Tree Dad Theme

Svyatibor is neither a tree nor a dad, but god dammit if it isn't too funny to call him that, so that's his canon nickname for the time being.

Anyways! I really love how this came out. It starts off genuinely intimidating, as he does ingame before you know what to make of him, but after that transitions into evoking a far wider sense of emotions; it's kinda tribal, ancient, almost plainti...

Deepwoods Monster pt1

Not all of these may make it into the deepwoods intro area, but you'll run into them over the course of the deepwoods. The greatsword hob has gotta be my favorite, tho the wisp girl is pretty cute too

July 18th Weekly Update

FINALLY got Celica's first scene done this week! It's... very long, dwarfing any other lewd scene in the game, with more foreplay and aftercare than others. Nor's great work on the CG variations means it's essentially a second sprite, so hopefully it'll be fun to see in action~

Beyond that, I got Metatron's CG ingame and her scene in progress. Once I finish that, there's a bit of plot to ...

Happy Wife, Happy Life

Maya is an angel who has never done anything wrong in her life. Also, the cat tribe genocide didn't happen, and if it did, they deserved it.

I decided not to go too hard on the smug/brat for this post, aside from one outlier; this is mostly just cute wholesome Maya. 

What that tongue do, tho?

Siofra Horni

When only you can prevent forest fires, by dousing the flames of the fire elemental's lust!

Surprisingly absolutely no one, Siofra is exactly as FUCKING FINE beneath that divine dress as you might hope. Whether dangerously horni and dominant, or surprisingly wholesome with a lethally sweet smile, I need her to float onto my fucking DICK.

Also good for floating footjobs, now that I t...

Sam Poll

I'm planning on updating the opening within the next two updates, adding a new character, rewriting some of the cringe, etc. Part of that is deciding exactly what to do with MSam.

The original plan with MSam was to use him as a vehicle for MMF content. No NTR/cucking stuff, but threesomes. Unfortunately, I vastly underestimated the effort needed to write two ultimately separate characters...

Maya Bullying Compilation

Now, one might reasonably ask exactly how many expressions of Maya panicking, broken, or derping are necessary.

They would be wrong, because there's no limit to how much this little shit can derp.

God I love Maya.

As always, all credit to jiffic for realizing this adorable monster!

July 10th Weekly Update

The amount of holiday spillover and family aggro this week was too damn high, I just wanna write man.

Still, I got a pretty decent amount done this week.

Shortbows are ingame now, with a pretty wide variety of skills and a few magical archer skills. Playstyle wise, it's all about rotations; almost every skill applies decent debuffs/statuses at a high rate, and some have synergy with...

Upcoming Characters Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

The Empire Lewds Back

Yeah uh anyways these are the same characters as last time, but with some aspects updated or reworked. So Cassiel, succ mommy, knight mommy, and fairy... ok she's not a mom but old enough to be one, so maybe she qualifies? Wait, Cassiel is older than any of them, so maybe she's the one true milf here???

Anyways, I kinda want to jerk off Cassiel's outfit, I LOVE...

July 3rd Weekly Update

Another decent week! Despite holiday/family aggro stuff messing up my friday/saturday, still got a good amount done.

Finally breaking my less than stellar record with romances, it only took 2 days instead of 2+ weeks to get through Celica's 10 affection romance scene, which I'm actually really happy with, I think it hit a decent mix of awkward teenagers, wholesome, and some surprisingly c...

Kandros Preview

Taking a short break from Siofra's incredible thighs, I realized earlier that I don't think I ever previewed Shark Gandalf! While admittedly not quite as busty as some of the girls (sorry Maya), he's still a handsome, imposing devil, with some similar vibes to Kuril, but much more mystical.

Similar to Kuril he is rather unlikely to be a romanceable girl, but a minor character with some sc...

Siofra Expression Previews

Got sidetracked for a bit, buuut here's some shots of Siofra's final art! I'll show versions without the vines (or clothes) in the future, this is just a shot of her default appearance along with the fire alt.

So... first off, Coubalt is kind of a god. I LOVE the golden tree/leaf designs on her dress, they look super cool, and the vines are also a nice touch. Even the fire has some flower...

June 26th Weekly Update

Great week overall! For once, it wasn't heavily commission focused LOL, so I got a lot more game stuff done.

In particular, we got somewhere around 10k words of Ashley, covering her 8, 10, and 12 trust arc. Some big reveals about her, a lot more meaningful of a bond to transition her into a real friend, and most importantly, a couple of hugs. Because I know you're all here for heartwarmin...

June 19th Weekly Update

Yes, we've had commissions week, but what about second commissions week?

Memeing aside, this was a pretty solid week overall. Commissions did indeed move along, with very talented artists busting ass to deliver stuff faster than I had even hoped!

Siofra - the vila forest spirit you'll run into early in the deepwoods - now has finished art, and BOY FUCKING HOWDY did Coubalt go all ou...

June 12th Weekly Update

If last week was mechanics week, this one was commissions week. Didn't get as much writing done as I'd hoped, but made phenomenal progress on various other things.

In particular, we have an *amazing* Celica lewd CG in progress from the talented Nor, designs/lineart for both the upcoming dommy Vila mommy in the Deepwoods as well as the upcoming ara ara big sis in Badon thanks to Coubalt, M...

June 5th Weekly Update

Ended my break and got back to work this week! As usual, this was kind of my 'tech debt' week, fixing bugs, improving aspects of the code, making the UI slightly less dogshit ugly, getting some comms started, etc.

Probably the main draw would be the progress menu updates; each window is now far less arcane, with better explanations of what stats do, visual organization of available abilit...

Thank you for the support!

I'm hype as fuck that we finally broke 300 a month, and immensely appreciate both old and new patrons for helping us reach this point!

It's pretty good timing too, lmao. As I do more and more commissions I was running pretty hard into the limits of the budget. Since I spend 90% of what I make from Patreon on the game directly (the remainder goes to bills/internet), each dollar here actual...

Metatron Lewd CG Sketch

As always, the usual disclaimers apply - this is not the finished product, and credit for drawing it goes to the artist, SunsetSkyline, not me.

That all aside, god DAYUMN, this art got me acting unwise. She'll have a few expressions (and a creampie), but this is already looking really fuckin tasty. Love the way her hair is splayed out beneath her, and can't wait for the smile later.

Deepwoods Theme Preview

As always, work in progress preview rather than final work, and all credit goes to Ubercrow not me.

As for the music tho, hoooooly FUCK I love it so much! It's such a perfect mix of mysterious, mystical, and beautiful - perfect for a world almost lost to time, one of the few places in Hieroneiden where forest spirits still walk the world, elementals flourish, and you might even run into t...

Divine Dawn 0.20c Update!

Changelog;

-Sam has a new sprite, courtesy of Coubalt, going from 8 to ~35 expressions! It can also get naked, which features in her first lewd scene. She also got a titfuck CG with 9-ish variations, also provided by Coubalt!

-Metatron romance also moved forward; she'll get her first lewd scene with a CG of her own next update~

-Ina gets a pretty chunky camp scene, showcasing ...

May 22nd Weekly Update

The update is "done," by which I mean it's in beta, and after 1-2 days of fixing the inevitable torrent of bug reports I'll release it properly. I don't want to repeat the trainwreck that was the 0.18 release.

This week, I mostly focused on Sam's stuff, finishing her romance and first lewd scene! Coubalt's fantastic CG lent itself to quite a few variations, 9 in total I think, so hopefull...

May 15 Weekly Update

Is it May 15 already? Fuck bud.

Surprising no one, Sam's romance took longer than I had expected, exactly like the last fucking 3 in a row that I apparently didn't learn from. 

HOWEVER, I'm very happy with how it ended up, and that part is done. It's also much improved by her wide array of new expressions, ended up with around 30-35, many of which are used there!

Family ...

Ashley Battle Theme (Final)

Been so damn busy this week with development (Sam romance start done! Now for lewds...) and IRL that I forgot to post this, my bad. But this came out wonderfully, so I wanted to share it!

I just really love the power rock in there alongside the softer piano, it's such a wonderfully Ashley mix of vibes I can't get enough of it.

May 8th Weekly Update

Bit of a slower week due to the usual suspects of romance shenanigans and Ina holding up the plot, but things are still bumping along!

Weapon swapping and the general equip system are all functional and... pretty-ish, so depending on feedback from the update and balance developments, I should be able to touch them up and then worry about adding new weapons in the future.

Got a few c...

Sam Paizuri Preview

Coubalt really got the expressions nicely on this one, I feel like it tells the story of Sam's first attempt at paizuri well! Starting off nervous, getting competitive/smug as she gets into it, and not having anything planned for when she gets splattered in baby batter. There's nothing cuter than a suddenly girlish tomboy, and Sam is out to prove it by accident.

I can mix and match the ex...

Ashley Battle Theme WIP

I'm not sure if you guys actually like seeing the WIPs as compared to only the final versions, but I got this last night and was pleasantly surprised. It's a fun mix of power metal, pretty stuff, and just... general Ashley-ish vibes.

Sam Sprite/Expression Preview

Yeah so uh I just realized I hadn't actually posted these yet, woops.

Anyways, here's Sam's final art, courtesy of Coubalt! Casual, workout, nude, and combat outfits, or 'outfit' in the case of being naked, with a decent variety of her many new and updated expressions. And a ponytail, because ponytails are hot.

I'm personally overwhelmingly fond of the workout outfit, but they're al...

May 1st Weekly Update

Great week overall!

Allies can now gain masteries, following the same rules as the player (20 uses, go back to camp, pick one of two). Characters with normal abilities (ex. Metatron, Sam) all have mastery progression, those with special abilities (ex. Maya) will be updated later.

You can FINALLY fucking swap weapons freely in camp, and acquire skills based on that! No more being har...

Maya Sketches Preview

The usual caveats apply that this is a WIP sketch rather than final art, but I really liked how she's looking so I wanted to share anyways!

Our beloved tomboyish goofball is a malfunctioning mix of ninja, hero of justice, and thieving scoundre-I mean equal opportunity acquisitionist; please note that the justice scarf stays ON during sex. That and the daggers are both toggleable, though, ...

Art/Release Sync?

I wanted this to be a fun surprise, but my plan for this update was to get some nice-quality HCGs for Metatron and Sam's first times, from some of the artists I enjoyed the most + had open commissions.

Both have been very busy, so idk if either/both pieces of art will be ready in time for the tentative release date I was aiming for, 2-2.5 weeks from now.

Would you guys rather I wait...
