Alright everyone! Aside from hitting up a bunch of the usual places that I drop notices about updated, I took most of yesterday and today off. Most of, since I'm intending to tackle some asset searching and a bit of short story work in the early am, now that I know the poll results. Since those are sort of relevant to the plans for the month (very relevant in one case), I'll tackle those first....
2022-07-05 06:35:29 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! I've updated the route guide in include all of Build 4's new content, even if most of the additions are pretty obvious. It still might be useful, since included are any extra unlocks or points that can be picked up. As well as an overview of all scenes and basic route overviews. I also took the time to create a Table of Contents this time, so you can find what you're looking for more e...

With the release of Build 4 for $5+ patrons just a few hours ago, it's also time for the Free Public Release of the previous Build.
I was and am pretty pleased with Build 3. There are 14 new 'scenes' included, 6 of them animated, and each of the animated scenes are two-stage an...

Uggggghhhh. Finally done. Even after getting some sleep, the issue with the gallery took some time to run down. And then I ran into a whole other issue trying to build the APK version for the release. I ultimately had to transfer the files over to my old laptop and build it there, because there's something screwy going on with the JDK install on the new one. I remember having the same issue wit...
2022-07-03 00:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostOkay guys, I really thought I was going to have the release out this morning before I crashed. I had everything but the testing of the gallery code done. And that should have been one of the quickest things of all. That was...two and a half hours ago? I think? It's a little blurry at this point and that's sort of the point. For some god awful reason, ALL of the new gallery ent...
2022-07-02 14:32:37 +0000 UTC View PostFirst! Don't forget about the two polls still running. Arianna's Kink Poll and July's Haven's Port - Focus Poll are both important to their respective games.
That said, I did want to give a quic...

2022-06-28 13:06:34 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, I put this off for a bit longer than I wanted on account of the whole 'being sick' thing. But I need to get it underway. For anyone that hasn't been paying attention, this poll is to determine a possible Secondary kink for Arianna. A similar poll has already been run for Trix, resulting in Tr...
2022-06-26 07:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostAlright folks. First thing first. As I mentioned in a post to some of the higher tier patrons already...I apparently wasn't actually over being sick. And I'm still not. I hate doctors with a passion, having had a lifetime of little but horrible experiences with them. So the fact that I finally gave in and went to the Doc yesterday so they could prescribe me something is...telling. Mostly about ...

With the release of Silas Station: Consequences (Part 1), it's also time to move one of the previously Royalty-exclusive Mixed Media works into accessibility for Upper Class Patrons. In this case, the work being moved is the first(and currently only) issue/part of A Bet Maid. In which two best friends have m...

I'm alive! Sorry it's been like six days since I last posted. I've been somewhat sick and, added to dealing with complications in development, I sort of lost track of how long it had been since I posted. Time got kinda...blurry for a few days there. I'll get to the complications in a bit. First, poll results!

2022-06-13 13:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, folks! I mentioned I'd be running this a couple of times, but I'll cover the point here quickly for those that haven't been paying attention. As I hope you know by now, each of the girl's of Left Hand Magic has their own basic kinks already. Arianna is an exhibitionist, Rivena has a thing for bondage, etc. In the case of Trix, of course, this 'primary' kink is her chastity bel...
2022-06-10 23:14:58 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Polls ended at midnight last night. So, before I crash for the day being the nocturnal creature that I am, I figured I'd give myself a headache by doing the math for the Short Story Poll. And, once that's done, there's just not much point in putting off posting the results. Without further ado...

Okay! So...first thing's first. I actually need to talk about Haven's Port for a moment before anything else. Normally, not something that happens a week after its release. But, thanks to the efforts of George Lever (thanks George!), a bunch of bugs were found. I've added an updated .html file to the Build 15 download post that can replace your existing game file to fix the bugs for new 2022-06-07 12:45:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Ta da! Surprise! I bet you were all thinking these weren't going to be a thing for Left Hand Magic. Wrong! In point of fact, I'm actually planning to allow more feedback polls for Left Hand Magic than I do for Haven's Port, giving you all a chance to shift a few bits and pieces as things develop.
These polls have been absent from LHM so far because, sim...

It's that time again! With the release of Build 15 for my $5+ Patrons yesterday, Build 14 is now free for the public!
I'm quite happy with how this particular update went Sixteen scenes, several of which actually have variants, making that number a little...fuzzy. Fuzzy in the direction that there are act...
2022-06-01 22:32:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Made it before midnight! Yay for 100% on time completion of all rewards! Feels nice! Anyway, there actually are a couple of new cheats. To be honest, I mostly made them for my own use in testing. But they'll be valuable for those who want to play new content without relying on old saves, I suppose. That's essentially what I used them for, after all. Basically, they are just suppe...

Update: All downloads have been updated to include the Build 15.2 fixes.
*Slightly less important update* A number of additional bugs were found, mostly centered around heavy cheat use to rush through the game. I've attached a new set of HTML files (which include the fixes from the others), as Build 15.2. Honestly, if you're not HEAVILY using cheats, you probably ...

As usual, since I've released a new comic/mixed media reward, one of the previously Royalty-Tier exclusives is now being released for the Upper Class Resident Tier. In this case, there's a nice bit of synergy, as the Royalty Tier folks just got Stranded on Silas Station 6, while the one coming off Ro...
2022-05-31 03:27:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis isn't a proper progress report, but I figured people might want some idea what to expect. Thankfully, everything is good news for the moment, as far as the rewards go. I've completed coding/writing for Haven's Port, and already gave it an editing pass as well. All that remains to do is testing. And possibly a couple of quick fixes for old issues if I have the time to squeeze them ...

2022-05-28 00:25:18 +0000 UTC View PostAs I suggested would be the case in my Progress Report earlier, I did manage to get the editing pass done on An App for That (Part 2). I'm mostly happy with how it turned out. The one thing I'm not completely satisfied with is that it didn't get as far along as I'd have liked, despite being over 5,300 words. I'd hoped to get more into the mental commands and alterations sectio...

Well, I'm more or less on time for the progress report this time, so that's a plus! (I'm trying to do them every 3-4 days, if that hasn't been clear). I've also got good news, mostly. So that's also a plus! Now, let's take these one at a time.

Haven's Port
So far, so good. I've knocked out five scenes so far, with another one in progress. That's pretty rapid for only 4 or so days of work, but 4 of 5 complete ones were the easiest planned for the build. Specifically, they were a quartet of scenes intended to flesh out some e...
