An Update

Hey, guys. So I've been thinking about trying a bit of an experiment this month and maybe releasing a partial release by the end of the month. Instead of my usual massive multi-month updates, I'd see what I can get done before the end of the month so I can have a more regular release schedule. The positives to this is content for you guys much more frequently and I'll feel a bit less overwhelmed since the project won't be this monstrously large thing looming over me like the sword of damocles...

Poll for patrons

So I was wondering, would patrons be interested if I started doing a monthly raffle where each month a patron selected at random would get a free custom render. This would be open to all patron tiers including $1.

For those who played it...

I'm curious which stories you liked the best. If you'd like to explain why, please feel free to comment below too. This will help me figure out a few things and ideas I have going forward with some of the future content.

The Update Has Been Released

It's out on all paid content tiers (Street Rat, Servant, Warrior, Sultan, Exile). If you decide to become a Patron, keep in mind that Apple now charges an extra 30% on top of regular fees for patreon for in-app purchases, so I probably wouldn't use that.

Update Has Been Released - Patrons

The update has been released to all paid content tiers (Street Rat, Servant, Warrior, Sultan, Exile). There will be no delay on this update between tiers since it was a special episode. The links are available through the appropriate channels based on your role on my discord (https://discord.gg/NrmVhvq). Make sure to 2025-01-13 18:24:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Release date

Tomorrow seems like a good day for release.

Test Version Out!

The test version has been uploaded and is currently being tested out by my beta testers. Once they give me the all clear (and I fix whatever issues they run into) it’ll be ready to release!

NSFW previews I mentioned

Just a little teaser. I don't want to spoil everything obviously.

Past, Present, and Future

I know I've been away for a good long while. Needless to say, I had a lot of bad shit going on in my life and it became nearly insurmountable. But I'm not here to make excuses or even really delve into my own personal bullshit. (If people are really, really interested, they can dm me or something and I'll see how I feel about opening up old wounds. No guarantees.) What I am here to do is twofold. First, I'd like to apologize for my absence, to the handful of you that hung around, as well as a...

Status Update: Pausing April Pledges.

Hey everybody. I was supposed to release the update in the next few days but I wasn't able to prioritize working on the game all that much this month. Seeing as so many of you were anticipating the release and I don't think it would be fair to you, I'm going to pause April pledges, meaning CURRENT PATRONS WILL NOT be charged for the month of April. Furthermore I'm gonna maybe cut back a little on some IRL job stuff in April so I can focus more on the game.

Chapter 4 Release Date

Hey everybody. I'm figuring end of March for the update release!

NSFW Astrid relaxing

Astrid decided to relieve some of her boredom. Not much to do sitting on a bigass throne all day.

Astrid looks good on a throne, wouldn't you agree?

Happy New Year!

As the crew, complete with their new looks, (and Darius for some reason) gather for a nice (sftw) supper, I'm also gathering some nice (nsfw) things for you in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Thanks again to that anonymous (extremely generous) donor.

Backing up

Currently in the process of backing up all my data for the failing daz drives onto a storage drive. A lot of content so it’s taking days. Have a new 12 tb drive being shipped to me this week to replace the dying ones. Will probably have to reinstall daz and all my assets on the new drive and check to make sure all my models etc still function properly. Not looking forward to that. And of course waiting for the new card to arrive and see if it gives the graphical errors.

Something is really wrong.

Since apparently the universe loves kicking me while I'm down, this bullshit is happening with my daz installation right now. There's a few things that could be happening here. At least I think. First I haven't screwed around with adjusting my daz settings or anything like that, but now every character comes out like the images you see here. I haven't installed any new hardware or assets either.

I also tested an old render to see how it would come out (the astrid deck one) and as you c...

Payment Pause for August

Hey guys. Obviously, based on my last post I've got some personal life things I need to take care of. I'm probably gonna travel to say my goodbyes to my terminally ill family member. With that in mind I'm going to pause August billing so my current patrons don't get charged since I haven't been able to dedicate enough time to working on the game due to this. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Sorry for not posting in a bit.

Hey sorry I haven't been around. Just wanted to say don't take your loved ones for granted. You don't know how long they'll be around or how much time you'll have to tell them how you feel.

Update on the Update!

Hello to all my long-suffering patrons! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer! I'm anticipating a late june/early july release for the update! As it gets closer I'll be asking you guys if any of you would like to volunteer for testing (probably with specific gameplay paths to test out.) I'll make a more formal post around that time for those of you who would like to test it out!

Astrid refuses to wear your silly pirate clothes. Or really much in the way of clothes at all to be honest.

Fun Fact: Whenever Aislinn's not in her cabin, her First Mate gets back at her by masturbating all over her desk!

Every ship needs a cabin boi! Taavi the cabin boy was referenced by Aislinn when she was talking to her First Mate in the arena, many, many moons ago. Get to know him in this update. Intimately if you so choose!

Just a little something to ease us into the teasers for the update. More on the way later on tonight (or early tomorrow depending on your time zone), plus some more...NSFW stuff!

April News

Hey everybody, long time no talk. I think you'll be happy to know I now have the time off to go back into full production mode this month! I've missed working on the game!

EDIT: No it's not an April Fool's joke.

Update News - Pausing Pledges Again

Hey everybody. Seeing as I haven't had too much time to work on the update this month as I'd have like to, I'm going to again pause pledges for the coming month (March) for all currently active pledges. Meaning if you're a patron already and haven't canceled, you will not be charged for March. I don't feel like it would be fair to charge you when I wasn't able to release this month as planned.

As a side note, I just saw the news about Ukraine/Russia and I know it's kind of trite, but m...

A New Year Means a New Love Interest

Are you guys ready for Egyptrap? (He's got an actual name. Don't worry.) Had to paywall the post since it has a pair of boobies though.

And for those not into femboys, secret love interest is also on the way but I didn't wanna spoil her. Rest assured, she's just a normal cis girl. Then again, who in this game is really "normal?"

Happy New Year

Ok, so maybe it's a tad premature for some of you, but I just wanted to wish everybody a happy new year! As you guys know, I've had a rough couple of months both personally and professionally, but this past month I've been pulling out of it and trying to devote more of my time to developing Exiles. One of my major goals this coming year is to both launch a version of the game on steam (with as many bells and whistles I can add) and to see if I can get to a place where I can do this full time....

PAUSING DECEMBER BILLING CYCLE

Hey everybody, as I alluded to in my previous post, I've been trying to get you guys something out by end of month. I've also been going through a really rough patch IRL so I don't think I can make that deadline. Since I don't think that's fair to you, my loyal patrons, I've decided to PAUSE DECEMBER BILLING, meaning IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY A PATRON YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED ANYTHING FOR DECEMBER. This doesn't mean I won't be working on the game in December though. I've got to sort my IRL stuff ou...

Update Status

Hey guys. Still working on the update. Still inundated with a bunch of IRL job and personal issues to deal with so I've been feeling pretty bad. You know, the usual Patreon dev excuse lol. Anyway, I'll still try to get you out something by month's end to tide you over a bit. And then follow up with more chunks of updates as the weeks go on. I just need to deal with this stuff. Sorry for not talking much.
