Scene break! Well, we're just having a slight change in scenery next page, but that means we're getting a scene compilation in just a moment!
Gonna keep it quick since I just got my Covid booster and I want to get as much done as possible before possible side effects hit. But, IT'S A SKETCH MONTH! I'd put sketches/monthly rewards on hold for while I worked on the game art. &nb...

New page! It's also up on the main site. Next update, we'll have a new scene compilation too!
Not too much news at the moment. I'm still making good progress on Cooking with Belmont, and I'm practically drowning in inspiration for possible next side projects after that one is done. In case you missed it, we had another public video last week! I'm not sure if ...

If you didn't know, I've been working on a DOTU-themed visual novel called Cooking with Belmont! At last, I'm sharing our first public in-game video!
Merritt’s promised to deliver a mind-blowing dinner party for his friend Pogo’s birthday. All he has to do is keep disaster boyfriend Belmont out of the kitchen. Sounds easy enough. But what if cooking with Belmont could make his mea...

Thanks for waiting for this page! I had a weekend obligation followed by two sick days, so I fell behind. ;_; FYI, I mentioned that the previous page was the one I was looking forward to most in all of chapter 4. Well, the next page is maybe kind of the one I was looking forward to second most. :D
No one will ever know the disaster that Merritt averted in panel 4... (nor...

New scene compilation! I posted the previous scene compilation (p102-105) early because I wanted to make up for hiatus, but this block is actually best as 102-109, so I'm reposting the 4 pages from the previous compilation AND adding the latest 4 pages.
It's a super long scene, so it's not actually the "end" of the scene, but this is a good break point. If you're a $5+ patron,...

New page! We're also going to have a scene compilation today! As I mentioned with the last scene compilation, the scene isn't technically over since it's super long, but it's a natural break point.
This is the page I was most looking forward to in all of chapter 4 :P

Normally I post compilations at the end of a full scene, but this is a LONG scene that won't end anytime soon, so I'll post compilations wherever they fit. Also, since I had a couple months of hiatus, I wanted to make sure I got you $2 patrons some pages sooner rather than later.
And here are the pages!

FYI, check out Merritt's Story book 2, something in the range of ch18-ish to see just how Merritt and Lyra know each other. :) (Fun fact - Lyra was actually not originally going to show up in Merritt's Story. This was supposed to be his first appearance. He ended up getting added to Merritt...

Let's get the pain-in-the-butt stuff out of the way first: I believe Patreon syncing is currently not working on the DOTU website, but I need someone other than me to test it out before I contact support, because right now it's only my test account that's giving me issues. If you made a DOTU website account and are willing to give it a look, please log in and let me ...

Normally, we'd have the next patrons-only DOTU page today, but I'm postponing it just a bit, to jump on the aforementioned inspiration.

With all the big website upgrades, this took me a little longer to wrap up. But hey, I didn't have to take that hiatus I thought I'd need to take, at least for now!
Ch4P84 also just went public on the main site:
There were a lot of signups for the DOTU website over the last few days, so I hope most of you managed to get set up successfully!

This is the time lapse for panels 1-5 of last month's Secret Gallery minicomic. If you watched the previous 40-second video showing only panel 5, you'll see that I saved up all my drawing drama for panels 1-4.

This was a short scene, so it wasn't too long a wait for the $2+ patrons this time around. The next scene kicks off Merritt and Jordana's big scheme. It's my favorite part of chapter 4, so I'm looking forward to it. :D
