Night Games - Enter the Ninja Girl b3 (Public release)

The new update for Night Games is now available to everyone.  It's been a while since the last update, so a lot of content has piled up.

This is the first update since the forum went live, so let’s make the most of it. If you have any bug reports or want to talk about the game, please speak up on the forum here: http://www.silverbardgames.com/forum 

If you like the game and are interested in get...

Night Games ETNGb3 [Premium]

Here's a small update that fixes a the gender misidentification in Bunshin Assault and Bunshin Service. It also includes the Strip Tease art from the most recent poll.

Changing some of the later goals

I'm pleased to announce that we've surpassed our $400 goal! AimlessArt is going to be working on the sprites for Kat and Samantha. Once he's done, those will be added to both the standard and premium versions of Night Games.

Thanks to the tremendous increase in support we're seeing surrounding the release of the Premium version, we've had to take some time to reassess upcoming goals.

The $750 goal was about Team Strip Match, which I've stopped working on due to its lack of interest. It d...

Premium Art Sample

A few people have asked for samples of what the Premium art looks like, so Aimless Art cropped a few of the images together.

All the in-game art is uncensored.

Night Games ETNG Bugfix 2 (Important)

Definitely download this version if you got bugfix 1. I'm not sure when this bug was introduced, but it had to be after I finished testing, or I would have found it immediately. This should fix two extremely common crashes.

Changelog:

Fixed a crash caused by damage reporting when NPCs calm down.

Fixed a crash caused by damage reporting when NPCs heal.

Night Games - Enter the Ninja Girl [Patron release]

Before we start, if you are a $5+ Patron, be sure to  check the post below this to get the Premium build with additional art.

Starting now, we'll be releasing two builds of Night Games with each update, the standard build and the premium build, which will be available to $5+ Patrons. The versions are mechanically identical, but the Premium build contains some high quality event CGs that will appear during daytime scenes. All this art is done by AimlessArt, and it's some of the best in the...

Night Games - Enter the Ninja Girl [Premium]

First of all, apologies if you downloaded the first copy I posted, which had a progression blocking bug. This build corrects that issue.

The new Night Games update is out, and there's a tag we haven't seen before. As you know, we've been adding art to the game, paid for by your contribution. We wanted to add something special to show you guys our appreciation.  So, starting now, we are going to be releasing Premium builds with additional event CG for our $5+ Patrons. 

We will s...

Expect Night Games update this Friday

I've put off this update long enough. I finished the content I originally planned for this update more than a month ago, but during testing, I kept finding things I wanted to change, and thus the scope of the update has ballooned.

As of last night, I'm calling this update officially done and will stop adding new content until I finish testing and release it. In addition to a totally new opponent, there are enough major gameplay changes that I'll need a few days of solid testing.

Night Games - Next skill art poll

The winner of the last poll was Slime. It's already drawn and will be in the next release.

Hopefully the release will be ready before the winner of this poll is done, but AimlessArt has been drawing quicker than I've been writing recently. We'll see what happens.

Night Games - Pet Art Poll

AimlessArt has let me know he's interested in drawing another pet summoning illustration. Since the Female Faerie and Female Imp are already drawn, there are four remaining pets that still need art. Let us know which you want to see first.

Night Games - Yui Preview

It's been suggested to me that I probably don't give you guys enough news about upcoming content. I do like the idea of keeping things a surprise until they're out, but if you want to be surprised, you probably aren't following the feed.

So, here's a sneak peek at the next unlockable opponent. Many of you have already met Yui in the current version of the game, and won't be too surprised to hear she uses the same ninjutsu techniques she teaches.

In addition to a new opponent...

Trounce Tickle Tease

Surprise! A new game!

Here's a short Rock Paper Scissors style game I put together to get some practice with Ren'Py. I liked how it turned out so I decided to commission some artwork and release it.

This is a game about strip wrestling with some unconventional tactics. It's not a long game, but it's complete. I hope you guys like it.

Also, this game provides an opportunity to justify the existence of my new forum. visit 2017-06-17 01:27:07 +0000 UTC View Post

AimlessArt will be doing a livestream tomorrow

AimlessArt has just let me know he is going to be streaming the next piece of art he does for Night Games. Tomorrow, June 3rd at 1pm EST, he'll be live on his Picarto channel above. Stop by so you can watch him work and chat with him.

Next art poll

For this next art poll, I picked some more advanced skills. As a result, it's a bit of a stranger selection.

Edit: Ok, most of the eligible patrons have voted, I'm going to call the poll finished.

I created a forum

I'm now hosting a forum to facilitate discussion about my and other adult games. You certainly don't need to be a patron to join. I would encourage everyone to stop by and post any questions, comments or suggestions you have.

Changelog:

Each of the main characters now has sprites for their advanced costumes
Each of the main characters now has expressions for each mood. They are a bit subtler than the old portraits

[Patron Release]Night Games - Moody Costume Party

Hi everyone.

This release would have come out on Sunday, except I spent most of the weekend sick in bed. As a result, it is less thoroughly tested than usual. Let me know if you run into any issues.

With the serious part out of the way, I hope you enjoy the new version with improved character sprites. AimlessArt went above and beyond my expectations with the new costumes. I wasn't expecting him to replace every single article of clothing, including underwear. 

Changelog:

Next combat illustration

Vote for the next combat skill you'd like to see get an illustration in Night Games.

[Public Release] Night Games - The Update With Sprites

The most recent update is now publicly available. 

This is the first update since taking a break from Night Games last summer. It's also probably the biggest update since "The Big Update" a couple years back. Make sure you download it if you have even just a passing interest in the game (you probably have more than that if you're on the Patreon page).

P.S. The above image was requested as part of the $20 tier reward. You'll see it when Angel Enthralls you with her whisper. 

Illustrated Summon Poll Complete

I put up a poll a while back for which Summonable Pets to have illustrated. The Female Imp won by a comfortable margin and AimlessArt drew this sinister beauty for us. The art for the 2nd place image is currently in progress.

On the subject of polls, you may have noticed I added a new $3 tier. I've been meaning to add that tier for a long time and I've also wanted to get a broader voting population on these polls, so I moved that reward to the new $3 tier.

I'll done some polls for other ...

[Patron Release] Night Games - That Update With Sprites

The new release for Night Games is now available for Patreon supporters, featuring AimlessArt's excellent sprites. The whole game has received a substantial visual overhaul in fact. The full changelog is below and the update is attached to this post.

Obviously there are now sprites for the 4 main girls

Changed Look and Feel to Nimbus

Implemented the keyboard shortcuts based on Nergantre's and dndw's mod.

Implemented skill button filtering, again based on the design in the mod...

More Character Sprites

We're quickly approaching the release of a major update for Night Games. AimlessArt has completed the character sprites for Cassie and Jewel. This completes the four starting girls. Sprites for unlockable characters will probably be added in later updates, but we're going to focus on event and combat skill art for a while.

Summoning Art

Which of the summonable pets would you most like to see art drawn for?

Character Sprites

The first thing AimlessArt suggested when he joined was replacing the character portraits with full-body sprites. Now, I'm a big fan of Nergantre's portraits, but I'm glad we're making the change. These sprites look great and as you would hope, they lose clothing as you undress your opponent. This gives you a way to instantly see your opponent's state of dress.

Angel and Mara are on display above. I'll have more characters to show you before the next release.

Back in top gear

Hello patrons,

After a long break, we're fully back up to full productivity on Night Games. I say we, because as those of you who check my blog regularly know, AimlessArt has joined the team and is producing high quality artwork. You may have seen a less-nipply version of this Angel picture in the banner. 

We're trying to make this next update a huge one, so there will be some more time yet before it's ready to release. Among other things, we're currently working on major GUI improv...

Team Strip Match Release

Team Strip Match is ready for public release. Some of you played the early prototype, but it's become a lot more polished since then.

Seven Minutes in Heaven new character preview

Hello patrons,

People tell me I don't do enough previews. As I've previously mentioned, I'm working on a new character for Seven Minutes in Heaven, but currently you guys just know from the poll that she's a shy girl. I figured the introduction to her route would be a pretty good preview. Enjoy.

You look up at Sylvie, who blushes bright red when you meet her gaze. She's a nice g...

Not Quite Mara Time - Bugfix 2

I'm still taking a break from Night Games, but some issues were brought to my attention. I wanted to get a bugfix out as soon as possible.

Changelog:

Increased Flash Step's speed to 99 so it will always activate first
Fixed an issue where prizes were not calculating properly.
Tickle now continues to do temptation damage after the Mara sex upgrade.
Tickle can cause orgasms with the Mara sex upgrade
Added a sanity check to all damage calculations to make sure skills never...

Future Plans

I wanted to make a quick post about what people can expect from this site in the near future.

I put up a poll for my $5+ patrons to vote on the next girl to add to Seven Minutes in Heaven, like I usually do for upcoming Night Games content. The most votes by far went to the girl I was previously planning to add, so I already have some initial framework done for her. That should go smoothly.

I've been working on Team Strip Match in the meantime, but I've hit a significant block. I n...
