With the release of A Virtual Trap (Part 1) for Royalty Tier members, it's also time for a previously Royalty-exclusive to be released for the Upper Class tier folks!
In this case, the story in question is fourth and final Cyberworld entry! Something of an Epilogue, Part 4 jumps years into...

2023-05-22 08:16:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! One more reward knocked out! This story is something I've played with the idea of on and off for years. As far back as Eros Academy, when a version of the thought inspired one of the original Eros Academy shorts. It's nothing super special or anything, I just never quite worked out how to make everything fit together into a short well enough to write the original idea. As for what it i...

Time for a progress report! Overall, things are going reasonably well, so I'll just jump right in.
Left Hand Magic
This is going as well as I expected, honestly. I've finished all rendering for Talia's four scenes, meaning that we're currently sitting at a total of 7 with their renders done. I also have the first animation for one of Revina's scenes done as we...

Alright! Very much past time I did a Progress Report. Let's dive right in!
Left Hand Magic
So, I mentioned in the poll results more or less how this is going. So far, I have three additional scenes for the early game done, along with the first two days of Talia's Week 4 route. I'm working on Day 3 now, with some hope that I'll get the first animation for that ...
2023-05-15 06:15:02 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of The Starship Promise - Key to Success for $3+ patrons, it's also time to move one of the previously-exclusive stories into the general archive. As it happens, it was the previous entry of the same series The Starship Promise - An Overheated Rose, that has now bee...

Alright! I...uh...got distracted. Which means this is a few hours later than I'd intended. But it's here, at least! Regardless, The Starship Promise: Key to Success, is attached in the usual pdf format. I'm pretty happy with the result, too. It's a tiny bit shorter than average, only hitting just over 4,200 words. But, on the other hand, it also had a few images, just like the others f...

I admit, I'm quite pleased with this result. I was hoping eith...
2023-05-13 11:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this is technically a poll result announcement too. The Virtual Trap won this month's Mixed Media Poll! This is a new story, and I haven't decided if it should be a cyberpunk type setting or a fantasy setting. I mentioned in the original poll that I'd put up another one to let you lot weigh in on that! This, then, is that poll!
Note, since I need to get started ...

First off! Don't forget that the polls will be ending soon. The MMS poll for Royalty Tier will end in 23 hours (and is currently tied!). The others will each end a day later. Make sure you get your votes in if you haven't already!
With that reminder out of the way, progress so far as been a bit sketchier than I'd like. Mostly do to a few appointments and life events that ...

Okay. Last time I mention this. There is still a data-collecting type poll open regarding the Future of the Patreon after Haven's Port. I've left it open specifically for anyone who only follows Left Hand Magic, since ...
2023-05-05 22:54:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Poll time! And this one is short and to the point. The primary goal for this month is to get the rest of the early game sorted out. But that's only going to be a small handful of scenes. The remaining content will focus on Week 4.
Here, however, is where I'm giving you guys a choice. Arianna and Trix already have their Weekday content done for Week 4. Revina and Ta...

Alright! Build 20 released for $5 Patrons yesterday...which means today it's time for Haven's Port Build 19 to go public! I was quite pleased with Build 19. Eighteen new scenes, with roughly 115 new renders between them, made for a pretty sizable build. Even if it doesn't match the huge 148-render Buil...

Whew, got it done before midnight, as I'd hoped. I do apologize for the day delay...but given the build size I'm reasonably happy with just a single day of delay. It's a BIG build, after all. Nineteen new scenes, most of them medium or large size, 148 new renders in total. With Build 20 all six of the Patron Spirits are now in the game, with their paths complete. And Rose Garden is...<...
2023-05-02 03:44:12 +0000 UTC View Post*Edited at 6:45am* Yep. Writing and Edits are finished, along with all the little stuff like the credits update. But I ran out of focus/energy before I could start on testing. Going to crash. Update should be out this evening. Possibly early into the AM on the 2nd if the conversion-upload process chews up too much time.
As I pretty much expected, I'm only just wrapping up...
2023-05-01 03:28:02 +0000 UTC View PostNot much point in a full progress report, so I'll try to keep this sort. Currently, I've finished the coding for Build 20 of Haven's Port. And I'm at 6/19 for scenes written. I fully expect to get another four scenes written before I crash in a few hours. Which will put it at 10/19. Unfortunately, while I'm 99% sure I can finish the writing by late morning on the 30th, that will still ...

Okay, actually that gasp was sort of appropriate?
Good news first. All renders for Haven's Port are done and post-processed. Yay!
Sort-of-neutral-news next! There are 146 of them. For reference, a normal sized build is usually 100-110 renders. A 'large' build is usually 1...

2023-04-08 15:34:59 +0000 UTC View PostOkay! So, I've put a temporary pause to my rotation of 'old stories getting new chances.' Mostly because...one of them actually succeeded in getting enough votes that I updated it! As such, for at least this month, Eros Academy's reboot-of-sorts is back in the polls. If you missed it, that series got an entry in March, with a new character visiting the academy. 2023-04-04 03:59:40 +0000 UTC View Post
So, this poll is pretty straightforward this time. The primary focus of this month's Haven's Port build is going to be getting the remaining three 'Patron Spirits' of Jerta and Rose Garden in the game. That will only make for a total of, at most, 9 scenes, however. Albeit, probably with each of those nine scenes being rather long form. Even so, I expect to get at least another 8-10 scenes in th...
