About the Future

Alright, folks...I've been dreading this post. But it needs doing. I'm going to be blunt and rip the band aid off quickly, but please read all the way through. The basic truth is this:

I can't maintain my current pace for more than another month.

Many/most of you probably know that, about 5 months ago, I lost a lot of my day-job work (Covid related, like m...

Haven's Port Build 3 (Public Release)

With the release of Build 4 for $3+ Patrons, it's time for Build 3 to be released to the public!

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

I managed to get 10 scenes into this Build. In point of fact, depending on how you count them, there could be considered to be 13. However, as 3 of those are variants on...

Haven's Port - Build 4 ($3+ Patron Release)

$10 Folks, you have a post with Cheats.

With that out of the way...sorry this is technically being posted in the A.M on the 22nd instead of the evening of the 21st. There ended up being a LOT of bugs...including the need to basically completely ...

Haven's Port - CHEATS and Walkthrough

Update! The updated walkthrough for Build 4 is now attached as a PDF! As usual, if you only want to find the bits about new content, simply search *New*  (asterisks included)  in the document.

Alright, Build 4 is uploading as we speak. I'll cover why it's almost midnight when I said it would be out this evening in the actual r...

Quick Note - Haven's Port

Update: Coding/Writing effectively done. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I was intending to add the Cheats Menu for $10 + patrons this month. And, as I actually had to do some research to figure out how to do that in TWINE, it sucked up too much time for me to get to the editing pass and Testing before I ran out of steam. The Build should still be out tonight(Monday Night), however....

Old Rewards Archive Updated

With the release of part 1 of the new story, A Galactic Nomad, for $5+ patrons...it's time to update The Old Rewards Archive again! This month, the story moving into the archive is Part 4 of the Mass Effect: The Final Error. Which, as always, has been combined into a file that includes all current pa...

Short Story Reward - September

Whew! Okay. To be honest, this has been mostly finished for several days. I've simply been burned out badly enough that I was having trouble finishing the sex scene, which is normally the easiest part to write. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the result, in the end. I have a lot of ideas for this series...but I wanted to go with something quintessentially sci-fi feeling for he first introduction...

Haven's Port - Progress Report

Alright! I apologize for it being longer than usual between progress reports. Unfortunately, a few minor regular-life disasters reared their heads in the last several days, resulting in me losing some development time, as well as being too busy running around trying to fix them to put up a progress report. The good news is that, despite the additional delays, I'm just about done with the 8th sc...

Chastity Quest - $3 Patron Release

I actually meant to put this out yesterday, then do a progress report today. Unfortunately, various things conspired against me. So, this is going up now, with a progress report being added early tomorrow (probably). Followed, hopefully, by the short story release for the month sometime tomorrow evening. For now, however...

Haven's Port - Progress Report

Sooooo...on the plus side, I think the attached render may be one of the best I've ever managed. I've also managed to complete 2.5 scenes, in addition to the various needed renders for the Pet Shop itself and another semi-new location.

Progress Report (Haven's Port + Short Story)

Alright, as I said yesterday(ish), I have a progress report for everyone.

First, the new short story. Since it's a new story entirely this time, I needed a few days to get my thoughts in order on it. I had plenty of ideas jotted down, but I needed to sort out which one would be the best fit to introduce the setting and main character. I want this one to feel properly like sci-fi,...

Notice of Goal Update

So, I'll likely have an update on how the Haven's Port build is going tomorrow. But today, I needed to make a change that's been a month or two in coming. Specifically, the $500 goal for the Patreon was no longer practical. Up until now, it was that I would add sound to Chastity Quest at that level of support. Unfortunately, we've now gotten so far into Chastity Quest (roughly 150 scenes as of ...

Haven's Port - Pet Shop

Alright, first...the attached image is only a test render ;-). The lighting still needs some serious tweaking, and I'd like to add some more bits and pieces. A rug or two, some more items hanging from the right-hand pillar, possibly a mannequin with the pony gear on it? Not sure about that last one. Anyway, the point is that it's an incomplete image. Though it did take...

Haven's Port Build 3 - All Patrons

Right, it's been two week (actually two weeks and a day, but I took yesterday off) since the release of Haven's Port for the $3+ Patrons. As such, it's time for All Patrons to get it. I actually...forgot to do that last month. Seriously, if you guys ever see me forget a reward, send me a message or something and I'll fix it! If there's ever real delay's I explain them.

Chastity Quest Build 7 - Walkthrough & Cheats

Surprise! I realized I still had the time and energy to go ahead and knock this out before I crashed, rather than wait to do it tomorrow evening. As always with the walkthrough, if you only want the new stuff, simply search *New* (WITH the asterisks!) in the PDF and it will take you to said new stuff! Also note that, in addition to the Walkthrough update, I've also added 3 new convenience cheat...

Chastity Quest Build 7 - $5+ Release!

First...I'm going to channel Han Solo for a moment and say, 'It's not my fault.' Specifically, the game has been done since 8:00pm CST, and I started the upload process at around 8:20pm. The Windows upload to Mega finished in like, half an hour...but the Mac upload and the upload to my web host are still crawling along at 11:30pm, as I write this. I apologize for it likely being after midnight ...

A Quick Note

Sadly, didn't quite make it for a morning release. I think this build is cursed or something, since I had two separate blue screens of death (which do happen to this PC rarely, but usually like twice a month or less) wipe out bits of work. Nothing major, just enough setback to keep me from quite managing to finish this A.M.. Good news though, in that I'm finished with everything but the testing...

Poll Results and CQ Progress

Alright, Chastity Quest progress first, since it's just a quick note. I'm actually a little bit ahead of my schedule, so it's possible that I might release Build 7 early in the A.M. tomorrow(the 2nd), instead of sometime tomorrow late-night, as I originally thought. Not that the change will probably matter to most of you. Unless you're major night owls or play porn games before work in...

Chastity Quest - Progress Report

Mostly good news, in so much as there can be such under the circumstances. While I've confirmed completely that I'm going to have to rebuild the version of Skyrim I use after this Build (again, I have backups of the character files, so very possible just time-consuming), I've thankfully also been able to make enough bits and pieces temporarily function to get a fair few scenes done for Build 7....

Chastity Quest - Some Issues

Ugh. So, this isn't a happy fluffy bunnies and rainbows post. Rather, it's a letting you know there's been a rather serious problem, post. Specifically, the heavily modded Skyrim installation that I've been using for Chastity Quest...may have bit the dust. (Don't panic yet!) Earlier this month, in an attempt to resolve issues with both DAZ3d and Skyrim, I reinstalled Windows 10...

Chastity Quest Build 6 ($3 Patron Release)

Ugh. Apparently I need to make an actual set of reminders in a piece of scheduling software or something. I was supposed to have released this for $3 patrons on the 17th but it slipped through the cracks while I was in crunch-mode on Haven's Port Build 3. Sorry guys. And I will reiterate once again, if you think I've missed a scheduled date for a reward please don't hesitate to send me...

Ick. I had actually intended to post this last night, but apparently got distracted. Sorry! Anyway, news is mostly good. I've only got about 6 renders left to do, plus a couple of partial renders (for a new clothing option). That will give the update a solid 10 sex scenes, plus some additional bits. I've also written/programmed 3 of the scenes already, and expect to do at least 4 more ...
