Sep + Oct Commission Poll

The full list of previous and outstanding commmissions can now be found here.

Fortnightly Progress - 18th October

All the releases for Tw0.3 have now been done, and it's now onto Tw0.4

Direction Polling for that has a week left to run, and this is how that's currently looking.

Just one vote in it currently. I did mess up with setting up the poll for the $25 tier and above with it running for only 9 more hours rather than also for another week like the main poll. So on the off chance you're on that ...

The 127th No Haven Commission - Iron-Clad Maidens

Murr returns and with a seriously gorgeous gobbo gal.

I asked them to go for opulence to really sell that this is one wealthy goblin and they sold the hell out of it. So many nice delicate details. Also yes she's from a rich enough family to afford a goblin sized dressing screen rather than one of those oversized human ones.

You can find more of Murr's work here and 2024-10-16 11:55:50 +0000 UTC View Post

No Haven Tw0.3 TF Edition

This is the same version that I posted two weeks ago today for the Discord tier and above.

Wow, that was a ride and a half. I'll talk about it more in a day or so in a Fortnightly. (Which I did not last Thursday but the one before)

Discovered a massive amount of variable issues from the first import when I was working on this . Had a bit of a freak out as you do, not helped by some other contributing factors, went mostly radio silent, and then after about a month of prett...

No Haven Tw0.3 N

This is the regular reiease edition of the version that I posted two weeks ago today for the Discord tier and above

The 126th No Haven Commission - Master and Cum-Catcher

I'm probably going to change the title yet again when I do get around to doing this assignment the way I keep flip-flopping on this one.

Xoicom returns with a wonderful depiction of why wearing random stuff found in the Deep Mountains is a terrible/amazing idea depending on your point of view. Still at least this valk is still getting a decent use out of their ambidextrous skills. Also do dig how the offscreen shadowy cock possessers ended up just being Nethemir with just the addition ...

Alternative September Commission Poll

Yes, it's totally still September. Do not look at the calendar, it's really not that interesting, it's just a bunch of numbers that only have what meaning we assign to them. Also see the most recent Fortnightly. That has the all important actually meaningful context.

To do a catch up on where we are as I left that out of the Fortnightly as I knew I was going to talk about it here.

March - Master also Cum-Catcher : Is done! Posting it tomorrow.

Fortnightly Progress - 3rd October

So that was not the amazing start to the whole new post RAGS era I hoped it would be.

Basically I discovered a massive amount of variable issues from the first conversion from the earlier RAGS version when I was working on Tw0.3. So much of it was inconsistent or just plain broken. Had a bit of a freak out as you do, not helped by some other contributing factors with my living conditions deteriorating once again. Turns out not being able to go to sleep until 1am or later, and the...

No Haven Tw0.3

Wow, that was a ride and a half. I'll talk about it more in a day or so in a Fortnightly.

Discovered a massive amount of variable issues from the first import when I was working on this . Had a bit of a freak out as you do, not helped by some other contributing factors, went mostly radio silent, and then after about a month of pretty much solid non-stop work everything from 0.991 has now been converted to Twine readable code. This is not the same as being actually usable, mainly as I n...

The 125th No Haven Commission - Completing the Collection

Yes, this will make a fine addition, etc, etc.

Croc returns with a lovely drow very much on display. They're such a pleasure to work with as this needed a fair number of adjustments over the course of the commission to get it right along with making some improvements to the initial pitch, and they were great about making all the changes as they came up.

The 124th No Haven Commission - Callous Doctrine

Yes, I know the title really doesn't at all fit with the amusing non-cannonical dialogue that Rammionn came up with for this one :D

And what wonderful art they came up with too. Absolutely nailed the pose, and I also really like how the background came out which takes elements from several different Dreadsea Coast based commissions.

You can be find more of their work on their twitter: https://twitter.com/Rammionn 2024-08-29 09:51:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Fortnightly Progress - 15th August

All the public releases of the last RAGS update are now done so we're officially now in a whole new era.

Thanks to that I've started up the Picarto streams again. Currently I'm working on converting the 0.991 RAGS export into Twine code as I have in mind a new mechanic that I'd really like to include in the next update, and I know I've changed the relevent bit in RAGS since I did the last export so it'd be sensible to be working of the most recent version before I change it up again. 2024-08-15 16:46:07 +0000 UTC View Post

July + Aug Commission Poll

The full list of previous and outstanding commmissions can now be found here.

To save you a click the winner of July's was Demi-Angel - Forage for Supplies so yes my stacking of the poll did work to finally knock out any kind of Foraging, but it was a dang close thing with Red Hot Chilled. Will talk about that more tomorrow along with posting the final state of the spreadsheet.

Alternative July Commission Poll

Please check out the Fortnightly I posted yesterday if you haven't done so already. That's going to save me repeating myself here for why the July commission poll is going up on the last day of July.

First three are from the Alternative May Poll, next three are me trying something new in trying to come up with a decent pitch for Forage for Supplies given it's one of the worst remaining placeholder arts and that it got a bunch of new functionality in the hotfix so I had to look at it a ...

Fortnightly Progress - 30th July

Sorry about going radio silent there. Combo of a surprisingly stressy time away from home, discovering after getting back my mum needed to go in for major surgery (she's on the road to recovery now thankfully), and a certain amount of just general brain frazzle to do with this being the last ever RAGS thing I'm hopefully ever going to do after being tied down to it for such a long time.

But now I'm free.

Free from the slowness, free from the even more extreme glacier like slowness...

No Haven 0.991 - TF Edition

Now this, all being good, is really the last RAGS thing ever. No plans for anything that's not in Twine from now on unless something majorly wrong in here forces my hand.

Sorry it took a bit. Will talk more about that in the Fortnightly.. That'll be Tuesday with the Commission Poll Wednesday, as tomorrow is going to be breathing the biggest sigh of relief ever.

Main highlight is not only did I get blue dilemmas working, but I added a bunch more from what were originally planned...

The 123rd No Haven Commission - Basic Sissy Training

Starli continues to be such a star with the first NH Fae done that wasn't either contributed by a patron or was funded by one as a bonus.

As a bonus they sent over a version without wings, and I asked if they were changing their eyes. So now they match the city elf cheerleader Murr did, and while city elves have incredibly diverse eye colours, given they have ancestry from pretty much any other NH race capable of doing so, it works nicely as a signifier for them in the art to differenti...

The 122nd No Haven Commission - Green Daze

I'm still away but if I get art that's finished then I can certainly post that.

And what lovely art it is too!

This was such a wonderful process as for once I didn't need to provide a full document and all the refferences which can take several hours or even more to put together. Instead I just gave Rammionn the gist of what I wanted, sent them the previous valkyne that murr did, and that was pretty much it.

The result was pretty much what I envisioned, better than that ev...

Fortnightly Progress - 14th June

Currently sitting at an airport gate so will make this short and sweet.

Got the last (not counting hotfix) update for RAGS in No Haven 0.99 out yesterday. You can find the full text of the post including the changelog on both Twitter and Bluesky.

My plan now is the commission poll will go up in the next couple of days presuming I survive the whole being in the sky thing. Probably all repeats and old ones is my current thinking what with being away and maybe not having the time to...

No Haven 0.99 - TF Edition

This is it. RAGS updates after this are officially over, and it's going to be all Twine, all the time.

Well, not counting the final hotfix which I'm aiming to be out in about two weeks, and definitely before the end of the month.

But still yay! Ding, dong the RAGS is dead!

Due to that I didn't look into how to solve the following suggestion, as it would have maybe involved changing every Assignment in the game, but I definitely thought it was worth mentioning so as many peo...

Fortnightly Progress - 26th May

To get the main thing out the way before I talk about my feelings and work process. The final Rags update will be out second week of June, next Twine update will be out before the end of July.

Reason I'm so actually confident for once in that is the writing for one of the hardest writing task I ever had to do is finally entirely done. This thing was up there with Thornspire for those who remember my many struggles with getting that one done. It's gone to the patron, they've fully appro...

Alternative May Commission Poll

Password is 'NoHaven' if you happen to be on my Picarto tonight at 8pm UK time, or in just under 4 hours from when this post goes up. Should be a fun time, and at the very least you can enjoy being there with me consuming the usual provisions needed to cope with yet another forgettable ballad.

First three are from the Alternative March Poll, next one is new, and the final two are the ones that lost out by a single vote in the Mar + Apr Commission Poll.

Itsy Bitsy Dre...
