Okay! Short story poll for the month of July! Remember, as of last month, I swapped to only doing one short per month due to being a bit overwhelmed with how time intensive Left Hand Magic compared to Haven's Port. As such, New Story ideas are subject to ending up in the poll. Make sure you give such ideas a read to see if they interest you ;-). Likewise, remember that the contents of the Dunge...
2024-07-07 00:39:44 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, everyone, I don't want anyone to be surprised about this later, so I'm going to explain a few things. First, before anyone freaks out, there will be a Left Hand Magic build this month. It's just that I can't exactly make promises about how big it will be. Likewise, all other rewards will still happen, but there may be some delays here and there.
The reason for th...

Whew! Bit late getting this up, as the release of Build 18 for $5+ Patrons overran until late on the 2nd. Add in the android port now being a bit more complicated (I had to reduce the resolution for the android port, as it started exceeding maximum allowed size for Renpy Android) and I've only j...
2024-07-04 06:31:07 +0000 UTC View PostNothing overly complicated here! Just the updated guide for Left Hand Magic, Build 18. Honestly, since the Routes lock-in on Week 6, it's pretty straightforward. But I suppose it still serves as a good reference for where the new scenes are in the structure, as they are marked in the guide as new.
Much to my annoyance, I can't actually type what to search since the most recent round of c...

Edit: Android version is up! Check the release notes for a bit of information regarding it, I've been working to correct some minor issues with the Android version
Whew! For a little bit there I thought I might make a liar out of myself by not getting this out by midnight tonight. Apparently, I'm still underestimating how badly my new anxiety meds are slowing me ...

Ugh, not a lovely title huh? Don't worry, this is one of my delays. Meaning a couple of days at worst, not like a week or something. Obviously, since everything else is already out this month, the notice is about the Left Hand Magic release. I'm 100% sure it's not going to be done by midnight on the 30th. I'm about...50% sure? Yeah, I'd say it's 50/50 if it will be released on the 1st ...

Alright! I was pretty wiped out last night when I released The Virtual Trap (Part 8) For Royalty Tier Patrons. Hence not also putting this up immediately. With the release of the latest Royalty exclusive, it is time for one of the previous two exclusives to be provided to Upper Class pat...
2024-06-27 16:22:57 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Touch later than I wanted to get this out. But that was less about anything too bad happening than it was simply my sleep schedule getting turned upside down and shaken a few times for whatever was in it's pockets. The appointments I had the last too days didn't go great exactly. There wasn't really a way for them to go great. But they didn't go too badly at least. Though...

Alright! Time for a progress report! Things are mostly going pretty well, thankfully, so let's just dive right in.
Left Hand Magic
Arianna's weekday content for week 6 is entirely done now, as far as rendering goes, at least. As you can see from the teaser images, I've moved onto Talia and have already finished her Day 1. Day 2 should have been done later t...

Alright! Polls have been done for a couple of days, but I hadn't taken the time to run the weighed calculations on the Story Poll until just now, hence only now doing the poll results. I'll mostly just mix the progress reports in with the results, save for Left Hand Magic which will get it's own blurb at the end. Let's dive in!

Alright! So...I almost didn't do a progress report here. Since I'm no longer doing wallpapers or a second short story in the month, the only thing to report on until the polls end on the 10th is Left Hand Magic. Still, I should keep everyone updated. Particularly since this does go to show the difference trimming those extras out has already made.
Specifically, I'm already fully ...
2024-06-08 03:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostNow for the main event! The Focus Poll for June is pretty straightforward. While the poll is running, I'll be working on the rest of Arianna's content for Week 6 (the weekdays at least). After finishing that, however, I will start moving down the list of girls by order of popularity. As shown by this poll. I'm fairly confident I'll get at least one girl done aside from Arianna, but I'm specific...
2024-06-05 23:54:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, ladies, gentlemen, and others. There are some mild changes to this poll that I'll be playing with over the next few months. Specifically, since there is now only one short story per month, I will be including a 'new story' option in each poll. This will be various ideas I've had rolling around in my head and which might have become a one-shot (or more) when I was doing secondary storie...
2024-06-05 23:49:10 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Normally, I manage to get this out on the 1st! But having to spend an entire day reworking things for the Android Build (due to having hit the upper limits on allowed sizes for Renpy Android) threw that for a loop! Still, I got there in the end! To be honest, the Guide is mostly unneeded for the new stuff, unless you haven't figured out the unlock requirements for the alternate scenes in ...

Alright! With the release of Build 17 for $5+ Patrons yesterday, it's also time for the previous build to go public!
Build 16 extended the Arianna, Trix, and the Revina/Trix threesome routes through their Event 5 content. Trix's, in particular, was one I'd been looking forward to for a long wh...

-Edit 2- Holy mother of cocaine and cookies, that was much worse than I expected. It took something like 8-9 hours of work/coding/tests to get the Android Version sorted out. I had to do some reprogramming, rebuilding, and a metric ton of conversions. In theory however (I haven't actually tested it on an android device) the android version is now working. ...
2024-06-01 09:55:52 +0000 UTC View PostEditing is 100% done for Left Hand Magic. Testing is about 80% done as well. I still have to do the gallery after the testing though. Then conversion and upload. Obviously, not going to quite make the midnight deadline. I fully expect the Build to be up by 3-4 a.m. though. So a pretty tiny delay. Anyway, just wanted to drop a quick note to that effect. Going back to finishing the testing now. S...

Alright! Last progress report before the update. First, I'm afraid I didn't quite manage to get a short story done. I did get one partially done and might release it as an extra next month. But, with the late start to the month and everything else that happened, I just wasn't quite able to squeeze it in. I warned everyone that might be the case pretty early on this month, so hopefully ...

Holy shit. It's been like 8 days since I did a progress report. I'm sooooo sorry! Things have been a bit...chaotic. Still, most of what I have to report is good.

I've finished all the rendering for Revina's weekend event days, and all but a single still I need to go back and do for the Arianna/Talia set as well. I've even finished Day 1 (an an...

Sorry I've been a bit silent guys. I admit I've been sort of avoiding looking to closely at the Patreon Page, since every time I do I get hit with another wave of depression. That asshole that leaked the latest build has caused roughly a 25% drop in total Patronage. And I'm forced to confront that fact again every time the main page loads. At this point, if it doesn't recover within the next mo...

Whew! finally gone with this thing! Sorry again about all the delays, folks. I won't belabor the reasons and causes again. You all either already know why it's late, or else don't care enough to read the various notices in the first place. So...it's late but it's here!
I think it came out pretty decently, too. It might be rough it a spot or two, as the tenses were fighting me. I...

Alright! Time for a proper progress report. At least as much as I can do before the Polls finish tomorrow night. First thing's first:
The Starship Promise
No, I haven't forgotten about this overdue reward. In fact, I'm well into the writing for it and hoping to have said writing done tonight. With a little luck, I'll be able to edit and post it tomorrow. Sorry it's so long ...
2024-05-10 23:55:57 +0000 UTC View PostSo, first thing first, the remaining two Event 5's for the Revina and Arianna/Talia routes are the priority for the month. I have, in fact, already started on the stills for Revina's Event 5. I only got around 7 of them done today since I was also doing asset acquisitions for the two routes, but I've at least gotten a bit of momentum building.
That said, those events only represent 6 ani...
2024-05-08 03:39:01 +0000 UTC View PostOkay folks, I had intended to put this up on the evening of the 5th. But then I discovered something that was sort of 'The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back' as it were. Specifically, when I went to start doing my rounds promoting the game release, I discovered that a Patron here had leaked Build 16 over on F95Zone. Within bare hours of it's release, at that.
Normally, that ...

2024-05-05 01:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhew. So, good news! I'm feeling quite a bit better. Fever is gone, though I still don't have a whole lot of energy and spent most of the day just recovering. As well as doing some writing for the Fanfic Patreon that getting sick had also forced a delay on. I did just wrap up the Guide, though (obviously). Most of what you anyone could have needed to know was hinted at in the release p...
