July Story Reward Poll

Alright! So, I have a bit of a confession to make. Due to the horrible underestimation of the time required for the new mini-game in Chastity Quest's Build 5, I haven't even started on June's Story Reward. Nor do I see much realistic chance it will actually get done before the end of June. Which doesn't m...

Chastity Quest - Progress Report

Novus  post Chastity Quest - Progress Report from patreon

Alright, I meant to post this last night, but some issues came up that set my whole day of progress back several hours. Development related issues, not life, to be clear. Specifically, the highly-unstable heavily-modded copy of Skyrim that I get my captures from decided, between one day and the next (and without be changing A...

Patreon Sales Tax Bullshit

So...I do feel the need to talk about this, even though I'm sure a lot of you already know. Don't worry... I'll be putting my a more relevant Progress Report post later today :-). 

Upcoming Sales Tax Changes

In essence, the Patreon team sort of lost the plot a while ago, when they expanded in...

Okay! So, I've actually been meaning to post this for the last couple of days. But...the last couple of days have been be rocking back and forth in a corner between sets of screenshots, asking myself why I was doing this to myself -_-. Specifically, one of the Big additions for Build 5 is going to be a small escape game of so...

Haven's Port Build 1 - $3 Patron Release

Novus  post Haven's Port Build 1 - $3 Patron Release from patreon

Update! A walkthrough for all current sex scenes (as well as basic information on the game's systems) has been added to the post! Depending on how you count them, there are either 14 or 18 total sex-containing scenes, currently. (It depends on how you count some of the variants, like the endings for the Rose Dancer jo...

Just a Quick Update

So, I was actually hopeful that, despite my warnings that things might slip over to the 17th, that they actually wouldn't. I was all prepared to buckle down and hammer hard all of yesterday to see if I could pull off getting Haven's Port out last night. Unfortunately, that got utterly derailed when I ended up spending around ...

Haven's Port - Progress Report

Novus  post Haven's Port - Progress Report from patreon

Alright, this should be the last progress report before Build 1 releases. First, something I probably should have mentioned before but it kept slipping my mind to do so, is that this month's Haven's Port release was timed to be out on the 16th from the beginning. Normally, I aim for the 15th for literal mid-month releases, bu...

Novus  post Haven's Port: Reputation & Sexuality Systems from patreon

Alright, everyone! I'm finally happy with what I have worked out. I've had the Reputation system worked out since last month, but I was tweaking the Sexuality System right up until yesterday. I think I overhauled it completely something like 4 times in ongoing efforts to make it do what I wanted while still remaining...

Novus  post Chastity Quest - Web Version Now Available  from patreon

Alright, it took me like 8 hours of banging my head on various objects, but both Build 3 and Build 4 of Chastity Quest have Web Versions that will play in-browser. This will both prevent everyone from having to redownload 3-4gb of data every month AND, hopefully, get rid of some of the ongoing compatibility issues. However, b...

Walkthrough - Chastity Quest (Build 4)

This the release of Build 4, it is, of course, also time to update the walkthrough! Notably, this is the first instance in which new scenes had to be added to old locations. As such, in order to make the new ones easy to spot out from the rest (and find using a search of the pdf), I've tagged each of the new scenes with: ...

Quick Note

*Update* Build 4 is done. Having unexpected issues with the upload. Will be up as soon as possible. 

Since I mentioned in the Story Reward release that I'd hoped to have Chastity Quest Build 4 up before I crashed this morning, I wanted to put up a quick note about that not being the case. I horribl...

Poll: Patreon Feedback

Alright, this is actually a first for me, I think. That being that this poll isn't actually about any of my games or other rewards and such, but about how I manage the Patreon itself. Specifically, I would like some feedback on what happens when delays...happen. 

Backing up a bit for some exposition, I'm sure you'v...

Story Bonus + All Patrons Story Reward

Alright! So, as I mentioned in my previous post, the Bonus Short Story that I wanted to do this month, as an apology for the last couple of Story Rewards being a few days late, is finished.
