Hello everyone,

While working on the capsule art for the upcoming episode's Steam page, I realized that the render would make a fantastic desktop wallpaper. So here it is—enjoy! 😊


This scene is from the new chapter currently in development, although the girl's outfit will be slightly different in the game.

Unfortunately, I can't attach files directly here on Steam. However, you can download the wallpaper in three different resolutions—4k, 2k, and 1k—absolutely free from the post on my Patreon.

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share some behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the 7th chapter of **With Eyes Closed**! This time around, I decided to start with the animations to keep my graphics cards busy rendering 24/7. It's been a fun and rewarding process, and I can definitely see a big leap in quality. Looking back at animations from earlier chapters, like the third or fourth, I initially thought about reusing some by tweaking them a bit. But honestly, they just don't match up to what I can do now! I've realized how important those small details are in bringing animations to life.

So far, I've nearly wrapped up one of the two intimate scenes in the next chapter. The first one, with Eva, is quite impressive—it includes a whopping 16 animations! Out of those, 14 are all prepped and ready for rendering, and the last two will be good to go in the next few days. Most of these animations have over 400 frames each, which means a lot of rendering time. It'll take over a month on my two trusty 3090s 😊. But while that's happening, I'll be fully immersed in working on text and crafting those static renders. Plus, I'm planning to upgrade my graphics cards soon!

I've upped the rendering time for each frame to retain more sharpness, avoiding denoisers and enhancing image quality.

Here are a few renders from the scene with Eva, and I promise to show you some animations next time!


Thanks so much for being part of this journey with me. Your support means the world!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to provide you with a status update on the development of the next season of **With Eyes Closed**. The sixth chapter is now complete and marks the beginning of a new season. This chapter delves into two narrative threads based on your choices from the first season, with one path focusing on a romantic relationship with Eva and another alternative storyline involving Luna. As always, Kate will have a significant role, ensuring that there's something for everyone.


The new chapter includes:
- 422 renders
- 15,000 words
- 24 animations

I've made significant efforts to enhance the visual and auditory experience, improving the quality of renders, animations, and sound elements. My aim is to ensure that every scene resonates with you, both visually and emotionally.


In addition to the chapter's release on Patreon, I’m working on launching the Steam page for the new season, so keep an eye out for that. This upcoming season will be available on Steam only after it is fully completed, thoroughly tested, and free of any bugs.

If you wish to play during the development process or simply want to support me financially, you can do so on my Patreon. Please note that this is by no means necessary, as all updates regarding the development status will also be posted here on Steam. I actually recommend waiting for the complete season on Steam for the best experience, but if you’re eager to join the journey early, here is the link to my Patreon.

Thank you for your unwavering support and patience. Your feedback continues to be invaluable. Stay tuned for more updates here on Steam. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
