The time has come! This is Ouroboros 2.0:
[Beta testing is complete, PM me if you're a supporter or get the game via Nutaku/MangaGamer!]
EDIT:
Link updated to v7! I don't know if everyone already played as much as they want, but I hope we have some new testers to make sure no new bugs were added during the improvements.
v2: This version expands the evil ending, implements gallery locking, adds blurred screens to the s...
Anyway, this post is one of those you can participate in or not, but I wanted to give you guys a chance if you wanted.

Several final pieces. First, here is my proposed final goal at $2500 (reasons explained in the ...

Whew, late update because it has been a busy day.
I realized I've been pretty vague about the work I've done lately. Since I'm feeling really productive at the moment, I figured it would be a good time to go into some detail. My work on NN you'll be able to see directly fairly soon, so here I'll detail what I've been doing on Ouroboros.
The new version of Ouroboros will feature the following:
- Hentai art for all scenes!
- In addition to the original six scenes, t...
This was a bad week for me, so I'll keep things short. I was productive, but not as much as normal. Usually I'd have pushed myself to do more, but since people have so consistently urged me to take the time I need for personal issues, I didn't force myself.
Ouroboros 2.0 is getting closer, but I'll have to time the finishing of it to the rest of my schedule. Noxian Nights 1.2.0 is also getting closer to completion. I keep thinking of new details I want to do for TLS 0.21.0, but I wan...
Personal issues aside, I have good general news: my creative energy is returning to normal levels. I'm being productive, but that productivity is very... chaotic.
So far following my mood has gotten a reasonable amount done even on my main goals, but I'm also left with a lot of half-finished pieces. That isn't a bad thing, necessarily, since it leaves me with many interesting fragments I could pick up later. We'll see how long this period lasts.
However, I have gotten significant w...

Just did an additional touch-up before the public release, since this one may be the most current version for a little while. Not a lot to say right now, expect a general update for patrons on Sunday.

2016-07-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostI will be direct: someone very precious to me is dead. It was a sudden/quick accident, it happened last week, and all evidence suggests it was just cruel chance. That's all I want to say about the details.
I have not accomplished very much in the past week for obvious reasons. However, this is not an announcement of extended delays. I've meant everything I've said about how important creativity is to me and I feel that once I regain some energy, I will need to create in order t...
2016-07-31 17:53:37 +0000 UTC View PostEarly update this weekend, since I am taking an honest-to-god vacation; this is the first weekend I've taken off in a long time. I'll still be checking in online, but soon after I post this I'll be departing. Should be better traveling than last weekend, so I'm in a good mood. ^-^
But anyway, progress this week has gone well! I have a lot clearer idea about the abstract stuff I mentioned last time, got a decent start on the new maps, and various other things have been developed. This i...
2016-07-22 20:40:18 +0000 UTC View PostExhausted over here, but back home and stuff. I wrote most of this earlier, so hopefully I can hit the "Post" button without screwing anything up due to sleep deprivation. -_-
Release is out, so I'm looking toward version 0.20.0 - I will probably tone Ginasta down, though, as I feel the new version is a little too strong. It's fine for stronger parties, but when I use my lowest level possible game, it feels too RNG-dependent for my taste.
This upcoming update will focus on the el...

This is the part where I usually say patrons have no need to replay. This time, however, there are some bugs fixed and small changes made that mean you should replay if you're a serious minmaxer. If you're just playing for story, no worries.

(Update: place 0.19.2 instead: 2016-07-08 22:20:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Okay, the TLS update is in good enough shape that I have time to keep some other balls in the air! If you want to have an impact on the ongoing development of Ouroboros, this is the thread!
I don't know if I've been completely clear on my intentions for the game; at least some people seem unclear. The plan is to put out one more free version (1.1.7, which will just be another set of bug fixes). After that, my work will be toward creating a commercial version to hopefully test out all t...
2016-07-06 17:52:15 +0000 UTC View PostHeadline up front: I'm getting on a good roll and I hope that version 0.19.0 of TLS will be out next weekend. Barring any huge new problems, that feels pretty possible!
The only thing marring my good mood is that I'm in the self doubt section of the creative cycle. A lot of the work in this version is under the surface, setting up the new version of Ari-Yhilina. It won't be the flashiest update, so I'll have to hope that people appreciate the continued social consequences in areas you know...

2016-06-30 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a bad week for me, but unlike previous updates, this week's is about triumph over adversity! I have gone deep into 0.19.0 and though I can't predict when it will be done yet, I'm happy with my progress so far!
One bit of business: unless I consider something new or someone comes up with a very compelling argument, I am going to thank Nesoun for his work but NOT move forward with him. That means I am back to square one with finding artists and I'm not sure what to do with this comm...
2016-06-26 15:22:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Early update because art things are afoot. Check out the potential first CG above or in the attachment!
First, to catch up anyone who missed the previous updates : after much talk of different artists, we selected a potential artist for TLS. He goes by Nesoun and you can see his work here:

Now the first image is done and we need...
2016-06-18 12:27:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a rough week. I'm feeling better now and I think I've turned the corner on things, but there was a lot of time and energy spent that I wish could have been devoted to the creative work I truly love.
Aside from all the time dedicated to less fun aspects of my work, I did get some significant stuff done for the next TLS update, specifically the detailed roadmap for the next section.
It's looking bigger than I anticipated. I knew it would be a sprawling update of side...
2016-06-12 20:38:35 +0000 UTC View PostObviously my previous week was mostly focused on bugfixes and ultimately getting the public release out, so I don't have a lot to report. I will probably put out a 0.18.3 so the most recent version doesn't have a graphical bug.
Though I've begun working through plans for the next TLS update, the NN release is going to consume much of my time for the next while. Lots of things are done, but it's crunch time and I'll be receiving some materials pretty late in the process. Having said that, I...

2016-05-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt's done, I'll be sending out the messages shortly after this post. ^-^
Usually I give my caveat about late pledges here, but in theory with the new system it doesn't matter? If you should have gotten a link and didn't, or pledge after this post and want your early release, just send me a message.
Several notes about this release. This one is definitely the most involved under the surface to date. People who only want to play through once, this would be a very good upd...

Busy days. Multiple things to cover this update.
Most obvious, check out the map! I've been slowly working with someone to create an official map for TLS, and now I finally have something to show. This one is the official nation map, with borders and labels for all the countries. There will also be a "natural" map (just the landscape) and a "game" map (showing the areas relevant to the game).
Not all the busyness is good, unfortunately. The public release of Ouroboros kind of dep...
