Happy New Year, everyone. We are still in January so I suppose I am still vaguely on time. I hope you are ready for yet another look back on Traümendes Mädchen’s activities.

2021 review & 2022 plans
Happy Holidays…with a slight delay. It’s the intent that matters, right? More seriously though, it’s high time to do the traditional look back on Träumendes Mädchen’s activities
2020 review & 2021 plans
Do you remember when I was writing that, unless some disaster happens, there would be no reason for Chronotopia not to come out in 2020? I think the universe is trying to send me a message. Needless to say that the year didn’t go as well as I had hoped…
2019 review & 2020 plans
Happy Holidays to all! As we do every year, I’d like to take some time to look back on Träumendes Mädchen’s activities. If 2017 had been a living hell and 2018 an unexpected rebirth, what did 2019 have in store for us? The answer will surprise you…
[Spotlight] Prince Genèse (D route)
Last time I introduced prince Thalie and his cool cape, so let’s move on to the last candidate: Genèse!
Minor spoilers ahead: the setting and characters of the route are revealed.
[Spotlight] Background Animations
Last time we talked about dynamic shots, let’s backtrack a bit to bring up polishing in general…and background animations in particular!
A simple rain animation
[Spotlight] Prince Thalie (C1-C2 routes)
Last time I introduced prince Griselde and his subliminal dagger (sorry but it’s true), so let’s move on to the next candidate: Thalie!
Minor spoilers ahead: the setting and characters of the route are revealed.
[Spotlight] Dynamic shots (+RenPy 3D camera)
At first I did not plan to write about programming at all, but then it struck me during the Kickstarter campaign that it was actually a much needed talk so here goes!
This preview includes some dynamic shots as well as multiple examples of the zoom in action
[Spotlight] Prince Griselde (B2 route)
As I mentioned last time, Chronotopia: Second Skin is divided in several routes, each corresponding to a different strategy to escape the castle. What I didn’t say is that, even though she won’t be able to romance all of them, Kionna will encounter several princes depending on which route you’re reading. So I figured it would be nice to be a little more familiar with those dreamboats~
Minor spoilers ahead: the setting and characters of the route are revealed.
[Spotlight] Game structure & Fleur the farmer (B1 route)
By now I have introduced most important characters in Chronotopia: Second Skin so let’s talk about a less obvious subject: game structure.
The turning point: 2nd option will be unlocked in the game’s full version.
