v0.1 – Demo

Initial Release

Developer Notes:

I want to address why the development of Chimera: Bloodlines halted at v0.2:

The game’s ambitious scope, featuring 22 characters, proved challenging for a solo developer, especially when striving for meaningful character dynamics.
The sandbox system required an inordinate amount of coding time. For every hour spent writing, I found myself dedicating 1-2 hours to coding—adjusting variables, interfaces, and more. As scenes accumulated, coding demands spiraled.
The core of what I wanted was an adult game emphasizing character relationships. However, Chimera’s narrative became heavily entangled in world-building, limiting my ability to shift its focus.
I believe in integrating sex scenes only where they naturally fit the storyline. Chimera’s expansive lore made it hard to incorporate these scenes organically, and I couldn’t turn back.

Despite its challenges, I’m genuinely pleased with what I accomplished in Chimera: Bloodlines v0.2. In fact, I’m in the process of getting it listed as a demo on Steam.

Drawing from the lessons and skills I’ve gained, I’m confident that “I SCREAM” will reflect a higher caliber of craftsmanship. I genuinely hope that my dedicated patrons will continue this journey with me. Your support fuels my commitment to delivering quality work that foregrounds the narrative, reducing the need for exhaustive coding.

Thank you so much for viewing and hopefully enjoying the v2.0!
The development of Chimera: Bloodlines has been put on hold. You can learn more in the public release.
