Hey everyone!

This week, I decided to revisit the first part of Chikara's romance quest. In my initial plan for this encounter, I intended to have the player actually go into the manor with Chikara and do a little Thief-style burglary, but the time constraints when I was initially adding it didn't allow for very much in the way of gameplay here. This next build will address that by adding in the originally planned thieving which will include not one, but two separate scenes!

As yo...

Biweekly Build #88

Hi everyone!

This week, I've got some more progress on Eliza's relationship quest to share. This includes a new scene! Additionally, I've added a polyamory toggle to the game options for players who want to be able to romance every character with no consequences.

Another thing that's been bothering me is Keer'La's images and thereby all of the greemle images in general, so I went ahead and redrew them all. I was trying really hard to keep within my "4 colors per asset" limit for e...

Hey all!

Just finishing up the third stage of Eliza's relationship quest! Something interesting to note here is that during the date, she will ask you if you're seeing anyone else. Surprise, the romances are monogamous in Silkfang! You can lie to her, but that will probably have repercussions later on...

That's all I have for you now, next week will probably be more romance stuff. 

Stay tuned!

Biweekly Build #87

Hey all!

I spent this week working on the next step of Mayor Eliza's romance questline, but I ended up needing to make more new art assets for it than I expected, so that's going to take some more time. 

New content in this build includes new portraits for nearly half of the characters in the game as well as a requested hint feature which you can access by talking to Ilrit in the Silkfang. Hopefully this will help smooth over some playthroughs.

Makeovers!

Upon finishing the redraw of Siphra's face, I realized that the quality of a lot of the faces in Silkfang, especially the ones drawn early in development were lacking, so early this week, I went through and touched up all the romance and elemental champion faces. As you can see, this makes a big difference for characters like Silvana and Mayor Eliza.

I've also been working on a new "quest tracking" feature for Ilrit which will allow them to provide you hints on what to ...

Biweekly Build #86

Hey all!

Small build this week. Taking into account the new romance quest model, I have been modifying Siphra's code to reflect this framework as well as the rewrite I have decided to do to her story. She's the only romance who's going to receive a story rewrite as it stands now. 

That's all I've got for you at the moment, have a good week!

Behold, Siphra-(the earth zone romance)'s new face! Pretty cute, no?

As part of my work on the romance content of Silkfang, I decided to redesign Siphra's quest to make it fit better with the framework of the rest of the romances and a facelift was a no brainer as her entire story is going to change. The rest of the romance characters will likely get their faces revisited as well, but not all as drastically as this one. 

That's all for now, more next week!

Biweekly Build #85

Hey everyone!

The care-house is finally done! Whoopee! This last section contains another scene along with some extra things if you have them enabled, and an optional large CG that can be seen if you're good and sneak out of bed.

With this content finished and the school semester done, I'll have a few weeks with which to work on some of the romance options. I'm thinking the "reward" for completing these romances could be a large CG like the one in this update. These are easier on ...

Build's Gonna Be Late, Sorry!

Hey all!

My third Covid shot ended up laying me up for the better part of last week, so the build is gonna be a little late this time. Hoping to have it up by midweek, but it may be earlier depending on how long the new art takes.

Thanks for your patience!

Hey all!

Still feeling a little off today, but I wanted to get this out anyway. This next build is going to represent the culmination of the care-house content. After this, I'm debating whether or not to use my holiday break to work on main-path story stuff or to keep going on the romance content. We'll see!

Preview Coming Later!

Hey all!

I got my Covid booster shot this Friday and it's been doing a number on me all weekend. Hoping that I'll be feeling better by tomorrow so I can do a proper preview.

Thanks for waiting!

Biweekly Build #84

It's finally done!

Well the bath section of the care-house is at least. I almost didn't get this one in on time, but I did say I'd have it up before the end of the month and that's what I was going to do no matter what.

This update adds the bath portion of the care house which has a scene with 3 levels of intensity. Hope you all enjoy! Oh, and don't forget to tell me if it breaks!

Just getting into fall break at this point, so I'm gonna have more time than usual. Plan is to hammer away at Silkfang as much as possible with the hopes to have an update for you guys this coming Sunday. Wish me luck!

Caught In The Act

I'm still plugging away at Silkfang, hoping to have an update for you really soon. Probably gonna be a few more of these art pieces, but I'm pretty sure I'll have the build ready by the end of the month. Stay tuned!

Art + Info

Hey all!

I'm finally starting to feel recovered from my sudden international trip, but life is still pretty hectic for me right now as the semester draws to a close. I'm gonna try to work on Silkfang a little each week, but there may be a few more of these art pieces before things calm down enough to get more dev time in. Apologies if you were expecting a build, I'm still working on it!

Family Emergency - Content Delayed

Hey all,

Due to a sudden family emergency, I was pulled away from work and flown to the home country of my partner to attend what we thought was going to be a funeral. Luckily it wasn't, but I pretty much had to just drop everything and go (I packed a very barebones collection of clothes and toiletries). I will be back in the US in the next few days, but I obviously won't be able to do anything from here.

Sorry for the delays!

Happy Halloween!

With spooky season right around the corner and me still not caught up with Silkfang, I figured this was a great opportunity to put out something for my favorite holiday! Hopefully by next week, I'll be back on track, but maybe you'll get another Halloween image, we'll see.

Thanks for your patience, and have a great week!

Got Swamped This Week, Have A Picture

Hey all!

I had a deadline unexpectedly moved up at school this week, so I ended up having to crunch really bad for a project that's due soon. Unfortunately, that means that there won't be a build this week, but the content must flow!

Apologies, and please enjoy this image for now while I'm playing catch-up!

Hey all!

This week, I've been continuing to plug away at the care house content as well as fixing some reported bugs. I had to devote extra time this week to my school projects, but next week should be a little more free. 

On another note, this project, as well as SOT, and NOTSD (abbreviated because creepy "we're watching you bub" popup from Patreon that literally shows while I type this) now have itch.io pages. Relatedly, I've created a SubscribeStar account for the potentia...

Biweekly Build #83

Wow, this one was tough. Balancing grad school and my work here is getting really difficult, but I'm still managing.

This build has the first section of the care-house content in it which will give you a taste of what to expect in the next two sections. Those should be ready by next build. I wanted them in this build, but seeing as how it's 5pm on Sunday as I upload it and write this, that wasn't gonna happen.

Okay, builds below!

Hey all!

This week has been a busy one, but I've been plugging away at this new feature I mentioned last week. It's got some of the most complex art I've done yet and two separate scenes to boot (so far)! It's basically gonna be a mini-version of a game idea I had in the past which was to find as many ways to misbehave within an allotted time period and an appropriate punishment will be given as a result. Hoping to have this thing completely in by next build, but it's a lot. Thanks for ...

Biweekly Build #82

Hey guys!

This week has been a lot of foundation work for upcoming cool stuff. First of all, I've got plans laid out for 4 of the 6 romances. Each one should have some good character stuff as well as some fun scenes, lewd and otherwise. As part of this stuff, Siphra (the earth zone romance) is gonna be pretty heavily changed, but I think her new story will be better and more fun than the last one. 

Concrete work, besides the stuff from last week, was on adding a new step to E...

Hey all!

I've been saying it for a while: Fee's in-scene face needed an update. The old version was based on her original dialogue portrait which wasn't even accurate anymore and it just looked... bad. So, the bulk of my stuff this week has been going through every previous scene in the game and swapping out the old faces for these new ones. I also went ahead and revisited Keke's scene (the cyclops), and added the new crying faces I made last week into that one. 

Next week is...

Biweekly Build #81

Hey all!

This week was intense and I ended up working on this build basically right up to the wire. But, that doesn't mean I'm not about to drop my favorite scene I've ever animated on you guys! This finale to the slime cave dungeon has been added and it features one of the largest animations I've made to date (almost 100 frames). It also makes use of a new fetish toggle option I've made available. In order to see the full scene, you'll need to configure your fetish settings at ...

Hey all!

This week, I've been working on the romance questline for Chikara, the bandit boss! She was the one you all selected in the poll and I think her story will be pretty interesting and fun. Will Fee allow her principles to be eroded to impress the lady thief, or will she stick to her convictions and bring the hammer down? Only you can decide!

Biweekly Build #80

Hey all, feeling a lot better! Not quite 100% yet, but I'm miles better than I was last month.

So, as I said last week, this build is mostly bugfixes/changes, but it does include some additions as well. Some people pointed out that the scene with the character in the image above cannot be repeated, so I made it repeatable! Not only that, but as I was working I noted that the scene had less dynamic animation and no bottom-reddening, so I went ahead and redrew it to bring it up to the sta...
