Update on The Elven Maid Reward

So...I have bad news, neutral news, and good news. I'll tackle them in that order.

The bad news..I was wrong about not actually being sick -_-. Apparently, I never actually got over that sinus infection I had earlier in the month (probably because I stupidly went traveling while suffering through it). So when the last of the antibiotics left my system, I got sick again. Or, at least, that's the ...

Eros Academy 2.10(Beta) Release!

As promised, early in the A.M. on Wednesday! I actually finished around 2am, but walked away to try not-dying for awhile while it uploaded. On that note, before I drop the links and release notes, I'm just gonna mention something quick....

My next priority is obviously the The Elven Maid reward for the $5+ people (and for the $1 people to, since I'm pretty sure the next part of that is ...

Update

I finished the renders (6 of them) for the additional Eros Academy scene over the weekend. I'll start the coding tonight. It's nothing complicated...but I also need to restore the project files for Eros to working order after the O.S. wipe I recently did. That shouldn't be hard (I already did so with The Sexy Cosplay Cafe project files) but it means a little extra time. Overall, unless I hit unexp...

Updates - Various

Alright! I'd actually intended to post this yesterday...but I was uncertain what to do with the fact that The Elven Maid poll came out as a tie. On that note:

The Elven Maid - Normally, I just go with my personal preference when ties occur...except I don't actually have a personal preference in this case. The two options that tied were my two preferred options. I think ...

Elven Maid Poll

Huh, this is the first time there's been an overwhelming victory for a reward :-). That it's for the next chapter of The Elven Maid is a pleasant surprise. Doubly so since I have a small amount already written for it (though obviously not much, since this poll hasn't happened yet and thus I couldn't know which branching option to write). As such, it's time for the usual follow up poll to ...

Bugfix Release

Alright. Ended up stupidly having to do the uploads twice, since I forgot to delete the persistent data from my new rounds of tests, but all the main-page links for The Sexy Cosplay Cafe should be updated with a V0.11 bugfix copy of the original release. To be honest, there were only 3 bugs reported, none of them really horrible (the worst was one of Mira's at-work chats breaking) which i...

Sexy Cosplay Cafe Opinions

Alright. I took a few days off after I released the first build of the Sexy Cosplay Cafe. I really really needed a couple of days to decompress. Not, sadly, that said decompressing worked. One of the reasons for that failure to work is that I was/am keeping  an eye on the f95zone thread that is (so far) the only place (other than here) that I've shared the game. Pretty much ...

The Sexy Cosplay Café - Release!

Wooohoooo. Three weeks after it was supposed to be done, the first build of The Sexy Cosplay Café is finally here! As I've said from the beginning, this first build of this new game is going to be public right from the start. Future updates will trickle down through the patron tiers, but in order to generate interest...well you get the idea. 

I'm going to wait a couple of...

Just a quick progress report (Cosplay Cafe)

All the things from the previous lists are done. Except the testing. I've just spent the last 6-7 hours straight playtesting and debugging and I'm maybe 70-80% done. If I was well, I'd probably just push through since I don't work later today. But, I'm still under-the-weather and I hit a point where attempting anything more right now would likely cause more harm than good. So, sadly, it'll probabl...

Progress Report - Cosplay Cafe

Still sick...but medicated enough that I feel at least a bit better. I've also chewed through the rest of the chats and all three of the dates, as well as knocking out all but one of the 'Minor UI' things that needed done. The remaining things to do are:

-----

Tutorial - Not really hard, it just had to wait until everything was in the game. Going to take an hour or three t...

Uggghhh - Progress Report

So, definitely sick. Specifically, I apparently have a sinus infection. Which is making it feel like someone shoved an angry elephant inside my face and it's trying to stomp it's way out. Thankfully, I was able to get some meds, so hopefully it won't last too long.

For the progress report...thankfully I wasn't fibbing when I said I can write even when feeling like crap. Not very quickly, but I c...

The Sexy Cosplay Cafe - Progress Report

Okay. Bad news first. Apparently I came down with something while traveling over the weekend (I was in a nursing care facility visiting my remaining grandparents...so it's not exactly a shock I was exposed to something). Or possibly before, since I was honestly feeling under-the-weather before I left. I figured it was just changing around to a day-schedule from my usual night-owlness but... Anyway...

September $5+ Reward Poll

Sorry this wasn't up on the first! I've only just returned home from my trip and I was having trouble with Patreon over the weekend -_-. Since it's not going up until nearly the 4th, it will run through the 15th. With a 5-day follow up poll if The Elven Maid is chosen. 

One quick update before the poll...I'm once again grinding away at the code and writing for the new game. I shoul...

Payment processing issues, month 2

@(#-&(-#. I've been trying to make this post for the last two days, but Patreon refuses to play nice with any of my mobile devices. All of the adult patreon creators got a notice a few days ago about potential payment issues agian this month. I've included a copy of the email they sent us, but please double check that you're payment to any adult creators (like me) have gone through properly :-...

Eros Academy 2.09(Beta)

Alright! This was actually done something like 3-4 hours ago... Unfortunately, it took that long to upload them. I never really realized that my usual habit of uploading in the early A.M. probably got me better upload bandwidth -_-. Though, on that note, I TRIED to switch everything over to JPG...but something with a few of the skins doesn't play nice and the results looked terrible to me. Thus, t...

Just a Quick Update from a Mildly Loopy Developer

So, technically, the code for the month's Eros update is done. But I didn't have the time and energy left to test it. Plus, I want to squeeze in a quick couple of changes someone over at F95zone mentioned (nothing big, just the option to lose tennis and volleyball matches on purpose, since it's all but impossible to lose past a certain point). As such, expect the update to come out later today. Pr...

Renders Finished

I've finished up the renders for this month's Eros Academy Update. As often happens with me, it got a tiny bit out of hand and ended up with 27 renders instead of 20. Though, part of the reason for that this time was that I was using a fair number of premade poses, which makes things easier on me. 

Anyway, as you can see from the image attached, this month is adding a Massage optio...

Well *Bleep* (Progress Report attempt 2)

*sigh* I had a nice long explanatory post written early in the A.M. this morning, only for it to be wiped out by a power outage as I was editing it. As such, I'm going to make a long story shorter.

I horribly, horribly, horribly underestimated the amount of code I would need for the first build of The Sexy Cosplay Cafe. I've already written the equival...

Progress Report

So...I can already tell I won't be releasing Sexy Cosplay Cafe today. I just didn't get enough done over the weekend. Which isn't to say I didn't get quite a lot done. I spent something like 10-12 hours working on it and added quite a bit in. 

The peeping scenes are functional, including one that is a critical element to Mira's story (meaning that I actually had to put that part of...

Yeah, that's what my week working on the new game has felt like. On the plus side, I HAVE made significant progress. As seen in the image attached, the game is now fully populated by the girls, at the times and place...

Progress Report

So, before I report on the new game, the reward poll for the month has ended. The extra scene for Eros Academy won outright this time and thus will be this month's reward. I'm slightly disappointed by that, given that I have some of the next Elven Maid written already, but it's not a huge shock. They've regularly been tying, after all, so even a single person either not voting, voting differently,...

Progress Update

So, I did get the inventory sorted out. I ended up making my own from scratch since the various versions of Renpy inventories around the net were quickly deemed by me to be hilariously over complicated for a simple VN. Technically, what I made is slightly on the crude side, but only slightly. It is more than adequate for the limited amount I'm intending to use it, at any rate. It's mostly only the...

Progress Update

So, it might not look like much, but the above image actually represents a fairly major technical step taken care of for the new game. One of several, as a matter of fact. After my grumbling, bitching and moaning a few days ago, about how I was going to have to use Renpy again, I put my nose to the grindstone with said engine and started grinding away at the UI elements that the game is going to n...

Yeah, that about says it all. After two and a half days messing with TyranoBuilder, I've basically determined that it's a code-illiterate, GUI driven, and striped down version of Ren'py. For making, say, a kinetic novel or a super-simple VN with nothing but a few branch points, it's probably pretty near ideal. ...

Normally, I provide these to Patrons first, but I promised a sneak peak...and this one is conveniently not pornographic enough to violate Patreon's public post rules ^_^.
