Margot's Mansion Aimee Patch

Hey everyone! While I've been working on all the boring groundwork stuff for Episode 2 I wanted to do a little content patch to spice up Episode 1!

Not a huge patch: there's 1 multi-part animation and a smaller scene as well as a few little extra sprite animations. The scenes all take place towards the end so I'll uploa...

Little animation I'm adding

The butter-churn scene felt like it needed a little extra to fit with the new text so here's a little bit I'm adding on as I do my cleanup

Just saw an error I forgot to fix as soon as I post it, happens every. single. time

Puzzle Walk-through

Here's a little guide to solving the puzzles, it's quick and dirty so I'll update it later to offer more hints rather than just spoiling stuff but it'll do for now!

Margot's Mansion Alpha!

Really happy to announce I've got a version of MM ready for Halloween!

If you've played the playtest version there won't be many huge differences apart from fixing a couple of big bugs, some added polish and (finally) I've added (some of) the fantastic music made by Clement Panchout!

I'm going to update the tier r...

Puzzle Playtesting

Would anyone be interested in doing a little puzzle playtesting? I have my main puzzle chain worked out but could use some help figuring out if they're too hard or even make sense to anyone other than me.

Warning! If you want to play the best version it'll still be best to wait for a later one since it's still missing s...

Margot Kissing the Mirror

Not actually an animation but a little sneak peak at the titular (:D) Margot who owns the mansion. This design was tricky for me because and I had a really strong image in my head of what she'd be like but I think I got pretty close. The game takes place in '91 and my goal was a rich, stylish but slightly behind the current t...

Margot's Mansion progress update

Just a little update to let everyone know where I'm at: I now have all my puzzles, scenes and interactions for chapter 1 are all scripted and working, it's a functioning game!* (That still needs work)

This month I'm focusing on polish: replacing placeholder art and text, reworking navigation, adding in a couple of extra...

Sprite showcase

So I'm not using any character sheets yet (though I really wanna make some so I have the option to bring in other artists) but I use the spites I've made to stay on-model so I wanted to post them!

I needed a style that would be super quick to animate since adventure games use a TON of little animations, these are only ...

Promo sketch (kinda spoilerish?)

I'm getting a little closer to finishing up chapter 1 of the game so I'm doing the programming stuff part full time to polish up the puzzles but I'm still allowing myself to do a little drawing at night for fun. I'm planning on doing some promo art for the game featuring the two playable characters: here's Aimee getting tangl...

News: The game has a title, plus a new spoiler-free patron tier

Finally settled on a name: "MARGOT'S MANSION" after the mysterious woman who owns the house you'll be exploring. Here's a quick bit of promo art for it featuring the two playable characters Max (the nerdy newbie to ghost-hunting) and Aimee (the trouble-making detective).

Also I've introduced a new tier for people who wa...

Dexter and Bella on the Couch

Finally got to start on this, a bunch of my family has been in town so I was stuck doing SFW stuff like the backgrounds till they left but they're finally gone so I'm back to animating!

Penny's Dream Animation

Here's the animation for the Penny's dream scene! I wanted this one to be a little weird/lovecraft/creepy but I dunno if I made it a little too creepy, I'll have to revisit it later when I've had some distance and see what I think about it lol

Penny's Dream static scenes

Here's a few of the scenes leading up to the Penny's Dream animation I'm working on where the creepy chair she's sitting in the library on comes to life. The second one isn't supposed to be an animation but it's kinda working like one

"Penny's Dream" Animation Process part 1

I've had a few people ask me about how I make animations so I thought I'd do a little writeup and explain what my process usually is. I've been using a program called Aseprite but other pixel art programs will probably work just fine. I hope it's helpful, most of it is stuff you could get in most anim tutorials but it might h...

Un-pausing payments because I can finally start animating the fun stuff!

I'm going to resume payments now since I've got to the point where most of the boring stuff is in place (backgrounds, character animations, puzzles, that sort of thing) and I can start animating the sex scenes!

I'll be posting the process of making them as well, with a little tutorial since I've had a number of requests...

Game progress update!

The game I've been working on, Margot's Mansion (working title), is an old school point-and-click adventure where a team of amateur ghost hunters from a local college explore a haunted mansion filled with horny ghosts. You'll have to solve fun puzzles, escape booby traps, be possessed by ghosts and navigate secret passages. I...

Pausing patreon payments! (good news)

So an update with the game I've been working on: Now that I have the puzzles designed and a script coming soon I'm finally able to dig into making art! My main priority is to get a working game out for people to play and so I'm going to be pausing the patreon payments so I can focus on making all the little assets I'll need.<...

February poll

Here's a poll for February's animation! I'm finally underway making game assets for the Haunted Mansion game so I figure I'll offer a choice between an animation that will go into it (which will be a minor spoiler) or a couple of quicker ones just for fun

Feel free to make suggestions too for either characters or types ...

WIP - Bat Harpies & Spelunker

Took me a while to come up with a sketch that I liked because their wings are kind of a nightmare to deal with since they can easily cover up all the fun stuff. Gonna try to focus more on linework on this one so I can fit in as much movement as possible, should be fun! Oh and included the 3 Bat Harpy characters I'm using

Robotics Animation and a Little Interactive (kinda) Animation Test!

This is for windows - The GIF shows all the good stuff so if you can't run it you won't miss anything other than the little robot I animated rolling around:

Finally getting started making a game!

Ok I'm finally finishing up the necessary pre-production stuff and I've got a cast and a loose story (thanks to the terrific writer Amanda Clover) and I've settled on a game engine that I think can actually work for me and at last I can start making art!

It's going to be kept pretty loose just and placeholder-y but the ...

January Poll

Alright what should I make next month? Feel free to suggest stuff too for me to think about for future polls!

Xmas Card

Happy Holidays! Made this as a secret santa gift but I wanted to share it here too

December WIPS

The winner of December's poll was a zero-G sex scene and I thought I'd take it as an opportunity to try out something a little different. This one is going to have little zoom in areas on it to give a closeup of some of the details which should be pretty fun and I made it a common pixel-art-game resolution to get a feel for h...

Ghost Animation Final!

Whew OK I got messing around with transparency and it was way harder than I thought to make it look good. This was supposed to be a quick one too but I got carried away, hope people like it!

Haunted Mansion Game

Ok! I've working with the fantastic writer Amanda Clover to come up with a story/setting/characters for a game and I'm finally at the point where I can show something from the game dev process:

The game will be a lighthearted, horny, old-school point and click adventure game set in a haunted mansion. Think games like "M...

December Animation Poll

Here's the poll for December!

The last is kind of a wildcard, just if you want to see me get experimental with some more exotic pixel art styles. Probably on something Xmas related.

Also if you have suggestions for stuff in future polls let me know - it may or may not be included (I don't know a ton of characters ...

Ghost Head WIP

Whew ok it might not look that different but I got the in between frames added and the hair animated which are by far the hardest steps for me. Had to post it because this thing has a crazy number of frames (triple what I usually do) and I'm proud of how the hair is turning out

Now I get to do the fun part, the cleanup ...

Switching to per month billing (and Ghost animation trailer!)

First thing, next month I'll be switching over to per month billing. Rewards will all be the same just wanted people to know.

Also I made a little trailer for the ghost animation just for fun, here it is!
