About the game
Serenity is a kinetic adult visual novel that has you playing the part of the MC... whose mother passed away from cancer. She left behind a book for him that when read, would transport him into the world of Serenity.
Serenity is not your average AVN. It does not pretend to be something it's not. It is over the top, paced quickly, and focused on happy endings. The MC is overpowered, and immediately loved by all (even with a little romance in between). Over the years I have developed Serenity, it has garnered one of three different audiences - those that love it, those that hate it, and some that are somewhere in between. Serenity was meant to be easy... a relaxing jaunt through a weird world of dream writers, dream angels, and a god of wishes and dreams... with a LOT of sex mixed in. A world where struggles are dealt with very quickly, and everyone is easily forgiven. If you can stick through the earlier cheesy scenes and dialogue, you may be surprised and you may even fall into the first category of people that love this AVN. And if you end up in the second category, well no big deal, thank you for giving it some of your time!
Developer notes +
Chapter 1 of Serenity is now complete. Currently working on Chapter 2
Serenity Chapter 1 is a separate game from Serenity Chapter 2 (separate install folders!)
You do not need to worry about moving saves over to chapter 2. Just choose the same name you used in the first chapter.
Further updates to Chapter 1 will mainly be improvements/fixes. Later there will be an overhaul of the first 6 days of Chapter 1 which will be a major update. I will announce ahead of time when work on that project begins.
Release notes +
chapter 2 version 0.6
My friends, we're finally here. It shouldn't have taken this long but what can I tell you? It did. With this update, Serenity has ONE more episode (ep.7). After that, we'll close the book on Serenity at least for now. I have even written this in such a way that it leaves room for the only sequel Serenity will ever have. Which will be a new game with new MC and new girls - and of course we'll meet some old characters. But it will be a long time before I decide to develop that one.
The finale (episode 7) will probably be the longest episode of all because I have enough content ready to do an episode 8 (almost). Episode 8 would be too short so I decided to do it all in one episode. It will also have a lot going on. The most animations, the most renders, and the most nsfw I'll do in a single episode. Episode 7 will take a minimum of 3 months, most likely 4. Just depends on how things go.
chapter 2 version 0.5
Still images added: 1321
Animations added: 33
New music added: 22 tracks
Lines of code added: 3534
Chapter 2 version 0.3
1272 images added, plus 9 animations. 3200 lines of code. 14 new music tracks (a couple of previous tracks were also reused). Development time: 5 months
do NOT extract over the previous version of your game,
Android users: I do not support android. I cannot help you if it doesn't work for you. I can only build it using the automated tool in renpy. If you have issues, please seek advice from fellow android users. Make sure you have available storage space; you might need to use a VPN to download. These are the common things I hear about. If your android is outdated, this may not work for you at all.
Chapter 1 version 1.6
This build contains all previous fixes plus making the text box wider. This will be the last "fix" update I will release for Chapter 1. Version 2.0 will be a complete overhaul of the story, graphics, and music (especially the first 8 days) and will address a list of various minor complaints I have kept a list of over the last 2 years. Work on that project will be sometime next year, possibly early spring.
Chapter 1 v1.5c:
Version 1.5c is simply the compressed version of Serenity Chapter 1 (it has the same content). Quality difference is barely noticeable.
Android build has been added (also marked as v1.5c since I have compressed that one too).
Chapter 1 v1.5:
Added option to skip one scene that may be questionable for a few. Skipping the scene will bring up a very brief description of what happened without the details of the questionable part, then continue on after the questionable scene.
Added a dialogue transparency slider in the preferences
Removed a few old, unused files that were unnecessarily in the directory.
v1.4(FIX)
This small update simply adds the final sex scene (from version 1.3) to the gallery and some missing images. There is no other new content than that outside of a few minor edits to some script.
Attached: (note: YOU MUST HAVE VERSION 1.3 TO USE THIS.) I've created an update patch that will update your Serenity-1.3-pc version to 1.4. Extract the files into your Serenity 1.3 folder, overwriting existing files. The second attachment is my 'persistent' file. Extract this to your 'game/save' folder to unlock all of the gallery.
v1.3 Chapter 1 Final
This update adds 930 images, 10 animations including a short end movie I made with a lot of renders not seen publicly yet, including early versions of some of the girls and quite a few pieces that were commissions for my Crown tier patrons. There is a bit more after that video so don't be quick to close the game - play it until it stops. Don't worry about saving, Chapter two will pick up where this one left off.
v1.2 Public
921 images
6 animations
20 music tracks
v1.1b
plus 1042 images
plus 11 animations
plus 6 music tracks
2800 lines of code
plus Day 11 and part 1 of Day 12
Serenity version 1.1b is about twice as long as my usual releases. Originally I intended to do Day 11 and all of Day 12 but I didn't want to wait any longer to release. So, Day 12 is 'part 1' of that day. Also because of this, it will seem to end rather abruptly (compared to the way I normally end an update). Sorry for this. But once the next update is out, it will flow smoothly.
This update, we'll see Kat doing some makeovers for a couple of the girls. So you'll get to see some girls with a refreshed appearance. A couple of girls will ascend, and we'll meet the last two characters that will be in Serenity (besides visitors). Speaking of visitors, we have a new one this update

v0.7b (Beta) Public
This is the "beta" version of the last update to this build of Serenity. Version 0.8 will start "Week 2" and a new build.
Included in this update:
New and improved animations (Thanks to fellow dev, Cryoxxx)
All renders in the first scene (with Trina) have been redone
Fixed a certain "punish her" scene (replaced a bad variable typo in the code)
Fixed a few minor plot issues due to changes made to original story
More music added for atmosphere/mood
I am already working to improve Serenity Week 1 (the first scene with Trina was one of the planned improvements). Further improvements include:
Completely re-render all the first scenes (outside on the island) - they were so ugly when I started out
Code cleanup and more typo/grammar corrections
Add animation for first scene with Kat in the shower
Add animation for Kat's second lewd scene
Re-render various images where lighting was just bad (dark faces, etc.) as well as POV weirdness
Once I have completed these improvements (and any others I find or you guys point out), Serenity Week 1 will be considered "Final" and completed. I expect to complete these improvements before the end of February (hopefully sooner). I hope you guys enjoy it!
v0.4
Added 76 renders
Added 4 short animations (very simple)
Corrected spelling/grammar errors found by proofreader (Thanks oonorlund) from start to current
Added 1 music track to Kat's scene (This one isn't my own music like the title track.)
Total images in current version: 1196 (if playing from start.)
