Been hard at work today. Have spent a couple of hours working on this so far, and intend to invest another 2-3 at the very least still today. Between now and Saturday, I should have at least three more days that I spend 4-6 hours working on this as well, so the next update is likely to be a big one.
Have written about 1500 words of content related to Deep Ones today. Mostly this is combat and related win/loss scenes along with a major rework (WIP) of the Mutation T...

Received this late last night. This version includes the improvements I mentioned in the WIP sketch I posted a little while ago. Hope that you all enjoy the image! It should appear in the next build of the game.
In the meantime, you can find more of the artists work here:

Got one last WIP version of the second piece commissioned last month. I asked the artist to darken the foreground and do a little work on the tentacles. I have since received an updated picture (Which I will share with $10 Patrons shortly.) and started the process of commissioning the next set of images for the game.
Next up will be an image for the first meeting wit...

First off, after taking an unexpected leave of absence from all of you wonderful people over the last two days, I'm home again. If you sent me a message, or made a post somewhere other than here on Patreon (I think I've replied to everyone from Patreon now?), I have not forgotten you, I just havent got around to replying just yet. Expect replies over the next couple of hours as I work through everything.
As far as the family emergency, we all had a good visit, and I think in our ow...

Just a quick post to let you guys know what's going on.
Wanton Cove:
No bugs have been reported yet. I'll be taking that as a good sign.
Home Front:
Found out that a family member is experiencing organ failure (Wife's uncle) so that just became the number one priority. We're leaving to visit him in the next hour or so, and wont be back until late tomorrow.
This will likely affect my in...

Made one last play through and didn't see anything that looked out of place. Between that and no bug reports for a few days, I'm green lighting the release.
The new build includes about 6k words of new content, including story driven content, new dialogue with some NPCs, Madness content added to the rest of the NPCs in the game, new art, some new ambient content, new White Goo events, and a few other things I'm not thinking of at the moment.

Spent about two hours working on a scene for Therapist this evening. About half of that was spent mapping out the first half of the scene until I was happy with how it was supposed to progress, then I wrote a big part of one of the two intros for the scene. Will hopefully work through the rest of that scene over the next couple of weeks.
Tomorrow evening, I'll have a bit of time on my hands again. I intend to release the new build of Wanton Cove then.

Looks like we've got another month behind us.
We saw some modest growth, and we're now up to more than 525 Patrons (Number looks smaller right now as Patreon does not count patrons who's payment has not yet cleared. It should get back up there in a few days). Each and every one of you is greatly appreciated, and it brings me immeasurably joy to know that so many people appreciate all the hard work put into these games.
For those who have been with us for a while, we appreciat...

I should have a bit of time on my hands over the coming two weeks, and I plan to put quite a bit of time into Wanton Cove in that time. While I want to knock out a couple of significant bits of story driven content over the next two weeks, I also want to start introducing some of the additional NPCs who have yet to appear in the game. And since I have no personal preference of which order they appear, I figured I'd put the decision up to all of you!

Its been a couple of days since I said much here, so I wanted to catch you all up on what's been going on recently.
The Allure of Wanton Cove:
Last week, I finished up the work I needed to get done for the next build of Wanton Cove. In all, there are about 6k words of new content spread across a host of scenes. The "NPC/Madness" updates are complete, new White Goo events have been written and added, new conversation options with the Morichi ...

Got a concept sketch for the Madness ending art I commissioned this month. I'm very excited to see this piece come together even though it will be of a less erotic nature than previous pieces have been.
If the artist stays true to form, we'll see 2-3 more WIP images over the next two weeks before the final version of the image is completed. The final version will appear in the game in the first major release after completion.
Hope you all enjoy!

Alright testers, got a new build for you guys to look over. A couple of you have done this before, but most of you have not, so I'll break things down a little bit (And trying to do this with a bit more format than I have in the past.)
This is a test build for Wanton Cove, there's a good chance that there are bugs, but that is where you guys come in. If you see ANYTHING from spelling errors, to grammar errors, to game breaking bugs, or anything in between, PLEASE report ...

Wrote about 4k words of content today, bringing us up to about 6k for the next release. Got one really intricate scene that is affected by some choices made early in the game finished up (Most complex scene that was still needed for Day 6), as well as several smaller items that were resolved, including the rest of the "Madness" content related to NPCs and some new conversation options for a couple of NPCs. Pretty happy with the progress overall.

Still really sick today, but not as bad as I was yesterday. I hope that means I'll be feeling increasingly better in the coming days.
That said, since I'm not proving to be any use to anyone on the home front, I fired up Wanton Cove and started dabbling in that. I wasn't sure how well I would stay focused with such a stuffed up head, so I opted to work on some little side content rather than anything major in case I didn't stick with it for long. I surprised myself by ...

Was feeling a little under the weather yesterday, so didn't get anything done in spite of having a coupe of hours free time. Today I was even sicker, and even now I feel like crap, . . . but at least I seem to be starting to snap out of it.
If I feel better in the morning, then tomorrow and the next day will be work days for Wanton Cove. If not, then Thur-Fri will be instead. Either day, I plan to invest two of the next three days into writing for Wanton Cov...

Completed piece for the third and final Deep One ending of Wanton Cove.
This will be going into the game some time this week for the next major build of the game.
Next up will be the "Madness" ending for the game. After that, there are a couple of endings that have yet to be written what I'll be mapping out well enough to get art for before starting to do pieces for some of the key scenes ...

I'll start with today's news first, then I'll kind of recap where everything is right now on this project.
I spent a little over an hour working on this today, starting to write the second tier of scene starters for for the sparing scenes that were requested. I'm now about 1/3 of the way through the 25-30 scene intros that need to be written for the scene.
Talked with the coder a few days ago. We had a good Q&A session about what all needs to ...

Ok, got another fix for all of you. This one includes a fix for an error that was appearing in the "People" area of the Case Notes, as well as an error that was causing the new Town Drunk NPC's scenes to not display properly.
If anyone sees any additional problems, be they game breaking bugs, to minor spelling errors, or anything in between, please report them! After all, its hard to fix problems you dont know about.
Enjoy the new build!

Had two bugs reported earlier today (I mentioned them in an earlier post). I managed to run down one of those earlier today, and the second one gave me little trouble this evening. Less than an hour to work through both.
Once I finished up with those, I spent about an hour going over and revising some notes related to Aftermath.
Then it was off to Inheritance where I went over a couple of notes, then set myself to writing. Ended up rew...

This is the third Deep One ending variant. Its still a WIP, though its nearing completion. The changes I asked for was to adjust the colors of the two "females" in the image to more closely match the green from the previous two images they have done. Otherwise, its nearly completed. I hope to see a completed image in time for the next major build of the game.
Next up will be an image commissioned for the "Madness" end of the game. That one has already b...

Bug One: Error appearing in the "People" section of the case notes.

So, I figure I should take a moment to catch you all up on what I've been up to:
Talked with our commissioned artist, it looks like they are on the home stretch of the last deep one piece commissioned for the endings. I asked for some final changes to the latest WIP (I'll share that piece soon) and its likely that it will be completed in time for the next build. I'll be sharing this latest bit of concept art with $5 Patrons in a little bit, and the completed work w...

This is something I have been thinking about, and wanted to run it past all of you before making any such changes.
$1 Pledge level: No change.
$5 Pledge level: Would gain concept art, but not completed art.

Several new ambient scenes, one story driven scene, and the ground work for some future content. My hope is to finish up the remainder of the Day 6 content with the next update.
