Yes this is a day earlier than normal. Basically dong this now as I don't want it to be hanging over my head tomorrow and distracting me as I focus to get this dang hotfix out the door.
A patron on my discord joked that this update was cursed a couple of weeks back.
They were not wrong.
Should be out ASAP and then I can put this mess behind me cause effing zogging nora this has been not good in every sense of the word.&...

Starli returns with yet another simply superb work. Her first gorgon is now sitting on top of the pixiv in terms of reception so hopefully this will go over in a similar fashion.

A fourth go round for ShadowBoxer and due to me being unable to choose we ended up with three different colour variations for the ooze turned trader. Whether that means this is Ooze Incorporated, an (Usc) Ooze with a talent for changing colours taking advantage of the rubes like someone else might use a fake moustache, or possibly just a bunch of identical ooze sisters who all think they can be the one to outdo the others at this whole merchanting thingy, well I'm happy leaving that up to you...

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.

I must must stop mentioning time frames as it seems like everytime I do a disaster happens, be it external or just in my head.
In this case it's that the Arrogance Storyline extention is still broken right now and I'm finding it seriously hard to unbreak it. I also don't want to just cut it for now as the patrons who funded have been waiting way too long to put it lightly and I really want to make this the last hotfix so it can also be t...

Well that was fun.
To cut a long story short I lost my mind, wait no that's Spandau Ballet.
Okay what actually happened is that I had this whole overly ambitious plan for the Emmisary rework. Had to face the fact that it was way, way too much to be finished anytime soon so most of this week ended up being stripping it back out again, making sure I hadn't broken anything by doing do as it was tieing into a bunch of other mechanics,...

Opalescent returns and dang if that isn't a rather impressive return with the lovely art you see above. Just nailed the pitch and even worked in some refferences for me to those ancient times before a certain Rough Landing when I was doing edited MC captions on the Collective.

Yay, got the rather substantial hotfix out with a lengthy changelog that ended up being significantly longer than the one for the actual update.
If you're not on those tiers, you can see it in full on my twitter.
I've started work on the next one, and what should also be last hotfix for this update and that'll be out at the end of the month. That will also be the public release.
Looking even further ahead the upda...

At last it's done!
I hope that the changelog below for this hotfix being much longer than the actual update was goes someway to explaining why this took me a bit.
Will likely be one more cause, as mentioned, there's a lot that's been changed, and there's a couple of things that still do need finalizing. Which is mainly the new Emissary stuff. That though should be done by the end of the month so I can get on with 0.98.

Well this is going to be a challenging crop to find some part of this one that's okay to post on Tumblr.
After the amazing job that Joix did with the last two Savage Orcs they did for me I had to go back to them for this one again.

The artpocalypse finally gives up the final piece at last of what was delayed for so very, very long. (For those newer to the patreon, that's the term I use for this sudden onset of a bunch of super non ideal stuff that happened to a bunch of different artists that I had commissions outstanding with around the start of last year. Also there's technically another one still outstanding but as that was already been outstanding for a good nine months before the true start of the artpocalypse ...

No sections for this one as everything comes under the one topic.
Hotfix will be out ASAFBP i.e as soon as fricking bloody possible. Lots of improvements, lots of fixes, and way too many of them that's taken way too much lenghthy time consuming testing. Oh I can't wait until I don't have to deal with RAGS, and that's not even counting the times when the designer just decides to crash without warning. I make a lot of backups to put it lightly.
It won't be out tomorrow o...

Been working on the first big hotfix which should be out reasonably shortly. I think the changelog with all the fixes might be longer than the actual update was. There's also a bunch of polishing up of the patreon specific stuff to get into a much better actually working state.
Also comes with a new mechanic I'm really pleased with that came out of a conversation on a discord. Wasn't actually what the patron wanted, but when I raised the idea ...

So in February I said:
So about 14-15 months back when I was feeling super confident for once I decided to get some portraits done and picked dwarfs and another race as I figured they'd be ones most unlikely to get through the polls. I also fancied trying out the albino look I was thinking about for the more mountain dwelling dwarfs before using it in a full commission.
Then the artpocalypse happened and both of the portrait commissions were the ones that got hit the wor...

Second day of commissions though this one wasn't saved as I got the final version of this one yesterday.
Really liked the idea of showing the after on this one, so rather than just getting the poll pitch you can see in the first image, you're also getting what happened several hours later.
Awasof did such a good job on this one. Possibly in relief I wasn't asking for the ludicrous pitch again that was Some Enchanted Nightmare. Though I think we maybe got close with has...

Had this one for a couple of days but wanted to post the update first so those of you on Starli's patreon might have seen this already.
Starli is such a great artist to work with as she's by far the one most likely to go 'hey how about this'. They did a sketch that was pretty much spot on to how I pitched it, i.e. from behind the dwarf looking up at the stage, but also provided this take, and another as well, and with some extra ideas bounced back and forth and you get the wonderf...

Usual caveats of if you don't mind waiting a bit longer for the hotfixes that will be the more complete and likely to work experience. Got literally pages of bug fixes and things to check out I still need to get to.
I've kept you waiting long enough though and at least quite a bit of the stuff below I have managed to test already and it does appear to be working correctly.

Didn't want to do this as they've been going really well, and it's been nice getting back into good regular habits, but I'm cancelling the streams for this week.
So to next Tuesday they are now off and if the update isn't out, the Thursday and Friday ones are also going to be off, and if it goes past then well that's super bad, and I really don't want to consider it being any later than that.
Not helped is since the last one of these I've had a surprise family thing thrown at m...

Edit: Joixxx just sent over a much, much higher res image for this one that I wasn't expecting (hence posting this one already) so I've updated this post with it.
Occasionally I've got a comm that perfectly nails the feel of the setting I'm going for with No Haven. Scout the Deep Mountains was one, Investigate Coastal Caves was also one, and this very much to me is another. Joix just did such a superb job realising this concept. They were also really good at addin...

Well I knew deciding to focus more on the conversion this year was going to be rough and somewhat disruptive both with the streams and the extra working out I need to do offline, but this was far rougher than expected to put it lightly both in terms of time management and the patreon.

Another go round for ShadowBoxer after their nice takes on both the punny ho and the bio-bun. Bit I like the most is the tattoos on the Trollop which is the most spot on so far for getting the look I had in mind for them right. No totally not the tri-force tramp stamp here :D
