February Short Story Poll

Alright! Poll time! I've dropped The Starship Promise from the list for this month, not because I'm not going to continue it at some point, but because it currently calls for a follow-up poll that I don't feel comfortable that we'll have time for this month. In its place, I've offered a continuation of the Cursed Clothing short from last month. Note that I've also switched up the story for Gala...

February Plans and a Request

Alright, I know I need to get the monthly polls up. In fact, I'll be doing those later today. But I felt the need to make this post first. Before I get into the why of that, which will likely end up being more rambly than I'd like, I have a request. Specifically, the request is for those of you who may have accounts on F95zone or 2022-02-05 13:49:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Haven's Port - Build 12 - Public Release

Okay, with yesterday's release of Build 13 for Patrons, it's time for Build 12 to go public! All things considered, I was fairly pleased with this build. While it's one scene short of my original goal (an extra date for Sylvia is missing), I came verrrryyy close to squeezing everything in. A...

Walkthrough and Cheats for Build 13

Alright! About a day behind the release, which is pretty typical, I've got the walkthrough done. Cheats are unchanged from last time and are as follows:

---------------------

New Cheats (Build 11-13)

NiceThings = +2000 Gold

GoldenGirl = + 10 Fame

WhoNeedsPanties = + 10 Nymph Points

LacyLife = + 10 Sedutress Points

ResetPoints  = Se...

Haven's Port Build 13 ($5 Patron Release)

Whew! It's ready! At least for the initial release. I'm going to warn you up front that I'm expecting bugs. I got a little punch drunk hazy with tiredness while doing the testing/bugfix phase, so I have suspicions I may not have done as solid a job as usual with that. Particularly as I had some very strange bugs/errors this time. It doesn't help that my testing document kinda crashed halfway th...

A quick note

Regrettably, my day job contracts over ran enough today that I didn't quite manage to finish the build yet. Given how close it is to midnight, it's not going to be done before the ISP maintenance starts. On the other hand, I'm close enough to finished that only something going badly wrong will prevent me from uploading it as soon as said maintenance is over. Hopefully, that will be around 5am. ...

A Quick Progress Report

Okay, this is mostly good news, but only mostly. By the time I crash in an hour or so, I should have all the programming, writing and editing done for Haven's Port Build 13. That just leaves the testing/bugfix and upload for tonight. The writing in particular did take longer than I'd have liked, but it's largely done. 

The bad news is that, if things take as long as...

Progress Report

Okay! Considering that every other reward for the month is actually done and already out for once, this progress report can be pretty simple. In short, Haven's Port is currently going pretty well. Despite losing over a week off the front of the month due to the overun of Left Hand Magic and a couple of days spent extremely sick, I managed to render a full 14 scenes for the build. That'...

The Side Gig - Finale- Upper Class Patron Release

With the release of Stranded on Silas Station (Part 3) for the Royalty tier members, it's also time to bump another of the previous exclusives down to the Upper-Class tier. In this case, it was/is the Finale of The Side Gig (The Side Gig - What’s in a Happy Ending?). This was the first (and so far only) one of the ...

Stranded on Silas Station (Part 3)

Okay! Time for the comic/mixed media short. Just about when I had predicted it, too. That's a nice change. Even nicer is knowing that this is the last reward for the month save the Haven's Port release. And it's coming along just fine (I'll post a progress report tomorrowish, probably).

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how this particular entry in the Stranded on Silas Station series turned ...

Old Rewards Archive Updated

With the release of both The Curse of the Naughty Apprentice and The Long Haul: A Kinky Race, it's also time to move December's stories into the 2022-01-22 22:05:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Short Story - The Long Haul: A Kinky Race

Alright! For once, I'm getting the second short out well before the end of a month! I'm pretty happy with it, too, even if it did (as I mentioned in the last progress report) come up a bit shy of the normal 5k target word count. It wasn't that shy, thankfully, clocking in at just over 4,250 words. And I honestly felt that adding more to it would have lessened it, rather than improved i...

Progress Report

So, time for another progress report. And, miracle of miracles, everything I have to report at the moment is actually positive. Don't get used to it! I know I'll try not to, as if I do I won't be ready for the next ambush by Murphy's Minions or the dastardly henchmen of Writer's Block.

Haven's Port

Things are going pretty well here! I just finished up the last rende...

Shorty Story - The Curse of the Naughty Apprentice

Alright! Time for the first short story reward for the month. For Royalty Tier Patrons, also be aware that I released the wallpapers a few minutes ago as well. 

As for this short story, this one is a rare case of being fairly directly inspired by something. Specifically, it was a combination of rem...

Royalty Tier Wallpapers

Time to get some of these rewards delivered! This one is another case where you extra-awesome handful are getting a tiny sneak peak, too. Specifically, a sneak peak of the critical new NPC for this month's Haven's Port release. Mistress Ryoia is a high-ranking member of the Order of the Rose...and all Rosegirls wanting to become Acolytes pass through her!

As usual, I've attached zip files...

Progress Report

Okay, so I actually have rewards to post, but I figured we were overdue for a progress report first. Ergo, I'm posting this now, I'll post the rewards either sometime tonight, sometime tomorrow, or some mix of both. Anyway!

Haven's Port

So far, this is actually going pretty well. I've got 5 scenes completed and another one partially done. Which is particularly impre...

Progress Report + Poll Results

Alright! Way past time for a proper progress report for the month! 

Haven's Port Focus Poll/Progress:

I honestly hadn't a clue how this one would play out. The result was pretty unambiguous though, with the Order of the Rose winning handily. It took almost 75% of the vote, in fact. I suppose at least part of this is because the Order has had more actual showing...

Guide for Left Hand Magic

I'm going to be honest here, this isn't really that needful yet. But I want to be on top of it for when things get more complicated later on. So, there's a PDF attached with a guide to where all the points and scene differences are in Build 1 of Left Hand Magic. There also aren't any cheats yet...that will probably be something added in Build 2 or 3. Right now there isn't a lot of point in them...

Left Hand Magic - Build 1 Release!

Wohoo! Finally. A day later than I thought would be the maximum delay T-T. But, that was the whole illness that. I once again apologize for this being so late, everyone. That said, I won't belabor the point longer. If you just want to play, you can skip the next bit by going down to the the TL;DR line. For those that want to hear my musings on the build, just read on :-).

Build 1 (the fir...

Left Hand Magic Progress Report

*Edit* Testing is done. Just need to add the few bits of music and fix the animation that's currently re-rendering.

Okay guys and gals. I'm alive, more or less. The previous two days were basically a haze of pain and suffering. I've been very sick a few times in my life, including once or twice that I was outright hospitalized when I was a kid. This was the w...
