Hey everyone!
== December Payments Paused ==
Just part of the usual update reminding folks that billing for the month of December (when Patreon normally charges on Jan 1st) has been paused! If you are a recurring Patron you will NOT be charged.
IMPORTANT: If you are a NEW Patron, you will be charged immediately for the ...

This is the last 'negative' update I have planned for a while. Hear me out entirely so you know what's coming up for the future of House Chores. It's not all bad news!

Got official confirmation today. The previous lead artist for the project is no longer interested in working on the game due to person...
2020-11-24 04:04:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
As I mentioned in the last update, starting this month, any month where I don't suspect an update will be released, I am going to temporarily pause Patreon charges. As expected, I don't see an update releasing this month unfortunately so all Patrons should NOT be charged on December 1st when Patreon usually does their billing. If you are just pledging for the fir...
2020-11-14 05:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
First up- I want to apologize for the severe lack of content/updates over the past two months. I've had trouble figuring out how to write this post properly.
To put it blunt, I'm having issues contacting someone who I rely on in order to actually create content for House Chores. Over the past two months, I don't believe any progress has been made at all unf...

Here's a look at a sketch for the next upcoming scene in House Chores! This sketch is actually NOT the one we are going to move ahead with but the actual result is still very similar. The new pose is a little more comfortable for the main character ;)
Apologies for such a delay from the last update. ...

I've been refraining from announcing a release date for the new update but now I know for certain that the new update will be live tomorrow for $5+ Patrons! (~Aug 25th for public release).

Hey everyone!
Today is a pretty short & sweet update. The required/planned artwork for this update is all finished as it's a bit simpler (two new overworld scenes). All that's left now is for me to actually put it all together and get the storyline started for our 'neighbor'.
However, personally, I've been struggling a bit since I have so many things on my plate this...

At the moment, we are stepping aside from Julie's story to start working on more interactions for other characters! This time, the artist is beginning to work on some new stuff for the 'neighbor' shown above!

2020-06-22 20:37:49 +0000 UTC View PostSome players were mentioning that they couldn't actually progress in the new update at all. I looked through the code of the progression system and I believe I found what was causing it.
The original download link was changed to Beta 0.3.1 so this build should fix it. I will be keeping my eyes peeled to see if the issue persists.
Thanks for reporting this to...

Hey everyone!
If you didn't see my last update, I mentioned that I was pushing the release back by a week to give myself more time but also to potentially squeeze in another background!
Here's a look at Julie's bedroom! It's got a clean and tidied up look with a bed that looks oh so co...
2020-06-14 23:34:37 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
The original plans for the release of Beta 0.3 were planned for this weekend.
Ultimately, it looks like I will be pushing that release back by ONE week (June 18/19th?) for a number of reasons.
1: The artist is confident that the Julie's bedroom can be finished by then. (not guaranteed to be completed in time, however) 2020-06-11 04:45:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey Patrons!
I've been struggling with this way more than I probably should this entire week.
What do you think about the current method of progression versus the proposed change?

Realized I changed a value mid-testing that prevented most of the new content from being accessed. The original download link has been changed from b0.2.9 to b0.2.9.1 and should fix this issue automatically.

Hey everyone!
Been a bit of a tough one figuring this all out so I'll try to explain what's going on as simply as possible!
Spending time working on Beta 0.3 has shown me that I need to reserve/dedicate more time to House Chores per update if I'm going to add most of the things I want. There's a lot of spot checking that eats away at my time. However, I promised I'd rele...

There's nothing to be concerned about but I have decided to move House Chore's planned release to next week instead of this week.
There are a few pieces of art/animation that I want to work around with and in order to fit them into the build, I needed just a little more time. I do hope that these additions will be worth the added wait. I really am happy wit...

The new $5+ Patron tier is live now!
IMPORTANT: I've noticed a few people changing their pledge to $5 before the tier was live. I believe you need to EDIT your pledge in order to have Patreon consider you under the actual $5 tier! If you do not edit this, it's possible that you may not receive the $5+ rewards despite pledging $5!

Just a short & sweet update, the PC build of HC was updated to Beta 0.2.1. Should fix that issue some were having about a notification not disappearing after most of the events had occurred. To fix it, go to MC's room where an auto update will happen instantly. You should notice the game working as intended afterwards.
