New outfit now available!

You can now buy this cute summery sundress from the seamstress! This outfit will be discounted throughout June and July, alongside some sexy new swimsuits for your throne realm attendants! Gold Edition player can also pick this outfit up in the offering box for free!

The summer event is currently in development! I'm als...

There's a trial version of Secret Exposure Manaka

Welcome to my SheableSoft shill arc.

I played it. It's good! It's about what I expected, and I mean that as a good thing. The demo is a bit more limited than I think it needs to be, but it's still good. I pissed on many things and in many places☻. The demo didn't include any futa stuff though, unfortunately.

I'...

My first removed post :(

The patreon-only post about how I didn't include a certain kink in SS because I thought it was over "the line" got removed by Patreon. I find that funny for some reason. Like I was agreeing with you guys, why are we fighting? I didn't go into that deep of a description of it, but just mentioning that I thought about ...

Hex sprite tool

Coming soon: strip beach volleyball!

Beach volleyball will be a special combat mode. Your stats will be normalized and your combat options will be limited, but you can still make use of mantras and items for an edge. Each volleyball match consists of rounds. After each round, the loser has to remove an article of clothing. The first to lose it all loses the matc...

New summer outfits! (Preview)

I'm doing a summer event for Hex. Like with the Halloween event, one outfit will be tied to the event, while the other will be purchased from the seamstress (with a discount at certain times of the year).

You'll get the new outfit really early in the event's story this time around, but there will be other rewar...

Hex Design Notes: Mantras

Mantras are meant to be more than just a simple RPG accessory, but not quite as influential as something like a class. A passive powerful enough to inform or enhance the way you play, but without encroaching into the design space of spell schools. 

For the names, I was already using (dog) Latin for some of the succ...

I need some testers

Edit: I need a few more people, so I'm opening this up to anyone.

Tired of hearing about network/server stuff? Me too.

Anyway. ☃️ The snowman is the cutest emoji. Change my mind. ☃️☃️☃️ Adorable.

I'm gonna be switching from ol' AWS to an amalgamation ...

Did you know that clicking on certain things in the menu will show you some...er...lore? I guess?

Okay so it's actually just Meila and Iris fucking around...

You can click on the name of a spell school in the magic menu or on some stuff in the character menu to see little chats like these about all sorts of things.

Moving to AVIF

So, AVIF is pretty cool, as far as file formats go. Comparison:

10% of the size and better quality than WebP! What's the catch?

Well, the browser support is a little spottier. It's also got a few weird things going on with how...

About the web version.

Minor bookkeeping note: everyone, free or paid, can now comment on posts they can see. I didn't know that option wasn't on. Also, Patreon just kind of actively lies to creators; the preview they show us isn't really reflective at all as to what our pages look like or what its features are. I'm gonna try to pay better attentio...

Script for the Witch of Calamity Boss Fight

I just thought maybe this could be interesting to share. I'm not sure if I'll share this much code in the future, but I think it provides a bit of a view into how things work and what goes into designing a boss fight like this.

Honestly, a fight doesn't take that much code. Most of the time and effort goes into...

The sequel to Secret Flasher Sereka was just announced.

The game is called "Secret Flasher Manaka" and has a mid-June/before the end of June release date.

I've been keeping tabs on the development, so I can tell you some of the new stuff in the game. For one, he added peeing!

I Recommend "Outdoor Exposure Girl Rena"

I'm reviewing another real-time 3D stealth exhib game! I can't help playing these when I see them, so now I'm making it your problem, too. I promise these aren't the only games I'll play/review; I've been playing other games too, so please look forward to that.

YouTuber AdultGameReviews will be streaming Hex on Friday.

As announced here on their Patreon page. The stream will be on Friday at 1PM on Picarto.tv.

I don't think I'll be able to watch the stream live since I'll be at work but I may try to sneak in some peeks at it! Regardless, I look forward to s...

Changelog for the "City Life" update | Hex

This is a preview changelog! That means it may change before release or contain errors. The official changelog will be available after the update releases tomorrow.

Sky Magic Arc - Part 1 Preview

To win a chance at separating from Meila, Iris heads to Ivald with Gemma to help her make contact with her teacher, a renowned expert on soul arts. With Gemma's new guild-assigned adjunct, Lem, tagging along, the group will attempt to cross the border into Ivald and reach a small inn in the countryside where they'll be safe, ...

Hex update this weekend

Unfortunately I'm gonna just barely miss the end of the month. :/

I did say this was a possibility, but I'm sure it's still frustrating, and I know how languid the development of Hex has been. I'm sorry I didn't manage to release the update in April, and I'll try to do better next time! :)

That said, the...

Holy Magic Arc - Part 2 Preview

Iris meets another witch.... They don't get along very well.

Iris also gets a horn-based inferiority complex.

New boss fight.

Other witches will basically be superbosses in Hex. This is the first one! Defeat her to gain a cosmetic reward, and flawless her for a special key item that will be of use in the future. I have plans for you being able to bring these characters into the throne realm in the future as well to further interact with them, but th...

Pheromones Potions (and More!) | The Cutting Room Floor

Pheromones potions were a way I planned to introduce light and fun CNC-style content into SS. You'd take one of these, and the next time you entered a populated place, you'd be swarmed by infatuated men or women (or both, if you took one of each) like a sexy zombie apocalypse. I got as far as drafting scenes, but I was a bit ...

This is my 500th Patreon post.

I don't have anything more meaningful to post off-hand.

Some details to know about the upcoming Hex update

The update is on track to release soon! I hope it will release before the end of April, but I'm willing to move it back to early May if I absolutely have to. I don't expect that to be necessary unless something goes wrong, though. Right now, I'd bet on the last week of April. I will announce a specific day probably only a few...

Brothel game mode

The brothel location will give Iris the opportunity to engage in prostitution without gaining notoriety or attracting the attention of the knights, but it's also a little more involved than just slutting around in the streets; the clientele at the Crimson Lantern is here for romance and entertainment as much as sex, so you'll...

Ranbol Travel Guide: Nightlife in the Red-light District

There are many reasons why the city of Ranbol is known as the "Jewel of the South," and just one is it's well-known red-light district. With its active nightlife, Ranbol has a lot to offer visitors and tourists looking for a good time. The city is home to the world-famous Crimson Lantern, an unparalleled "adult entertainment ...
