Art Update - Harvest Ingrainment Checks, Thrallgame Art, Moov Story Art

Hello all! Though most of my work for the last while has all been UI, commission-catch-up and similar, I do have some artwork to share- and indeed, mayhaps a new format or two to indulge in!

Harvest Ingrainment Checks

For you old-heads here, you may remember that I once experimented with the idea of making a 2025-12-01 07:31:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Volition Ch.2: Page 22

Guess it's time for Plan C.

Next page next week! As ever, Chapter 1 in the attachment, and HD version of it available on https://tdl.itch.io/ that has some additional art and lore blah blah!

Enjoy!

He seems rather satisfied with the response.

Woo, we're back! Expect the next page around this time next week!

As ever, included in the attachments is the first chapter of Volition! The HD version is now available over on https://tdl.itch.io/ !

Enjoy!

November! Working on the Wagon

Wow a new month! Where does the time go eh ho ho ho ALRIGHT ENOUGH SMALLTALK

As I said, October was a month dedicated to making the gladiator game. We're now in November and though a lot of progress was made, there's still big chunks of the game that need doing for me to be happy to push it out.

However, I don't think it makes sense to do as I did in October and devote the entire mo...

Gladiator Dev Update - Week 3.1

Hallo all, been a bit quiet while I've grinded on this but I've managed to hit a milestone so I thought it would behoooove you all to see where we're at!

The gladiator model is, finally, done! Or at least, done to an adequate level to allow me to put it in the Unity Engine and actually make a game out of it. The mp4. footage has been included below of the animations I'll be using, just so...

Gladiator Dev Update - Week 1.5

Hello all! Progress report time!

Would've been a couple days sooner, but...well it wasn't. So. So we're here.

O_O

Anyway, the first chunk of time on this game has been decided on the particular pieces and mechanics of how the combat's going to work *while* making the character artwork, and finding out through making said artwork what will be feasible to do come the fina...

Thrallworks Update 30/09 - Petra Scene Added!

Hello all!

In this update, I took a view as to what I could reasonably finish before October, and thus managed to finish off the 'Background Characters' system, where you can read details on characters in the background and- for some- further interact with them!

Our example character in this instance is 'Paradise', based on Petra's model, who you can interact with in the Medi...

October Project - Thrall Gladiator Game

Mornin' all!

As you may have been aware if ever you sat in on my streams or have actually read any of the blah blah I type up along with these posts, I’ve been planning on doing some kind of one-off project to work on during October, most likely a game of sorts.

After a few too many months of humming and hawwing...

Volition 02- 20

...Well? Everyone's waiting.

_____________________________________________________________

Not much additional to say other than this one took a longer time as I redid a panel on page 15 that I also include here; I realized I needed to at least show Suki noticing them coming in, as I feel it'd make an awakward read in the future.

As ever, included in the atta...

Art Update - Awakening Nikiru, Awakening Me!

Raaaahhhh I liiiive

As I thought, the irl things did drag on for around another week, but we're carrying on- one cannot handwring over unavoidable woes. Expect the next Thrallworks update to be around the middle of next week and the Volition page a few days before it, along with a slightly reworked previous page that I realized I needed to do in order to smooth the narrative a little.

Thrallworks Update 02/09 - Plus Some Domine Set Things!

Hello all!

A late one this one, and the smallest of small updates but reasons will be revealed.

As expected, the thrallpod scene requires more than just 2 weeks of work to get done- so in recompense, I spent some time finishing off a Domine commission from a lot time ago and uploading it into the Thrallopedia. I'm wanting September to be a month for working on getting that backlog o...

Thrallworks Update! 08/14

For this update, I added the opening animation!

The animation is not 'complete' by my standards, but it's pretty close and it can serve for the time being-- also there are aspects of that scene that will be inched out over time as a part of the plot anyway, so it being a little unclear in its nature isn't so bad anyway and what tweaks I'll make to it may just be minimal.

The opening...

Volition 02- 19

Behold, the devil incarnate!

_____________________________________________________________

Thinking I need to change up how these're going to go public and what to offer here- I think when we hit page 20, I'm going to keep that 10-page buffer frozen and post up 1 new page publically for each one posted here- but here, I'll be including textless art versions as well. Seems f...

Art Update - Index Entries and THE GODDESS

'Lo all!

Just a bit of an art update to tide you while I work on the next page of Volition and the main game. Volition work is proving challenging if I'm honest, but that's probably because my creative engine is running so hard it's kinda tearing me apart and it's a struggle to stay linear on something as difficult as page-roughs.

Anyway!

• Goddess Yi Lin! - I've been lo...

Thrallworks Update! 07/30

For this update, we repaired and re-added the Thrallopedia!

I also added Labourers to the Thrallopedia, and for whatever reason the Secretaries were disabled so I re-enabled them. Now I've just got to add the Harem thralls into it and we'll be all caught up on already made Thrallopedia entries!

I also fixed some bugs a few people pointed out regarding game freezes when certain stuff...

Whew, making TW Updates again slowed this one down. 3 in 2 weeks seems rather ambitious right now, but we'll see how that fares as we go.

A Name, A Chain [A Movement Story]

Nikiru summons her bodyservant to her chambers, intent on helping the girl remember where she came from to help control her better...at least, that's what Nikiru believes she's doing...

"Oh, hi Nikiru! I was wondering who'd called my body!"

Nikiru smiled politely, trying to ignore...

Thrallworks Update! 07/17

LOOKS LIKE THRALLS ARE BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

We're back with the TW Updates! Delayed a couple of days because the project was more borked than I thought, but I've brought it back into a state where I won't cry to start writing up these updates and giving you content and stuff.

I'll be leaving previous versions of the game up for download on the 2025-07-17 02:01:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Art Update - Index, Sketches, Gladiators, Writing!

The result of a $10 suggestion stream and a $5 Poll!Rather happy with it, next Art Update I'm hoping it'll have attached attributes and actions. Shall we poll more Gladiators out? I'm not sure. There might b...

The State of the Union - Hocus Pocus

Madies and Gentelgren, the state of the union is…STRONG!!

Though not without its hiccups. Indeed, I wanted this written out a month ago, and now here we are in the thick of June- perhaps that’s as fine an analogy as any for how things have progressed since the start of 2025.

Enough of the intro though, lets go over the year hence, what was done, what will be done with it, and ho...
