$5+ Patrons, you have your own post, with the release of Build 9.
Time for another Chastity Quest release! I'm afraid Build 8 was the smallest on record, at least by scene count (though the scenes were all a touch longer than average as partial compensation). ...
Reminder: There is an important All Patrons Poll ongoing! Make sure you check it out if you haven't yet.
Okay, seriously? This has been finished since 10:30pm last night. But the upload has been hell. I've had to cancel and restart several uploads (because the...
Update! The updated walkthrough is now finished and attached to the post as a PDF. As always, if you only want/need to know about the new scenes, simply search *New* (asterisks included) within the document.
Testing took a bit longer than I'd hoped, but the build is finished and in the process of being uploaded. Meanwhile, while I won't put up the release post until at ...
Just a quick FYI. I only just finished all the edits a few minutes ago, ugh. This was a text-heavy build and editing in this engine is a nightmare. Anyway, the edits took long enough that there's no way I'm going to get to testing this morning before I crash for the day. I'll knock out all the other remaining tidbits, like updating the Credits and such, then tackle the testing this evening. Tha...

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! I...don't ever really do anything for Halloween, hence the belated post. Despite the extra little render I did (Which I hope you enjoy!), this post isn't really Halloween related, so much as it's a set of reminders and a progress report :-p.

Alright folks, given how important this is, I'm going to try and keep the critical bits short so that more of you will actually read it. Last month, I informed all of you that I was hitting the point that I could no longer continue full-time development unless I found a way to raise more funds. The good news is that, in light of some improvement to the Patreon funding AND some upcoming overhaul...

Woah! I was actually planning an entirely different set of posts (the polls of November) to go up today...and I might still put them up later. But I woke up to the biggest single-day surge of patrons in months, which finally pushed the Patreon over the $500 goal line! That goal has been tauntingly close for the last few months, so much as that I kept considering counti...

This actually should have been done on the 19th, but I was drowning under stuff for the Haven's Port release at that point, as well as starting to feel like crap (I'm feeling about 70% better now, thankfully). So, it's four days late, sorry! Anyway, as I'm both super-busy working on Build 9 while also creating release posts and such for the most recent Haven's Port, I'm just going to take the e...
2020-10-23 21:57:43 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, my apologies that this is out so late. I'm still feeling icky and slept most of the day away. It's done now, though I imagine most of the scenes weren't hard to find if you went ahead and played without the guide. As usual, the walkthrough is attached as a PDF. As for the cheats, they are the same as before, merely reposted here for your convenience. I may add a few more next time, as I ...

Okay! A day and half later...and slightly smaller than I had hoped, but the update is here! The delay, of course, was caused by the fact that I'm currently under the weather. Not exactly something I could predict or avoid. Thankfully, it's nothing serious (hopefully), so it only slowed things down a by a day or so. As for the size of the update, I did hit within my target for the month...

Alright, it's pretty late in the month for this, but there are reasons for that. Unfortunately, said reasons are a bit spoilery, so I won't go into them. Suffice it to say that it was a combination of a later start and a bit of an unexpected mental block on writing a specific scene :-p. Either way, I've finished up the next installment of The Galactic Nomad, though the editing might be a touch ...

Alright! Time to get a progress report in, since I haven't updated everyone in a few days. As you can see from the attached image, I'm busily making Haven's Port renders. When the render that is running as I type this is finished in a few hours, I will have fully complete 4 scenes for the build, plus a couple of miscellaneous renders like the Cottage Sleeping image I posted with the last update...

I've contacted the host and, after arguing with them over the definition of 'unmetered' bandwidth -_-, they claim that the domain will be back up within 1-6 hours. Please let me know if there are any issues. (I wouldn't put it past them to try and limit my bandwidth use after I argued with them ...

I'd originally hoped to upload it last night as well, but I actually needed to think about how I wanted to handle the split-routes and consequences for the second Thieves Guild Quest.

With last night's release of Build 8 for $5+ patrons, it's time for another public release! There are a few things to know about this build, before I get to the links. First, for the edification of my non-patron followers, there were some problems with Build 7 that effected both the size of said Build, a well as the ...

Well, the download is being slow as heck, but I'll get to writing this anyway so I can post it as soon as it's done. Overall, I'm actually surprisingly happy with this build, despite it only have 12 new scenes. Part of that is because 10 of those 12 scenes are at least medium length, so they probably represent more total content than the 15 from last month did. However, a bigger portion is actu...

Only good news this time, thankfully. Asset capturing and editing has already been 100% finished for the additional 6 scenes planned for the build, which means I'm right on schedule. I'll be working on writing/programming for those scenes today. If I'm lucky and don't run into too many hiccups, that may get finished today, leaving just the editing pass and testing for tomorrow, with a release t...

So, good news is that I've actually finished 6 scenes for Build 8. The extra, beyond the 5 I mentioned in the last progress report, was just that, an extra. Which, since I've also upped my plan from 10 to 11 scenes needed for the build, will mean that there will be a total of 12 new scenes in the build. Of those scenes, at least 6 of them will be medium-to-long length, as well. So, it total con...
