Howdy everyone!
Just a small update for you all today, fixing a few issues with the 0.32 release and packing a few improvements besides!
This time, I made sure the extra save files worked too, so they're bundled with the download once again should you need them.

Hey again everyone,
So far, 12AM UTC Sunday the 5th is looking like a go as this time suits most people very well. The one minor issue is that it is a compromise on my part and even if I debuted at that time, it's not something I could really sustain long term. Besides being a poor fit for my schedule, my neighbours are not the quietest and have screaming children that would definitely be an issue. I wanted to float another time by you all which is the time that would be suit me to see ...

It's here!
I've already spoken at length about this build and its contents, so rather than bore you all to death with a lengthy recap, let's just dig right in, shall we? This update contains the rest of Day 16, an expanded explanation on Day 15 with Apollo, significant improvements to compression resulting in a dramatically smaller file size, a jukebox, new sprites, illustrations, and more besi...
2021-09-02 01:13:39 +0000 UTC View PostI know, I know, I promised I'd set a date when Day 16 was done and all that. Things have been hectic trying to get the last of the build together, but now that's all done and I have no excuse not to!
I'm thinking of holding at the first stream 12AM UTC Sunday the 5th. This will be 5PM Saturday PDT and 8PM Saturday EDT.
The better the turnout, the smoother this will be - I hate streaming to empty lobbies! So let me know if this time suits you guys or not. If not, leave a s...

A look at the new sprites from this months build! We've got a brand new character Gran, a skinny version of Diego from his pre-raptor days, a teeny weeny little Lukas as he looked 34 years ago, and finally, 100% Real Meat!
2021-08-31 23:19:55 +0000 UTC View PostGood news, everyone!
September's Patreon Build has just been finished! That means we will be releasing on time after all! Wooo! Gotta love those on time releases, huh?!
So I'll give you guys one last progress report for this update and some info about this forthcoming release.
First, CurryCatz has asked me to pass a message on to you guys. He says that he is sorry if this month's artwork isn't quite up to the usual standard or effort. As you might already know, he's ...
2021-08-31 22:22:52 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to the most concise progress report ever. I'm exhausted and I'm about to hit the hay, but I'm just dropping in to say that Day 16 just got pushed to the team for review.
It's got two flashbacks in it, and below is a screenshot from one of them.
Gonna die now kthx
2021-08-26 23:13:30 +0000 UTC View PostI am on the home stretch with Day 16 and expect to have it finished tomorrow. I have been working on this thing for weeks... there's just the final scene to finish now, then the spelling/grammar pass followed by a technical pass. Then at long last it will be done. Thank god...
I'm in a weird situation where I don't rightly know if what I've produced is actually any good or not. It probably is and my perception is simply warped by having spent such a long time on it, th...
2021-08-24 13:37:23 +0000 UTC View PostI don't really have a whole lot to report, but it's been a hot minute since the last one so I thought I'd check in.
I'm still hard at work on Day 16. It's getting there slowly but it's still got a way to go yet. It's a good day with some great content in it so I'm really hoping it hits the mark!
Also in other interesting news, we have employed new file formats in the engine which have allowed us to save an absolutely massive amount of space. How massive? Try
Howdy everyone,
Thanks for your responses to the post asking you guys what you'd like to see, as well as your responses to the merch poll a little while back. Just a small update on where we're at with those things.
Starting with merch, this is on hold until next month at this stage simply because CurryCatz is busy with his food caravan job and there just isn't time to tackle that right now. He's fully dedicated to Sileo from September onwards, so that will be the time we work out...
2021-08-16 05:09:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
With both CurryCatz and I having begun trying to make Sileo work full time, we're working to step up our game to try and grow SIleo and the community that surrounds it.
With that in mind, we're curious if there's anything that you guys would want to see from us? We don't even know what to suggest really, so we're entirely looking for suggestions. Would something like one of us (it'd be me for sure lol) streaming stuff here and there be something people would be...
2021-08-13 10:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostHoly SHIT.
Scratch version of Day 16's second half is done. It'll get a lot longer once I've done my next few passes, but Day 16 (as a whole) already exceeds 50k words and 3000 lines. This makes it notably longer than Day 14 which was previously the longest day. What a monster!
There's still a long road ahead before this thing is release ready, but finally having the scratch version done is good progress. Was hard going getting this far, but I'm glad we've gotten there...

So, we're slowly but surely approaching the end of Tai's route and there's been plenty of discussion and speculation on our Discord about who or what is next in line!
There's definitely a lot of opinions out there, so we're interested in seeing some numbers.
Note this is not a binding poll or anything like that, though it likely will have at least some impact on our decision.
What would you like to see us do after Tai's ro...
2021-08-07 07:48:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! First and foremost, we'll probably be doing more polls in future than we have before, so I'm going to start tagging poll-related posts to make them easier to find, just like we've started doing for progress reports, and how we've always done for hi-res artwork and build releases.
Now, the results of the poll. We hear you loud and clear: There's a clear interest in merch, but the vast majority of you would rather purchase merchandise outright rather than receive it as...

I've taken a few days to recover from last months absolute grind of a dev cycle (and by recover I mostly just mean sit there like a vegetable lacking the will to do anything) and today, I'll be making a start on the new content for next months update.
Although that said, it's not to say I haven't done anything since the update. Those of you in our Discord might have spotted one new feature I've already put some time into, being the Jukebox:

Sorry this one came a little later than the usual time! I've been crunching like I've never crunched before to try and get this monstrosity across the finish line! What was supposed to be a smaller monthly update containing mostly in between content as we work towards the next major plot event turned into something a bit ridiculous, a bit crazy, very challenging to brick up to par and more than a lit...
2021-08-02 14:32:30 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy Patrons,
On the team, we've been discussing ideas that would help to expand Sileo's reach and add value to our tiers here on Patreon. One such idea that we've been discussing is adding merchandise rewards to some of our tiers.
Patreon offers a merchandise service which allows us to add rewards like posters, clothing, mugs and stickers as rewards for remaining subscribed to a tier for a sufficient length of time.
This is attractive to us as it's very much a hands-...

A quick update on how things are going with 0.31.
So, to recap, 0.31 was intended to contain a small chunk of story (owing to the delay of 0.30 which gave us only half a month to work with) with some technical improvements on the side to fill up any remaining time we had.
Well, it's the 30th right now, and... I'm still working on the story. Sigh. Don't worry though, I'm not expecting to have to delay, 99% sure I'll get it done on time! But as always, there's a...
2021-07-30 07:44:40 +0000 UTC View PostUh-Oh... It would seem that things have come full circle!
One of the many morals of Sileo is to not be afraid of taking leaps of faith. Sometimes, when you're unhappy or suffering, the unfamiliar can often seem preferable to the familiar misery. Of course, Adrian took a leap of faith that landed him in Woodcrest and despite some rocky situations in some of the routes, overall, it went quite well!
When I originally wrote that line, I hearkened back to times in past where I'd made r...

Just a quick check in to let you know how things are going, and to let you know that we're moving away from MEGA for our file hosting. It seemed that problems were only becoming more frequent as time went along and MEGA had always been intended as a temporary solution anyway.
I spent a lot of time shopping around, hoping to find a provider through which an autopatcher would be possible, only to find that to get it the way I want it, I'd pretty much have to bui...

Hey everyone,
I touched on this in the gargantuan post I made about a week or so back, but now that the build is out and you've all (hopefully!) had an opportunity to see it first hand, I figure it's a good time to revisit what led to this particular sequence being done the way it was.
So as I've mentioned previously, we got a late start during June on account of the technical work ...
