Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 5

Handing this over once more to the patron who generously made this happen:

After a few tense rounds of voting we have found a winner: the unfortunate farmer that is desperately looking for hoes! Just selecting this prompt isn’t quite everything yet, though - now we get to flesh it out together! For the next week, we in the discord channel have time to ask ourselves a lot of questions, including but not limited to the following:

Where is this orc’s fa...

The Fifty-Eighth No Haven Commission - Decadence Like No Other

Dang, wasn't expecting to get such a good alternative fu. version on this, but as I said dang. Didn't even mention it when I was arranging this one, so definitely appreciate Starli thinking of it. They did a wonderful job with the Tagg design that Mavezar did such great job realizing originally.

The Fifty-Seventh No Haven Commission - Deeper into the Infestation

Appropriate for the follow up to the first Infestation assignment we get a continuation of the human noble's misadventures begun by Opalescent. Kate Starling did a lovely close of her getting more in touch with the mysterious infestation. Due to her going for more of a kneeling look rather than the lying down I was thinking of has now left space open for the final Infestation asssignment which I would like to do someday.

Fortnightly Progress - 26th November

• No Haven

You know how I mentioned this was going to be a big one last time? No kidding to put it lightly as this is going to be huge. To name just a few in the last day or so I've been working on a new trading assignment in the Ever Forest, getting the details right including the lore page of a new optainable unique character who will be involved to find to put it lightly, doing stuff for the new content to change how the Ensnared Rose is introduced, new nam...

Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 4

Perhaps due to the work of some depraved agent of chaos, who revels in nothing but confusion and missrule, last week ended in a draw. 

Would have been nice to just merge the two options into one assignment. They're just too different though. Saying that, whatever wins I'll try to work in a cameo of the other option in the final assignment. 

So after discussing it on the discord this week we're going to do a vote off.

If it's still a draw next week I'll just pick on...

Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 3

All the entries are in and now it's time to vote on them.

Presented in no particular order (stuck them into a random sequence generator so there really isn't):

Option 1.

The Empire's ambition to teach as many of its subjects as possible is laudable, ambitious, and at times marred with trouble. Not everyone lives even remotely close to even any larger villages, and there are plenty of parties who don't exactly care much for nor about the Empire's aims. Of course, thi...

Fortnightly Progress - 12th November

• No Haven

Hotfix came out, public release came out, and so now it's full ahead for the next update and it's going to be a big one. Got a new person whose doing an assignment tier content for this one (thanks for that!) which is not going to be an assignment, got a bunch of other patron funded stuff including the finale to the Thornspire, got a whole new race thanks to getting to the Nymph commission in the order I've been working through them, along with the ...

The Fifty-Sixth No Haven Commission - Hot Springs

Going back to the text with attachments for this one to protect those with more delicate sensibilities. 

Idea was for this to be more welcoming, even with the spa-der, but when I got this I absolutely did not want to change a thing, as frankly I think it's great just as it is. And if that's kinda seriously terrifying then so be it. 

Also a small cameo of far off terrorbirds which is a nice touch that I was really not expecting.

Alternative November Commission Poll

For those that are new the purpose of these polls are:

The idea with these ones is to improve the flow of art for the games by doing some more limited single character/two busts commissions on the off months while the larger commission polls will continue as normal. Used to do it only every other month before as commissioning could be surprisingly stressful having to often manage the constant delays that could last for months at a time among other issues that cropped up. Thankf...

No Haven 0.932 - TF Edition - Hotfix

Ideally this will be the public release too so then I can move onto 0.94. Though does include some new content so possibly will be some unfound issues with that and/or the fixes spawning new issues....

Fortnightly Progress - 29th October

It's been a really, really good month. I mean full on best ever month so far which is absolutely amazing. For sure it was mostly due to some people taking advantage of the new deal where you get a month off if you decide to go yearly on here did play a part in that. However it happend though I'm super grateful, and I'm rather blown away.

Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 2

Edit: We're giving this another week for more time to get entries. 

Though it repeatedly looked like the dwarves might come out on top for once, or even that we might have some dwarf on orc action courtesy of a draw, the orcs won the day in Week 1 with 57% of the vote. 

Now the idea is to make the initial pitches of what you'd like to see this assignment involve. As a reminder to quote from last time it has to involve:

First of this round of hotfixes. Mainly to deal with the spreading virus of mercenary thing, and a bunch of other stuff besides.

Bonus Commission - Mermaid

Also will be a Rare Great Plains assignment called the 'The Land beneath the Waves'.

The first representation of a NH style Mermaid and pretty dang metal right! 

I was hoping to get a bit more of that motorcycling Akira energy to her, but it's always tricky trying to do something new without any refferences at all for this kind of idea of a land going mermaid (least not that I've seen anyway), and I hope you still get some of that idea. I also think it would...

Discord Assignment the 3rd - Week 1

It's time for another one of these so I'll just get out the way and let the lovely patron that organises these give the introduction.

A year has gone by with plenty of changes to the game that we all know and love, but we can’t quite let it slip by without organizing one more of our annual Discord Assignment shenanigans, can we now?

Long-time followers of No Haven might remember how this goes, but I’ll summarize the details for any interested new...

No Haven 0.93 - TF Edition

Highlight for this one is definitely the slaver gear upgrades which will make what to use gold on a lot more interesting than it was before.

In the amazing timing RAGS is known for it crashed today and deleted over 600 timers (about half of them) for good measure. So this might be more spotty than usual as quite a bit of the testing fixes I had to recreate asap based on what I could remember. Just very happy I did have a backup saved elsewhere from earlier today or that could have been ...

Fortnightly Progress - 15th October

Reasonably short and sweet one so I can get back to testing. 

• No Haven

So yeah saying a week last time turned out to be very optimistic. Thankfully this update that turned into such a pain is now in testing, and will absolutely be out sometime tomorrow on the 16th.

The Fifty-Fifth No Haven Commission - Clit-Queen Training

The veritable art flood continues with the final part of the epic lesbian training saga.

Mephiscrypie has just worked wonders with these they really have.

You can find a link to the rest of their work here.  

This will be used for the new tertiary/final form of Lesbian Training, and maybe Neko slave, and Nethemir slaver examines...

The Fifty-Fourth No Haven Commission - Gorgon

Quite the deluge of new art all hitting at once this last couple of days. Which is good given the update is still being a pain. Making steady progress, but really should be out by now, and that's seriously aggravating enough to me, let alone what anyone else thinks about that. 

Leaving that alone what a great result for trying out a new artist! Asked for the stone drool for example, but that's so much better and more dynamic than what I was expecting.

Special thanks to the pa...

Bonus Commission - Shuffled Deck

Second of these 'funded by a patron, managed by me' ones in as many days. 

Murr did a fantastic job on another massive very complex piece, and that's even more so this time considering I said that about Nightly Bonding,  and you can find more of their work here.

The demi-angel getting stared down by the dove of judgement might well be familiar, and this assignment will involve her having rather lo...

Bonus Commission - Aversol Market Day

Thought I'd make use of the image post option for once given the only res available for this is not too large, and as it's a  SFW one. What I think I'll do in future is post the reduced pixiv/twitter size as the image preview and attach the big version as usual. Please let me know though if you'd prefer to get them both as attachments like before. 

This is one of those 'patron funded, managed by me' ones. Idea is to have a hub for various events that could be taking place on a...

Bonus Commission - Zharr Dwarf

Yeah, might have given up getting this one through the polls and that means in terms of racial representation in NH it's just Savage Orcs to go. 

Eladaer did a lovely job with her and really like how she turned out.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with her outside of the examine. I did have a rough...

September+October Commission Poll

For those not following the twitter before getting onto the usual commission stuff I'd first like to highlight that I got a very different one than the norm over the weekend.  

Long ago when I hadn't even thought of Rough Landing I used to do MC captions on the Collective when the original gallery was still a thing  Thought it might be neat to try getting one of them voiced, and the results was very impressive indeed. Senpai_Babe did amazingly, and you can find the re...

Fortnightly Progress - 1st October

Well that was non-optimal. Basic upshot was that my PC fell over badly last week which, among other things, entirely took down RAGS Designer.

Did a full Windows re-install, and there's some stuff that I still need to fix or recreate. To pick one example it turns out if you back up your profile on OBS that I use for streaming on Picarto, it will save your prefferences and what server to connect to, but not the screens which tell it where to put up things like the title bar. I also can't ...

Bonus Commission - Ample Distractions

Given the placeholder had both a non-canon-to-the-setting look for both the troll and elf this one was high up on my list to replace. 

Awasof has done a lovely job on providing a pair of suitably ample distractions if perhaps not quite as ample as a certain demi-angel. 

You can find more of their work here.   

In a nice move Awasof was up for showing more of the ne...

The Fifty-Third No Haven Commission - Advanced Lesbian Training

Got the second one of these, and as I know Mephiscrypie won't want to wait, here it is. PLus for a piece this good where for once I had to ask for no adjustments whatsoever at any stage from the initial pitch I gave them (this is rare) I would not have wanted to sit on this one for long anyway. 

You can find a link to the rest of their work here.&nb...

Fortnightly Progress - 17th September

•  No Haven 

Work progresses on the next update, which I'm currently thinking should arrive before the end of the month, and almost certainly by the next one of these.

Been working on the big marquis part of the update which is going to take the form of a new bunch of slaver upgrades to spend gold on. There's going to be one's for all the assignment types, will have three ranks each getting increasingly expensive, and will have some fun bonuses...
