Alright! One more reward knocked out! This story is something I've played with the idea of on and off for years. As far back as Eros Academy, when a version of the thought inspired one of the original Eros Academy shorts. It's nothing super special or anything, I just never quite worked out how to make everything fit together...

Time for a progress report! Overall, things are going reasonably well, so I'll just jump right in.
Left Hand Magic
This is going as well as I expected, honestly. I've finished all rendering for Talia's four scenes, meaning that we're currently sitting at a total of 7 with their renders done....

Alright! Very much past time I did a Progress Report. Let's dive right in!
Left Hand Magic
So, I mentioned in the poll results more or less how this is going. So far, I have three additional scenes for the early game done, along with the first two days of Talia's Week 4 route. I'm working on...

Alright! I...uh...got distracted. Which means this is a few hours later than I'd intended. But it's here, at least! Regardless, The Starship Promise: Key to Success, is attached in the usual pdf format. I'm pretty happy with the result, too. It's a tiny bit shorter than average, only hitting just over 4,200 words.

2023-05-13 11:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this is technically a poll result announcement too. The Virtual Trap won this month's Mixed Media Poll! This is a new story, and I haven't decided if it should be a cyberpunk type setting or a fantasy setting. I mentioned in the original poll that I'd put up another one to let you lot weigh in on that!

First off! Don't forget that the polls will be ending soon. The MMS poll for Royalty Tier will end in 23 hours (and is currently tied!). The others will each end a day later. Make sure you get your votes in if you haven't already!
With that reminder out of the way, progress so far as been a bit sketchie...

2023-05-05 22:54:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Poll time! And this one is short and to the point. The primary goal for this month is to get the rest of the early game sorted out. But that's only going to be a small handful of scenes. The remaining content will focus on Week 4.
Here, however, is where I'm giving you guys a choice. Arianna and ...

Whew, got it done before midnight, as I'd hoped. I do apologize for the day delay...but given the build size I'm reasonably happy with just a single day of delay. It's a BIG build, after all. Nineteen new scenes, most of them medium or large size, 148 new renders in total. With Build 20 all six of the Patron Spirits ...
2023-05-02 03:44:12 +0000 UTC View Post*Edited at 6:45am* Yep. Writing and Edits are finished, along with all the little stuff like the credits update. But I ran out of focus/energy before I could start on testing. Going to crash. Update should be out this evening. Possibly early into the AM on the 2nd if the conversion-upload process chews up too much tim...
2023-05-01 03:28:02 +0000 UTC View PostNot much point in a full progress report, so I'll try to keep this sort. Currently, I've finished the coding for Build 20 of Haven's Port. And I'm at 6/19 for scenes written. I fully expect to get another four scenes written before I crash in a few hours. Which will put it at 10/19. Unfortunately, while I'm 99% sure I can fin...

If you missed it, that series got an entry in March, with a...
2023-04-04 03:59:40 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this poll is pretty straightforward this time. The primary focus of this month's Haven's Port build is going to be getting the remaining three 'Patron Spirits' of Jerta and Rose Garden in the game. That will only make for a total of, at most, 9 scenes, however. Albeit, probably with each of those nine scenes being rather ...
