Version 0.11.1 has now been released for patrons at the $5 level and up. Since patrons are given a 1-month head start, that means 0.11.1 will become publicly available on September 3rd. This release will include any hotfixes that may be created before that time.

Long Live the Princess version 0.11.1 is now available to download for patrons.
After two months of serious Primrose business, I wanted to make something a little lighter and funnier for this update. There's no real story progre...

Hi everyone!
Many of you have probably already received emails about this from other Patreon creators, but I felt it was best to inform you all anyway.
Something happened with this month's pledge charges that caused many of them to be declined. Long Live the Princess wasn't hit as hard as many others, but I still lost more than 20% of my patrons in one fell swoop today, though that n...
2018-08-02 19:44:10 +0000 UTC View PostLong Live the Princess version 0.10.1 is now available for everyone.
This version is a weird one. Its purpose is to fill in the most important blanks from 0.9, so there's not much actual story progress or many new scenes in it. The biggest new feature is that you can now interact with Primrose after she gets arrested as well as continue the investigation so that you can potentially free he...
2018-07-28 05:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs we move closer to the end of the month, I find myself rapidly running out of time. Luckily, what's left to do is relatively straightforward with little actual writing but lots of code juggling and rendering.
I've been working on a new scene that builds upon a previously explored game mechanic (being vague here to keep some surprise for later), and it's clear that I've learned a lot sinc...
2018-07-27 14:29:49 +0000 UTC View PostWell, here we are again. I don't want to reveal too much about version 0.11 of Long Live the Princess, lest I spoil the fun when you finally get your hands on it. :)
I've been mostly working on finishing up the stuff I mentioned in the previous progress report. My 0.11 image folder now counts 71 renders, and that's not including 22 "special," smaller renders (it'll make sense when you play...

As you can see, Belle has been poring over the poll ever since it closed, trying to make sense of it. Of course, she can't read but doesn't know that I know that.
The final tally had 85% of you pick the option where I delay an update for a few days to move it into the following month. 9% want me to keep things the way they are and deal with double charges as they happen. 6% had other opinions, m...
2018-07-09 19:05:39 +0000 UTC View PostWow, we're this far into July already? Where does the time go? Guess I'd better update you all on where the next version stands.
The last two months were a little tricky, resulting in somewhat dark content matter with little sexy stuff in it. Version 0.10, in particular, was probably unsatisfying to most because of how it had to spread itself thin to fill in holes in game logic. It's one of the ...
2018-07-08 14:31:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs all of you know, I enabled Charge Up Front for this Patreon campaign last month, which solves a lot of problems. However, it does introduce a different kind of problem that I'd like to hear all of your opinions about.
Up until this point I've been releasing new versions of Long Live the Princess at the end of the month. Each release tends to bring a wave of new patrons. Releasing late in the ...

2018-06-28 13:46:23 +0000 UTC View PostLong Live the Princess version 0.9.0 is now available for everyone.
This version focuses almost exclusively on story and puzzles, much like the first few updates for the game. In other words, don't expect much sexy stuff in this particular update. That will be coming in 0.10. :)
In version 0.9, Samarra gives you one week to prove Primrose's innocence in the murder of Truthsayer Merek. If y...
2018-06-28 04:16:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe number of days left before the next release is dwindling fast, much to my annoyance. There's so much I'd love to do but so little time in which to do it. Because of the nature of this update, I have to spread my efforts thin as well. Most of my efforts so far have been focused on the prison route for Primrose, allowing you to not only continue your investigations while she's locked away but al...
2018-06-20 14:08:35 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, after almost a year of waiting, Patreon decided to give me access to their Charge Up Front feature. I have enabled this for Long Live the Princess. What does this mean for you, my patrons? Read on to find out.
New patrons: You will be charged your full pledge amount the moment you pledge. After that, you will be charged the 1st of every month. The downside to this is th...
2018-06-15 10:14:21 +0000 UTC View PostWell then, it looks like we're past the $3500 goal, hopefully for good. That means we'll be getting side stories in the game. What does this mean in practical terms? Not much right now, but I'll start adding this over time. Most importantly though, the fact that we've achieved this goal shows that I've got the most awesome patrons I could have wished for. Thank you, everyone! I really, really appr...
2018-06-12 14:21:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I've been a little quiet lately, and for that, I apologize. Version 0.9 took its toll on me, that's for sure. I've been slowly getting back to my senses after the craziness that was the whole Primrose investigation event. It's left me somewhat winded. Writing that beast gave me tons of respect for game designers who create puzzles and complex stories for a living (hang on, isn't th...

This version opens up more of the Fey Court story that was unlocked as a stretch goal for this Patreon. Most importantly, it allows you to visit the Fairy Queen and face a dreadful prophecy. There is also a followup scene to the river scene in version 0.7.
There are only two brand new scenes in this update, but...
2018-05-27 04:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostOh boy, creating version 0.9 has been a frustrating, demanding process. It's definitely been the most mentally exhausting update I've made so far for this game, and I'm far from done.
Usually, when I create these updates, I spend most of the first two weeks of the month making renders, with the final two weeks focused more on writing, scripting, and testing. This time it has been the other way a...
2018-05-19 12:34:28 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week, another progress report.
This week I have been focusing on setting up Samarra's primary content for 0.9 (and most likely, 0.10 as well). Her schedule is expanding with this update, which means that she'll now only appear at the training grounds in the mornings, while she'll stay in her tent the rest of the day. Of course, this will expand further as the game's development proceeds,...

Yeah, that is a flowchart you're looking at (kinda). I have pixelated it to avoid spoiling anything specific, but let's just say that the majority of that chart concerns use of our good old spells.
This was what I originally intended to add to the game with version 0.6, but I couldn't make all the pieces fit together. I banged my head against the wall for a week, gave up, and went...

This version introduces a couple of new gameplay mechanics. Most importantly, however, it also introduces the first real fey creature since Belle. This fey comes in the form of a female dryad. Most of the major content in this update focuses on her.
To gain access to the new content, you should start by ...
2018-04-29 04:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostSorry about this, everyone. I'm always embarrassed when I release something that has a bug in it. 0.8.0 wouldn't trigger the new river scene if you loaded an existing save where you had already triggered the first part. 0.8.1 fixes this problem. Hopefully, no further hotfixes will be needed.

2018-04-13 14:10:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time for the first progress report for version 0.8 of Long Live the Princess, but there's not much for me to report yet. So far, I have focused entirely on a single new scene, which extends the river scene that I introduced in 0.7. I suspect a lot of you will enjoy what I'm making for this scene. 17 new renders are done, with more coming.
While I don't want to go into specifics yet, I expec...
2018-04-05 15:34:31 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.7.0 of Long Live the Princess contained an unfortunate bug that caused the extremely important map icon not to appear in games loaded from previous versions. Version 0.7.1 fixes this bug. You can find the download links below. The original 0.7.0 post has also been updated, and the old downloads have been removed.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
