$10 Special Render poll

Here are the options for the special renders this month.  You may notice a few recycled one's, I figure if they get at least one vote they deserve to get a second shot. As usual the girl or girls who won the last poll are ineligible for this month to keep a bit of variety.

Have a lovely rest of your weekend.

Test render 10/02/2020

Hello all, usually the Friday post is reserved for  5 and up, but as always I like to make the first one of each month open for all.  

As I prepare for the next update I'm taking a few days to render for fun and work on getting just a little better.  Since I obviously don't have any sneak peek renders yet...

Lewd Renders September 2020

And here is our first batch of Lewd Renders.  Since the vote ended up tied I decided to just do both prompts! They come in both 4k and 1080 variants. Hope you enjoy!  

Originally I had envisioned these as solo pinups, but I was thinking recently it might be a fun way to also create lewd scenes that could be co...

$10 Special Renders September 2020

Hello Dahlings,

These special renders come from an alternate universe where the MC meets a bubbly blonde Lyndie and a shy quiet Aoife.  This set of was a lot of fun to make and if I may say so myself punk Aoife is hot as hell. They come in both 1080 and 4k variants.

For my $20 dollar lewd render ...

Ch.4.1 Release

Here's a more bugfixed version, there's still a few renders I'd like to redo but they can wait until the Ch.5 release.

Update 09/23/2020

Hello Dahlings, keeping it quick.

My last batch of renders had a particularly nasty visual glitch that I need to repair so I can run them again.  The set I chose to work with this release has been a nightmare and I'm very glad to be leaving it behind.  I expect release to be late Friday to mid Saturday US time...

09/11/2020 Sneak Peek

Just a tiny glimpse of what our lovely assistant and spunky tomboy friend will be wearing to  the mysterious event this chapter, additionally a little extra Kim...she looks different doesn't she?   I'm sure most people have already guessed what the big secret thing this chapter is is, but I'll pretend it's a su...

Super Secret Early Peek

I know it's not Wednesday, but I like to add a bit of spice and variety to our relationship so that you don't get bored of me and leave me for a younger prettier woman.

Meet Viridiana. Vi for short.  While rendering I like to look at assets in preparation for upcoming projects, I fell in love with this one and had ...

BTS 09/04/2020

I know I've been spoiling you for polls  lately, but alas I've run out for this release. A little BTS action is here instead.

Chris, oh lawdy lawd.  Chris was the last character I conceived of when I wrote the script, and she was another character who originally was not intended to be a romantic option. <...

Check in 08/26/2020

Alright I'll try to keep it brief today folks, no fun rant alas.

As of yesterday coding is entirely complete except of course for any minor changes or adjustments that pop up during the posing and rendering.  Posed about a fourth of the scenes, I can usually get these done quickly but things do change when I run a ...

Check In 08/19/2020

Good heavens it's been an interesting couple of days, but who cares about that nonsense?  Lets talk game dev.

Most of my week has consisted of writing/coding, which is honestly my least favorite part of the process.  I can already hear you saying "STWAdev, you've made it clear that the story is already written...

BTS 08/14/2020

Ahh happy to be back into the swing of things.  Normally these segments are for 5 and up, but I think I'll make the first one after a major release available for everybody so that the 1 folks can get an idea of whats up and decide for themselves if it's worth upgrading.

I wanted to post a bit about Aoife...

CH3 Bonus renders

Looks like Kimmy snuck onto private property to have her own personal swim party, hope they don't have camera's.  

Originally I was going to only go with one of these, but I'm horribly indecisive so I just decided to release all three.  They come in both 1080 and 4K variants and they also...

Ch.3.2

Oh thank heavens I can sleep now.   As promised I deliver unto you.  I'm both horrifically nervous and incredibly excited for you guys to play this update I really hope you enjoy it.

Changelog:

Important! As I've mentioned before if you load a save from the end of Chap 2 your save will ...

BTS 07/17/2020

I'm somewhat proud of Lyndie from a visual standpoint, not for some spectacular work or anything, but of the girls she's the closest to her original HS model.

As a character Lyndie was somewhat in flux for much of the early development, when conceived she was supposed to have two distinct personalities.  While her ...

BTS 07/10/2020

This was not exactly who I planned on diving into today, but I was proud of my little test render for her so I decided to bump her up in the rotation.

As you can tell from her original HS model Beatrix has probably gone through the largest physical change of the girls.  Much of her original design is based around t...

BTS 07/06/2020

Sorry for the delay, wanted to get this out Friday, but got swamped over this weekend with some other work so you'll be getting two BTS posts this week.   Now a bit of fun info about Kim, our most controversial character. 

As I mentioned previously the game was originally envisioned as in HS, additionally...

Ch 2.1

Hey everybody just a quick update here.  Two things about this update.

1. There is absolutely NO NEW CONTENT,  this is purely a grammar/spelling and minor coding fix.  The large complaint that the MCs name wasn't appearing in Ch.2 has been fixed ( I hope.)  Barring any horrible gamebreakers I may hav...

BTS 6/26/2020

Here's a taste of what the 5  dollar tier will be offering in the future, sneak peaks at renders, character profiles, old designs. Basically an excuse to fritter away like a film student trying to explain my "deep masterpiece."  Jokes aside I just find myself fascinated with the creative process of people, but most ...

Chapter 2 Arrives

Well it's much later than I'd like but Ch.2 has finally arrived.

Changelog:

An additional 430 renders (give or take.)

2 scenes of ill repute

Changes to a certain anatomical anomaly of our main character.

Small back end changes to make things a bit more clean.  

File is decently large s...

Dawn of the Final Day

Just got my release back, need to make some minor fixes but that should be quick, release will be late tonight (still Sat here) or tomorrow (Sun) just depending on upload time.

Good news

Finishing up the last renders this weekend, then I'll send it to my reader/tester once I get the green light on that I'll be releasing.  I have the real job taking up time this week, but the update should be releasing next week, thank you for your patience.

End of May

Wow this month just flew by didn't it?  This year has been insane.  Was  really hoping to get the update out, but still running behind. As promised all patrons won't be charged the month of June, I'll be running tests after real job and hopefully there won't be anymore rookie errors in my code.  

Sta...

Just a quick check in

Letting you know I'm still around, my real job has been exceedingly busy these past weeks, but when I'm not working I'm fixing game stuff and chugging out renders as quickly as I can.  Of course as I stated in my last post, if the next update isn't out by end of month, (I'm in a US Timezone keep in mind) all current patr...

04/27/20

Feels good to be back in the swing of things, getting those renders chugging along nicely.  Fairly irritated with my little sick spell, I was slightly ahead of schedule before and now I'm slightly behind.  I was hoping to put animations and a few QOL upgrades in this version but I may have to do a mid ch update to a...

Apologies for the silence

My health took a fairly severe beating that really knocked me on my butt over the past week or so.  But now I'm feeling much better and am chugging out renders as quickly as I can.  As of now I'm aiming for a Chapter 2 release by Friday May 8th give or take depending on render speed.  Our regular dev updates sh...

Gamer Girl Heaven

Hope everybody had a safe and chaos free weekend, aside from some minor power outages caused by the snow here everything is chugging along nicely.  I'm hoping to have renders 50-60% done by this weekend, which will actually put me ahead of schedule and leave me free to try my hand at adding my first animation.  

Workflow Wednesday April 8

Just a quick check in so everybody knows where everything is at.

Script completion 100%

Render completion 15%

Anticipated release date for Ch2 May 2 2020

First release is here

Welcome to the completely unanticipated launch of STWA: The Author.

I'm so happy to share my little story with all of you.

For those of you coming from a certain site that likes to sail the seas I'm excited to welcome you all as well.

As an intro this is a little smaller than future updates will be, but hope...
