Figured I'd toss up a WIP of a new Character for Vorell from the Maritime Menagerie supporters. I figured we'd best get going a bit ahead of time, so Reggie here will be the first minor character for Morocco.
Still a bit wonky but we'll get there.
Uh oh, i think i may have forgotten to plop down the post for this?
Sorry if I did!
Anyway, cheat code for Update 13 would be: dolphin
As usual, it'll unlock everything in the gallery.
Just gotta plop it in, start a new game, and potentially you'll need to restart the game if it's your first time activating a cheat code. (it's a bit fiddly, sorry, i'll try to sort it out eventually.)
That's all :D
Hey everyone! Update day! We made it past the unlucky 13 without too many incidents, so it's smooth sailing for this one (fingers crossed)
As always, of course, if you encounter any Bugs/Typos/Whatever, please let me know, so that I can sort them out. :)

Not all things that change during updates are big new art pieces or new scenes. Every Update also usually comes with a couple of small bits and bobs that I had the time to fix/refine.
So why don't we sit down for a sec to see what small bits and bobs those will be for Update 14?
First off, I've sat down to adjust the tail animations to cut down on the loading times.
Renpy has a bit of an odd animation system, so unfortunately animations can very easily lead ...
Uh oh, the gallery has a new addition?! Welcome the new crew member "Other", strange name, but oh well.

And at last i finished this scene artwork. Got 8 versions in total which will appear in-game for Update 14 if you decide to go that route. :)
Enjoy!
Was this high on the priority list? Naaaaah
Did i really want to do it to get my mind off of things? Yaaaaah
And yeh, there isn't really "loading" in renpy, but this screen will essentially be used in stead of the black screens to show when time passes. Whether that is between days, or just between two scenes.
In game it'll be the animated version that can be found in the attachments.
And i figured, that looks pretty alright, so let's make some variants that can be used as...
Hey everyone,
hope you are all doing well over there. In this month's 5$ pack we've got the step by step process for the Perce BJ scene artwork (as it stands currently, might still get some adjustments)
Step 1 and 2 are done in Rebelle, photobashing, painting, but then as I always seem to do with Rebelle, kind of ran out with it, and had to switch to Photoshop.
I'll maybe bring it back into Rebelle again for some of the finishing brushwork, we'll see.
Anyway, I hope you'l...
Hey everyone,
hope you are all doing well over there. In this month's 2 pack we've got the highres and vertical wallpaper version for the recently released Rebelle Portrait.
Change is scary and never change a running system and all that, and so i don't usually play around too much with programs other than photoshop. But I've been experimenting with rebelle a bit recently.
I... kind of like it? Idk, I suppose it's like every art program where it's got its strength and weaknes...
Hey everyone,
hope you are all doing well over there. In this month's 10$ pack we've got the PSD and Rebelle files for the Perce BJ artwork (as it stands currently, might still get some adjustments)
Rebelle took over the early part before switching to Photoshop for that familiarity.
I'll maybe bring it back into Rebelle again for some of the finishing brushwork, we'll see.
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it and thank you very much for your support!
Alongside that we ha...
Hey everyone.
There is a chance that you've already heard about this since it's already making the rounds on social media. But just in case you haven't, I figured I'd leave a note here to everyone who follows this Patreon.

Tiny little preview for Update 14, it'll finally have Sam's pronouns change accordingly, depending on if your character knows about Sam or not.
The reason i initially just keeping the male pronouns was simple. I didn't know how to do it any better lmao. And the idea was that James just kept using the male pronouns in his head so that he wouldn't slip up. So it all stayed male for the time being.
But it became clear quite quickly that it only ended up confusing people, and so it ...
I've set this one aside to do the variants later, but i figured I might as well get this one out in the open. Might be changed still, might not. Actually, just realizing i kept the whiskers layer turned off, so it'll certainly change a little bit when i turn it back on lmao.
Don't act surprised that this is how the getting booze path would go, you all know what this would entail. It's an adult VN >:(
It's a birthday Update!
Those ears are one year older and they come with a present. The present of a free new Conway Update. :D

What's new and what's changed for Update 13 then?
Story Updates:
-A new scene after the decision to stay on the ship.
&nb...
Hey guys, once again turning to you to let me know which one you would prefer me to focus on first.
If you stay on the ship without the bribe there are two paths that it can go to, One with Wolf under the boat, and then one with Raj in her room. Both of them are currently unfinished in the WIP update that just released and I'm not sure if I can manage to get both of them done in time.
So that's where you come in! Do you want me to focus on the Wolf path first? Or the Rajeeyah on...
Hey everyone!
1st of August, birthday for me and the great thing about my birthday is that you all get the present of a WIP Update :D
As always for WIP updates first thing's first: !!!DO NOT SAVE IN THE NEW SECTIONS!!!
They are still unfinished and subject to change, so it's possible that you might end up on wrong paths in the final update or, in the worst case, the save might just straight up break.
The cheat code for this version is: dolphin

Ugh this picture took... foooooooreveeeeeer.
Way too long, but at long last i can knock it off my to-do list. First it just took long because it was a tricky one that didn't want to get finished, then it took long because i realized i didn't need it for the the last update, so it was pushed back a little. Whatever the case though, it got done in the end and that's what counts!
Also we got a ton of Maritime Menagerie characters in here!
From left to right we have the characters of...
Hey everyone! Update day, and let's hope 13 isn't some kind of unlucky update for us. :D
Alright, what's new, what's changed in this one? First off:
Important changes!:
I changed some things about how the game caches its images, it'll use RAM more extensively now. In my testing the peaks were just shy of 2GB. It ran fine on all my devices, which includes a 2016 phone, so hopefully it shouldn't cause too many problems. But please do let me know if you notice a...
Hey everyone!
Here is a little video going into what's new with the mentioned Replay function that's coming with Update 13.
Hey everyone! Just figured i'd leave a little note about it but we've hit the stretch goal for the Scene replays!
Thank you very much to all of you who decided to poke in your nose, and it might actually be ready for update 13 already. Don't take that as a promise of course, but the chance is there that it'll still make it in time.
So yeah, thank you all very very much once again! You all are amazing.
And after having finished all the v2 Characters recently, we now can tick the next box. Having finished all the secondary characters, with Torres making the last entrance after Konrad, Bandile and Perce.
Honestly, Torres slipped a bit into the background, and in general there wasn't much of a solid plan for the secondary characters. They're meant to mostly be just malleable characters that can be slotted into a scene when needed.
But we'll see, perhaps it was a bit of a bird and egg...
The road until the public release of Update 13 is still a far one, so i think it's best that you take something to help you along the way. How about a little teaser about what'll be new for it?
We'll have a cool new feature, and that is: Animations!
Few and far between for now, with only 2 tails if it all goes well, but of course gotta start somewhere.
Implementing it i noticed though that it might not be a feature that everyone will get to enjoy. Renpy is a bit of a bit of a fic...
hey everyone :)
Time for June,and apparently June time means Rajeeyah time, so in here we've got a few different highres versions of the v2 Raj character sprite, and also of course the usual 4k wallpaper sizes.
And closing out we also have the 10% print coupon: TLXVBZ

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing alright!
Didn't quite manage to finish the larger eagle feeding painting, so instead i'll be merging the 5 & 10$ packs this time and you all will get the rebelle & PSD files for the recent portrait.
I'll have to see in the future how i'll do it, because getting the PSD files from a rebelle file is kind of a pain in the ass... Have to export it layer by layer, and then the layers can be misaligned as well and well, good luck finding ...
I do always try to tag spots where I'm missing a certain expression for a character, and so, having some time for it i tackled some of the ones that were still needed. So update 13 will include some new ones for Wolf, Bandile, Arthur, Julian and Raj. So we're still missing a couple characters that i need to catch up on, but it's good progress already.
These will of course be fairly sparse since it's specific spots throughout the whole game where they're used. But going forward they'll ...
Figured that it's time to do one of these now that they all have their v2 rework.
So here you go, a size chart for the Conway main cast :D
Wanted to give Rebelle a proper test for a while, and finally managed to sit down for it (procrastination that is at least somewhat productive is the best kind of procrastination.)
But yeah, that program seems great! Might actually replace photoshop for me? Might be a bit early to say, but it does a lot of things right, while having at least the most important things that photoshop offers as well. It'll be interesting to see how it works out with another couple pictures.
Anyway,...
