Hey everyone,
I've just updated the patron tier benefits to better reflect my goals for this project as well as giving patrons more choice when it comes to support and which benefits they'd like to have access to. Please be sure to check out the changes to ensure you're where you'd like to be regarding support and benefits.
As always, I really appreciate all of your guys' support!!!!

Uhh.... Hey... So as many of you probably just noticed, there's a discord now... I did not realize it was going to start automatically pulling everyone into it before I even saved the tier changes XD. I thought it would start pulling beginning April 1st so I would have some time to give you guys a heads up. Now I know lol.
2021-03-30 16:56:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I've been thinking about updating the tiers and what they will offer. I want to know what kinds of benefits you guys would like to have in some of the tiers you're currently in or what would give more incentive to join a tier. I've also been considering adding early access to content at least a week prior to public releases of the game, but don't know if the game is in a good enough place to do that just yet. So mostly I'm trying to gauge what you guys would like to ...
2021-03-30 01:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostI forgot to post about it here, sorry you guys!
New update is available for the game. This update focused on getting all of the new sprites in the game and adding Aldric to the story as well as some coding tweaks behind the scenes. More info can be found in the devlog on itch.

Hey guys,
Meet the character you all helped bring to life, Aldric Sinclair. He will be the character related to the Holy Arts major, but will be romanceable regardless of your class choice. I really love how he turned out and hope you guys do too and are excited to see him in game when the next update finally comes out!
Anyway, back to work for me

Hey guys,
The holy boi is finished and I have to say, I love the way he turned out! Now he just needs a name. His last name is "Sinclair", but I couldn't settle on a first name for him. Below are the choices I was considering so I will leave it up to you to name him. I'll leave this poll up for a couple of days and then see what the result is.
As always, thank you all so much 2021-02-08 15:06:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys,
As the title says, here's a sneak peek of the WIP for the new Holy Arts Character (Name still TBD). What do you guys think of him so far? Once he's closer to completion or complete I may even set up a poll with a list of names I'm considering and let you decide.

Hey guys, guess who's here! That's right, Qrom sprites are finished and I can begin implementing them into the game. I've still got a lot of writing to do before I'm ready to release a new update, but with the sprites now here I can begin to polish things up and start writing more of his story.
2020-12-18 19:36:26 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all so much for taking the time to vote on these past polls and provide your input on the new character. Finally we have the results of all the polls and the new Holy Arts character will be a well-built gerberian shepsky!
I'm very excited to start working on this character and to be able to bring him to life in the game. Coming January, I'll be working with Bullstorm to create the visual assets for the character and after that is finished I will include him in that follo...
2020-12-17 21:36:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the final poll for the Holy Arts character where you guys will choose his body type. They're all fairly general and common body types. This poll and the additional breed poll will be up until December 17. After that, I will work with Bullstorm to create a character design based on all of your votes. (I may post WIP updates as we work on him, depending on artist TOS and other things.)
As a note, I will be disallowing hyper muscularity and hyper obesity as options as well as macro...

Follow-up breed question
Tallying the last poll, husky won with german shepherd being only 2 votes behind. Since both were so close I wanted to ask how you guys would feel about a Gerberian Shepsky as the breed (yes, it's a thing). Basically allowing both husky and german shepherd to win since they were so close in the end. Please vote below if that's something you guys would like or not.

2020-12-15 19:31:50 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all. Looks like domesticated doggos won the last poll. I'll list a few breeds below for voting (There are a lot dog breeds out there so listing them all is not gonna happen XD), but if there's a different one you'd like to vote for, leave it in a comment below and like the comment to vote for it. I'll tally the votes on December 15th. After that there will be one last vote to decide body type and then I'll start work on the character in the game and work on the design with ...
2020-12-12 18:38:19 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like the doggos won the last poll with bears being a super close second. This poll will be a short one in both answers and time. I'll tally the votes for this one tomorrow Dec 12. This is just to see what type of canine you guys want.
Part 3 will be to pick the species of whichever type wins here. While there are already three wild dog characters, there are still many possibilities to add different ones if it wins so no worries there.
2020-12-11 13:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all for voting and taking part in this. Looks like Mammal won for the part 1 poll with Avian being a pretty close second.
This part will be to narrow down to which type of mammal the character will be. Below are just a few examples of options. If there are others you'd like then comment below or like someone else's suggestion if it's already there.
I'll tally all votes for this in about another 3 days or so around December 10th or 11th.
The next poll af...
2020-12-07 20:59:29 +0000 UTC View PostI'm having some trouble deciding what type of character the romanceable character for the Holy Arts major should be. I figured I'd give you guys the chance to decide as a thanks for being patrons and as a way to engage with you guys. There will be a few different polls to narrow down the options as we build the character together. This first one will determine the branch of beast the character will be and later polls will narrow it down further. I'll tally the results of each poll after aroun...
