Now Available in Patreon Shop + On Sale!

Greetings, all!

Patreon has just opened up the possibility for creators of adults-only products to have a digital storefront for showcasing their goods. So, you'll notice a new SHOP tab near the top of the page, which does just that.

I've added Sanctuary in Time - Complete Edition (game only) as a product in that shop, which is a stand-alone, one-time purchase ...

Changes on the Horizon

Greetings, all

I've got some news that some of you may find disappointing. However, I do hope you'll bear with me and try to understand my reasoning behind making this decision.

I'm temporarily placing development of the DarkRPG project on hold, while I focus on getting a new novel ready for publication ASAP.

The Reason for This

DarkRPG Progress: Sex 2.0!

Greetings, one and all!

The moment you've been waiting for is finally here. I'm ready to do a deep dive on the new sex system I'm working on for the DarkRPG project.

Because it's an erotic computer game, the sex system is key for a project like this; in fact, it's one of the major pillars. So, I've been doing my best to leverage everything I've learned from my 3 years of development...

Now Available on OppaiMan.com

Greetings, one and all!

I was recently invited to add Sanctuary in Time to the ever-growing line up of games available on the OppaiMan Store. They're a new digital storefront that specializes in hosting & promoting adult games from Patreon. And after I checked out their operation (and found myself thoroughly impressed), I decided to jump on the bandwagon.

So, as of right this mo...

The DIY Creator Struggle

I gotta be honest, I'm struggling right now, and I could really use some help.

I left the safe harbor of my regular job in Sept of 2023, and embarked on the high seas as a do-it-yourself, independent creator. My game dev work was doing well at the time and covering my basic expenses, and I had a new book coming out shortly that I felt was my best work yet and a g...

DarkRPG Progress: New Paper Dolls System

Greetings, one and all!

Sorry for the long delay since the last big progress update. I'm still hard at work crafting the brand-new sex system for use in the DarkRPG project, and it's taking a bit longer than I initially anticipated.

This new system, while based on the same general concepts & structure as the one found in Sanctuary in Time, is nevertheless a ground-up rebuild. I ...

DarkRPG: A Quick Update + Sexy WIP Art

Greetings, one and all!

I'm currently neck-deep in the inner workings of an all-new sex system I'm building for the DarkRPG project. It's based on the same general framework as the sex system used for Sanctuary in Time, but with all-new features and exciting improvements that I hope will make it an even more compelling & life-like experience.

But this is a big system with a lot ...

Character Portrait Styles

Greetings, one and all!

I've been experimenting w/ ways to display the same character art on differing backgrounds for Dark RPG (so the same character art assets can be re-used whether you're speaking to the npc in the sunshine of the Seaside Grotto or in the depths of a mysterious ruin). And the following are examples from that in-progress development.

One has the character art di...

DarkRPG Progress: The Seaside Grotto & Characters You Meet

Greetings, one and all!

I've got a progress update to share on the DarkRPG project + tantalizing WIP screenshots. Enjoy!

What have I been working on?

What Comes Next? DarkRPG.

Greetings, one and all!

I've got some tantalizing screenshots and concept art to share with you all today. These are a small sneak peek at what comes after Sanctuary in Time; a new, text-based adult game in a dark RPG setting, which currently has a working title of (appropriately enough) DarkRPG. (And yes, I'll be replacing that title w/ something more appropriate down the r...

Types of Gender Options Preferred

Hey, gang!

Once again, this feedback will likely influence future games I create, rather than Sanctuary in Time. But I'm curious to know: If gender options are selectable for your character in a game, what options would you like to see available? (These don't necessarily have to be the options you would choose, but just the options you would like to see on the table. Select all that apply...

Importance of Gender Selection in Games

Hey, gang!

This feedback will likely influence future games I create, rather than Sanctuary in Time. But I'm curious to know how important you consider having gender selection options for your character in a game. In particular, if we're talking about an immersive, text-based experience w/ a 2nd-person perspective (e.g. "You do this" and "You do that").

Feel free t...

I've got a behind-the-scenes update on what I've been working on lately, and it's largely been engine work.

The Women Who Inspired Us

I've recently been thinking about the women who inspired me while growing up. In particular, female characters of television and film, and the actresses who so ably brought them to life. And I've realized that many of the on-screen crushes I had as a boy served to form the very bedrock for what I now consider to be the "ideal" partner, and by extension, the kind of women I tend to portray in my...
