Merry Christmas, Otters!
As a present this year, I want to get you excited for next year. Here is a preview render from Chapter 4 with Stormy, a big scene from the chapter. It's going to be the first completed scene, and I'm going to have even more preview renders coming near the start of the year.
I hope you all have an otterly-amazing Christmas!

I have been waiting to reveal some of the new things coming from Blue Otter Games and here is the first.
Introducing the newest game: Maelstrom Chaser!
Before continuing, I want to reiterate that this is NOT replacing Matrix Hearts. Matrix Hearts is still the primary game coming from Blue Otter Games. Maelstrom Chaser has been a culmination of the first visual novel I wanted to do, but we had to pivot because of the costs of purchasing the fant...

I am going to release something special with 3.9 since it took forever to get it live, and that is the ZippyApp and phone feature! While it won't have the resolution as the Steam version, it won't make much of a difference, as you can enjoy it to its fullest. The reason 3.9 took so long was an issue with the new animated background for the main menu. I had to go in and completely redo the programming to get it to work without looping the video. Give me a bit and the new ver...

Edit: I am waiting on all 3.9 to be ready before releasing. Right now, the mirrior sites are being slower than usual. The one that’s finished is PixelDrain, but gofile and Mega are still up in astronomical times. If anyone has a suggestion of better sites, please let me know! I am also releasing the store items to Steam, so those Otter ber available within a week. You're otterly-amazing!
Thanks for being so patient while I worked on this patch. Ther...

Here is an update journal of the health of the ocean and what we are looking at for coming content.
I thought the calendar template would be better in the about section if Patreon so everyone could look at it and know without having to scroll.
Now, let's talk about the wet stuff!... ahem.
I originally wanted the Point and Click Update for Chapter 3 to be completed this month, and while it still might be, I'm not going to keep pro...

It won't let me post any new content until it's fixed, but it shouldn't take that long! Give me a week to adjust things, because we are lewd otters, and I can get you new, otterly-awesome content!

New Patreon Content is coming, I promise! I had planned to get it out to you this afternoon, but I got quite a few messages from Patrons asking me what the improvements are going to be, when to expect them, and how I can be a better Patre-otter.
That got me thinking, I am making this for you! The otters. My loyal players! I want you to be satisfied with the changes, so instead of making them myself, I want your input before we launch forward with any new idea.

This is the first major update for Matrix Hearts!
The In-Game ZippyApp brings you a phone that you can play throughout the game. You are prompted in-game that you have new Texts and ZippyApps waiting for you. A phone icon then appears, and that's how you get to the adventure! Texts your friends. Flirt and comment on ZippyApps in the game. It's up to you! Your interactions bring you closer to the woman of Zippyzinc.

This is going to update and change throughout the month as we get more animations and more songs until it's running all Christmas long!

I love making games! I have a lot to learn when it comes to the finesse and awesomeness of it all, but my talents are swimming mighty in this ocean. Programming things like the In-Game Phone app require a lot of time and knowledge.

The in-game phone feature was going to come out this weekend, but as I implemented the code into the current system, it wasn't working quite the way I wanted it to. The feature to click your choice of responses wasn't working, and that's kind of half the fun, eh.
It won't take me long to fix it, as I know a few programming gurus that can fix her right up, so we are going to have a soft push for the In-Game Phone Update to the 24th of this month. This is also going to ...

Here is the new hairstyle teased for Xia. It adds twin-tails to her character which can also be colored and posed with more morphs and personality. It's not a huge difference as I want her facial features to come first without adding a crazy hairstyle.

The Chapter is now 100% written and edited, and 90% programmed. The remaining 10% is for when I have to fix where renders go or for choice trees. Starting this week I am moving onto the ever glorious posing and rendering! As you know, this is going to take the longest.
As for how much content is in the Chapter, well, it's once again a whale-of-an-update. Chapter 4 is a little bigger than Chapter 3 Part 2....

Thus far, you have been in the flirty flirt with the ladies of Zippyzinc.
