Nomax

Julian rework -WIP-

Julian was voted to be the next one in line for his do-over and he is one of the ones who in my view most urgently needed it, so I'm happy to sit down with him (and actually had chipped away a little bit at it a month or two ago.)

It also means that it is one of the more work-intensive ones though, as I can't just sit down and iron out a few kinks like I did with Nomax and Wolf. No, for Julian I actually have to pretty much start have to start from scratch while keeping him aligned wit...

If you have performance issues with v9

In case you had performance issues or even crashes with the latest update I've uploaded new files, so please do redownload them as they should fix the issue. :)

That's all, hope you have a great day!

Conway Scene Poll for Update 10

Hey everyone, Update 9 release yesterday and today it's straight back to planning things for the next one.

So I'm looking into which scenes to work on for it and since I mentioned I'd want to have you all have some say in that why not have the next poll? :D

So let's see, all of these are other evening options, so they're scenes that are pickable instead of the Julian scene from update 9, and they're probably going to typically be shorter than that one. Don't exactly want to inv...

Conway - Update 9: Lizards & Lanterns

Update #9 is here and of course, it won't be able to match up with the sheer word size of the last one. But that doesn't mean that it's no a fun one!

We're coming up to the end of day two by now, and to wane out that day, we'll have you as the player get the choice of how to spend the evening. Throughout the day you'll have had characters suggesting or inviting you for things, and this is basically one of the points where we'll let you pursue one of those promises/invitations/etc.

The Conway Scene Suggestion Box is ready!

Hey hey,  thought I would only get to this once November rolls around, but managed to sneak it in real quick.

This is the form to fill out for your Conway scene suggestions: https://forms.gle/8CpsKs7ZsoyEGYaP9

Going forward I will leave the link in the 10$ packs each month, so you don't always have to come back searching for this post in like 6 months or something.

So yeah, I'm looking forwar...

New additions to the 10$+ tier

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all doing well?

I wanted to take a moment before the next update drops in a few days to sit down and talk a little bit about some more changes to, in particular, the 10$ tier.

I've felt for a little while that the 10$ tier was left out a bit high and dry between them, as I simply struggled to find the right perks for it since switching over to Conway work. Mind you, the old perks of course still exist: access to PSD files, feedback videos, 25% p...

Poll for the next v2 character update

Hey everyone! We are getting towards the tail end of the month, so how about we set out to do the poll for our next v2 character overhaul of the main cast?
Wolf and Nomax are both done already, which leaves us with our dummy lizard, Julian.
Second Mate, and totally not the target of every size queen around, Arthur.
Doctor and booze supplier extraordinaire, Rajeeyah.
And #1 cause of death for stray asparagus stalks, Samuel!

Cast your votes now or remain forever silent!

Smallyu Portrait & Wolf v2 - 2$ pack

Hey everyone, hope you are doing well?

Second pack of the month and we got highres and wallpapers for both the Smallyu portrait and the recently released version 2 of Wolf (Both regular, and topless)

Smallyu doesn't have a wallpaper version because it was planned as a 9:16 wallpaper right from the beginning. So the highres works for both.

But yes, hope you're enjoying this collection and of course also the fall colors outside! :D

Bandile & Nomax v2 - 10$ Pack

Hey everyone, hope you are doing well?

In here we have the PSD files for Bandile, and the hopelessly confusing PSD file for the v2 of Nomax. Does anyone but me understand it at this point? Nope! Should i just get rid of all the old stuff in there? Probably! But WHO KNOWS WHEN I'LL NEED IT?! It's like PSD file hoarding at this point.

At least Bandile's is pretty straightforward.

But yes, hope you're enjoying this collection and of course also the fall colors outside! :D 2023-10-25 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Bandile - 5$ pack

Hey everyone, hope you are doing well?

In here we got the Bandile step by step. Nomax was finished during this time as well, but version 2 for him is pretty much just copying the old layers and reworking them on one layer. There isn't really much that can be shown in the step-by-step process, unfortunately.
Bandile though had enough uncertainty on my part that I worked with a decent amount of layers. So that one we got at least!

But yes, hope you're enjoying this collection...

Conway Character - Bandile

And we got another minor character done. Cook, and provider of asparagus, Bandile!

He was quite a toughie to design here tbh, the initial sketch still stems from the time when i wasn't sure just quite how fantasy-esque I might push the characters and Bandile ended up looking very goth, with a sort of turtleneck and everything.
The pose also felt a little boring as well and so it was a case of changing pretty much everything about the character, from pose to outfit, while still tryin...

Djano & Eden Feedback

I can only ever directly show one video, so Eden's feedback can be found over here: https://youtu.be/7XcOvCRKZDg

In Djano's video we're talking specifically about shower scenes and some ideas for how to convey them.
With Eden it's a large-scale rework of the picture, so touching composition, values, and general picture planning.

I hope you'll enjoy them too and can take something away from them :)

Announcement about some changes to the dev cycle

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing alright today :)

I wanted to make an announcement to how the development cycle of Conway will look going forward. So currently we've got the monthly releases, with the first of the month always bringing in a new version of the game.

Going forward we will extend that to a 2 month cycle.

Why?
I actually don't mind the 1 month cycle much. It keeps me on my toes, i got some days for planning, got some days...

Question about Conway

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask you all something. Or well, those of you who actually follow me and actively play Conway. Plenty of you are still around from when this was a purely art-focused patreon and might not really keep up with the game itself.

My question is how often do you catch up with what's new?
Do you download every single update? Do maybe go for every other? Every third?

That's all, so thank you very much for helping me out here. :)

Conway - Update 9 sneak Peek

Hey everyone, happy sunday to you. Speaking to you from the past because I'd rather avoid having to write this one up on a sunday! I'm currently...hmm... let's say I'm sipping pina coladas while at my beachfront winter residence? Yes, sure, let's go with that. Rather nice on the canary islands this time of year.

But of course you're here for a little bit of a peek of what to expect from Update 9. Well, naturally it's not going to be as big of a one as the last one. That was very much a...

Update 8 Preview

Hey everyone, happy sunday to you. Speaking to you from the past because I'd rather avoid having to write this one up on a sunday! I'm currently...hmm... let's say I'm sipping pina coladas while at my beachfront winter residence? Yes, sure, let's go with that. Rather nice on the canary islands this time of year.

But of course you're not here for that, you'd like to hear about some of the stuff in the next update. And well, you're in luck! It's going to be the biggest update yet!

Nomax sprite v2

Opened the poll a few days ago where the 10$+ peeps could vote for which characters should undergo a v2 overhaul next after Wolf, and Nomax was the winner!
So here we are. Comparisons for both clothed and nude and then the regular 4k images.

Not too much change to the character itself, was decently happy with him which is probably no surprise given how often I draw him compared to any of the others. But a touchup was still well appreciated for him, I think.
The clothes saw a much...

Wolf Kitty, Dice Dare & SmallYu Portrait - 5$ tier

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing alright.

We got quite a bit in this pack, i guess just how it goes with me skipping the one on the 25th. We got the Dice scene, the Smallyu Portrait and the Wolf with the kitty picture. Including sketches, step by steps and in some cases some other parts that were part of the process.


And of course as always we also have the 15% off coupon if you'd like to pick up some prints. The code is : UVMEWBX

Schwartz, Perce & Wolf Kitty - 2$ tier

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing alright.

We got quite a bit in this pack, i guess just how it goes with me skipping the one on the 25th. We got highres and wallpaper version for all the pictures and also a somewhat larger version of the Wolf getting his by ship's biscuit doodle. Not crazy large because it's just a small doodle, but better than nothing.

And of course as always we also have the 10% off coupon if you'd like to pick up some prints. The code is : VQVHPE

Wolf kitty, Smallyu Portrait & Dice Dare - 10$ tier

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing alright.   

We got quite a bit in this pack, i guess just how it goes with me skipping the one on the 25th. We got the Dice scene, the Smallyu Portrait and the Wolf with the kitty picture. Each one of them of course in PSD shape, so if you like you can have a peek through them.

Early Bird - Smallyu Portrait

Oh, what's this? That's not Conway-related at all!

Nope, a bit of a deviation here, but I got the chance to paint Smallyu's character in a trade and just couldn't say no to that. Took a good long while to actually squeeze it in in between all the game related work, so i think i started this one back in August. But we made it there in the end, that's what counts.

Early Bird - Dice Dare

And here we have the art for the different dice dare scenes. 1 and 2 are pretty easy to get though for #3 you'll have to have some stars to align. But of course you all get a peek here :D

Fun scene to write and I hope you all enjoyed the new update. :)

Conway Update 8 - Patch announcement

Hey hey, just a quick announcement that I've replaced the Update #8 game files with new patched ones.
Among them are plenty of typo fixes and some gameplay fixes that slipped by. So if you've downloaded the game before this post was public you should think about getting the new files.

Big thank you to birdsongchoir in Discord for pointing me to these issues!

Conway - Update 8: Lady Luck

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing alright?

Well, why not put the links up here from now on, since they're getting too big to actually upload to Patreon itself? So here, take your pick:

Conway Character Update Poll

Hey everyone!

Got another poll for you and it's about which character should get their graphical v2 update first.
Thing is, as with everything, now almost a year into the project I just have a bit of a better feel for what I want Conway to be, and that includes the look of the characters, so pretty much all of the main cast is in need of an update.
For some that will be a more major overhaul, for others it's smaller, but all of them need it. Just refine the design, up the qualit...

Eden Feedback video for september

And we got another feedback video this month! This time around for Eden and we'll be talking values, shadow and light and all that good stuff! Enjoy :)

Early Bird - You're not supposed to feed it...

...but who's going to tell him?

Started as a bit of a promo image, but should be able to find some use for it in the actual game as well. So yeah, have some Wolf, and say hello to Michael, one of the ship's cats.

A heartfelt thank you to all of you

I just mentioned this in discord but realize that not all of you are present there of course, so let's say it over here again.

Just noticed that we crossed the 1k mark for the first time ever today! So I wanted to say just a massive, massive thank you to you all.

Back around May or June this project genuinely was about a month away from being abandoned because I was essentially filling the gap with my own savings month after month, which of course is not a situation that is tena...

September 2023 Djano Feedback Video

We got a feedback video for Djano this month. In this one we'll mainly talk about colours and lighting. So maybe check it out if you're interested in that!

Also NSFW image, so just be aware of that.
