Hey, $10 patrons! Normally I space out rewards, but there was no reason to do so in this case. This post has a book for you to read, an update on Once Ever After, and an opportunity to participate in a DStP prototype if you want.

2019-12-21 01:45:48 +0000 UTC View PostLots of satisfying end-of-year stuff going on. I've invested some very productive time into writing, the least of which is finally getting the story version of that scene up on Literotica:

2019-12-16 00:01:58 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time to open up The Brightest Shadow to all $5 backers! This is early access to my epic fantasy novel that is coming out in early 2020, depending on book seasons and my other releases.
What to say about this? It's the first volume in an epic fantasy series. Though I know it won't appeal to everyone, what I can say ...

Ideally I'd like people to vote on which cover they like best in theory. If you like the concept of one cover best, but have a minor complaint about the art or text, ...
2019-12-07 20:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostI hope those of you in a place that celebrated Thanksgiving had a good time. I've been hard at work, but this week's update is going to be a bit of a scattered one. As I look to the last month of the year, I'm reviewing my yearly goals and considering how best to use my time.

Four more CGs are done, though in this case they only cover three scenes - if you look above, you'll see that the Stineford orgy received two different pieces of art. I figure that the game already has a massive number of CGs, so adding a few more for bigger scenes doesn't really increase the workload that much.
We're a...

I'm pleased to say that the new TLS update seems to be going well and the ridiculously long scene didn't seem to be too long for anyone. Normally I might push out a .1 version now, but since gameplay is mostly stable, I think I'll wait a little longer. Given a bit more time, I'll be able to add some additional content and fix...
2019-11-17 22:28:18 +0000 UTC View PostNew version out for this weekend!
NEW 0.47.1: https://mega.nz/#!T41R0CiC!kj4_xwsqeXfo91otSDB8sH8ko5hSWUi_vzcIm8TLbi4
OLD LINKS:
The DStP launch has gone okay. It's sitting at 3.5, which is average for new games but worse than my previous titles on Newgrounds. Total plays are above average but hardly explosive.
It's a bit encouraging that a reasonable number of people who don't know me at all find the core gameplay fun. There are also a reasonabl...
2019-11-10 20:52:52 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a time when I was hoping to get the TLS update out today, but it became clear that wouldn't be possible. Instead, I think it's finally time to stop tinkering and just subject DStP to the acid test. The demo with the first two worlds is now available on Newgrounds:
Well, I had a really long run of pure productivity, but all good things must come to an end. I'm still writing content I like, but I've been seriously slowed down by an issue with how it all comes together at the end of the Stineford update. I'm not sure whether or not this will be an impediment to release or just a temporary...
2019-11-03 23:28:22 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Spooktober, everybody! I'm mentally deep into the TLS update and don't want to distract myself, which is why it's nice to have things prepared. Here is a quick short story that you might find fun:

UPDATE
Originally I was going to upload a new version of the book with reported typos fixed and a few changes based on feedback, but I've just been too deep in TLS work. While I kept not getting that done, a third person reported that they didn't get a notification about this post, so I decided not to delay any...
2019-10-23 20:19:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone. If you're a $5 patron, you know that the new Don't Save the Princess beta has gone live. It's stumbled a bit coming out of the gate due to some bugs that are apparently slippery and hard to replicate. More info on that in the future.

Three more scenes from the first chapter have been completed! Megail has two missionary scenes in a row, but we aimed to show that can still include variety. Emotional valence!
The next set will include Yarra x Ina, the Stineford orgy, and Trin's first time. We have some great sketches for the Stineford orgy, but I'm tr...
