey everyone! Just want to give a quick look at the gallery that we're working on. This will be coming out with Chapter 6, though it'll likely be sent as a patch shortly after the release due to time constraints.

As you progress through the game, and the different possible routes, you'll unlock special renders created exclusively for those scenes. The images will be related to the scenes, but are unique and done at a higher resolution and quality.

Here's a preview of what it will look like! Chapter 6 is coming in the next couple weeks!

Hello Adventurers!

This is just a quick post to give a new preview shot, as well as announce the official release date for Chapter 6 of Between Two Worlds. Release is scheduled for December 8th! I expect it to be roughly as long as Chapter 5 was, but so much is going to happen. Your decisions up to this point will start to have an impact, giving you different experiences as you go.

I look forward to getting it out to you and letting you experience it!

And now, the new preview render! Such a beautiful environment!

Looking for something to do while you avoid the pesky Trick-or-Treaters? Consider spending some time with these beautiful young women! For a limited time, Between Two Worlds is on sale. Experience this beautifully rendered and animated story. Enjoy the curated music. Begin your epic journey today!

Just wanted to share a quick animation preview for the upcoming chapter.

Enjoy!

[previewyoutube=Y3Jluguz-Yc;full][/previewyoutube]

Hello gamers!

Just a quick post to give the first preview image of Chapter 6. I absolutely love this render with Shay and Skylar, and really wanted to share it with you! In addition, tossing in the latest special render that I created for one of the fans of the game. Just the girls having a little fun!

I hope you enjoy! Now I must return to the salt mines and continue work on the next update.

-Droosk

Hello everyone! Time for another update on the progress of Chapter 6. I've been busy getting things done, and it's looking pretty good so far. It's almost certain that this will be longer than Chapter 5 was, and almost half of the content is branching paths. Be careful of your choices though. They have long lasting ramifications!

In addition to a dev update, just a quick announcement to let those of you who may be sitting on the sidelines and waiting know that the game is on sale! For the next week, you can pick up Between Two Worlds for $9.95.

Alright, business taken care of, let's talk about the development update! Here are the hard numbers:

Creative Design: 66%
Environment Design: 29%
Writing: 50%
Rendering: 11%
Animation: 15%
Code: 0%

As you can see, solid progress! The early scene rendering takes a bit longer due to the branching path rendering. Even though it's one scene, there are multiple variants. I do have an artist lined up to help with posing future scenes, so things will move even faster over time. It'll need to, as the the paths continue to split!

The target is still early to mid November for the next update, which will contain about 2 to 2.5 hours of new content on average for most players. This chapter will also see major movement in the primary storyline!

That's it for this update. Thanks for taking the time to read it, and I look forward to sharing some actual in game screenshots (or maybe an animation preview?) in the next update!

Greetings everyone! For those of you in the USA, I hope you had an excellent Labor Day. For those outside the USA, I hope you had a terrific regular day!

First, let me say THANK YOU! I'm so glad that so many of you enjoyed Between Two Worlds. It's a story I've wanted to tell for a long time, and finally being able to share that story with so many people is incredible. This has been such an incredible journey, and there is still so much more to come!

Let's get on to the core purpose of this post. Even though it's only been a couple weeks since Chapter 5 was released, I've been hard at work making Chapter 6. No rest for the weary, right? Gotta keep up that smaller dev cycle! It's still fairly early in the process, but Chapter 6 is already shaping up to be even larger than 5 was. I'm only about a third of the way done with writing, and the script is already ~50 pages long. To compare, C5 was 106 pages. I'm crazy, I know.

So, how about some hard numbers then? Well, here is the current status of Chapter 6:

Creative Design: 33%
Environment Design: 21%
Writing: 37%
Rendering: 0%
Animation: 6%
Code: 0%

If you're interested in following development, I use Trello to keep track of it. You can find my Trello board here.

I've started rendering scene 1, so that number will begin rising in the next couple days. I'm also going to start the process of looking for an artist to join me. The posing and rendering is absolutely the most time consuming part of this process, and as the game moves forward, this gets bigger and bigger. Especially with the branching paths.

Right now, I'm targeting early November for Chapter 6. That would be a roughly 12 week cycle, which as you all know is quite quick! In addition, I've started working on a Christmas special! I expect it to be smaller (in comparison to standard updates), maybe 15-20 minutes of content. But it'll be fun :)

Thanks for checking out this update, and I look forward to more content in the near future!

Hello everyone! I'm so glad that you all seemed to have enjoyed the game so much! This has truly been a labor of love for me for the past two years. Since I first started teaching myself how to do this stuff in late 2020, Between Two Worlds has been my baby. I've focused on little else. So thank you for giving me a chance!

Some of you might be wondering what happens next. Well, that's what this post will address! I've already started working on Chapter 6, which will see our group return to the world of Euchora. They will struggle to save Tosca, while working on all new adventures. If you are interested enough to follow along with the development, I actually have a Trello board dedicated to tracking the process. Here's the link:

I generally update this every day or two as I progress. About halfway through a chapter, my beta testers start doing their work. First on the writing, and then on renders as I produce them. I hope to have Chapter 6 done in 10-12 weeks at the latest. In addition, I am going to work on producing a small Christmas bonus, which will be themed under A Christmas Carol. So you'll receive two updates before year end (One major, one minor)!

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask! I check in on the discussion boards multiple times per day. In addition, feel free to join the Discord and be part of the community!

Thanks for checking this out, and I look forward to doing some previews in the near future!

Hello everyone! I hope you've enjoyed the game so far! As a thank you to those who have bought it, I've put together a collection of special renders that were made for fans during early development. These are 4K resolution images of our favorite girls in various artistic settings.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of Steam and how to do DLC is exceptionally limited still. So rather than possibly break something, I've added a button to the main menu of the game. Can't miss it!

To download the images, simply hit the button and you'll be whisked off to the official Drooskati Games website to download the zip file.

Thank you all! Now I'm off to continue working on Chapter 6!

• Added main menu link to access 4K and special renders
  

• Final update to French Translations - No more errors or crashing!
  

• N/A
  

• Fixed issue causing some lines of dialogue to not show up for those using the French language.
  

• Small patch to correct a coding issue that could cause framerate problems with older computers.
  

• Fixed a bug with the French Translation that caused the game to error in Chapter 3.
  

Achievement for finishing Chapter 5 was not triggering on the harem path. This has been fixed, though you may need to redo the last few frames of the game to get the achievement.

Between Two Worlds is an erotic fantasy and slice of life visual novel. When the world of the tabletop RPG you play suddenly becomes very real. Where will your story take you? Will you remain on the path of virtue and good? Or will the promise of power draw you down another road? The choice is yours to make.



Start your journey today. The average player will enjoy 7-8 hours of content right from the start. I truly hope that you enjoy this story of friendship, love, exploration, and corruption. If you run into any problems, you can reach out to me on Discord, or at support@droosk.com.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update! Beta testing to check for errors, grammar, spelling, etc, is now in progress! We have a very dedicated beta test team that is exceptionally thorough in their work. That way you can enjoy the release without bugs or mistakes!

Right now, I'm actually aiming to release the game on Friday, August 12th. That way you'll be able to enjoy it over the weekend. The official release of August 15th is the fallback, just in case I need to do any last minute revisions. I look forward to getting it out to you as quickly as possible, so I can keep working on new content!

Thank you for taking the time to read this little update!

Hello everyone! Development for the release is going exceptionally well, and I'm super excited about how things are coming out. At this point, I'm actually running a bit ahead of schedule, so it's possible that I'll be able to bring you the game before the planned August 15th date!

In the meantime, I just made an animation that I'm particularly proud of. It's an idle animation, meant to take place during a segment of conversation. I know, it's not the lewd stuff that so many of you want to see, but hey, it looks great! So I wanted to share with you.

Thank you all so much for your continued interest in Between Two Worlds! I can't wait to share my story with you!

Hey everyone! Thanks for taking the time to check this out. I just wanted to take a moment to say hello, give a little more information about the game, and share some art I've made for the game.

First off, currently the "official" release date for the game is set for August 15th. I'm working incredibly hard to try and get this date moved up. Upon release, the game will have the first 5 "chapters" of content, which totals between 7 and 8 hours of play time. Upon release, there will be over 3,000 high quality renders, over 120 full 60fps animations (Well over 10 minutes of 60fps goodness!), full soundtrack, and more.

I've been working on this for nearly a year now. It's definitely been a labor of love. Between Two Worlds is a story first game with adult themes and elements. Yes, you will absolutely get your lewd fix, but you'll also fall in love with the story and the characters! The game is choice driven, meaning that the choices you make will determine how it ends. There will be 6 possible endings to the game, each different in their own way. Each individual ending will take ~30 minutes to fully play out, so they will absolutely be unique!

Attached to this post are some special renders I've made for my community. I hope you enjoy!

Again, thanks for taking the time to check this out, and I look forward to getting the game into your hands ASAP!
