Graphics Quality Improvements Poll

Hi all! As I'm gearing up for game 2 in the background, I'm curious what you all would find the most important in terms of graphics quality and improvements. Some of these things are already planned and some might happen depending on demand. To avoid biasing the poll, I'm just listing them all without noting whether it's planned or not.

Please select whatever graphics features/improvements matter to you. Please select as many as are applicable/interesting to you so that I know what you ...

July Special Renders Poll

Hi all! Since Emilia won the last poll, she's out of contention for July. Who of the three ladies below would you like to see on a date with Michael? Vote below!

Development Update #54

Happy July everyone! I hope you've all enjoyed epilogue 3 and are ready to hear about epilogue 4. This dev update will be about epilogues 4 and 5 in particular, and I'll save next game news (spoiler: you'll get to see some of the assets I've made) for another dev log, since it's not quite ready yet.

Epilogue 4 and 5 will be the last updates for PoP, barring any bugs or other glaring issues that come up unexpectedly. Epilogue 4 will feature a certain redhead's birthday party, with lots o...

June Special Renders - Public

Hi all! I hope you have enjoyed/are enjoying Epilogue 3 right now (and if not, you can get it here: )! It's also time for special renders. This month's special render choice was to see Emilia as an elf girl, so I hope you enjoy this set of specials from another important PoP location. :)

Epilogue 3 Release!

Happy summer everyone! It's time for Epilogue 3, which combines a silly side story with some serious and important character development for our favorite nanobot-based AIs. It was an interesting balance to strike, between a silly pregnancy craving quest and learning about how Legacy and Eve came to be! I hope you enjoy it!

  • One Steam Achievement (for Steam players)

  • Minor spelling fixes to prior content

June Special Renders Poll

Happy June everyone! I hope you're all doing well. It's time to vote on this month's special renders. The majority vote on the prior poll was for elf waifus, so I figured we could do something different this time around - who would you like to see as an elf girl?

May Special Renders - Public

Happy May everyone! Enjoy a beach date with Emilia, who's "accidentally" chosen to wear a thin, white shirt to the beach. :)

May Special Renders Poll

Happy May! We've got just about six months left of PoP special renders, so I want to make sure I redo all the best scenes/environments at least once more, but with new characters (or the same if you want). One of my favorites is the beach date scene, so we'll start with that! I'm opening this and a few more future special render polls to all patrons so that everyone can weigh in on the last round of specials. :)

Development Update #53

Happy May everyone! It's high time for another development update. I'll start with PoP stuff, then get into Game 2.

PoP: Thanks to everyone who's played Epilogue 2! Epilogue 3 is underway already and will focus much more on changes between relationships as the ladies progress through their pregnancy. I won't give too much away, but the title will be "Late Night Snacks", so you can expect Michael to go on a very fun miniquest. :)

Game 2: The next game will be a combination of a rev...

Epilogue 2 Release!

Happy May everyone! It's time for Epilogue 2, which is a fun little idea I had for the main story for PoP but didn't make the cut, so it's in the epilogue. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Development Update #52

Happy April everyone! Hope you're doing well. I have a few things I want to cover here, so let's get started!

Firstly - the polls. Thank you to everyone who voted and commented! Here are the results:

Poll 1) Splitting focus between epilogues and Game 2 won 56-44

Poll 2) Providing info about Game 2 over time won 57-43

Poll 3) Handholding beat headpats by a resounding 75-25

Based on your feedback, I'll begin working on learning Blender and getting things going for ...

Just A Random Poll

Hey all! This is the last of three polls I have about the future of PoP and Game 2. This one may or may not be related to Game 2 - that's up for you to intuit. ;)

Which do you think is the most wholesome - headpats or handholding? To forestall follow up questions, it would be a male MC performing these activities with their female love interest. Please let me know!

Game 2 News Poll

Hi all! Thank you to those who've voted on the first poll - if you haven't voted on it yet, you can find it here (link). Here's another poll for everyone to weigh in on.

Would you like information on Game 2 released over time as I finalize different aspects (gameplay, story, name, etc.) of it, so that there's a fairly regular stream of information? Or would you rather I save all the informatio...

Epilogues & Next Game Poll

Hi all! Here's the first of a few polls I'll be putting up. This one is about how you'd like me to split my time between working on the PoP epilogues and working on Game 2. The next polls will be more focused on Game 2, but this lays the groundwork for all that. :)

Currently, I am taking community college classes to get better at art/advertising, trying to fix some health stuff that's plagued me for years, recovering from the burnout of working 60+ hour weeks for 3+ years straight, AND ...

Development Update #51

Happy Sunday yall! Hope you're all doing well. :) I'm working Chapter 26 (aka epilogue 1) right now, aiming to get that done by the end of March. I'm a bit past halfway, so everything's on track for that right now. This is a short update since I'll have a couple of polls coming up soon to get feedback about bigger stuff I'm thinking about right now, so for now, just know that everything is going smoothly and the first epilogue should be out by the end of the month. :)

Act 5 Release!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Price of Power has been a labor of love for over four years, and I'm very happy and proud to say that the game is finally ready for a full release! The main plot is complete, I've done some cleanup work on earlier renders, fixed up some bugs and typos, and added in requested features like a scene gallery and an SFW mode. With all this work finally done, the game is now leaving Early Access on Steam!

As promised earlier, this isn't the end of Price of Powe...

Development Update #50

Happy January everyone! I hope you all are doing well. :) It's been a hell of a month for me so far - travel, getting sick, the LA wildfires just a few miles north of me, and trying to learn marketing and Blender for the next game. I've identified the work that needs to be done for the PoP polishing before the final release, so it's just a matter of cranking out the renders and doing a few QoL updates. Nothing is changing in terms of the story, just making some improvements. :) I'm still aimi...

Development Update #49

Happy December everyone! I trust that you've all played and enjoyed Chapter 25 and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. :) Just so everyone knows, I'll be going on a much-needed holiday vacation from December 15 until January 5. Special renders are queued up to post in a few days, but beyond that, don't be surprised by my radio silence. Once I'm back, I'll continue working on the PoP polishing to prepare the game for an official Steam launch on February 14th (aka Valentine's Day).

The Hellcat Lounge - Cross-promo

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great holiday (if you're American) and have enjoyed Chapter 25 of PoP. If you're looking for another great game this holiday season, please check out Hellcat Lounge, made by Wilson and Puggy! You may recognize Puggy from the PoP credits - he made the main menu animation, the new outfits for Maria and Emilia, and a bunch of other things. In a way, supporting Hellcat helps support PoP indirectly, so please check out 2024-11-29 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Happy Halloween everyone! I've got a longer update for everyone - please see below. :)

The most important thing: Chapter 25, which will be the end of the main plot, will be out before Thanksgiving. I'm aiming for the weekend of November 23rd, but as we get closer, I'll update everyone as usual. :) What happens after that? Great question!

Once Chapter 25 is done, I'll be working on reviewing the entire game and polishing anything that needs polishing (renders, writing, animations -...
