It has been an incredible journey developing Harem of Valerius as a solo dev, balancing time between my daily life and my passion for this project. And now, I’m excited to share the next steps!

🎥 Cutscenes & Animation Pipeline

Cutscenes are a huge part of making Harem of Valerius feel alive, and I’ve officially started crafting them! My pipeline involves motion capture, which I then retarget, clean up, and refine to fit the characters and the scene. This process takes time, but the results are promising, and I’m thrilled with how they’re coming together.

Every update, every animation, every new feature is built with passion, and I can’t wait to share more as the game evolves. If you haven’t yet, check out the prototype demo on Itch.io and let me know what you think!
Your support fuels this journey. 💙🔥

You dude, Valerius
