- Multiple Endings Patch - 3 July 2025
GeneralMultiple Endings ChangeNOTEThe way multiple endings are determined has been changed. Only bad choices will affect your ending; good choices no longer increase chances of getting a better ending which would be why people would get the same ending every time.I have also seen a question about what gender the main character you play as is. The character you play as is whatever you want them to be. The character is not tied to any gender or name; you are what you want to be.I also am aware of issues or lack of features or story quality. I am a solo dev, so I apologize. I however am determined to improve this game to be what people want, that is why I have decided to go through a complete overhaul of everything from Graphics, Story, Mechanics & Features. I am excited to begin,Thank you!
- Minor Fixes & Tweaks - 15 April 2025
Hello!, This is an emergency patch to address the following: Fixed UI breaking after quitting to the main menu & trying to play a save again. Fixed Endings not deleting with new saves Tweaked the Mutiple ending calculation system. Mutiple endings correctly track & don't seem to have any issues but I could be wrong. The endings are very sensitive & could be the reason why some users might get the same ending. Further adjustments to the ending picker will be done. Thanks!
- Achievements Patch & Internal Rework - 15 April 2025
Hello!, I can safely say now that the achievement bug has been officially resolved FINALLY! The cause of this bug was found to be linked to the Skip button. When players would skip a conversation, it would completely break the games connection to the steam servers, preventing any achievements from unlocking further on. This explains why some players could unlock achievements without issues. I apologize for this bug not being fixed sooner. P.S (I am also looking into the multiple endings not changing apparently & hope to rework it to work correctly) Thanks!

- Dev Log #6 - 27 January 2025
General Hello! I apologize for the long silence between dev logs 5 & 6. However, I am back to give some insight & updates on the second half of the Aftermath update. The update is still coming but may have to release early to mid Feb, the reason for this is because of a gam jam. What Has Been Cut? A few things have been cut from the update sadly as listed. Language Settings Mac Port Sound Player The update will still have these features coming. Aftermath Side Story Preference Settings Improvements. What Is Next After this update releases it will be a while before the final side story as I going through a rebrand & working on my next project. Fame has been something I am proud to have made & being my first steam release I have learnt a lot. Thank you! -PT

General Added New Game Plus Added 6 more Snap Slots Achievement Fixes (More to come) Data saving improvements Dev Note The Aftermath Update has been split into 2 parts. The side story & prefs menu will be included in part 2 later in Jan. The reason for this decision is because the Aftermath side story needs more time for development.

- Dev Log #3 - 22 November 2024
Overview Hello! Wanted to share some news about the Quality of Life Update. All features planned for release are still to coming with the update except for the New Game Plus feature. Unfortunately, with the way the dialogue system is written it will take more time than expected to implement new game plus. The feature should be added shortly after the new update. The update is planned to release within the next few days. I update post will be made when the update goes live & will have all patch notes. Upon release, the store page will have all its art changed to match the new art style. Library images will be updated alongside this update.

- Dev Log #1 - 5 November 2024
Dev Log #1 Dev logs will be used to give insight to upcoming features to Fame & re-works. Fame is set to go through a few quality-of-life changes & I will go over the topics such as: Art Overhaul Snaps Feature New Game Plus Art Overhaul The artwork in the game mainly of characters will be completely redrawn to match other visual novel styles. However, the old art style will still remain as a setting to change between the old & new character sprites. This decision is nothing new, originally the game was suppsoed to contain 2 art styles that could be toggled but was eventually scrapped. The new art style is already in the works & should make the game match other visual novel styles, currently this art overhaul may not make it to the game until later on. Snaps Feature The snaps feature serves as the "Gallery" feature usually present in visual novels. The snaps button will be alongside the…

Hello everyone, Unfortunately, due to steams slow review process that has been going on for the last 2 weeks, Fame will no longer be releasing on the 25/10/24 AEST. Release has been pushed back but will release as soon as the process is complete. This is very annoying that we have to delay release because of this but we will try our best. Fame will release sometime during November or as soon as we get the greenlight from steam. Sorry that this is what we had to resort to. -TG
