Ode to the Living Wood
Brambles thick with twisted vines
Thorny, weaving, bleak, unkind
Neither rustic forest, nor noble trees
These trunks hold tales within their leaves
The living wood birth dryad sylphs
Sown by beithirs’ wooden horns 2020-10-25 02:11:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Marion will be expanding her wardrobe this chapter, and we'd like you to decide what color dress she wears for a very important scene!
We've narrowed it down to five color palettes. Which ones do you like best? (Multiple votes have been enabled for this poll)
And just as a reminder, here's her standard outfit:

Just to prove that not all shenanigans in this chapter take place in the barn, enjoy this barely SFW sneak peek of Malcolm and Marion in the bedroom!
Don't worry, Malcolm has been issued a snorkel for safety.

Pixie
Tiny and nimble, flying faster than most eyes can see, the pixie delights and deceives. Near in size to the pipistrelle bat, a pixie is but a mere miniature human-shaped being with gossamer wings that emit shining light as they flutter feverishly. These diminutive female figures flit about, most often in the night skies, and ne’er don a whit of garb. Though they perform their aerial dancing unclothed, they have a f... 2020-09-30 02:23:22 +0000 UTC View Post

As the Marion Chapter 4 scenes continue to roll out, the Scene Gallery setup keeps getting longer and longer... and I think we're at the point where the game has finally outgrown it! So, to accommodate all the art we've been producing, I've updated the code and reorganized the gallery into something much more streamlined.
With the next build, you will see that the Scene Gallery is split into the same categories as the Navigation screen. Simply click the icons in the top row and it will ...

A new one is on its way, but it's on the slow boat from China, so just a heads up that this month may be light on art until it comes in! I don't anticipate it will delay the chapter at all, as there is still plenty of code to keep...

This chapter also has a comfortable place in which to split it into two satisfying parts, so in order to make a Beta available to you guys sooner, we've set up here the Beta Build of the first half of Marion's Final Chapter!
It's almost new-beta-build-time again! If you'd like to have your name omitted from the credits, or shown differently than your Patreon handle, please let us know in the comments, by direct message, or on Discord!
If you've already let us know your preferences previously, you're all set. Thanks again for helping us make the game possible!

Banarach
Whilst the flocks of sheep and passels of hogs are left to their own devices, the steadied and leisurely cows strewn about their pastures are watched over, sheltered and safeguarded by the loving mother milkmaid, the Banarach. The fiery redhead is pure magic, born of the Fae and sent by the faeries to offer her gift to farmers throughout Scotland. Her grace shields the herds from harm and defends them from hidden dangers.

First off, we're making good progress on Marion's final chapter, which is shaping up to be another good candidate for splitting into two Beta builds like we did Grace's Chapter 3. Last week I distributed the draft build of the first half of Marion's final chapter among the team, so we will finish sketching assets and choreographing the sprites to have a build ready for Beta Testers around the end of the...

Oft heard is the legend of the glaistig, the Green Lady, the embittered and beautiful blonde maiden, with a sulky visage and empowered aura. The spiteful spirit bears the name maighdean uaine because she dons a long, green robe to hide her mystical secret. What is that secret, you ask? Her hybrid form, of course. To the naked eye, it would seem this cursed creature is female. But when she reveals her legs, they are those of a satyrâ€... 2020-06-26 04:09:45 +0000 UTC View Post
