Sorry for the silence this past few weeks. I have been doing a lot of thinking about the future and have been procrastinating a bit with posting. There a few issues that have come up and I want to be completely open with you about them. This is a long post, so I appreciate anyone who reads the whole thing and leaves a comment to let me know your thoughts.
Note: As of today, I have paused ...
2025-08-03 22:36:16 +0000 UTC View PostJust dropping a line to let you know that I am making good progress on the next update.
The poll results mean that we will have a scene in the Jasmynn path with **drumroll** a Bachelor Party event!!
Here's what I have already finished:
Fix the Save function. Done!
Introduce the CumCounter and BodyCount ...

2025-06-08 15:46:37 +0000 UTC View PostFirst things first, as you may have already seen, the Jasmynn path won the Path Poll for this update, so that will be the focus. I have also launched the Scene Poll for this month, for Patrons $19 and up. The poll offers a couple of options for what kind of date Jasmynn will send Becca on in this update --- the winner will be a game event! As a reminder, Patro...

As you can tell from the picture, we have reason to celebrate!
The polls for this update's content aren't even finished yet, and I've already found and fixed the issue with the saves!! The changes also affected the old code that I had used to allow for custom save names, but I was able to locate some code that worked in the new API, so that function has also been added back into the game!...
2025-06-01 12:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostWith the public version of In Their Own Hands ver. 0.1.5 now out of the way, I am shifting focus back over to In Her Own Hands.
First, the Path Poll is now available to Patrons $9 and up. It will be open until Monday at midnight, and be made public as soon as the poll ends. 2025-05-29 04:49:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Time for the Path Poll for the next update of In Her Own Hands!
This game is all about our female protagonist "Becca" and the different people that have helped her along her sexual awakening. Vote for which of these paths you want me to focus on for this month's update. I have also included a miscellaneous option for "non-sexual corruption" which may include things like crime and...

Note (changes from alpha release): I did fix two main bugs----one major, one minor----that were present in the alpha release. First, the major one: Satisfaction wasn't decreasing on the "Make it work" path, whic...

The extra couple of days helped a lot. I was able to resolve one of the errors relatively quickly and made some changes that seem to ...
2025-05-21 22:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostI apologize for the very slight delay. I finished the content for the new update last weekend and have been testing the last few days.
While there are no coding error alerts, there is some kind of bug where some of the "Meanwhile" scenes while the MC is at work are just not loading. I am working to try to isolate the error so that I can figure out why it's happening in some instances but ...
2025-05-16 01:32:16 +0000 UTC View PostWanted to drop a line giving my progress on the next update.
First, I am aware of the issue with saves on In Her Own Hands. The problem does not exist on ITOH. I tried everything I could by myself, and when that didn't work, I reached out to a community of other users of this language. I have some clue about what might be happening, so I am going to spend some time later...
2025-04-20 11:32:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe last update introduced some new bugs making the game unplayable. Here is a new version that should have fixed all of these bugs.
Basically, the compiler was converting two of the variables into symbols during initialization ---- it had never done this b...
2025-04-14 13:34:03 +0000 UTC View PostAn interesting discussion took place on a certain other adult gaming forum. One of the fans of In Her Own Hands took it upon themselves to add a few lines of custom code to the game's HTML file, in order to count how many orgasms "Becca" has. This is similar to another idea that I had and have wanted to implement for a while: a "Body Count" statistic. Now that I know that there are at ...
2025-04-12 00:39:32 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised, a quick bugfix update to address the issues with new events in the "Just the Tip . . ." section.
2025-04-10 13:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to drop a quick line about development:
First, I have been informed of some errors that occur on the "Just the Tip" screen for the new content in In Her Own Hands. I will be taking care of those errors and releasing a very small public update this week. If you have encountered any other bugs, please let me know asap.
Now, onto the next update, version 0.1.5 of <...

2025-03-20 02:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been a few bad weeks since the last update. The day after posting the last update, I came down with a very bad flu --- my temperature went up to 102 degrees (Fahrenheit)! Last weekend, my daughter came down with the same thing, so (even though I was still sick myself) I had to spend every ounce of energy I could muster trying to take care of her. Needless to say, I was not able to work a...
2025-02-24 00:38:50 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I missed another self-imposed deadline. The only reason that I can offer is that work has not slowed down. I can dedicate a lot of time to working on the game on weekends, but weeknights I can only manage a little bit.
All that said, I have managed to get all of the coding framework finished and all of the media processed. I am about halfway finished with the actual writing of the s...
2025-02-10 09:49:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe results of the Path Poll for In Their Own Hands v. 0.1.5 are in and the winner is . . . "Cuckold - Jenny female preference." The Scene Poll to choose among a couple of different options within this path is now open for all Patrons at $19 and up.
Beginning this month, the Scene Poll will now also allow Patrons to make their own suggestions!

While some content will cross over between multiple paths, you can vote for which path will receive the greatest amount of attention this month! This will likely mean 1-2 large scenes or sequences of smaller scenes.
The paths that won the previous polls do not appear in this month's poll.
The poll will remain open until midni...
2025-02-01 22:49:05 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick note to let you know that I am almost ready for release. I just need a few days---I am hoping to finish by Sunday evening.
In the meantime, I will be releasing the February Path Poll for In Their Own Hands tomorrow so we can get started with the voting. February is a short month, but I may still be able to turn the next update around relatively quickly depending...
2025-02-01 04:46:40 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year!
It's a special one, because this is also the anniversary of the debut of In Their Own Hands, launched on New Year's Day one year ago. This year has also been quite momentous for In Her Own Hands, as I reworked a lot of the code and made significant improvements and was able to take over the writing duties for several updates already.
As expected, b...

The next In Her Own Hands update (0.8.2)
