5.1 - Release Update
Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to drop in to give a brief update on the impending release of the 5.1 update. All the media for the update has been gathered and packaged, totally ~90 images in all. A couple last second bugs are being squashed, and we are more than ready to release this weekend! In fact, to make the release a little more manageable, I'll be releasing it a couple hours earlier than announced, at 12:00am EST 11/26, 9:00pm PST 11/25.
I know the wait's been long, so than...

Well, here's the deal...
5.1 is basically done! All the writing, systems, and even a few new surprise have all been finished as of today! What remains is building the new image packs, as 5.1 nearly doubles the amount of images in the game, and a metric shit-ton of testing and debugging. Unfortunately, due to the impending holidays and other life events, this will take a little bit of time, so I ask you bear with me just a little bit longer.
That said, I'm ready to share release dat...

Not gonna lie, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard right now so I thoroughly expect this release to be riddled with bugs, but, maybe not... Hard to believe development for 5.1 is actually drawing to a close, huh?

Pre-Alpha - News
Hey pre-alpha patrons! I just wanted to touch base real quick in light of the fact that there hasn't been a new build in a few days, nor will there one tonight (or possibly tomorrow).
I have no problem posting broken or unfinished/unrefined pre-alpha builds because, I mean, that's the point. However, there's a difference between "broken and buggy" and "literally unplayable"! Unfortunately, the game has spent the last few days in the latter states and until I finish the system I've been working...

It's been a helluva week for development, in a good way. I thought I'd drop off a small update due to the new milestone I just reached!
What milestone? Well, basically, I've finished writing all of Dakota's content for the patch! Yep, she's done! With that mountain of writing out of the way, I can now focus on the smaller, rolling hills of writing in front of me. Here's basically what's left:

Mostly under the hood stuff and event writing, though one fun change is the new method of conveying internal thoughts. This can be seen in the game's intro, Penny's testing the CMD-1 serum, and the event with Tory.

Lots of work has been done over the last few days, and in between the bigger initiatives I've found time to slip in a few neat features that I thought I'd share with you all today.
Random Events and Saving Time
First, all random events for home have been added. When I say "all" I mean "all intended for 5.1". There will be more. There are a total of 15 events in right now, with 9 unlocked by default and the other 6 unlocked by various actions. Since this ...

Weekly Update - Working on 5.1
Did you know I start to get really anxious when I haven't posted in a while? I mean, sure, $10+ patrons get updates pretty frequently, but I worry you guys might start to think I'm dead or something. I assure you, I'm only mostly dead!
A sickness befell my household over the weekend which I can only assume to be The Plague. It's put an unfortunate damper on the progress I'd hope to have made over the last few days, but that's not to say progress has not been made!

Prepping for 5.1
Greetings! I know I usually do these on Wednesday, but with everything going on lately I figured an earlier update was in order... Plus I just wanna talk about it!
First, thank you everyone for testing the Alpha 5.0.16/17 builds. I know they were janky as hell with a few questionable mechanics, but that was the whole point. Using feedback from everyone both in terms of their thoughts on the new features as well as all the bug reports, 5.1 should be a fairly smooth release.
So let's talk ...
2017-10-24 07:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostPre-Alpha 5.0.20
Several various bug/display fixes, as well as the slightly tweaked transformation routes.
Male, Sissy and Trans can all transform freely between each other, and Female, Shemale and Bimbo can all transform freely between each other. Trans and Shemale can transform between each other, "bridging" the gap between the male and female spectrum.
2017-10-23 14:39:44 +0000 UTC View PostPre-Alpha 5.0.19
Bugfixes, including fix when transitioning from Female into Bimbo/Shemale.
2017-10-21 18:36:39 +0000 UTC View PostPre-Alpha 5.0.18
This should fix most of the reported issues from 5.0.17, if not hopefully all of them. The morning scene for Bimbo transformation has been fixed (Was not checking for event if player was originally a Shemale) and the reported text errors should now be fixed.
Reading books should allow for all valid gender transformations. Reading a book on assertiveness will trans...
2017-10-21 07:11:58 +0000 UTC View PostRegarding the new Patreon Policies
I'm sure everyone's heard about Patreon's new, harder stance on adult content, especially that which contains a particular category of content. After thinking about it, I'm fairly certain we'll be okay.
From a public user's standpoint this Patreon page is fairly innocuous, and worst case scenario I may have to remove public links to game releases and possibly the link to my IGDB entry on TFGameSite, though I'll wait to be told to do that before I actually do it. You may also see me reference M...

Patreon Rewards Update - Reminder
Typically when I adjust Patreon rewards, I do it in such a way that will not affect existing patrons. After giving it a lot of though, I've decided to make a change to the $5 tier that, while minor, will affect patrons at that level. This change was make in the interest of incentives, but mostly for manageability.
- Recognition within the contributors page in the game is being moved from $5 tier to $20 tier

On This Week's Test Release
Morning all!
Over the weekend I was able to finish implementing all the content needed to make the new TF system work. You can now transform to all six gender states and your character will update and react accordingly, and the systems in the background will all behave correctly. I've also added a gender "identity" system which governs the pronouns used in the game, and has a small effect of transformations. For example, if you're a male but choose to identify as female, people will call you b...
