Progress Report

Hi everyone!

Summer is sadly about to leave us for another year, which, in my opinion, is always a shame. On the other hand, version 0.37 of Long Live the Princess is getting close to completion, which is not at all a shame. 

By now, all of the non-sex scenes with Belle have been fully implemented (lacking only hints for the to-do list), and I have finished drawing the final cumshot images that I was missing. The new sex scene is also close to completion, requiring just a bit...

Progress Report

Hello, my dear supporters!

This past week has seen me busy writing dialogue and getting back to work at my day job after the summer. I'm also struggling with an inflamed shoulder, though it is, luckily, not affecting my work much. I'm also getting it treated, so no worries there.

Regarding the latest update for LLtP, the last week has focused on writing more story and implementing it in code. The writing is almost entirely done, with mostly just the sex scene still unwritten (and ...

Progress Report

Hi there!

Do you know the worst part about summer, at least for me? It's that the days fly by as if they weren't even there to begin with. It feels like yesterday that I wrote the previous progress report, but here we are.

Anyway, I have made good progress regardless. Belle's new scene is fully rendered, and I have drawn a significant chunk of the cumshots. You might not have realized this, but I actually draw the cumshots by hand in Photoshop. It produces (mostly) good results, b...

Progress Report

Howdy!

It's time for another progress report! Has it been a week already? I don't even remember, and I'm not going to go back through my posts to check. No, today is the perfect day for a progress report because today also marks the end of the latest feature vote among high-tier patrons and subscribers!

That's right, I can now share what version 0.38 will be about, though obviously, version 0.37 will need to be finished before I can get to work on it. More on that later.

Progress Report

Hello, hello!

I'm dead tired after returning from an out-of-town trip today, so I'm going to keep this week's progress report somewhat short (for me, that is). 

This past week, most of my attention has been on setting up all the renders for Belle's new sex scene, and this I have finished doing. All the basic renders are done, though it seems I might have to double them. It turns out that this might be the first sex scene in the game that needs separate versions for day and ni...

Progress Report

Ah, summer! Yeah, I know many of you are struggling with extreme heat this season. You have my sympathies. Here, however, the weather is nice and comfortable right now, and it couldn't have happened at a better time. That's right, my summer vacation has officially started. No, not a vacation from LLtP, but from my day job. This means that I should be able to dedicate more time than usual to game development, though I will, of course, make sure to enjoy my vacation as well. 

As for ...

Progress Report

Hi everyone!

Apologies if this week's progress report comes off as a little weird. As I'm writing this, I'm suffering from massive fatigue after getting my first shot of the Covid vaccine yesterday. It's making it hard for me to even think clearly, but I'm still going to write this report because being tired is not a good enough excuse not to. :)

Due to family commitments last weekend and my being physically reduced by the vaccine these past two days, the last week hasn't been as ...

Progress Report

Hi everyone!

Last week saw the release of version 0.36, featuring Callie's romance paths, at long last. I hope you all enjoyed it. 

The final stretch of development for that update was strenuous at best, and I had to take a couple of days to regain my strength since then. That's not to say that I have done nothing. I have engaged with the community all over the place, helped people troubleshoot problems with the game, and fixed a couple of minor bugs reported since the releas...

Version 0.36.0 - Public Release Schedule

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

Version 0.36.0 has now been released for patrons at the $5 level and up. Because Long Live the Princess has moved away from a monthly schedule, this version will become publicly available once version 0.37.0 is out for patrons. Basically, the public version will always be one step behind the patron-only version.

Changelog 0.36.0:

• Added three new scenes with Callie featur...

Long Live the Princess - Version 0.36.0 - Callie

Long Live the Princess version 0.36.0 is now available for download.

This version focuses exclusively on finishing Callie's story in the game, finally allowing you to romance her. This may open up additional options for you during the epilogue.

Callie's new content can branch out into two new paths depending on your choices throughout the game. You may have already locked out one of the t...

Progress Report

It's so close now that I can almost taste it.

Since last week's progress report, I have completed all the renders and other images (cumshots) needed to complete the final Callie scene of the update. Additionally, I have written, coded, and playtested the whole scene. I'm going to tweak some of the opening dialogue because I'm not entirely happy with it, but that's no biggie. Also, I will make a repeatable version of this scene (2 of the 3 new scenes in this update are repeatable). This ...

Progress Report

Oh, hi! I didn't see you there.

Phew, I'm finally starting to see the results of my hard work now. I worked all throughout the weekend on posing just four animation loops, and I've been rendering all of them ever since. When I say "animation loops," I refer to the posing and the movements, not the final images. Each of these loops has two different camera angles. Some of these require multiple renders to deal with things like pubic hair (which may or may not be present, depending on pla...

Progress Report

It's June! Hooray, summer!

But that's not what you're here for. You're here to hear about my progress on the latest update of Long Live the Princess. Well, let me assure you that it's going fine. 

Remember that thing I talked about where I realized that the setup for Callie's third scene wasn't really living up to my expectations for it? This kind of thing happens during game development. The solution, in this case, turned out to involve moving the scene to an entirely differ...

Progress Report

Ugh... If there's one thing that I dislike about working from home during Covid, it's that the weeks pass in the blink of an eye. 

Two out of Callie's three scenes are entirely done now, leaving just one. As I started implementing it, I realized that my plans for it were not satisfying enough and that I could do better, so I went back to the drawing board for a bit. I suspect this is the one scene out of the three that most of you will end up seeing. As such, I want it to feel righ...

The votes are in. Version 0.37 will be about...

Hi everyone!

Before version 0.36, the patrons and subscribers at the Wizard and Grandmaster tiers got the opportunity to vote for what that update should be about. The results were to implement Callie's romance path. 

Now that 0.36 is almost complete, I held another vote, this time for version 0.37. The choice was between Perversity 6, Nell's tower scenes remade, Sister Agnes, the old Fairy Queen's training sessions, and the Shrink spell. 

The vote is now over and ...

Progress Report

Greetings!

This is going to be another routine progress report, so bear with me. Luckily, the one next week should be far juicier, but we'll cover that when we get there.

I have finished all the renders for Callie's second scene and am currently in the middle of writing and coding it. It's going swimmingly, and yet, that is far from quick enough. Only 13 days remain in this month, and the odds of finishing this update before then are diminishing rapidly. I'll do my best, but I wou...

Progress Report

Hi everyone!

It's been a week of posing and rendering the second of three Callie scenes. I'm pretty pleased with how this scene is turning out, both in lighting and posing. I've managed to get some of my best closeups here, which can be notoriously tricky when using Daz models. All the poses are finished at this point, so I only need to do a little more rendering and draw the scene's cumshots.

This particular scene is one of those that feature more than one pose that you can pick ...

Progress Report

Howdy!

It's a new month, and I'm starting to feel the pressure of May's arrival. Lots to do if I'm going to get the update out this month.

On the plus side, I finished Callie's first scene, with playtesting and all. I'd say it was a moderately tricky scene to both write and to animate. The next scene on my slate should be more straightforward in both regards, though the final one might be the worst of the bunch. Oh well, you'll get nowhere if you don't start chipping away at a pro...

Progress Report

Oof, another week has gone by. Is it just me, or do the weeks pass quicker and quicker when you work from home?

Anyway, I have finished up the renders for Callie's first scene in this update. I'm currently writing and implementing it. I don't foresee any significant problems in that regard, so it shouldn't take too long to wrap this scene up. This was one of the most complicated animations I have ever made. Because of the poses involved, finding good camera angles was almost impossible....

The next game after LLtP

Note: This is a tweaked and expanded version of a post I made for Wizard and Grandmaster supporters a little while ago. I felt like the post was good enough to reuse. Apologies to those who already know most of the below, but you'll get more exclusive info later, so stay tuned. I have made this post public so that everything in here can be talked about openly, even with those who do not usually follow my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages.

Progress Report

Hi there!

I finally had a whole week to work on new content instead of fixing bugs. Getting back into creating new scenes took a little getting used to after these weeks, but I'm quickly warming up. 

Right now, I am working on the first of what I expect will be three new sex scenes featuring Callie in version 0.36. Oh yeah, she'll have a lot of them by the time this is over. Not that you'll be able to see all of these scenes in a single playthrough, but that is business as us...

Bugs, Mr. Rico. Zillions of 'em!

What a novelty these past two weeks have been. Massive growth for the game on both Patreon and SubscribeStar, and more bugs than you can shake a stick at. I'm not sure what lesson I'm supposed to learn from this, but I'll try not to make more bugs to attract patrons, I promise.

The bugfixes I published in versions 0.35.1 and 0.35.2 might appear relatively minor from the patch notes. Even so, the work behind the scenes was considerable, taking up mo...

Progress Report

The first week after another major update has passed, and it's been a little unusual. I took it easy over Easter, but looking back, I seem to have been more productive than I thought.

A few days ago, I participated in a cross-promotion together with Motkeyz Games (Timestamps) and NLT (Treasure of Nadia). I don't think I've ever done a genuine cross-promotion before. That's mainly because I don't want to "sell out" by doing commercial stunts for things with no artistic value. But in this...

Treasure of Nadia by NLT & Timestamps by Motkeyz Games

Hi everyone! 

Today, I'm going to do something I don't recall ever doing before: a cross-promotion. Normally, I wouldn't do this kind of thing, but when I got the opportunity to promote two games that I actually both play and enjoy already, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. 

I'm going to let the developers of these two games present them with their own words, so the rest of this post will be written by them. Let me just say that I wouldn't promote these games if I didn...

Long Live the Princess - Version 0.35.2 - New Game Plus

Long Live the Princess version 0.35.2 is now available for download.

With the endgame behind us, it is time to briefly polish things up and get the long-awaited NG+ feature going. Let's set expectations right away: You won't find much new content in this update. This is a Quality of Life and polish update for the most part. It makes improvements to the experience that I didn't have the time to deal with until now. However, that doesn't make these any less important.

We're getting close to the release of version 0.35 now, folks. I'm going to have it out there before the end of the month, though I can't promise an exact date. 

For the past week, I've mostly been tweaking incredibly minor things that, while important to me, might not feel that important to all of you. However, this is my big opportunity to add a significant layer of polish to the experience after the grueling work on the endgame, so I'm taking advantage of it.

We're halfway through March, huh? If there's one thing to be said for time, it's that it flies by. 

Since last week, I have finished the updates to the Fairy Queen's blowjob training, and I have come a long way on Callie's masturbation/handjob scenes. It may sound boring to have me list so many scenes you are already familiar with every week. Still, I really think these updates are going to add some much-needed polish to the experience. At this stage of development, it's the perfec...

Hi everyone!

Since last week, I have finished my improvements of Belle's riverside sex scene, the one where you watch the mystery woman. I am now working on improvements to the Fairy Queen's blowjob training. 

Also, I have started doing serious design work on my next game, which I know many of you are eager to learn more about. Truth to be told, I'm scared shitless of talking about it. There's this part of me that knows that the moment I share any details about it is the mome...

Progress Report

Hi, everyone!

I've been out of town this weekend, which has taken its toll on my productivity this week. I do a lot of my LLtP work on the weekends under normal circumstances, after all.

This week, I finished rebuilding all of Erato's solo sex scenes (i.e., any scene that doesn't feature the Fairy Queen), which was a lot of work. 

I have also done significant work on Belle's riverside sex scene, which was also quite outdated by now. With these updates, not only will the...
