March 5th Post

Vadik won the poll, so I'll be doing a scene for him in this upcoming Cursed update. So far, though, I've only gotten the Murki stuff complete because I've unfortunately have the worst case of writer's block that I've had since I worked on Cohabitation. Any time I sit down to write a scene for Theo, Alcander, or Vadik my mind just goes blank and I can't think of any ideas. I'll keep chipping away at it and hopefully I'll break through it before long.

Sorry for the short update. I just d...

February 5th Post

For February I'll be focusing on the next Cursed update. It'll revolve around adding more content to Kodu and the swamp area. In particular, I'll be adding more scenes for both Theo and Alcander plus one other character. For the swamp I'll add repeatable versions for the siyokoy HJ and Radcliff's HJ, which will set-up future lewd scenes with them. I'll also be introducing Murki, a siyokoy party member you can recruit in the swamp. You won't have to load a pre-swamp save -- he'll have differen...

Debt v0.20 Release

What's New:

- Adds in a new story event and the first HJ scene. You can see it by going to bed during the Night period.

*****

That probably doesn't sound like much but it's a fairly long event. I had to segment it into four different sections for it to be manageable. I didn't add a repeatable version of this particular HJ event because it's meant to be a kinda awkward 'first time' and I already plan to have a repeatable HJ event for each time section. Speaki...

January 8th Post

For January I'll be working on the next Debt update which will feature the next story segment, which will include a handjob and groping. I'll also add a repeatable version of the scene. Beyond that I'll also be working on the next Cursed update which will focus on further fleshing out Kodu and adding extra stuff to the swamp. I'm thinking of putting up a poll in February for that Cursed update that'll allow patrons to pick a character to get some content. I won't include Alcander or Theo in t...

November 14th Post

I've finished building all the swamp maps for Cursed. There's 7 of them and 3, maybe 4 (haven't decided if I should put enemies in the first map or not), have enemies in them. I've got half of the events written and about a quarter of the renders done. So, it's still on track for being released... sometime this month. This update'll feature the first sexual scene, which revolves around Thea trying to find a way around a group of Siyokoy; you'll have three ways to do it: kill them, give them f...

Debt Intro Release for Patrons & Public Release of Cursed v0.15

Debt:
- The intro plus the first 'chats' with Debra during the Morning, Afternoon, and Night periods.

I played through the intro and current chats and found no bugs, so hopefully there's no issues with this release.

Cursed:
- Nothing new added, just a public release of the old links, which you can find here:

October 2nd Post

Still working on the first release of Debt. I keep waffling between design ideas vis a vis interaction. My idea for the game's flow is basically: 'event > free play > event > free play > event' and so on like that, with the 'free play' part being where the player can do the various repeatable actions with Debra.

The problem I kept going back and forth on is how much interaction to allow the player during those free play periods. At first the idea was to let the player wander...

Poll Results

Debt won by a landslide with more than 3/4ths of the votes, so that'll be my side-project game. I'm going to start working on getting the intro for that done. Beyond doing the story for the intro plus those renders I'll have to do the various interactive 'map' screens like SWAK and Cohabitation had, plus I need to do a more complete outline for the game's content now that it's definitely the one I'm going with. With all that in mind, I'm hoping to get the intro done by the 30th or within the ...

August 7th Post

For August I'll be focusing on polishing and filling Kodu with content. It'll feature the start of the relationships with at least Alcander, Theo, and Vadik, but also possibly Ramsey and Hadley. I'll also be adding the ability to work various jobs in the town. Additionally, I'll be adding in generic NPCs to give the town some life and working further on the tilesets so that everything is layered properly and you're not walking on tables.

I'll also be adding in the ability to see Thea's ...

Cursed v0.10 Release

This goes up until Thea gets cursed and leaves the magic shop. Save your game after that, there's no content beyond that point. 

This intro section has roughly 30 minutes of content depending on how fast of a reader you are and how thoroughly you explore every place.

There's no real 'hidden' content in this update. Kodu is pretty barren in terms of NPCs and stuff to do right now, so I'd suggest just going along with what the quests tell you to do. I also didn't get around to ...

July 10th Post

For July I'm focusing on getting the first release of Cursed completed. This release will go up to the point right after Thea gets cursed and finds out what she has to do to rid herself of it. It'll include one dungeon that'll act as a tutorial, introduce Thea's hometown of Kodu and its residents, and setup the main plot.

Speaking of Kodu, one of the main changes I've made since I last talked about Cursed is that Thea's family now runs the tavern & inn, while Vadik only owns and ope...

SWAK Retrospective & v1.0 Release

- Brief History -

Unlike Cohabitation this one doesn't really have a particularly long or interesting background to it. When I was around 3/4ths of the way done with Cohabitation's development I started messing around with Daz3D. The first couple of models I made (and looking back at them now, some of those models were pretty ugly) were for a game called Common Life, a large dating sim I still haven't gotten around to yet because I don'...

June 5th Post

For June I'll mostly be focusing on completing the first release of Cursed, which will feature the intro that'll set-up and introduce most things in the game. I also have a retrospective for SWAK's development planned that I hope to complete by the middle of the month. I'll also be releasing a v1.0 of SWAK, which will be public. The only new things to it will be a day-skip feature and (finally) a title screen.

I still have bunch of work to do with Cursed, so if I feel like I'm going to ...

SWAK v0.99 Release

What's New:

- 90 day time limit. I've updated the intro to mention it. Also changed the stat menu, so now it reads 'Total Days: x / 90'.

- Added endings. Once you hit day 90 your ending will then trigger in the Afternoon period. If you didn't reach the blowjob event you'll get Ending A. If you reached the blowjob event but not the sex one you'll get Ending B. If you did reach the sex event you'll get Ending C.

- Free play mode. After you see your ending you'...

May 8th Post

For May I'll be focusing on adding the endings to SWAK. Which ending you get depends on how far you've gotten with Katie before Chris' parents come back. I'll be adding a 90 day time limit to the game, once you reach day 90 you'll see your ending. There'll be three endings, which one you get will be triggered depending on:

1) You didn't reach the blowjob event.
2) If you did reach the blowjob event.
3) If you reached the sex event.

Each one will be longer and more 'complete'...

Cursed stuff

This post will be about some of the gameplay features I plan to implement in Cursed. One of the purposes of this game is to learn by trial-and-error, so expect the actual execution of some of these to be fairly rough or perhaps even an outright failure. With that optimistic and inspiring intro out of the way, here are some of the ideas.

Dungeons:

- Interactive solutions. Every so often you'll come across a problem in a dungeon that Thea will have to solve to conti...

April 10th Post

This month's SWAK update will focus on the final relationship scenes between Katie and Chris. Right now I have concepts down for a new watching TV scene, another of them cooking together, and one of them just talking during the morning period. If I can think of anything good for a new pool scene I'll do one of those, too. Lastly there'll be a new sex scene, of them doing it in the shower. This should be done and uploaded on the 30th.

For Cursed I'll probably do a post talking about som...

While Hadley was fine continuing to live in Kodu, Thea wanted to travel and see more of the world and thus left him behind.

The March update for SWAK will finally include what everyone's been waiting for: actual sex. It'll have a scene dedicated to their first time and then a couple of other scenes of them having sex around the house. This update should be finished and uploaded by the 31st of this month.

Beyond SWAK I'm going to try to get a post up about Cursed, specifically about the main cast that Thea will be spending most of her time with. I'm not sure when exactly I'll do this post but it should be som...
