Now Accepting Annual Donations!

Patreon has implemented annual donations, which I have just enabled. 

Selecting this option allows you to get a year's worth of whatever Tier you choose in a 1-time payment, but at a discount. I have set the discount at 10%.

So, let's say you would normally give $10 a month for 12 months - that would be $120 for the year. Selecting that as an annual donation would lower that cost to $108 and you would remain at the $10 Tier for the year.

I've enabled this feature just i...

Friday Update - On a Friday! - August 14, 2020

Hello, Patrons!

This render is not a preview. It's just a quickie, in part to test the deformations in the pillow. But you will be seeing scenes like this soon! :)

You may also notice that Shannon's walls are barren. I wasn't a fan of all those cartoon-ish posters on her wall. Not that Shannon's not a fan of cartoony stuff or anything, but I didn't think having walls plastered with two dozen posters was appropriate for her room. So you might notice that difference in the next upda...

Friday Update - Late on a Saturday - August 8, 2020

Hello, Patrons! 

I'm not going to spoil things with this preview render, but the MC is not facepalming because of Ethan next to him.

I hope you've all had a great week. I've spent much of the week revising one of the early morning scenes. It's a little frustrating re-doing some of the renders, but it's a necessary evil if I want to avoid that "oh I should have done it this way" feeling.

That's really one of the worst feelings in the world, in my opinion as a writer anyw...

Occasional Olivia

Every once in a while I need to take a break and do some modeling poses. I hope you guys don't mind. :)

Friday Update Slightly Late - August 1, 2020

Hello Patrons and non-Patrons alike! I'm making this post public to make sure that those who may have dropped Patreon support can still see it, since it is now August!

Progress on 0.5 is coming along and I'm happier with the results on this edited version. I'm currently editing out an old scene and using the renders to go in a somewhat different direction, and ahead of me I have at least one more scene to add.

I do want to apologize again for my tardiness on this update. I expecte...

Friday Update - July 24, 2020

Hey a Friday Update, I'm still doing those!

Sorry for the lack of Friday Update last week. There was a bit of a family emergency over the weekend and I figured there was nothing much new to report after I got back.

The gist of this one is that 0.5 is not coming out until August. As always, I apologize for the delay and for sucking really bad at estimating when I can finish.

I have much of the update together, and when I looked through the script while scrolling through the r...

Episode 5 Preview

It's really hard to pick a render that doesn't spoil things. I picked this one because I don't think it is unexpected that you and Angel would have a little chat in the morning. :)

Please note that this render is incomplete and has yet to go through post-processing, where I'll add the background and resize it and all that fun stuff.

Friday Update - July 10, 2020

Hello, Patrons!

We are close! I can't say much more than that because I'm still not ready to give you an accurate prediction. But we're close.

It's also going to help that I bought a new air conditioner and I'll be moving the old one to my room. I'll actually be able to sit here and work. Before I would pose an image and render, then go out into the air conditioner and cool off, then come back when I figured the render was done. Not the most efficient way of doing things.

I ...

Happy 4th of July!

Friday Update - July 3, 2020

Hello, Patrons, and happy 4th of July weekend for my fellow Americans!

It has been HOT for the past week, and I'm not gonna lie, it has reduced my rendering efficiency a little. I need to add an air conditioner to the PC room.

However! Things are still coming along. I'm in that stage where I'm putting everything together. One of the unusual things I've learned about building a VN is that it requires a lot of planning. I generally work on the renders in the order that they come in ...

Occasional Maeve

This one is only 1080p because I have light shooting through the window. That makes rendering time take forever.

Occasional Shannon

Occasional Angel 2

The old variation had no contrast between the bra and the background, so I figured I'd change the bra to something other than just black. :)

These two images are a result of me playing Fashion Business, where the female protagonist becomes a stripper and gets all glittered up. I wanted to see how the glitter looked on Angel. I'm not sure yet.

Occasional Angel 1

I wanted to get these images up earlier. I'll be posting another couple of images tonight, so if you can no longer view them due to dropping Patreon, please check out my Discord! I'd post them for the public, but I can't post NSFW content.

And the next image of Angel is definitely NSFW.

Occasional Olivia

I'll be posting some one-off renders today as it's the end of the month. I just need to go grab a new mouse because my mouse wheel is broken and that's annoying as hell.

So expect a couple more later on tonight!

Friday Update - June 26, 2020

Hello, Patrons! I'm adding a preview render here because I missed last week's.

When you get home from your first day at university, Shannon is waiting for you. It might not be the friendliest conversation you two have. :)

The renders and story are going pretty well, though I've been hit hard with RL work and other commitments this week. It definitely looks like this will be the biggest update so far.

One of the things I have yet to do is figure out how to resize several hund...

Friday Update - June 19, 2020

Hello, Patrons! Hope you all had a great week. And as it is the last day of spring, I hope you all have a wonderful summer! Not my favorite season. I'm a northern US guy, so I tend to like more moderate temperatures.

Of course it is currently the middle of the month and I had hoped to have the 0.5 update out by now. But it's going to be probably another couple of weeks. 

This is why I've tried to steer away from giving predictions for release - because I really suck at it, an...

Friday Update on a Saturday - June 13, 2020

Sorry I'm a little late. As you guys know by now, that's something that happens to me frequently! :)

Some of you have expressed interest in my creative process and how I pose scenes. I wanted to include this render as an example. In the morning in 0.5 Angel sneaks into your room with a nice little wake-up call.

Part of the process of building these porn games is coming up with excuses for the girls to wear ridiculously sexy outfits. As you may have figured out, Angel is surprising...

Preview - 0.5

I was going to explain what's going on here, but I don't think I will. :)

Friday Update - June 5, 2020

Hello, Patrons!

I'm going to give you a short and sweet update. Things are progressing, though I did run into a scene that took a bit longer than I had hoped. Nvidia really needs to hurry up with those 3-series video cards!

We're still looking at around the middle of the month, give or take a day or two. In other words, it's crunch time!

This is a bit of a different update, being out of the house with a large chunk away from the usual characters, but it's been a lot of fun. ...

Preview - 0.5

This attire is not at all appropriate for a professor.

Friday Update - on a Sunday, May 31, 2020

Hello, Patrons!

I apologize for not getting this update out sooner. I was treating the Thursday tax update like a weekly update and someone rightly scolded me and told me to update y'all on the damn game.

Here's where we're at on the damn game:

Renders be rendering. Things are going pretty smoothly in the renders, though much of this update takes place at school, so I'm having to add more characters and filler than normal. Things are still going better since the subway scene...

Taxes Suck

Hello, patrons!

Whenever I bust out a really hot render of Shannon, you know it's bad news! I guess I hope it lessens the blow, but I'm really not sure what kind of blow this is going to be.

Patreon is going to start charging some of you for sales taxes. They are going to send you an email on June 1 to explain the situation, and they suggested that creators reach out to you to let you know before that happens.

What I know:
• This change will no...

Friday Update - A little late on a Saturday, May 23, 2020

Hello, patrons! I apologize for being a little late with the update today. My state of Michigan is starting to open back up, so my brother has come for the weekend. It's my first time seeing him since Christmas, so it's been fun catching up.

Development is coming along on 0.5. I love the university setting - it just gives me so many options. I'm at that point in the rendering and writing process where I have a *little* bit of wiggle room to add or make some changes, so I guess you could...

0.5 Preview

Never underestimate Ethan!

Friday Update - May 15, 2020

Hello, Patrons! I hope you all had a great week!

Things are back to normal here. My ear is still feeling a little funky but there's no pain. Renders are rendering. I'm probably 90% done with writing/planning the scenes. Since I edit up until the last moment I consider 90% to be pretty damn close to done.

So there's not much new to report this week. Renders be rendering! 

I would like to talk a bit about side characters. I think most of you have probably played several a...

Public Service Announcement

In these troubled times, make sure to take all necessary precautions. Stay home. Stay safe.

Friday Update - May 8, 2020

Hello Patrons and public alike!

Christ, what a week.

For those of you who don't know, which is why I'm making this post public, I had an issue late last week. Last Thursday/Friday I began having extreme pain in my ear. It turns out that the skin in the ear is super tight. So when you get an abscess in your inner ear and it swells up, the pain is rather acute.

I couldn't sleep. It hurt all the way down to my jaw. It literally hurt like hell just to move the hair off my ear. 2020-05-09 03:45:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Preview - 0.5

0.5 begins by looking at how everyone is doing in the early morning. You recently saw the render of Shannon sleeping calmly in her bed. This is how Olivia ended up.

Small Update

Hey guys!

I just wanted to apologize to you all for lack of activity on my part. I was hoping to get a preview and occasional renders up today but that's going to have to wait a couple of days.

I spent most of the day in the ER for this ear thing. They were worried about it spreading into my lymph nodes and did a CAT scan and took what seemed like a gallon of blood for tests. For now they're blasting me with antibiotics for the infection along with painkillers. And I have to go ba...
