Expansion of Ability descriptions.

When I made the Ability descriptions, I tried to keep them short and concise so as not to distract too much of the player's attention during character creation. Well, the descriptions seem to be concise. But probably not quite comprehensive enough. Right now I'm thinking about expanding the Ability descriptions a little bit o...

We're somewhere around here.

There's not much to tell, but the long silence is not good for this page. It needs to be stroked and brushed, then it will purr... Uh, to the point!

First, the unpleasant. Touch and forget.

My energy situation here has not improved. In fact, it's creeping worse. The lights go off at random times o...

Update 1.69 (public version)

Well, two weeks have passed, it's time to share. Although this time it's the public version of the emergency update from March 23. In general, that's why I won't post it anywhere where I usually post updates. Just here. But this is the public version, so if you decide to take it to some site, share it with friends, or anythin...

Plans & Expectations.

If everything had been normal, version 1.7 should have been released today, then two weeks later, its public version. But everything went to hell and created quite a bunch of problems (a couple of posts down if you don't have any idea what I'm talking about).

What now?

Public version 1.69 will be ...

Update 1.69 (patron version)

Update in the attached files.

The nice 1.7 number will appear when I can finish it properly. Alas, it's hard for me to give you a time frame right now. Nevertheless, it's +/- 90% of the episode. Tested to make sure it's passable. But bugs with some specific combinations of different variables cannot be ruled out. Hopefu...

Update 1.7 may come out sooner, but that's not good news.

To help you understand my current state, I will describe my last few days. First of all, and this is not the main reason, I got sick again. Fortunately, this crap only hit me hard on the first day but it started getting weaker the next day. Nevertheless, for almost three days I ate nothing and slept ...

March 31.

Just a reminder of the 1.7 release date. Well, also because if I stay silent until the end of the month, some people might start to worry. No need to.

Overall.

The bulk of the episode is already in my version of the game. And as far as I've been able to test everything, it's working as it should. ...

Just letting you know that everything's in order.

Day by day, I'm gently and carefully converting the draft right into the game. A little behind my schedule, so to speak, but nothing critical. So there's not much to report, the work is moving forward, and I've already exhausted my limit of hints and minor spoilers for the upcoming update.

This episode contains quite a ...

Update 1.7 shifts to March

Patron voting is now complete. The post with it should be open for public viewing and comment by now. Most want a full-fledged update, not a short one. So be it.

So far, the biggest update was 1.5. The upcoming update, if I do it right, will probably be comparable in size. Despite the extra month, the actual work for...

Faster or More?

A bit of clarification.

It's better to put it in numbers, it'll be clearer. To understand, the last update 1.6 included 298 pages in the draft. And the 1.5 update before last was 368 pages.

Now I have the 280-page draft of the next update done. But there's a tiny little problem... Due to ...

Some news (update 1.6.5)

What was planned?

The original plan for the 1.7 update envisioned a certain pool of events. Conventionally, it could be divided into two parts. But, the first half grew quite a lot in the work process. Because I didn't want to miss a chance to detail and show quite a unique situation, in which the pla...

...jingle bells, jingle all the way… - *Cough-cough* - Oh, what the fuck! I’m not good at singing at all!

First of all, I apologize for my long online absence and infrequent replies. I got the flu at the beginning of the month, and a nasty one at that. It ended (I hope) only a couple of days ago, so I've been sick for almost the whole damn month. Game development, as you may have guessed, has been... slow. No, surely, I tried to ...

Progress report of Update 1.7

Main.

Usually, I work along the lines of - scene ready in draft → add it to the game, and test it. But because of the specific, "hybridized" gameplay at the beginning of the next episode, it's not very convenient, so I doing the draft of a whole series of scenes altogether this time, about ...

The Good, the Bad, and the Meta.

Everything written below is purely my thoughts on game mechanics. Nothing is binding. Play as you and only you like. But maybe you'll find something useful for yourself.

Builds.

When creating a character in the Inner Empire, the system is designed so that there are only 5 possi...

Update 1.7 Announcement.

Well, Patreon has added a free subscribers feature. Looks like it's evolving faster than me, huh. Okay, let's adapt - let the announcements of updates be open to everyone, just like the public versions of the updates themselves. I've also unlocked comments for free followers on content they can see. Everything else, for now, ...

Update 1.6 (public)

Well, two weeks have passed and it's time to share. The update is in the attached files.

As usual, I used the time between patron and public versions for deep testing and polishing. You can find a list of changes in the Changelog section in the game itself. In brief, a few arts and portraits were replaced, one bug was f...

Hints for non-lewd scenes from update 1.6

Watch out for spoilers! I recommend you play to the update's end first and then come back here to see if you missed anything.

Well, foremost, this is the first update in the game, where builds with heavy investment in Vigor will be like: "Ugh! Ugh! Yeah, Muscle Time! Ugh! Ugh! Yeah...
