Quick Steam Key Update

Hi all! Just a quick update re Steam keys. I've begun mass emailing Steam keys out to active supporters with a lifetime contribution of $15 USD or more. You'll get an email from my email (games.by.pandaman@gmail.com) entitled "Price of Power - Patreon Supporter Steam Key for {{name}}" that contains the Steam key and instructions on how to redeem it. I just want to make sure I let you all know before you wonder whether there's a phishing attack going on or something - it's actually a legit ema...

Development Update #17 - Steam Release Soon!

Hi everyone! This will be part development update, part Steam shill, and part Steam logistics update. I'll start with the development update first.

Development Update

Progress on Chapter 9 is actually going a bit faster than expected, which is great news! I expect to have the first alpha out this weekend, and the next alpha might be out even sooner than the following weekend. You can expect a lot of main plot progression and drama in this chapter, as well as 2022-01-08 06:47:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 8 Release!

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate, otherwise happy 25th of December)! I hope you all have a great time playing through Chapter 8: The Lioness! There's lot of Maria character development in this chapter, so I hope you don't mind spending lots of screen time with her!

You can find the download links below. I've now started using a new build method that includes Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X builds all in one, so you'll see just two links below - one for Windows/Linux/Mac OS X and one for A...

December Special Renders - Public

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy these special renders and have a great holiday! :)

Custom renders and Patron-only special renders will be out in a few days, since I'm taking most of today + Christmas weekend off.

Development Update #16

Hello everyone! Just a quick update - everything is proceeding exactly as planned, so Chapter 8 will be releasing to Patrons on Christmas morning (December 25th) and to the public on December 28th! That's right, you'll get more wholesome handholding content on Christmas. I'll do my best to also get special and custom renders out on Christmas (or Christmas Eve, if I can) as well, so expect a lot of content just in time for the holidays! Have a great week! #MerryPoPmas

November Special Renders - Public

Hello all! Here are the November special renders. The theme of the month is Goth Emilia, so I hope you enjoy these slightly moodier renders. :)

Development Update #15

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm taking a mini vacation to celebrate Thanksgiving with the in-laws, but I wanted to send out a quick update on the game. The first beta (which is the first half of Chapter 8) is available on the Discord and development is well on track to be done before the end of the year! We might even make a Christmas release, but that's TBD. I also wanted to say that I'm very thankful to everyone that's supporting Price of Power and hope you all will continue to stick with ...

Update: Steam Released Postponed until Jan 21st

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I have some not-so-great news. I need to delay the Steam release of Price of Power until January 21st, 2022. It was a very hard decision that I didn't make lightly. I'm sure you're all wondering why I would do such a thing, but I have a few good reasons for my decision.

The primary reason is that I want there to be more content for everyone to enjoy at launch. By the new release date, I will have completed another significant chunk of cont...

Chapter 7 Release

Happy November! I'm very excited to release Chapter 7: Secrets! Windows/Linux and Mac OS X can be found below. Android version is uploading now and the post will be updated as soon as it's done. Enjoy!

Dev Notes:

There are headpats now. Enough said. Enjoy. :)

Changelog:

Steam Update

Hi all! With the Steam release coming soon, I've finalized my plans for Steam key distribution for Patrons. Here's the whole, highly complicated system:

If you are an active Patron with a lifetime contribution of >= $15 (USD), you will get a Steam key. 

Yup, that's the whole policy. I'll be figuring out who of my current patrons meet this threshold on the week of the Steam release, so that everyone who should have them gets keys by November 19th (the proje...

Development Update #14

November 1st. Handholding. Headpats. Face touching. Other lewd content (if that's what you're into I guess). Need I say more? Also, if you haven't already wishlisted PoP on Steam, please do so here (link)!

tl;dr: Patreon release will be on November 1st and also Steam wishlist pls ty

Price of Power is Coming to Steam!

Hi all! Everyone's favorite AVN/handholding simulator is coming to Steam! You can find the Steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1770210/Price_of_Power/

Please take a second to visit Steam and add the game to your wishlist. Adding the game to your wishlist directly impacts how much other people will see the game being recommended to them, so even if you're on the fence (or po...

Development Update #13

Hi all! Just a quick update on what's been going on. I'm hoping to have scene 3/6 for Chapter 7 out for alpha and beta testers this weekend, so development is going quite smoothly. :) I'm targeting the Chapter 7 release to occur either in very late October or the beginning of November, but no firm date yet. I think Chapter 7 will be a very fun chapter for Maria fans, so I'm excited to get it done and out into the world!

I've also been working on a Steam release, which I'm hoping to get ...

September Special Renders - Public

Here are the public September special renders! This set is "cyberpunk Maria", so I hope you enjoy it!

Game Promo: Love of Magic

Hello everyone! It's time for another game promo. This time, I'll be shining a quick spotlight on one of the best games out there: Love of Magic. Love of Magic, by Droid Productions, is one of my favorite adult games of all time. It has a fantastic story based on Arthurian legends, but Droid really makes the story his own and adds lots of fun twists to the story. I won't say too much about the story because I don't want to spoil you, but trust me, it's an incredibly fun ride ...

Chapter 6 Release

Happy Sunday! I'm very excited to release Chapter 6: Aftermath and get the Act II arc underway! Windows/Linux, Mac OS X, and Android builds can be found below. Enjoy!

Dev Notes:

I've made non-save-breaking updates to some old renders and fixed a few typos in previous content. If you haven't played since the bugfix, then you may also notice that the GUI is slightly better. :)

Changelog:

- Minor fixes to past content (typos, bad rend...

Dev Update #12: 5/6 done + Hardware Update

Hi all - happy September! I'm just wrapping up scene 5 of 6 for Chapter 6, so we're well on track for the September 12th release. Alpha testers can expect the alpha posted in the Discord tonight. This update might get close to 400 renders, which would make it the largest update (in terms of render count) that I've put out yet. There's lots of content to enjoy with each character (well, besides one, RIP), some good character development, and a good amount of handholding to boot. We're almost t...

August Special Renders - Public

Here are the public August special renders! This set features Maria back at the river from Chapter 4. Enjoy!

Dev Update #11: Act II Trailer + Release date!

Hi all! The Act II trailer is done and I've got a Patreon release date set. You can expect Chapter 6 to drop on Sept. 12, so just a bit less than a month from now! What should you expect in Chapter 6, or in Act II in general? Check out the trailer for a few new sneak peeks! It has some nudity, so I can't directly embed it - go to the YouTube link below to watch it. Enjoy!

Development Update #10

Hey all! July is wrapping up and I'm still hard at work on Chapter 6. I've just pushed out the second alpha (you can find it on the Discord if you're a $20+ patron), which brings us to ~1/3 of the way done with the release. This is right on schedule for an early to mid-September release, so everything is going as planned! I don't have an exact date yet, but as usual, I'll give a release date once I get closer. 

July Poll Results

Hi all! As you could see from the poll, it was a complete and utter blowout, so I'm implementing the proposed changes now. Please note that the new benefits (access to and voting on special renders and custom renders) will begin in August. I hope many, if not all, of you will choose to stay in your current tiers, but I also wanted to make sure that people didn't feel priced out of the game. I hope that sweetening the deal for every existing tier and introducing a new, cheaper option will be e...

Game Promo: Paradise Lust

Hey all! Now that I'm a little less of a nobody, I decided that I should use my (limited) pull and start talking about other AVNs/adult games that I enjoy playing. I spend the vast majority of my free time working on PoP, so I have to be really picky about what games I play and support. One of those games is Paradise Lust. Unlike most of the games, it has hand-drawn 2D art done by professional 2D artists. In fact, the whole game is developed by a real game development company...

July Poll - Please Read and Vote!

Hello everyone! Here's an actually important poll for July. I've decided that I want to update the Patreon tiers by adding a $3 tier below the Villager tier. That means that I need to recalibrate the other tiers, namely by adding more stuff to all of them. Therefore, here are the proposed changes:

1) Add "Barbarian" tier - all benefits of current "Villager" tier, priced at $3/mo

2) Give "Villager" and "Hunter" roles access to all monthly special renders starting from August

Act I Bugfix Release

As promised, here's the Act I release with all the bugfixes applied! There is no new content, this is just a bugfix. 

Dev Note:

No new content, just fixing bugs and a few broken animations. I've also improved the GUI, so please let me know if you like it!

Changelog:

- Fixed odd/bad renders throughout Chapters 1-5

- Fixed broken animations in Chapter 4

- Updated GUI
