Gameplay:
Strength and Resilience are now a single stat, Prowess, which costs 1000 exp. just like Dominance and Charisma do.
Making a girl your slave increases the chance to run into other girls at the same location -- e.g., making Geri your slave increases the availability of Desiree and Veronica.
Bugs:
Fixed a bug where it was possible to have your need for sex or blood so high that the game wouldn't let you stay in, but your health was so low that the game wouldn't let you...

First of all, progress continues on 0.0.4 -- and in fact, I'm very close to a release. It's probable that will happen Monday of next week. When 0.0.4 is released, it will be possible to make slaves of all eight girls currently in the game.
Today I added a few missing graphics, fixed various pieces of code, and did several hours of testing. It's getting harder and harder to be confident that I've tested everything in the game, which is the price to be paid for a game with lots of branchin...

I made a lot of progress today, mostly on things I'd been putting off.
I wrote all the mini-scenes where you talk the girl into becoming your slave, for Flora, Desiree, and Veronica. Then I did the renders for the slave menu, and the menu where you get to choose what your slave does after clicking her. That's still minimal... major improvement in that will probably wait for 0.0.5. But all that was something I definitely wanted to get in for 0.0.4, so it's good to get it done.
I'd already...

I should have a fair amount of time to work on the game this week.
Today the main work was on Desiree. I finished writing and doing the graphics for what happens when you get her into a private room at the club, and also wrote her "extreme" scenes, which involves heavier S/M and anal sex. I also wrote code to replace "Strength" and "Resilience" with a single stat "Prowess," that costs 1000 XP just like Dominance and Charisma do.

Today I worked on a scene involving Veronica and Flora, and giving you a chance to improve relations with both of them as well as enjoy some sexy fun times. This scene also provides an alternate way for you to hook up with Flora without using Marianne to do so.
A power outage slowed work on the graphics a little, so they are lagging behind the text at the moment.
I also worked on the initial sex scenes for Desiree.
I don't have a release date in mind for 0.0.4. My goal...

Today was mostly about Veronica, and the process of turning her from dominant to submissive. Some of the scenes I wrote today were particularly enjoyable to write, so I hope you all enjoy them as much. I was inspired by some patron suggestions, and I was able to incorporate some of them into the game through Veronica. I'm hoping that all of Veronica, Desiree, and Flora will be enslavable by the next release, expanding your options but also forcing you to choose who to focus on.
I have some ide...

Gameplay:
Strength and Resilience now cost less experience than Charisma and Dominance. You need to have 1000 experience to spend any, rather than 1100.
There is now the possibility of being attacked by hunters late in the game.
A hidden stat, infamy, now keeps track of negative attention gained through your actions.
The game now ends on night 33, or earlier if you've acquired infamy.

Today I've focused mostly on Flora, the shopgirl, writing scenes for you to take her dancing and take her to bed. I've also set the end of the game to 33 nights, with the possibility to make that shorter if you do the wrong things (send girls to the hospital due to biting them too often, for instance). That length will gradually creep up with future versions, but I want to set it at a point where the game provides some challenge, and doesn't become a grind. In my playthrough today I was able to ...

I had to work at my day job the last couple of days, but I've still gotten some things done on the game. I've written some code for if you end up having to take a girl to the hospital, and I've written a few small mini-scenes that are triggered by one girl seeing you dance with a different girl. I also did the graphics for a scene I wrote last week for Veronica. That scene involves Candi, a character who was possible to unlock in 0.0.1 if you made certain unlikely choices, but really played no p...

A lot of times I'm faced with a decision of whether to include the protagonist in the images I use to illustrate. When I first made Bondage Ranch, I never included a protagonist, but as time went on I realized that there were times it was preferable, to stop the female figure from looking like she was yawning rather than giving a blow job, or was floating in mid air rather than being carried. Still, there are other times when the image of the male protagonist gets in the way of a good view of th...

After a couple of days where my day job grabbed most of my attention, I've been working away at the game. I added a scene with Julia at the Nightclub, that has a few hooks for later scenes. There's also a sex scene that branches from the nightclub scene. I wrote a kink scene for Veronica, although the graphics aren't done yet. And there's a small scene where Marianne gets a new dress -- see above, as well as the appropriate tie-ins from the clothing store.
I also spent a fair amount of t...

As some of you may have noticed, this Patreon just passed the $100 mark. Thank you so much, all of you! I'm humbled by your support and inspired to produce more and better content. And of course it's easier to justify buying that new model or that new bit of sexy clothing for one of the characters when there's money coming in.
I'm also gratified that the release of Lucretia's Legacy has brought in new patrons. There were moments that I was a little nervous about moving in that direction, and w...

Here's what I've been working on the last couple of days:
Code so that you can enslave Sophia, and an icon for her on the slave menu. There's still some content to be added that will help get her numbers up, though.
An intro scene with Veronica and Desiree, the Domme and "schoolgirl" from an earlier update. A follow up scene or two, depending on how you count, with Desiree. Veronica and Desiree will help bring some balance to the game, giving the BDSM club content while making Geri's ava...

Hi there... just wanted to share a picture, and update everyone on progress. Lucretia's Legacy 0.0.2 is almost ready for release to $5 patrons. I added the ability to make Geri, Marianne, and Julia your slave. Slaves will be accessible for biting and sex from a menu you get at your home. Although this is pretty rudimentary for now, it's set up to easily expand in the future and I think it's a very fun feature.
That's the last bit of content for 0.0.2, as I focus on testing and things like impr...

Just thought I'd share a render from this morning. Lucretia's Legacy is coming along nicely. This render features a new character, Sophia -- a former nun looking to make up for lost time. As you can see she's more on the curvy side than some of the other characters, which some people will love and some people won't. One thing I am trying to do in both this game and Bondage Island is to let the player choose which girls to concentrate on -- and for that to make a difference.

I've finished and tested the new Hot Tub scenes for Bondage Island, and I'm happy with them.
Work on Lucretia's Legacy is going apace too, and I hope to have a new release of that available for Patrons in early August as well. Today I've added three scenes involving several images each, one for Julia, and two for Geri. The above picture is from a scene involving convincing Geri to do a little indecent exposure in public, and the reason I'm particularly pleased with it is because the top she's ...

I've been working to add new scenes to Bondage Island today, including well over a dozen new full screen renders. Each girl other than Jenny will have two hottub scenes, one of which is a very simple and doesn't take any time, the other of which requires a high level of attraction and helps you make progress with her. The above is a cropped version of one of those scenes.
I also fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to not put you on the boat properly if you do an activity on Sunday ...

I made some more progress on Lucretia's Legacy today, adding a shop (the shop girl is depicted above) and a system for calling the girls, and a bunch of code and images for the nurse character that unlocks when you buy her an outfit at the shop. Doesn't seem like that much, but I was swatting down a lot of bugs, too, today. Still on track to release a demo later this week, and honestly, I think what's there is fun. I would love to release a game with more content, or one that doesn't have ...

I've been making good progress with the game this week, and am confident I'll be able to release a preview to $5 patrons next week that will include interactions with at least 5 different characters. The preview will be more of a taste than a full game experience, but at least it will provide a rough idea. I thought I'd give everyone a sample image from the new game.

I wanted to show you a little bit of what my next game will look like, because the display style is strikingly different. This is the first screen at the start of the game.
I've reformatted the screen to allow for larger blocks of text. This serves a couple of functions -- one is that it lets me say more. The other is that often text that the person playing the game would have to click through is now displayed all at once, unless there is a choice to be made, a dramatic reason to split the tex...

This release focuses on Jenny content, including Jenny threesome content. There are interactions with Alexa and Victoria. There's a scene with Becca (not a threesome) in the hot tub. Several renders throughout the game have been changed...

This week I've been working on fixing up some little irregularities in the existing graphics for the game. Particularly with some of the older graphics, there were artifacts that made some aspect look funny. I've been editing those out in GIMP in many cases. In other cases, I've re-rendered the scene or image, including the picture of Alexa in the blue dress that is her default picture. It's tedious, time consuming, and not particularly satisfying, but at the same time the contrast between some ...

At some point, Bondage Island will be finished. I've passed a sort of hump recently. As I get new ideas for the game, or see things that need fixing, I add them to a Trello board. As I do them, I move them to the done column. Just recently I've gotten to the point where I'm doing things faster than I'm adding things to be done, so the "to do" list is shrinking.
That means at some point, my "to do" list is going to be about making another erotic game entirely. So what kind of game? I have...

If you can convince her to try spanking and other impact play, there's place for that. There are a couple of more scenes at the hot tub you can unlock, that will make her like you more. I also worked on her final scene, should you succeed at convincing her to become your slave. Basically, I've been rendering since I've gotten up, and coding while I wait for ...

The Hot Tub, a new location. So far there's only Jenny content at the hot tub.

Lots of testing. Some graphics added to the some of the early scenes, the first time they've been touched for a while. The project has reached a tipping point, in that I'm finally knocking off things to do faster than I'm adding new ones, which means that there's more sense of the game being completed.
I've been finding small glitches, things like a character appearing twice on the screen, but so far all easily fixable and the nothing that changes the mechanics of the game from what I want.

Players who are successful at getting to "Slave" with any of the girls will get an average of 5 new images and text as a reward. I finished all the graphics for this today, except for Jenny, who doesn't have enough content currently in the game to get her to that level of relationship.
I added some Alexa and Becca images, and replaced a few older ones.
