Sorry about the delay. I tried to roll this out last night but there was a missing piece of code that was breaking the game. Thanks to one of the people who help out with code, its been fixed and appears to be working as intended again.

2018-04-07 15:03:05 +0000 UTC View PostI fucked up. I broke something in the game when I was putting together the new build. I'm leaving the Free version up because, . . . well, its out there now. In the meantime, I'm just now digging into the code to try figuring out what I botched up. I'll have the new builds of A11 up as soon as the problem can be isolated and resolved.
Sorry.

First, I'd like to begin by saying that anyone new to the game should try the Free version of the game first. Then if you like it, consider showing a little support if you're able.
Got a new build of Inheritance ready to go. Quite a bit of new content to explore in A11, and almost all of it is related to Anna. The goal this build was to present some new content that is available at starting stat ranges for Anna to make some of the ex...
2018-04-07 01:19:54 +0000 UTC View PostHave spent the bulk of today working on Wanton Cove. Spent quite a bit of that time modifying the Deep One loss content to more accurately represent the Ruins The scene is 3500 words roughly, but it doesn't have much impact on the game's word count since it replaced roughly the same amount of content as I wrote.
Spent some time trying to run down obscure bugs and such that had been reported. Absolutely mind numbing, but it feels really good to have so much of that out of the ...
2018-04-06 20:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostIts been one of those days.
Started digging around the rest of my bug reports related to Wanton Cove. Managed to carve through a small mountain of spelling errors, quirks, grammar mistakes, and other stuff. In doing so, I found several mistakes I had made in the code, one of them was BIG, and locking out the vast majority of the ruins content except under very specific circumstances. Since finding it, I've been kind of kicking my own ass over it and I feel t...
2018-04-05 22:07:14 +0000 UTC View PostAs many of you likely noticed, yesterday there was no progress report. Twelve hours of work time, and less than 300 words of content to show for it, . . . . though it had nothing to do with lack of effort on my part. It was simply one of those days where there was always something else going on.
I literally spent about ten hours replying to messages yesterday. I've no doubt that was ...
2018-04-04 17:16:06 +0000 UTC View PostGot an early sketch for one of the pieces I just commissioned for Wanton Cove.
This is two versions of the same image. I asked the artist to scale things as depicted in the first image plus asked for a few small changes (Mostly to Cthulhu himself.)
Enjoy!

Here's what to look for in the new build of the game:
A11:
-Fixed a broken image in the intro.
-Fixed several spelling, grammar, and spacing issues in the game.
-Wrote and coded a 5k word scene for Anna that can happen in most any room in the mansion that has a window during work hours.
-Wrote and coded a 1.1k word scene for Anna that takes place in the gym in the evenings.

2018-04-02 22:22:19 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, I'll get the new TEST Build of Inheritance out shortly. Sorry about the delay, I just wanted to double check a couple of things before rolling out the test build.
Today I woke up with my back giving me a lot of trouble. Instead of writing the way I had intended, I ended up strapping myself into my traction machine and spent half the day taking the pressure off of my spine. I feel a lot better now. :P
Once I could walk again (Stretching my spine like t...
2018-04-02 22:15:06 +0000 UTC View PostReceived the paper doll art elements just a little while ago! SO incredibly excited about this!
I'm trying to get it uploaded for the coders right now but I wanted to share some initial information about the art for all of you:
In total, this is 798MB worth of art, spanning 1254 images.
I'll be planning to share updates on the project as things are developed.

2018-04-01 23:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostHad two bugs reported. One was something that has likely been in place for a long time and has been preventing much of Mr Morichi's content from playing. The other was the way I coded the Fountain scene, which was only allowing it to play out under a pretty specific set of circumstances. Hopefully this will fix both of those.

All of the real life crap aside, I got some work done today!
I spent probably three hours today working on adding the contest entry to the game. I've been trying to write additional variants to the existing content in order to make it playable at any relationship level, so a lot of that time has been tied up doing that. I also coded everything and dropped it into the game just a lit...
2018-03-30 01:22:24 +0000 UTC View PostIts been a while since I shared any art, mostly because I've been so focused on writing and orchestrating the chaos we all know as Aftermath Team that I simply haven't gotten around to it.
I'm here this evening to remedy this.
I received this piece a couple of days ago. This is a sketch involving three busts for the game (I'm going to try doing this as spoiler free as I am able.)
Felt a bit worn out this morning. So instead of jumping right into work this morning like I had originally planned, I instead spent a good part of the day playing video games, . . . . wasn't until this evening that I actually buckled down and got to work.
Finished up a third and fourth interactive scene today for Anna. Plugged those into the game this evening.

Its got some fairly substantial troubles going on, but its still cheaper to fix it than to replace it. Ironically though, our "good" vehicle broke down on our ride back home from the auto shop, . . . . how's that for irony?
