Old Hiccup 

Hello everyone, welcome to version 3.01.00 of Our Home. Yeah!

Before we dive into the details of this update, I’d like to clarify something important. In the announcement for version 3.00.00, we shared our plan to release two versions in March. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and I want you to understand the reasons behind this decision. Two key factors influenced this change of plans.

The first was the valuable feedback we received from you, our players, about issues with the characters’ skins. This led us to undertake a full review of the game, which ended up taking nearly 15 days of our schedule. We corrected 100% of the story renders to adjust the skins, ensuring they realistically reflected each character’s age the images were already done, but they needed to be revised and adjusted. We identified that a sharpness setting in post-processing was making the textures look artificial, with exaggerated details that compromised the natural look. We also took this opportunity to fix continuity issues that arose after the prologue rework, since all the images needed adjustments. Below, you can check out a before-and-after example of this correction.

This version is incredibly special to us. About a year ago, we shared that we were working on a new prologue. From the beginning, we made it clear that this wouldn’t interfere with our monthly release schedule. Over the past year, we released 10 versions while working behind the scenes to rewrite, recreate scenes, and refine the story—ensuring that the prologue reaches the depth and quality our narrative deserves.

When I decided to create Our Home, I had a clear vision: a compelling story with a well-defined path and a meaningful conclusion. However, choosing to work in 3D was a massive challenge. I lacked both the resources and the skills to achieve high-quality results. Over time, I learned, and with the help of my wife—an incredible partner who joined me on this journey—we turned this idea into reality. None of this would have been possible without her.

The first versions of Our Home were, to say the least, modest. The renders and writing were far from exceptional. However, revamping the prologue is about more than just improving graphics. It’s an opportunity to explore character relationships in greater depth, providing a clearer, richer narrative.

We initially thought that working on the prologue in parallel wouldn’t delay our releases. However, it took much longer than expected to ensure it met the quality standards we envisioned. I always try to see the glass as half full—I know we could’ve done more, but I believe we’ve reached a level where this new prologue will set a strong foundation and keep some of the previous criticisms at bay for a while. These changes are definitive.

💎Highlights of the new version:

Over 550 renders, including 4 secret renders.

Average reading time: 35 minutes

Main event: At Norah's house, Thursday at 7 a.m. (For those playing in VN mode, the event will trigger automatically.)

Summary: MC faces intense challenges after missing a exam deadline but finds unexpected opportunities through Norah's support. As he steps into a professional event at Aquila, a fiery encounter with Matilda adds tension and excitement to his journey of self-discovery.

Hello, everyone! Version 2.22.0 is here!

First things first, let’s go over the content in this update. In this version, we reveal new details about how Samantha is trying to convince our protagonist to help her with her investigation against Norah. We provide a general overview of all the elements involved in this investigation, setting the stage for the unraveling of key plot points in the story.

Samantha plays a crucial role in uncovering the protagonist's past and will be a central figure in much of the main storyline.

As you may have noticed, this version came out a few days late. There was no special reason for the delay, but we simply underestimated our capacity. We thought our development schedule was in order, but I was wrong. We really needed more time to complete this version with everything we had planned, so that the next release starts as it should.

We realized how much Juli’s illness threw off our schedule. Now, all we can do is commit to working hard to get everything back on track.

In this update, our hero returns to the orphanage to talk with Amelia and better understand her relationship with Norah, as well as decide whether to help Samantha with the investigation. This part of the story is crucial for revealing Amelia’s role as a guardian. We’ve made sure the narrative flows smoothly and that the hero gets the necessary information to make his decision. Of course, each decision comes with consequences, and that’s something we’ll explore in the next version to wrap up this arc with our hero.
