Want Sileo merch, but wanting something other than a shirt?
Well, good news! We now have two brand new dakis on sale featuring both of the main routes currently available in Sileo - one for Diego, and one for Tai!
These are on sale right now over at Pawprint Press for $59.99 a piece!

Hey, guys.
As discussed in my previous update, here is the public release for this month. We're aiming to have some new content available for you soon, but this update contains some juicy bug fixes and improvements, so if you're planning on playing any of the existing content in the interim, an update is highly recommended!
Most notably, the uncommon issue where a character portrait would...
2022-09-02 10:33:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey all. I'm just dropping in to let you know where things are at at this stage and when you can expect the next release.
In my last update, I talked about what's been going on, so I won't go into that again. As things currently stand, I still haven't wrapped up work on any new content yet, so there's nothing to release just yet at least in terms of content. There is enough to release a purely technical update as I have made some improvements and fixed some bugs, in particular,...
2022-08-31 08:39:34 +0000 UTC View PostHeya everyone,
I'd hoped to have a build out long before now, but isn't that always the way? In the past week or two, I've finally seen the bigger picture and come to terms with the fact that what I've been dealing with this entire time is nothing more or less than good old depression. It's easy remain ignorant to that fact, associating depression with some sort of "sadness", but the truth I should already have known is that more than not, depression is merely intense apathy. Much of th...
2022-08-26 13:54:55 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like I forgot to upload this one back when it was released. Whoops! Here it is!
2022-08-18 04:41:28 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy!
First of all, just to let you know we've released last months 19x5 update over on Itch.io. This update also includes a few other improvements, such as the first of several small updates overhauling the gallery system to match the 0.4X update (starting with the gallery main menu) and the inclusion of the "Something Roo'd" picture set released here last month. All this stuff will be in the forthcoming Patreon update when that is released, but if you'd like to check it out, grab it ...

I dunno why I decided that was gonna be the intro, but I did. Soz.
Anyway, just dropping in to let you know what we're doing this month.
Our first priority is to hopefully get 19x6 out the door. Due to struggles with our (my) pace in producing content, we have relaxed our insistence on following a specific order. However I would still really like to finish Tai's route as soon as I can, especial...

Before we roll browser-based builds of Sileo out to the public, I wanted to do a quick check-in to see how people's experiences were with it! We've had zero issues reported with both the Patreon portal as well as the actual build itself which is encouraging, but only a small portion of people have opted to play this way with most preferring the downloadable versions (which is great, those builds are and likely always will be superior!), so there is always the possibility somethin...
2022-08-07 15:33:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Surprise!
We'd planned to release this one early next month, but seeing as you were all so patient waiting for the release of the new patreon build, I figured why not release it a little early?
Enjoy!

Phew! Sorry this one arrived so late!
If you've read my progress updates along the way, you'll have some idea of what developing this build was like, but suffice it to say it wasn't fun! Thankfully, it's all done now, just barely squeezing into the month of July.
Despite development being somewhat rocky, I'm happy with the results and I hope you all will be too! This build comes wit...
2022-07-31 07:38:30 +0000 UTC View PostJust dropping in to let you know I've finally wrapped up work on 19x5 for the second and hopefully final time, and this is now with the team for review.
I feel a lot more confident in this version and that it addresses the shortcomings of the previous less successful attempt while keeping what worked and dialling up the humor and absurdity.
Assuming I did not shit the bed once again with this one, I'll have it ready to play in a build before the month is over! And don'...
2022-07-29 20:32:02 +0000 UTC View PostJust a check in to let you know what's going on as I haven't provided much in the way of progress updates here on Patreon. I tend to post smaller more fine grained updates in the Patreon section of our discord server as I feel they tend not to warrant a patreon post, but with how long this build has been taking and how the progress has been, that's amounted to mostly radio silence here on Patreon which is not what I want at all. Sorry about that.
Come hell or high water, this update
It's been a long time coming... a long, long time coming! But finally, from around 7PM PST tonight (three hours from now), our first merchandise item will be on sale over at PawPrint Press!

2022-07-16 06:38:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Wow, it sure has been a rocky ride getting to this point, huh?!
From starting work on official support, to canceling it due to issues in Ren'Py, and then reviving it shortly after when an update to Ren'Py fixed all those issues! It's enough to make you feel dizzy!
But now, finally, the day has come for us to launch the first official version of Sileo with web browser support! We've done e...
2022-07-11 03:04:46 +0000 UTC View PostJust in case you thought we might have forgotten, don't worry, we haven't! Sadly, I still haven't gotten the content quite right. I pushed a version to the team today, but it quickly became clear I needed to reconsider some things and shake up the order in which a few things happen, so back to the drawing board I go. It is abject suffering, believe me, but I am also largely satisfied with how Tai's route has turned out and I know I would never forgive myself if I let myself get lazy at such a...
2022-07-10 05:32:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt's happening.
Over the past few days, the team has gone over the new Ren'Py 7.5-based web builds to test for bugs and ensure it is up to standard. I'm pleased to reveal that everyone has given the thumbs-ups and thus far, not a single issue has been found! This means we will be going ahead with a beta release in the (hopefully!) near future!
Right now, we're waiting on the Patreon authentication implementation to be finished. It's currently working at a basic level but needs som...
2022-07-05 05:15:58 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I guess this means I'm eating my words. Perhaps you recall my prediction that the issues with Ren'Py Web were unlikely to be fixed anytime soon?
Well, Ren'Py 7.5 launched a few days ago. And it seems most of the issues have been resolved. The browser based client can now run in Chromium based browsers just fine and is saving data between sessions. Not only that, but some other issues like improperly displayed save thumbnails seem to have been rectified as well. Performance is stil...
2022-07-02 06:03:36 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy, everyone!
This month's public build is now available over on Itch, if you'd like to grab it as an update for last month's Patreon release, you can do so here!
With regards to this month's Patreon build release, what can I say except that it's been a challenging month! It's very important to get this stuff right. When the key sequence of an entire plot doesn't land, the whole plot tends to fall flat. So far...
2022-07-02 00:41:59 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy!
So I thought I'd quickly drop in and let you know where things are at.
Right now, 19x5 and 19x6 are the primary focus. These two chapters are another case of content originally planned for a single chapter being divided between two simply to make them more manageable. Ultimately, these two chapters will wrap up the main plots of Tai's Route and answer a number of burning questions I'm sure you've all been eager to see answered. How do things end up with Glenn? Who wins thei...
2022-06-22 21:30:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So we've been talking about a browser-based build for a few months now and had planned to release that this month in beta.
Unfortunately however, we've reached a point where we have to admit defeat. Ren'Py's web client in it's current state is much too broken and buggy for a web-based release of Sileo to be viable.
As of right now, it does not work in Chrome, Edge, Opera or any other Chromium based browser. The Ren'Py devs claim this is an issue with Chr...
2022-06-14 06:03:43 +0000 UTC View PostToday marks the second anniversary of the day Sileo was first unleashed upon the world!
On June 9th 2020, the very first build of Sileo, version 0.10, was uploaded to Itch. This build only contained the first three days of content, and the only characters included were Diego, Axel, Dom, Tai and Lukas (neither Eric nor Kyrex would make their debuts until the very first Patreon update released a week or so later!).
If you're getting a sense of deja vu, that will be because we recent...

Fashionably late as always, but well worth your time, we promise!
What was originally planned to be a small release supplemented by another mid-month update ended up becoming our longest build in a good while! Not only that, but it definitely contains some of the best writing I've produced in quite some time! It was another challenging build to produce - getting everything right saw it all expa...
2022-06-08 04:58:48 +0000 UTC View PostWork on 19x4 has wrapped and I've released the new content and the overall patreon build to the team for testing and review.
In the end, nothing drastic was done with the weaker first sequence in the new chapter, but it received a heavy polish in the third pass which seems to have done the trick. It feels noticably stronger now with the overall chapter being damn solid overall, of a higher quality than my usual output for sure!
Not all of the team is around at the moment, so...
2022-06-07 14:53:38 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, look, I know I promised it wouldn't be long. But you should know by now that I am completely useless at keeping to schedule comittments! Of course it'd take me like a whole other week, just like, my thing, man!
On a more serious note, I wanted to discuss where I'm at right now and what the remaining steps are before I can finally get this thing in your hands!
19x4's second pass is about to wrap up shortly. It consists of two main sequences, one of which I'm pretty d...
2022-06-06 02:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostJust a small progress update to let you know where I'm at.
Firstly, I have several people on my back about the crazy crunch I keep subjecting myself to. Those people would be pleased to know I'm pacing myself and making sure I get plenty of rest when it's needed. Like now! I'm about to hit the hay and I plan to come back and finish off what's left tomorrow. I'd hoped to do it today, but I know I'm past best and nothing but a good nights sleep is going to fix that. So for the sake of qua...
2022-06-03 19:49:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
I worked my ass off to try and get the update out today as planned, but it's reached the point where I'm exhausted and progressing at a fraction of my usual pace. I need a good sleep to recharge my batteries, so I've admitted defeat for tonight which means the Patreon build will be in the next day or two sometime. Sorry, I tried, but it's a thicc sequence packed with all kinds of shit, getting it nailed down is time consuming to say the least!

As mentioned in previous posts, I took a long break this month for a much needed detox from ADHD meds and I'm in the process of trying to reconstruct a healthier and, crucially, more effective routine when it comes to my work. All that is to say the build scheduled for release in a few days is something I've produced with only a week to do it. And... it's surprisingly dense!
