Progress 02.03.2026 and Changelog for Sorcerer 0.4.0

Hello all!

What’s up? Rendering of 0.5.0 has started. Not much to say about it except that I’m behind schedule on that one. Mostly because I made and tested the builds today. So, yeah, the release cycle will start today. So hooray?

Writing? I’ll start writing the update 9 by Wednesday, I think. My workflow is all over the place right now for some reason so I’m trying to get it back to where it needs to be. But update 8 is pretty much done.

Ah, Inquisitor Morin... which, oddly enough, reminds me I need to finish the cult thing I’ve been writing. Right, in ToaM I didn’t really show the "enemy" pretty much at all. That was a sort of conscious decision back then. Partly because everything I could have shown would have been a major spoiler. In Sorcerer? Not really the case; there are multiple threads twisting and turning, so showing things from the opposite side isn’t that big of a problem. And now, the interesting stuff...

Changelog: Sorcerer 2 0.4.0

Changelog:

• 450 renders
• The next part of the story

Public Relase: Sorcerer 2 0.3.0

 

Tested and played through it a few times, and all the saves worked. But that doesn't mean things didn't slip by. So, as always, if there are any issues, please report them on Discord if possible. That way, I notice them quicker.

Progress 27.02.2026

Hello all!

What’s up? I’m about done rendering. There is a section I need to render again, but I’ll do that while the testing is being done since it’s easy to replace. Took longer than I expected, but unfortunately, real life interfered somewhat this week. Annoyingly. But depending on the testing, it’s out maybe a day or two later, which, for those of you that have followed me for longer, means nothing in the long run. I’ll start working on the next update as scheduled. So the update will be sent for testing no later than tomorrow. Assuming I just didn’t jinx it.

Writing is going alright; it’s just again writing the things that are in my head. I should be able to finish it on time, but that again depends on other things. But as you know, that’s not the thing I worry about. I worry more about the upload speed than about writing.

Then... concept stuff. I’ve shown all that I can show without spoiling things too much. I don’t really talk much about the lore of my settings. There are things that people have asked, and I’ve answered, somewhat lengthily in some places. So what you mostly know is from the VN’s and what the characters tell you. Also, apparently, this is the time again when I remind people to make their own judgments when it comes to characters. Not everything that we see as good is good, and not everything we think is evil is evil. But sometimes they hold the truth. Right, short break for me then post-work! You all have a great weekend!

Progress 23.02.2026

Hello all!

Right... Ehhh... two scenes left to render, technically one and a half since the first variant of a scene has been rendered. Although this update has required some set building, which has annoyingly eaten more time than I’d like.

Writing, on the other hand? Eh, could be worse, granted could be better as well, but I should be able to finish update 8 before I render update 5.

Hooray for... insignificant side cast? Well, sort of. I’m not really a fan of the usual tropes that go with this section of the VN genre. Which sort of should be fairly obvious by now. I always use characters that fit the role. In this case? There was a mention of the builder in Sorcerer 1; we never saw him... at least not that I remember. I made a model for him, but I never used it. This is his son who continued the business. No, this isn’t the end of this plot arc, not by a mile. It’s just a... brief break from it. And speaking of breaks, I’ll take a break myself and then hopefully finish the scene tonight. Probably not though, would be happy if I would get half of it done, well half of the half that is left.

Progress 20.02.2026

Hello all!

Right... I’m somewhat annoyed, rendering is... annoying. I mean, I’m not where I want to be script-wise. Unfortunately, the first scene took threeish days to make, but then again it is 146 renders. Render count wise I’m ahead, not that it means much. Render takes the time that they do.

As for writing? It’s going on update 8, not much to say about that. I’m not entirely happy about update 7, but it works as it should... But I need to add something to update 5 although it is already somewhat heavy, but then it makes more sense. Hopefully, I get to write during the weekend, like I used to. Probably jinxed it again.

So a preview... There are few darker images intentionally in this update. And I mean the lighting, not the subject matter. Most of you should know by now that I like using light to create "deep shadows", as it’s always fun to hide things in there that are just barely visible. I got to love modern-day settings for that. Although Daz is weird with loading things and the container in the back is floating... sigh. Anyway, it’s fixed, just haven’t applied the fix to the image. You all have a great weekend! I’ll take a short break and finish this scene. And write while it renders.

Progress 16.02.2026 and Changelog for Sorcerer 2 0.3.0

Hello all!

Monday, public release day... and another release day. So, what’s up?

Rendering the update 0.4.0 has started, shocking, I know. Although there won’t be a preview because, well, spoilers and all that. And some other things, really. But a bit more about that later.

Writing? I’ll start writing 0.8.0 on Wednesday, at least that’s how it looks right now. There is something I need to alter in update 0.7.0. But overall, it looks all right. Just need to get back into the pace...

Effect testing... there are things I’ve written that I now need to actualize... Oh boy, I regret writing them now, mostly joking. But I’m getting closer to finding what I need and how I need to make them.

And something I was supposed to have out on Friday... I was struggling with Daz over the weekend, and then on Monday... nothing wrong with it. Figures. Anyway, area testing, Chinatown... somewhere. Not entirely happy about the lighting, but that I can fix. Ideas form; some are feasible, some aren’t. Most often what ends in use is something in between the two extremes. I’ll probably end up needing this environment, aas one other the stories involving the characters are... somewhat interesting in my opinion. Anyway... the interesting stuff.

Changelog: Sorcerer 2 0.3.0

• 322 renders

• The next story update

• Codex update, and Codex feature update:
  Now the codex remembers the page position (scrolling) when you check an entry; you will return to the same spot.

• Grammar, spelling, bug, and other fixes (Thanks to Adry, Shaddy, BryonSmothers3DX, Bread, Digitalzig, Ignaz, Oaiki, Elhemeer, OBE, Horny Toad, Trminator.)

No "update only" files until 0.5.0, probably. There were some graphical errors that I forgot to fix, or I missed until the builds were done. They are now included, thus the full download.

Release schedule:

• $15 Tier: As soon as I get the links sorted out

• $10 Tier: 18th of February

• $5 Tier: 19th of February

• $3 Tier: 20th of February

• Public: 2nd of March
