Patreon Posts

I wanted to check with all of you to see how you prefer getting updates about AW. Lately I've been posting almost exclusively on the dev blog. I can imagine different perspectives on the issue, the convenience of not needing to leave Patreon to check for news vs. having your Patreon update feed seem cluttered. I figure the easiest way to decide what to do is to ask you, and it's a good chance to test out the polling system. :)

0.01.9 - Clothing Chaos

Version 0.01.9 is available attached to this post! This image is the map marker pin I created, but it just seemed wrong to have it with the pointy-end down...

Status Update / Progress Report

Hello everyone, I thought I'd take some time to let you know what's been happening, there's a lot of good news.

Brother Update:

My brother is doing amazing, and is actually being released from the hospital today. (I'm posting this from his room in the trauma unit.) There's been a lot of talk about miracles, which has apparently become a gossip item in the hospital (GMC) in Colum...

Emergency Update

I know this is inauspicious timing, perhaps even suspicious with this being so early on, but I've had a family emergency.

What Happened:

My younger brother was in a really bad accident. I won't go too much into detail, but we still aren't certain that he will survive, though thankfully it is looking hopeful at this point. He has several skull fractures, including one of the orbital bone for his left eye. He had an arterial brain bleed, and was airlifted fr...

Surprise Update - Version 0.01.8

I had some extra time at work today, so I decided to address some of the issues found with 01.7, including the libido setting issue and the save problem. I also included some cheats and mutations that were in my working files with this version.

I will be releasing this to the public fairly soon after posting it here, but did want to give you all a little head start. There's hardly any extra content, and the changes are mostly style/appearance. I am still working on the next build with clothes ...

Ambition and Adventure

First of all, I want to say thank you to all my early supporters, you've exceeded my expectations!

Ambition & Adventure

Accidental Woman is an ambitious project to be sure, but I believe that it's ambitious in a good way. Everything I've proposed is completely feasible, and the scope is constrained with a plan to get to the finish, so it isn't ambitious in terms of what is possible. I think it's ambitious in terms of making a really good game. I ...

Version 0.01.7 [public]

The first public version of Accidental Woman is now available!

It's taken a good deal of work, but the very first public version is ready. So far, only the prologue and character creation is available. There's a lot of work behind the scenes that you can't really see yet, and plenty more yet to come. Overall, 0.01.7 clocks in at 855 KB, which is already bigger than many Twine games I've seen at places like TF Games Site. It clocks in at over 51,000 words (includin...

Building a Parser

 There are two big challenges when it comes to writing a text-based adult game.
(Well... More than two, but I'll just cover two for now.) 

1. When characters have a lot of variables, it can quickly become a nightmare to write content. Making use of appearance variables can dramatically increase the time it takes to write even a relatively simple scene. Throw in personality variables and it becomes a nightmare. This usually results in either: a...
