Progress Report (Build Soon!)

I'd very much hoped to have the new build out by now, thankfully it isn't far off! In a weird inversion of the usual scenario, I'm done with my stuff and I'm just waiting on artwork before I can finalize everything and begin release prep.

This morning I put the final touches on the last chapter of Day 5 for Axels route. This one turned out really nice I think, it's extremely sweet and has a few hilarious moments. I'm really looking forward to seeing the response to this chapter, espec...

Progress Report

Another so soon? You bet. All going to plan you'll soon see why.

Today I finished work on 5x8, being uhh... You know. The gay shit. I'm still waiting on the artwork for that one hence the mostly, I'll finalize and perfect it once I have that. But for now, I'm pretty happy with what I have and I'm sure you will all love it too.

All that remains now is to complete 5x9 which is a short wrap up chapter for the day. This one shouldn't take too long. I'm aiming to finish that tomorrow...

Progress Report

I've just pushed the first half~ of the next update to the team for review! This is everything leading up to... well, you know where this is going, right?

This scene is about 5000 words and features a neat little smoke animation on the background showing it drifting across the room throughout the sequence. 

Next up, it's time to write some gay shit! Wish me luck!

Clarification on Tai's Route & Route Order

Hey, Patrons!

We've kept getting questions about the shift in development focus and the status of various in-progress or upcoming content. With the added context here on Patreon, you guys mostly know what's up, and most of these questions are coming through public channels anyway. Regardless, the post may contain some information you find helpful, so I'm just letting you know it's here!

Sileo December Patreon Update (0.50) Now Available!

It's finally here!

Sorry for the long-ass wait on that one! If you've been reading the progress reports, you'll already know why it took so long, so we won't go into that again here. You'll also have some idea of what to expect, and it only seems fitting that we do go into that here!

The flagship feature of this new update is that it introduces Axel & Dom's route! View Post

Progress Report (SOON!)

Super quick progress report to say everything is done and the builds are with the team now for content review and testing. I'm about to drag my tired ass to bed, but once I wake up, assuming no major bugs are found or anything like that, I'll be compiling final builds and releasing ASAP. Thanks for your patience, sorry it's been a long wait, but hopefully the update is worth it - it's the biggest in a while and includes some fun moments!

Progress Report!

Just a quick one today to clue you all in on where we're at and how things are shaping up.

Axel5x6 is about 65% complete right now. It's been smooth sailing with everything coming together in the first pass very nicely. The second pass will mostly be polish with no dramatic changes, which is to say it shouldn't take very long at all. I'm hoping to wrap it up and send it off to the team tomorrow at this rate. Once I've done that, we'll begin prepping for release.

Axel & Dom's Route - A Foreword.

So, with that cat (or cheetah?) now out of the bag, now might be a good time to discuss this route, our approach, philosophy and exactly what we're going for with this new route.

So, as you all probably already know, this is a route that will explore a polyamorous relationship. This was something that was planned before Sileo even debuted publicly back in 2020, but back then the idea that the route would explore polyamory was pretty much the only concrete idea. As we've discussed before...

Progress Report - New Plan!

So, when I work on a scene that just isn't quite coming together as I'd hope, that's a fairly draining experience. 19x6 was one such experience, and alas 1x4R has followed suit. When I switched things up to do the intro rework in order to take some time away from 19x6, that definitely helped me find a good groove again. Alas, 1x4R killed that groove dead, so it kinda felt like I was back to square one in that regard. 

So, there's a teensy weensy change of plans for the upcoming bui...

Russell's Living Room Background

This one is a bit of a sneak peek and something CurryCatz has whipped up ahead of time so I can begin experimenting with a sequence that takes place here. Not Pictured: the bong that is shaped like a canid penis. You think I'm joking, don't you? C'mon, this is Russell we're talking about... the dude clearly bakes.

The sequence in question is actually one of the early scenes in Axel's route. But what are we doing in Russell's house? Well, you'll just have to wait and see now, wo...

Progress Report

Hey guys, sorry about the radio silence. It's been one thing after another on my end. Most recently I've fallen ill which has made progress more difficult than usual, and that's already on top of a bunch of other shit I'm dealing with at the moment. Life's a beach, as they say.

Rest assured an update is coming and there is progress happening. And as always, I'd rather it be sooner than later. Apologies for the wait!

Progress Report

So, as of my last progress report, I'd finished work on 1x3R and intended to complete work on 1x4R and release them both together. With how easily the three preceding chapters had come together, I expected this subsequent one would follow suit.

Naturally, this wasn't quite the case, and now I wish I'd just released 1x3R standalone as I'd originally planned to do. Whoops. 

After several sessions of writing that simply didn't produce material I'm satisfied with, I've described ...

So, Chapter 3 of the Day 1 Remake is completely finished! The final cut of this sequence ended up at 4445 words and 312 lines. Interestingly, this is a greater word count than Chapter 2, despite there being fewer lines - thanks in part to more code in that earlier chapter.

For this content, we've decided to hold onto 1x3R for now and release it bundled with 1x4R, thereby bringing the remake of ...

Progress Report!

Sorry things have been a little quiet as of late!

I've been chipping away at the next chunk of the introduction remake, with the third chapter of day 1 being a wonderful sequence where Diego and Adrian walk home together while catching up on all the happenings in the two years since they last spoke. There are a ton more small moments that help set up events later in the story, be that events in routes, or events that will be a part of the remade intro. There's a ton of great banter, sev...

October Patreon Build Now Available!

Our next content update has finally arrived, bringing with it an additional chapter in the new Intro Remake!

We didn't want to keep you waiting too long to see what we had up our sleeves for the next chapter in the brand-new intro experience, so here it is! This update nearly doubles the length of the content available in the Intro Remake, showcasing a brand-new and dramatically expanded sequen...

Progress Report

Took a couple of days to get back to this, been dealing with a touch of insomnia and some family obligations, but tonight, I've finally concluded IntroDay1x2R (the new extended station sequence) which is with the team for review and testing at present. The final cut weighs in at a mighty 417 lines and 4002 words - for contrast, the equivalent scene in the legacy intro was 46 lines and 587 words. 

The most significant change here is that Axel waits at the station with Adrian, and Di...

Progress Report!

Tonight, I finally got to work on the continuation of the Day 1 Remake. The hardest thing with writing has been finding a good groove. Sometimes, it's so hard to know where to even begin. In past, when I've struggled, I've forced out anything I can with little regard for quality because at least it's something, and it's much easier to improve upon something than to start with nothing. My process these days prevents anything I actively consider subpar from even being seen by the team, let alon...

Restaurant BG

There's artwork finished for Day 19 that I can't post because of spoilers, but I figure this one doesn't really spoil a whole lot. 

Later in the day, Adrian and Tai dine in a fancy restaurant. Here's the BG CurryCatz whipped up for that!

A Moment Preceding Unfortunate Events

On his first night in Woodcrest after Diego has gone to bed, Adrian hears an unusual sound from Diego's bedroom! Peering through the keyhole to investigate (and not to check if he sleeps in the nude, he swears!), he sees something that sends a chill up his spine... uh-oh!

Those few of you who played our original prototype might recall a brief scene at the end of day 1 where you can peer into Di...

Departure from Scheduled Releases

Hello everyone,

A few days ago, we switched the billing model on our Patreon to “subscription billing.” This means that when somebody subscribes, they receive a full month of membership no matter when during the month they choose to do so, and only pay again on the same date the following month. Previously, everyone was billed at the beginning of the month, and paid the full monthly amount regardless of when during the month they signed up.

Obviously, this change is something ...

Change to Subscription Billing

Howdy, y'all.

Just thought I'd check in and let you all know I've switched the Sileo Patreon to Subscription Billing effective immediately. While I don't expect this will change anything for you guys at the moment, it will change things for new and returning Patrons.

Essentially, billing now occurs on the same date you signed up every month. If you signed up on the 25th, you will no longer pay once and then again in a week's time when the month rolls over - you will pay once, then...

Intro Remake Tease

Just a little something something to whet your appetites. 

I wasn't quite finding my groove with 19x6 as I'd hoped, so I've done as I said I'd do if things didn't go to plan and switched over to working on the Day 1 Remake instead. With CurryCatz here, we're both more or less co-directing this new opening and tossing ideas back and forth as well as working together to provide material for the new opening is much much easier in person!

Quick Progress Update!

Hey, y'all. Sorry things have been pretty quiet this month so far. I've been posting small check-ins over in our Discord in the Patreon section as I don't like making posts here unless there's something more substantial than a small nightly update, but it all culminates into something bigger and worth talking about, so here's a small roll up of the development progress this month.

I've resumed work on 19x6 today and made some small progress, I'm hoping to make a lot more in the coming d...
