Progress Report

Looks like it's time for another one of my progress reports. Hooray!

Last week I told you that I wasn't ready yet to reveal what the focus of this month's update will be, though I said to you that I was working on a Fairy Queen scene. This week, however, I am ready.

This month's update focuses on the Leanan Sídhe. This should hardly come as a surprise after the events of 0.20, but plans have a tendency to change at the last minute, so I wasn't prepared to commit officially to it ...

Progress Report

All right, time for another progress report! I would ordinarily tell you what the main focus for the month is right now, but I haven't really started implementing that part yet. You'll get to know what the main focus is next week, I promise. It's not that I haven't been working on it, only that the work so far has been pure design and writing an overview with the help of my trusty idea pixie. It's all starting to come together, which will make implementing the results a much smoother process ...

Version 0.20.0 - Public Release Schedule

If you're just visiting my Patreon or are a $1 patron, this post is for you.  

Version 0.20.0 has now been released for patrons at the $5 level and up. Since patrons are given a 1-month head start, that means this version will become publicly available on June 5th. This release will include any hotfixes that may be created before that time.

Long Live the Princess - Version 0.20.0

Long Live the Princess version 0.20.0 is now available for download. 

This month's update features practically all the fey creatures in the game, but the main focus is on the Fairy Queen and the Fey Court. The last time we visited the Fairy Queen was back in version 0.8.0, and at that time you left her hanging. It's time for you to pay her back.

If you've been following this game since the beginning (hey, thanks for sticking around! I appreciate it), you probably realize that...

Progress Report

Hi patrons!

This should be the last progress report before the release of version 0.20.0 for patrons pledging at $5 and above. 

I'm really close to finishing up this version now. I've been working on a big, fun scene for the last few days, and it's turning out awesome. I can't wait to show it to you all. Despite saying that I would slow down after the madness of the last update, this new one is actually turning out more substantial than I had planned. That's what happens when...

Progress Report

Hi there, patrons!

As I write this, I've just finished implementing and testing the first scene in this update, and another one is likely to follow, either today or tomorrow. Once that is done, I'll be diving into the real meat of version 0.20.

Last week I told you that I'd be sitting down to write an outline of where we were heading. That didn't go as well as I had thought. The story I wanted to write just didn't click with me. One of the tricky things with creative work...

Progress Report

It's a new month with new opportunities and new scenes. So, what am I up to this month?

I've been taking it a little slow this first week after the 7 days a week madness of last month, but I've finished rendering the opening scene of version 0.20.0. It features the return of a fan-favorite: The Fairy Queen. Yes, you'll be revisiting her at last. After all, you left her hanging the last time you met, and it's about time you gave her the satisfaction she so craves. These renders gave me a...

Version 0.19.0 - Public Release Schedule

Version 0.19.0 has now been released for patrons at the $5 level and up. Since patrons are given a 1-month head start, that means this version will become publicly available on May 5th. This release will include any hotfixes that may be created before that time.

Long Live the Princess - Version 0.19.0

Long Live the Princess version 0.19.0 is now available for download.

This is probably the most significant update I've made for this game yet, the result of me working on it 7 days a week all month alongside my regular job. It contains 442 new images, well beyond the previous record of 155 in version 0.11.0. Much of this comes from small variations in the renders, but that's not unique for this update.

You can now crack Evelyn's dark secret, romance her, and... well, I'll just let...

Progress Report

It's the final progress report for this update, yay! 

Version 0.19.0 is basically feature-complete at this point. Now comes the part where I spell-check, test, and tweak minor features until I'm happy with the whole thing. You can expect it to be released on the 5th if everything goes according to plan. 

I'd like to use the opportunity to temper expectations slightly. Despite the 442 new images this version adds, you shouldn't expect a million new scenes. The focus has b...

Progress Report

Hi, patrons!

I got a bunch of stuff done last week too, surprise, surprise. Everything that has to do with Evelyn's dark secret and the major consequences of solving it has been completed and tested. This included expanding one scene that I already had and turning it into... something else if certain conditions are fulfilled. 

There are now 294 images in the 0.19.0 folder, and I'm not done yet.

There aren't actually that many sex scenes in this update actually, consider...

Progress Report

Another productive week! Version 0.19.0 is currently featuring 234 new images, and we're still only halfway through the month. The previous record number of images was version 0.11.0 with 155, so we're already way past that. 

I actually spent a relatively small part of last week rendering. What time I did spend on that focused on one single scene that I'm now in the middle of writing and coding. The rest of my time was spent on writing and coding Evelyn's dark secret. I'm happy to ...

Progress Report

Heya!

Wow, what a week! I haven't been this productive in ages. I usually spend the first week after a release doing community management (posting about the game in as many places as I can, talking to people, answering questions, etc.) and laying a plan for the coming month's content. This time the plan came together in less than a day, allowing me to charge full steam ahead.

But enough about that! It's time to announce the topic of version 0.19.0 of Long Live the Princess.

Progress Report

Hi patrons!

It's an early progress report this time, mostly because the release of version 0.18 is looming so close and because I've got some information I'd like to share before Patreon charges fully kick in for the majority of you.

I've been busy finalizing renders and writing dialogue since last time. I had writer's block for a few days, but once I finally got started, the words began pouring out of me, making the results funnier than I had expected. Some juicy story nuggets ar...

Progress Report

Hello, friends!

Most of last week was spent creating a whole bunch of renders for a crucial new scene in the coming update. It's a scene with tons of unique and complex poses, so it's a lot of work to set it all up, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so...

The coming update will see you finally learn how to crack dark secrets, bringing your education with the Crone to an end (apart from minor spells you'll still be able to pick up in later updates). With this out of the way, nothin...

Progress Report

Howdy!

I've been back to work this week, though I'm still in a somewhat reduced shape from normal. No worries though, because I've been adding a feature to Long Live the Princess that I've wanted to add for a long time. It's fully implemented and tested already, but I'm going to do a lot more testing of it over the coming weeks to make sure it doesn't break anything.

This new feature is a brand new town map. The way it will work is that clicking the map button will bring up the ma...

Progress Report

Hi everyone,

This progress report is going to be a little unusual in that there is no progress to report. I've been suffering through the flu for almost two F-ing weeks now, and it's really starting to piss me off. I have no energy to work on anything and can't even focus my thoughts enough to think up designs and ideas for the game. Despite this, I forced myself to work on 0.17.0 in this state for days, which I don't think helped my health (or my writing) any.

I'm itching to begi...

Version 0.16.0 - Public Release

Long Live the Princess version 0.16.0 is now available for everyone.  

This update's primary focus is Callie's night scene. It's been implemented from scratch up to the same level (or even beyond) as Evelyn and Primrose. This took most of my development time this month, which was a little unexpected.

The second main new feature is expanded options during Callie's latest fashion show. Keep in mind that your choices do matter. Going all the way with these options will shap...

Progress Report

This should be the last progress report before the release of version 0.17.0.

All the renders are done (unless something pops up at the last minute, such as a missing facial expression), so I'm going full steam ahead on dialogue and code, and that's what I'm going to keep doing until I'm done, which will probably take most of the week. I have some other stuff that I'd love to be able to fit in before the end of the month, but I suspect it'll have to wait until next month instead. <...

Progress Report

Live and learn. This month I tried to shake up my routine a little by doing most of the writing before I did the majority of the renders. The results were... not impressive. In fact, I got almost complete writer's block right away, and no matter how much I kept staring at the keyboard, it wouldn't let up.

So I'm back to my old routines, which means doing almost all the renders before I do the writing. For some reason, this makes me way more inspired and motivated than writing first.

Progress Report

Hi patrons!

I know I'm a little late with the progress report this time. It's been gnawing at me for the past few days, but I've put it off for as long as possible so that I'd have more to say. Stupid of me, I know, but sometimes I am my own worst enemy. So, enough procrastinating! Here's what's happening with LLtP right now:

It's Nell time! Nell will be the sole focus of version 0.17. Unlike with Callie, I expect to only use this one update on her before moving on, even if I can'...

Progress Report

Update: Attached a teaser image.

Happy New Year, my dear patrons!

It's time for the last progress report for version 0.16.0. The update is pretty much done at this point, needing only a little more playtesting, minor tweaks, and proofreading. I sat up late last night to get the most laborious parts finished before the new year's celebrations.

Version 0.16.0 will contain two new features, more or less. One is the night scene for Callie that I've talked about in every...
