Surprise!

I know most of you probably didn't even notice that I went away for a little bit! (and that's okay)

The truth was that I was suffering from writer's block and hadn't produced anything for months. Thankfully, I've gotten back into working on the Doll and am in the very early stages of a possible sequel!

The plan is to release everything in two parts: up to the club this...

Office Politics

Even though I've been a little quiet I've been squirreling away get a look for my games that I'm happy with. And when someone reminded me of this little game I figured it was a chance to try thing out and see how everything works.

It's very short, you can probably do everything in an hour or less, and the text is old and more terrible than normal, but there's plenty of scope for addition...

January '24 update

I've had a few weeks free, so I've been working on Tales of Lust and Delacriox. It's been a fairly productive time and I've gotten everything to work more or less how I wanted thing.

I know that some (all?) are more interested in The Doll (or even my other stuff), but what I've done here I can now port back to The Doll which is the plan after a little more work on this.

Happy Little Holidays

Hope everyone is enjoying the season and I'll see you with new stuff in the New Year!

Still Kickin'!

So Summer has been a little rough for many people I know, but it really did a number on my sleep. This left me lethargic with no real energy to create anything.

On the days when I had some, I've been doing conversion of old RAGs games, all legit obs, to Twine. Apart from pure conversion being les...

The Doll - Update 11th July

With new images for the Bouncer and Barkeeper, who as you can see I've made female in this version, that should be all of the characters needed for the story so far.

Doll Plans

Hope everyone who celebrate enjoyed Freedom Day, and if not I hope your Tuesday was pleasant!

Now that the Redux version is out in the wilds and people seem to like it, hello new people, I'm going to start thinking about the next stage. This months focus is going to be on getting Dollz up and together, it already got a few options but I'll look at a few more.

Beyond that obviously t...

Return of The Doll!

When I started converting The Doll, back in the long, long ago's nieve little Nandi tried to do a straight one-for-one from the RAGS version. The thing is as I've grown in my knowledge of Twine I've realised that as it's at heart a CYOA engine you don't need to be quite so literal.

So when a piec...

The Intern, update 1/4/23

So I'm doing things a little different for this game, but carefully sourcing images rather than just getting them randomly from the inernet.

I'd already found a female image I'd like, from stock images, but I couldn't find a male look that quite worked for me. So on the off chance I reached out to Gregor Daniels, a lovely TG artist, to commission them to create a male face for me.

I...

An apology and an update

So towards the end of last year I was feeling a little burnout and uncreative, so I decided rather than charge people for nothing I'd pause billing. Then as time went on and nothing was really fortcoming I parked the whole page so not to have to worry about things.

Thankfully more recently my creative juices have began to flow again and I've got a new idea that I'm putting time, money and...

Happy Halloween!

A quick surprise for Halloween, one of my older complete games converted to Twine. It's a little rough around the edges, wanting to hit the date and all, but it (should) be a complete finishable game!

A little pause

So the last few months have been a creative void for me, with little or nothing really to show from them. Things are getting a little better as we get into fall, but at point I think it'd be unfair to charge anything more without anything to show for thing.

So the plan is to pause for a month or two and come back when I have actual stuff to share.

Summer in the city

This past month, or so, has been a little sweltering and very nonconductive to work. So I'm afraid all I have to offer is a small update and not for stuff people were expecting.

So quick and dirty update to Yu and Mei. As well as a tweak to the look of the game i've added a few new places and action, no new week yet but we're at a good place for that going forward.

Redux, redux

Even when I'm a little quiet I'm generally busy trying to improve my skills with Twine, I feel unless your challenging yourself you're really not growing as a creator.

And this is a problem with The Doll which was one of my earliest games, which was designed more like an old RAGs game with room being reused throughout without using Twine's way to it's best advantage.  It also had som...

Rough few weeks

So things were going pretty well until I lost my phone that I used to log onto Patreon. Obviously, things are now sorted but it's put me a little behind sorting things out.

I promise a lot less drama, and maybe new stuff for all you lovely people new and old!

Doll Download

Since I last updated I've been working hard on things and have enough to share with everyone! The whole look and feel have been tweaked to get things to work as required, and we have around two dozen ending that you (should) be able to reach.

Still a few tweaks before its release ready but I thought you'd all like to see the progress so far.

March(ish) Update

Just shy of the line, but I've been hard at work! I've been hard at work plugging in endings to The Doll, fifteen so far!

All I need to do is connect the plot to the end and I'll release a version for you all to test, expect something in I'd gestimate a week or so.

I also got permission from the author to convert a classic RAGS game to Twine, as soon as I have something to show I'll...

February Update

It's been a productive month with me achieving quite a lot, but it's all invisible behind the scene's stuff that doesn't look like progress.

I've been playing around with the mechanics behind Yu and Mei and am at the point to start working on week two of the plot. I've also made so minor progress on Raven Girl, though not enough to really share yet.

Finally, I've been working on a c...

Quick Update

So like just about everyone I finally caught the dread virus, don't worry I'm on the mend and weirdly the recovery time has given me time and energy to do a little work on stuff. 

I'm afraid it's not quite enough to share beyond just images yet, some are just tweaks to how things play, but as soon as I have something good enough to share I will let you all know.

A new year quicky

Hopefully everyone is doing okay recovering from whatever celebration they've been having. After a busy month of earning eating money I'm relaxing a bit as we go into '22, which includes my birthday!

I've been playing around a little on converting another of my RAGS games, well a conversion of someone elses, not sure how far along I'm going to get but you'll be amoung the first to know. 2021-12-27 23:21:56 +0000 UTC View Post

A plan!

So I've been giving it some thought and I've decided to change the focus of the Patreon, kind of! The money you kindly donate will help pay for the upkeep of my website where I will be posting links, and hopefully embedded versions, of my games.

In practice, this won't affect the material I'm creating, just how I'm focusing on things. 

For anyone interested this is how the site...

So Apparently not...

I was hoping to regain that creative spark, but right now it's not happening. Now  I could probably coast by and none of you would be bothered, but that feels disningenious, so for now I'm pausing payment. Definately for November, maybe right until the New Year we'll see how things play out.

Urm yeah so...

This month was not a good creative month, summers end caught me on a creative low and I needed to recharge the batteries a little.

For those still about, and no shade on those that have moved on, hopefully things should get better as we move into spooky season!

More Mei

I apologize for this being a little late but this last month has been a little trying, but he's the last few bits of week 1 of Yu & Mei. 

Updates in 0.1.3:

     - You can now practice Tai Chi in the park.

     - One of the work events trigger a small scene, with a minor sexual assault. This does add

Slow but Productive

The last month or so had been a little hectic, including a fun day yesterday around a breakdown, but things have been going more or less well.

In terms of games things have progressed with some back end stuff that allows me to do something easier and focus on the important text track. Whilst tranfering this all to The Doll, ready for the literal end game, I noticed that I missed something...

You Wake Up

I apologize for the silence over the last couple of months, our two weeks of summer and jab sapped my energy for a bit. On the plus side, I've been experimenting and improving my coding that improved it, and also that all my games seem to start with the character pick up so that's a plus.

I  was hoping to have this done for yesterday, happy relevant independence days, but ...

Return of the muse

So like most last year hit pretty hard in many ways, including creatively, and the ideas just dried up. As a quick look back will tell to the point I almost gave up completely. Thankfully this year looks to be busy and after a quick round of gender and body swap movie I feel inspired to create new stuff.

The above screen shot is from a new game tentively titled Yu and Mei, my a...

Scrapeception

So first hello to all the new people its always nice to see new faces, and new support, I hope you enjoy the (slow) ride for however long you stay.

First the basic update stuff. New Doll will come out this month, hopefully, a good portion of the Dollz stuff, |’ve also been revamping some of my other stuff to the new format hopefully I’ll share those soon-ish. I’m also tentatively wo...

The Doll 0.4

It took a little longer than I planned but I finally have the first half of day three done, here the story really starts to branch so it was a little more complex than before. And as you can see I've also been playing around with the visual look of the games.

It still needs some work, I know of at least one bug that'll need a rebuild of portions of the game, but after that, I s...

Practice and no bad reviews

For those that maybe are waiting on The Doll, you may be wondering why I'm off doing these other games instead of working on The Doll. I know this isn't for everyone as I've gained a few new followers thanks to Office Politics, helo new people!

Whilst it was originally a one and done palette cleanser Office Politics is actually my most competent game so far. With a clean slate ...
