Patreon Billing Paused! But don't touch that dial!

Now, if you've been paying any attention at all, you know I've been planning for months to Pause the Patreon during the month of February. I've just initiated that Pause, meaning no one will be billed for the next month. The reason for ...

Progress Report

Right, so I've been a bit spotty about progress reports and such this month, mostly as I've been juggling all the things in order to make everything line up as best as possible. Sorry about that!

The good news is that mostly I've succeeded. The final Build of The Modded Player is at the stage that I'll have lef...

Progress Report

Right! Progress report time. Thankfully, I can mostly state things are going reasonable well (so far).

I'm fairly on schedule with the final The Modded Player release, though I got a bit overambitious again with the variants, so it's taking longer than expected in some ways. I think it will be a good thing overall, sin...

Progress Report + Poll Results

Alright! Progress Report first. As you can see from the images, I've been plugging away at the renders for the final build of The Moddable Player. I'd say I'm probably 45% through what I need there, which is solid progress for this point in the month. I'm almost entirely through one 'path' through the remaining conte...

Short Story Poll - Jan

Onward, to the short story poll for Janurary!

A quick pair of notes first, though:

1) The third poll, regarding bits and bobs for the next game, won't be up for a day or two as I'm sorting out what I want to ask first and how to put it into poll format.

2) This reward might not hap...

Sitrep for January

Alright folks, now that the holidays are over and I'm mostly recovered (I was a bit run down and under the weather for the last couple of days), it's time to take stock.

Thankfully, plans for December went mostly to spec. In addition to Build 2 of The Modded Player, I also got the sound done for 37 animations ...

The Modded Player - Build 2

Alright, folks! I managed to get this done suitably on time, as I'd hoped. This second build of The Modded Player is, for reasons of 'Holidays,' a bit smaller than the initial release of the game, which is part of why (if you haven't been paying attention) I decided to stretch this game into January as well. For now,...

Progress Report

Right, one last quick progress report before the end of the month. Honestly should have done it a couple of days ago, but I've been pretty nose-to-the-grindstone again since the 26th, trying to close out all the bits I wanted done this month.

The good news is that's been going fairly well. Rendering and post-process is...

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick Christmas Wallpaper, mostly as an excusive to drop in and say Merry Christmas all :-p. I'll be back working on stuff tomorrow, so expect and update in a day or two. Until then, have fun and stay safe!

December Short Story - A Magical Time

Merry Almost Christmas! As hoped, I got the short story done and edited before I take a few days off for the holiday :-). While it's not strictly a holiday themed story, it's certain 'Winter Themed,' with a little fluff, a fair bit of kink, and world building I indulged in way too much for a short smut piece :-p. The...

Progress Report

Right! Would have put this up yesterday, but it was my birthday, so I was taking it a bit easy. First up...go vote in the Future Games Poll 2 if you haven't yet!

Second, some bits of progress reporting! I'm maybe 30% of the...

Progress Report

Right! I've been a bit tied down with a lot of other bits and pieces of things that got loaded into the front of December, but I've still been making solid progress on the next release of The Modded Player. As the player moves on to the city of Shiften, the game has another split, where you can make choices down two separate ...

Future Game - Poll 2!

First off, if you haven't read the Sitrep for December post I put up almost exactly 24 hours ago, please do so :-). There was some important stuff for how the Patreon is going to work this month in it.

Second up, after being allow...

Sitrep for December

Alright, guys, gals and others. I'm going to be blunt here and admit that November did not go the way I'd planned. Which is going to have some follow on effects. The biggest issue, and one I've been stressing like heck over, is that I may have gotten everything else done...but I barely scratched the surface of the So...

The Modded Player - Scene Guide

I made a quick and dirty scene guide for The Modded Player, just describing where all current scenes are. Honestly, it's not overly complicated to find them all right now, but I figured this might be needed by the time the game is ...

The Modded Player - Part 1

Whew! I cut it close on not making a liar out of myself, but I made it! Just barely short of a day late, we've got the first release of The Modded Player. Already 120 images, this is turning out to be a bit bigger of a project than I'd originally intended, but I'll talk more about that and what it means late...

Quick Delay Notice

Just a quick delay notice. As I mentioned in my Progress Report, I wasn't sure I could get everything done by midnight tonight. I'm now sure I can't. I'm pretty sure I'll get all the programming and writing done, but there's no way I'll have enough time for an editing/testing pass. I still believe it will be out no later than...

Progress Report

Alright, a last progress report for the month. Everything else is already out, so it's only 'The Modded Player,' which I finally settled on as the title of the new Twine game (I'm not entirely happy with it, but I had to pick something), that we have left to talk about. I'm into the writing and programming now and <...

November Short Story

Happy Thanksgiving, for those of you who are in the United States! For those of you who aren't...well, have a happy day anyway, even if you aren't getting an excuse to overeat Turkey and Stuffing!

One way or another, 'tis a good day to release this month's short story! One that is intended, hopefully, to be part of a n...

Progress Report

Whew! Sorry about being silent so long, folks. I've been a bit crazy busy.

Part of that is in a good way, but even that good way might be leading to some unavoidable delays. Specifically, I finally was able to get some upgrades for my rendering machine without bankrupting myself. While the Nvidia 5080...

Progress Report

Okay! So, progress on various things this month is...sort of good?

First, and doing the best overall, is progress on the new game (Modded, still a temp name, need to sort that out). I'm nearly 80 renders in, with a target of around 110-120 renders for the month. The first segment of the game, effectively a two-path 'in...

Poll Results

Yikes! I was going to do a progress report, not a poll results post, only to realize that I hadn't actually done the Poll Results yet T-T. Sorry folks, I've been juggling more things than usual, between all the normal stuff, the sound project, a couple of medical appointments, and the new game. Anyway, I'll put off the Progre...

New Game - Poll 1

Alright folks, I needed a few days to sort out one of the options. When I ran some test game ideas in This Poll, people liked both ideas I offered up pretty equally. I, on the other hand, was only actually happy with...

November Short Story Poll

Onward, to the short story poll for November! A quick note you should read, though: It will likely be an additional day or two before the third poll pops up, as I'm still finalizing the Game Concepts for the next game, which will be what that poll is about. As in, deciding what game will foll...

The Modded Run (Working Title)

Alright, folks! Even if only around a third of you voted, I had to close down the November/December game poll so that I could actually get started on it! That said, despite the low vote turnout, one game won by a landslide with those of you who did vote. 'Modded' was very much a test title, even 'The Modded Run' is o...

Left Hand Magic - Guide/Walkthrough (Build 34)

Alright! For the first time in...four versions? Something like that, I think the last version of this was for Build 30. For the first time since then, I needed up update the guide. Specifically, adding sections in Arianna's Route for her route variants. Now included are how to get onto the Friends with Benefits Route<...
