Work on games being discontinued
Announcement:
This is hard to write. This has been a very supportive community, both verbally and financially, and I deeply appreciate everything you all have done to help me make these games.
I recently suffered a vitreous detachment in my eye, which makes it hard to look at the screen for hours at a time because I see little extra things that are actually on the inside of my eye. I’ve been told one gets used to it, and that it gets better. I look forward to that. I've al...

A series of scenes with Isabella, the Dominatrix. Isabella is now a full character in the game.
Bug Fixes:
At the end of the game, your wife now says the correct number of weeks it will take you.
The game no longer tells you that your vacation is ending twice.

2020-02-10 17:02:29 +0000 UTC View PostLeather and Steel 0.6 Progress
I'm working away at this update, which will feature Isabella. I spent much of the first part of the month working on renders that I decided don't fit the storyline, and as I revised my vision I discovered more and more things needed to be added to keep up the quality of previous releases, so 0.6 is behind schedule. I wanted to give everyone a heads up that the next update is more likely to be in February than in January, unfortunately. I hope to have the coding done today, but the earliest I ...

New Content:
Bondage scenes with Jessica, Chloe, Olivia, and Mia.
A new scene in the Cafe with Jessica and your wife.
Bug Fixes:
Jessica’s hugs in the cafe no longer flash on the screen without giving you a chance to see them.
The option to talk to Karima’s husband if you don’t have a date to swap with no longer occurs, and therefore you no longer get booted abruptly out of that dialogue.

After a brief delay, work is continuing on the game. I'm looking forward to releasing 0.5, probably on the Monday after Christmas. The next version will not introduce any new girls, but will provide extra options featuring bondage with each of the lovely ladies currently in the game, and a bonus scene with Jessica that should give the late game with her a little more variation. Ideally, I'd like for you never to have to do the same scene twice to get a girl to sleep with you, once you're on k...

Added the Office location.
UI Improvements:
Screen now displays the day number as well as the day of the week, so you know which week it is.
“Humpday” has been replaced with “Wednesday”

Just wanted to give you a progress report. Leather and Steel 0.4 should be released by November 18 -- maybe November 11, but I'd rather promise the 18th. :) This release will add an office location, one new girl, Jessica, who works at the office, and will extend the length of the game past the MC's three-week vacation. It's been a bit more complicated than I expected, but I think you'll like it.
Hoping to develop Isabella's character more soon, but in the end extending the game, having ...
2019-10-27 15:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostLeather and Steel 0.3 Changelog
New Content:
Added Karima, a housewife who has a jerky husband. You can try to win her sympathy -- or you can swap for her at the …
Added a new location, Lifestyles. It’s a swing club in the same location as Leather and Steel, with different furniture moved in for Lifestyles night. The swing club creates an easier opportunity to have sex with some of the girls at lower levels of affection. It is possible, but very optional, to engage in “swappin...

You now get to pick your wife’s name. Hitting enter without putting in a name for either your own name or your wife’s will result in a name being selected for you.
Added location, Pool. Scenes for Mia, Olivia, and Chloe there.
Added renders for hugs in most locations. Added renders for flirting in some locations.
Added scenes for Mia at the Club, in the Cafe, at the Beach, and at Home. Mia now has content comparable to tha...
2019-09-02 19:16:25 +0000 UTC View PostLeather and Steel 0.2 Release
Welcome to the second release of Leather and Steel.
This release extends Mia as a more full developed character. Can you bed Mia as well as Olivia and Chloe? It's not easy, but it *is* possible.
The game now extends one day longer, and includes the Pool location. Unlocking the pool allows for some new opportunities with the girls.
Damsels 1.17 Changelog
New Content:
There are now new renders for Making Out, Handjobs, and Cunnilingus for all characters, and those characters who did not have full screen renders for Spanking now do. Text for these actions now depends somewhat on Character Class as well as the fetishes of the character, so you should see a fair amount of variation.
UI Improvements:

Hi there. Progress is being made on both games.
I've made over 40 new full screen renders for Damsels. That represents about half of the graphical changes I want to make to the game before I call it done. I've written words to go with the pictures so that some classes will get different wording than others, matching the depiction on the screen.
Many of the rest of the changes you'll see to Damsels this time around will involve player options. Some of these are tricky. Adding optio...

2019-08-06 12:42:05 +0000 UTC View PostLeather and Steel, and what's changed from Strange Gift
TLDR; A lot.
Leather and Steel is not a paranormal game. The theme of Leather and Steel is that you are encouraged to have sex with other women by your wife, who will want to hear about your adventures.
Leather and Steel has no procedurally generated characters. Each character has their own way of reacting to the things you do. Different text, different pictures, different game results. They have different kinks.
In general, there is a full screen render for almost eve...
2019-08-05 15:06:07 +0000 UTC View PostLeather and Steel, 0.1
Here's the reboot of Strange Gift. I'll make a separate post that is a sort of changelog, although with so much different from Strange Gift I won't be remotely complete about it.
In Leather and Steel you play a man whose wife has decided she wants him to go out and seduce other women. In this first release there are two girls you can get to have sex with, Chloe and Olivia, and two other girls, Mia and Isabella, who you will meet and possibly gain some benefit from interacting with...

I wanted to update you on how the "other project" is going. I've been turning out new renders for Damsels at record speed this week, so fear not, there will be lots of stuff for this months Damsels update.
But it's time to try something new.
As I've been mentioning, I've been reworking the assets of Strange Gift into a completely different game, and it's getting solid to the point I can talk about it constructively. And maybe you can help me with the quandary of what to call it. I...
2019-08-01 14:46:16 +0000 UTC View PostA few changes for the better
I just wanted to let you know of a few things I've changed that I think are going to positively effect the games you see from me.
I retired from my job. You can see from the patronage that we are not at the point where I can work on games full time, quite, but with a little side income here and there, I can work on making games *more*.
The second thing is I bought a new computer. It's nearly identical to the one I bought last year, and I bought an identical monitor. Like y'all, I'...

Welcome to Damsels and Dungeons 1.16!
I've added more text variety, added full screen blowjob renders, a new render that displays after completing each kind of mission, and a new scene featuring Shamira and Khoraja. Also little improvements and bug fixes. As always, feedback is welcomed! Please Enjoy! Changelog has been posted.
Damsels and Dungeons 1.16 Changelog
New Content:
New full screen renders for blowjobs for all characters that didn't have them (Which is almost all.)
New Valkyrie Spanking image
Shamira and Khoraja have a scene together, which may give one of them a new fetish.
There’s a variety of new text that happens as a result of having sex, increasing the variety of the emotes.
New pictures display when completing missions.

I'm doing renders as we speak, and most of the coding is done for 1.16. I've been spending much of the day writing new text, most of which pops up in particular circumstances -- so that the game will be better about not giving you text about stripping already naked girls, for instance, and there will sometimes be text that pops up when a girl has a fetish that changes the experience of an action. I've redone one set of renders for each character. There is a new scene for Shamira and Kho...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know what I'm working on.
I'm continuing to make improvements to Damsels. So far a lot of that has been re-doing renders. The Blowjob renders, for instance, will now have full screen renders for all the characters. A lot of the stuff I did early on in the development of Damsels, nearly 2 years ago now, was a bit hastily done to get the idea out there. I don't regret that, but it's time to update some of those pictures and improve the look of the ga...

2019-07-01 12:51:56 +0000 UTC View PostDamsels 1.15 Release
Today's release has some revised anal sex pictures for some of the characters who didn't have full screen renders for that, a new scene with Shamira, and a settings page you can use to modify a few aspects of the game according to your preferences.
It is now possible again to go straight to the Adventure screen, without stopping by the mission screen on the way.
Damsels 1.15 Progress
I'm expecting to release this next Monday. I'm hoping to come out with two releases in July.
One of the things I'm adding in 1.15 is a preferences/options/settings screen, in which you'll be able to set certain preferences in the game. For example, there will be an option to have Monster Scaling at the "Hard" level (the level found in 1.13) or the "Easy" level (the level found in 1.14) or "None" -- as the game was before I put any scaling in at all. This is pretty self-balancing, since ...

2019-06-10 12:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostDamsels 1.14 Release
It's release day. I'm excited!
The biggest changes in this release are look and feel changes, and I think you'll see the effects fairly quickly. A little more subtly, the sex menu has changed in all sorts of ways. This means there's a lot of new code there, and a fair amount of new text.
There's a new scene with Shamira, too.
Damsels Progress 5/24
I'm really happy with how the progress on Damsels is going. I've tackled some text things, and refactored over 1000 lines of code to make it easier for me to add new and varied sex text in the future, so not only should you see some better and more varied sex dialog. 1.14 will show improvement, and I think Damsels will continue to show improvement in this regard with eacch new release.
I've also done some things to improve the look and feel of the screens, and I think it makes a big dif...
