All right, it's a new month, and you know what that means.
That's right, it's time to talk about what I'm making for the next version. Well, at least part of what I'm making. I'm not going to talk about the scenes I plan to do but haven't started yet.
If you've played the last update, you'll know that you can finally learn the Probe Memories spell, though there is no content for it. That's what I'm aiming to fix right now. For the past week, I've been hard at work posing and...

Oh boy, this update really turned out to be something special, I think. It's not the most significant update in terms of gameplay length (far from it, in fact), and it doesn't contain even a single new sex scene. What, then, makes it stand out?
First of all, version 0.29 finally lets you confront the Crone about all the secrets she has been k...

Ahoy!
So, this past weekend, I finished that big scene I've been working on over this month. I've been going over it again and again, wanting to make sure everything is right about it. I don't want to take any chances with such a pivotal moment in the game's story. The perfectionist in me will never be entirely satisfied with it, but I feel like it's done now.
Since that scene took me longer to make than I had expected, I didn't get the time to start work on the additional scene I...

What, it's been a week since the last progress report already? Where does the time go?
I'm still working on the same scene as last time, though the puzzle itself is done (needing only a bit of polish at this point), and the images are posed and mostly rendered. There is a lot of work involved in setting up these Invade Mind sequences, especially when they get as big as this. I believe this will be the most extensive such sequence in the entire game. It makes sense, though, considering h...

Hi everyone!
It's that magical time of the month where I reveal what I'm focusing on for the current update, so buckle up! It's going to be quite the ride.
There's only one more thing that needs doing before we head into the endgame, and it's a big one. Ever since the first version of this game, two and a half years ago, players have been speculating about the identity and agenda of the Crone. Well, you're all finally going to get your answer. Version 0.29 sees you facing down the...

This month's update brings us to the end of the Leanan Sídhe's story, finally answering the mystery behind who she is and what she's trying to accomplish. We also get a new scene with Belle, and the final puzzle piece needed for next month's update gets introduced.
This version features what I consider to be the best animations I've made for this game so far. I'm clearly still learning, after all this time.

Hi there!
Here are a few more vacation pics for you all before the month is over and we return to our regular release schedule.
One of these pics is new, while the other two are simply alternate angles of the render you got last time. I thought the scene deserved to be viewed from a few more directions.
Remember, use the links below to get the full, uncompressed versions of these renders.
Until next time!

Greetings, everyone!
After finishing a plot-crucial scene last week, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to follow it up with. I briefly toyed with the thought of doing something else of importance, but quickly discarded that idea. I wanted to make something fun and unimportant, a bit of fan service if you will.
As a result, I ended up working on a new scene for Belle. Yeah, she already has her fair share, but she could use a little more. The problem was, how do I make some...

Ah, it's good to make substantial progress without feeling exhausted at the same time. Taking December off really made me feel a lot better, and I think it shows in what I produce.
I finished the first big scene of the update just today, which leaves the rest of the month for me to add something that isn't quite so serious. The finished scene is the end of the Leanan Sídhe's storyline, so it was vital to get it right. I'm excited to see what people will t...

Greetings, my friends!
As you probably know, there is no new version of Long Live the Princess in January. However, that doesn't mean I want to leave you empty-handed as a loyal supporter of the game. What I can do instead is to offer a few bonus images for everyone who would have otherwise gotten a game download this month.
As a reminder, the next version is slated for February 5th.
The included image shows how Callie and the Fairy Queen spent their time while I took ...

Hi there!
The first week after my hiatus is done, and I've been pretty productive with renders. I'm currently up to, I believe, 81 images, though not all of them are done rendering yet. Most of those images are used for a sex scene that came out really well, with more realistic animation (and physics!) than anything else that I've done for this game yet. It just goes to show that I keep learning the more I do this.
As for the writing for this first scene, I've done a little bit of...

Hello, everyone!
After a full month's break, it's time for me to get off my ass and start working again. This little vacation has been good to me, almost too much so. It was kind of weird to experience again how my life used to be before I started this crazy project two and a half years ago. I never knew how good I had it. In any case, I'm itching to get started on the next chapter of this story. In fact, I have already written some dialogue and worked on some new renders today.

Hi, everyone!
As mentioned previously, I'm taking a much-needed break this month. Working two jobs for 2 1/2 years was really starting to catch up with me, so being able to take it easy for a little while is exceptionally healthy to my mind and body. I'm already feeling a lot better.
Since there are no progress reports this month (obviously), I thought I'd give you a bonus image, in 4K resolution, of Belle relaxing on the beach in an entirely wholesome way. Enjoy! The uncomp...

Hi everyone!
This week's progress report is at the bottom of this post, but I thought it would be best if I started with some other information first. I have made this post public as a one-time thing because the information can also be useful to non-patrons/subscribers.
I first started working on this game in August of 2017. That's roughly two years and four months ago. Since then, I've produced a minimum of one update for Long Live the Princess every single month, withou...

Hi everyone!
Well, that was a fascinating week. The Patreon campaign experienced a massive growth burst that has persisted over the entire week (no changes on the SubscribeStar page, which isn't nearly as popular). Long Live the Princess has had slow and steady growth over the past year, but what we've seen this past week is about 50% of the growth we had for that entire year! Wherever all these new patrons came from, wherever you discovered LLtP, thank you! And welcome!

Hi, patrons!
It's a new month once again. Seriously, do these things ever stop coming?
Version 0.26 is now out of the way. We have got Samarra, Nell, and the Fairy Queen to the point in the story where they are ready for the endgame. I could always add more scenes (particularly sex scenes) to each of them, but that will come as time permits. The most important thing right now is to push forward, so that's what I'll continue to do.
With that in mind, I am going to start out t...

Update 2: Updated to version 0.26.1. This hotfix fixes an issue that could occur if you solved Nell's dark secret before solving the Fairy Queen's vision. In version 0.26.0, this resulted in you losing a vital clue while still needing it. 0.26.1 no longer removes that clue early and will restore the clue to any saves that were affected by the bug. Please note that the Android version has not been updated since I don't port the game myself. If you need an Android hotfix, keep an eye on thi...

Hi, patrons!
Three more days until version 0.26.0 is released for patrons, and I'm thankfully almost done with it. I managed to get out of my slump, so the last week has been very productive. Despite that, this month's update is smaller than usual, even if it still contains more than 7000 new words of dialogue.
There is no new sexual content whatsoever in this update, which is probably a first for LLtP. That's the downside of creating a game that puts a lot of emphasis on st...

Oh boy, just one and a half weeks left until this update is supposed to be out? *starts sweating profusely*
I'm now knee-deep in writing the main sections of version 0.26. Just today, I finished writing and implementing Nell's dark secret, and it's a fun one. There are more questions for you to answer during the spellcasting than in any other such secret right now, so you'd better keep your wits about you.
With that out of the way, I'm going to make some slight changes to he...

This update is killing me. Actually, let me rephrase that: The last update and this update put together, are killing me. My body is screaming at me to slow down a little, and so I have.
While it can be hard to make a good sex scene because of all the moving parts (sometimes literally) that go into them, it turns out making dramatic scenes is harder. I'm about to hit this update's 40th render, and they're all used for dialogue. It's been incredibly tricky picking when things are going to...

Have you played version 0.25.0 yet? If you have, you will probably realize by now that Nell is the focus of the upcoming version 0.26. You have some news to bring her, and who knows how she will react to them?
Unlike last month, no sex scene is "required" for the primary path this time. This means that all my focus in the first part of October will be on dialogue, puzzles, and story events. If I still have time over after that, I'll try to add some sexual content, but it's not the prior...

It's a pretty big update, and the story is about to make significant strides ahead.
