Ida Update

Hello. I just wanted to take a minute to update you all on what's going on. As many of you may know (if you live in the U.S.A.) Hurricane Ida rolled through the south eastern coast of the US. It destroyed a ton of homes, vehicles, trapped many people for weeks without food (projected by clean up crews--and after seeing the photos I believe it), water or power and caused massive flooding.

My family and myself were quite lucky. While we didn't sustain damage to our home, property or live...

Possible Delay, Hurricane Ida

Ida is projected to be a category 4 at landfall and reach near my area by Monday / Tuesday. Generally when hurricanes roll through my area, they affect power for a day or two if it's not too severe. Under severe circumstances this could be 4-5 days or more.

Hopefully it won't get to that point and things will get back to normal pretty easily. In the event that I lose power, the latest release may be delayed.   I'll try my best to release prior to the storm landing, but if t...

0.29, Major Updates On The Way

I've been pretty quiet on this front, largely because I wanted to wait until I had something definite. Now that I have something more concrete I can confirm! This is a bit of a long read, but essentially it highlights what's coming.

HF largely has 3-4 main features for it's gameplay loop. Sadly, only one of them is really fleshed out at this point, the social aspects of building relationships.  Even this aspect of the game could use some improvement, and hopefully soon that will be...

0.29 Feature "Magic Spells"

Starting with 0.29 a new feature will be introduced. Magic spells.

These will allow you to affect gameplay in various ways. As you grow more powerful you can cast multiple spells at a single time and eventually learn to wield them during battle or exploration. For now, you can have one spell active at a time.

Spells cost fatigue to cast, and generally stay active anywhere from 1-3 days , depending on the spell and your mastery of a spell. Mastering a spell (done by having it act...

0.28 E-mer-GEN-cY Patch

As mentioned this patch addresses the following issues:
# - Fixed an error where a couple of Ryoko's scenes may have used more memory than intended.(Stacked videos)

# - Fixed an error where the nap-time and bed-time scenes introduced would not play in the correct order, as well as repeated.

0.28 Newest Patch (and why it hasn't posted yet)

I didn't forget about this, but I am currently locked out of my VPS.
Long story short, I'm a poor boy and I need to pay the 29.99 shadow fee. I'll have it up by tomorrow morning (It's nearly midnight here, so as soon as I'm able to pay le bill it will pretty much be updated, I wanted to have it by today, but due to some unforeseen events, I have to wait until after midnight). XD

TL DR, It should be up in about 2-3 hours or so.

For those wondering what this p...

Hello Nurse

Lyra's usually so level headed. How did she get roped into Fira's hijinx?!?

0.28 Patch

It was bought to my attention that 0.28 version has a bug (since fixed) that prevents Patrons from seeing the correct content.

You can download that here, as it gives you access to more Lyra, Ryoko and a few other scenes.

Polish #2 Fira Vs Fira

Depicted above is the scene of Fira in the Lull Forest. I think the re-creation of this scene came out pretty well -- don't you?

I decided to re-do it, along with some other early game events.

Sharing The Vision - Part 1

I have quite a few plans for Hom Factory, and now that I'm done mapping out the key events for the Prologue,  I'd like to take a look at what comes next.

At the start I promised the ability to make your own Homunculus, and that has not changed. For that to happen, there are roughly 3 things that need to occur.

The first, is I would like to meet a certain level of patron involvement. This isn't for a greed related reason, but rather it will help me absorb/of...

Maids-in-training

Ryoko finds herself in an unusual position by going along with Fira's plans. 

QOL # 1 Training Improvements

It's always been my intention to do training upgrades throughout the game. Once you reach a certain point, Pichi will offer you the first of these (beginning with the next update).

You can choose what amount of effort you want to put towards a particular training activity. Single means you perform that action a single time (like normal), Half will use up around half of your current fatigue, while Full will perform the training until you're spent.

You can choose this option before...

Polish #1

These are posts to highlight some of the things I've been using to add a bit more polish to the game. There are info-graphics right before the training that allow you to preview what benefits you get with each training.

Which reminds me, I need to fix Fira's!

0.28 Re-release

I updated the download links with the newest version of 0.28.
The main difference is the inclusion of some missing events (forgot to link them originally) and some new content added since the last few days.
These are mainly events for story, and also some Fira related content.

0.0.28 Full Update List

Just posting this ahead of re-releasing 0.28,which should happen within the next hour or two as long as the weather doesn't knock out my power (currently storming).

Update itself is done though!

0.28 Full Update List

- Improved event scheduling for date specific events.

- Four new scenes added.(NN) (Bed?)

- Four more scenes added (semi-nude/ NSFW)

 - Fixed more backwards compatibility issues.

 - Completed the nap / sleep s...

Big Oops!

I may have accidentally released 0.28 without some of the intended scenes being connected!

This came to my attention yesterday. The scenes in question are related to Fira finding various outfits--and what happens thereafter.

Since this is the case, and I decided to do a "locked" public version of 0.28, I will re-release 0.28 tomorrow with the missing content + some extra events (about 8-9 so far) I've added since 0.28's original release.

I will use the extra time today to...

Latest (0.28 Release)

Hello folks.
My apologies on the 1 day delay ,I intended to release this yesterday but I wanted to focus on nailing any lingering playability issues so I did a last minute play-testing session. I also decided to add a last minute addition which caused things to stretch on.

Pre-Release Update : How It Started VS How It's Going

Hello!
At the start of this month I had grand plans. There's a saying, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him/her your plans!"

This holds true this month as well unfortunately!

I wanted to do some poses so that I could start creating original reward content, but unfortunately the person I was relying on went M.I.A. nearly 1 week into the month. I haven't heard back from them, so it's a safe bet to say that plan went up in flames. ^_^

I also wanted to revise character ...

Update + ETA + Expectations

First, let's start with the ETA of 0.27.

I mentioned this in the Discord channel, but for the patrons who do not use Discord the development slowed up for various reasons. This is largely due to the fact that I need to get my own PC (which I plan to do before month's end) which is capable of creating renders and recording video. This alone would significantly cut down the amount of time needed to add content by almost 3x.

Using a virtual pc is helpful, but the co...

HF - First Vote!? Bath-time!

I'm considering adding bath time to the game as a feature.
Ideally, the way it works is pretty simple.
You would discover a new bath area in some manner (usually by being told, discovering it as a secret, or exploring a zone). Each bath would be different visually (and maybe some effect on the game like a temporary boost).

In addition, you would be able to collect bath-time with each vixen. For example, taking each girl to a specific bath might benefit you in some way in game, or...

Reward Changes

I streamlined the reward tiers a bit, basically removing the ones that are unused / unwanted. Here are also a list of the current changes besides that.

3$ Tier - 1 week (7 day) late release. Unlimited slots.

5$+ Tiers - Immediate release. Also there is only one 5$ tier now with unlimited slots.

Thicc Plotter + Slots have been increased by 10.

10$+ Get access to HQ image folder of lewd scenes in the...

Prioritizing!

Hello!

This is less of an update in the sense of game development, but something sort of related to it. From here on out, I will have to adjust my workflow in relation to the interest of the project unless things change. FYI, this is a bit of a long read so you can skip the the TL DR if you like, which is I'll be streamlining various things about the project which may affect you as a patron.

As far as I can see (and also based on what I've been told by others), ...

Progress Update, and some changes!

This past update has taught me quite a lot. Namely that the times are changing!

Normally I try to do 2 updates per month, you may notice that sometimes I miss the dates I aim for. The reason for that is simple, and you can read more about it below. (If you want to skip to the progress update, scroll down to the image.)

With that in mind, my development cycle is split into 2 phases. The first is what I call foundation. This is usually building and...

What's taking so long (Part 2!)

Hey folks.
I just wanted to keep you updated on the process! I haven't disappeared. I've been quite busy in fact.

I released 0.25 public version yesterday. In reality, this version is 0.26 without the content updates.

The reason I did this is pretty simple. I've been trying to crush a persistent bug in the android version of the game. In line with this, I've also been fixing every bug  or glitch I encounter along the way.

As far as I know, the bug doesn't have any...
