Upcoming additions and upgrades to the PATHS

Awoo mates!

I've been working hard on implementing all of the nodes and branches in the Paths, and now I can announce with joy that I'm getting close to achieving that! As soon as I get everything in, I'll share a test build for LVL3 Patrons with all the additions and upgrades.

One of those upgrades is the functionality of zooming the whole thing in and out with a mouse wheel or touch screen! I didn't think it would be possible with all those hundreds of elements and animations, ...

Shelter v43 Build

Awoo mates!

Finally new build, covering the "Bottom Burry" sex option we were still missing. This new update contains:

• roughly 7000 words of a new script

• two new CG sets, one of them turned into a simple animation

• multiple types of Chinese translation options by Shangxi and Koshiro, including Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, with a choice...

January 2025 Devlog

Awoo mates!

I thought I'd get you up-to-date on my work and life and stuff. It's been exceptionally busy few weeks irl for me, and while all of it is important stuff that's going to benefit me and my projects greatly in 2025, I'm still in the middle of work on the newest Shelter build, which I'm going to release it in February in the end.

I currently have roughly 4000 words of new script, a set of Burry's bondage pictures which I posted recently, and I also extended the Paths to c...

Amoo!

We've been doing some fantastic progress on our mysterious side project and I wanted to start sharing with you videos and more assets, but I realized I still haven't made Patreon posts about Balakhi and Falos, so have the Bison!
Conceptually, he's a gentle giant brawler, with an unmoving stubborn side. He has a spiritual and intimate approach to magic, the World, and the people. I...

Burry Bottom CG WiPs

To spice things up on their celebratory hecking, Burry and Luke decide to try a few kinks. Gonna be a fun one <3

December 2024 Devlog (also, Patreon Gifts enabled!)

Awoo mates!

I hope you're all excited for the upcoming Christmas time! I'm currently on the opposite side of the globe from my family so I won't be celebrating it in our traditional way, but I'm still looking forward to rest a little. I finished a test update of Shelter for lvl3s today and I decided to take the rest of the month off to chill on Christmas and New Year.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter might have seen I was in the hospital a bit over a week ago. I had a small o...

Shelter v43's content poll results

The poll is over and I also counted the extra votes from LVL4's! Seven out of ten voted.
With all of those extra votes included, the winner of the poll is...
...still Burry, at the total of 43 votes!

Max and the dream scene ended up tied, surprisingly.

Thank you for participating, everyone! I hope you'll like what's coming soon <3

ACTUAL v43 content poll

Awooo!

Guys, guys! Oh my dog! I mean, I kinda knew that you all would be excited to see more of Alon's very, very tragic barkstory (especially right after seeing what just happened!), but I didn't expect you all to want it so much! I mean, I kinda did, but…

As I mentioned at the end of the build, it would be REALLY nice to give it a little time to prepare all the assets for the continuation of Alon's story. I have some exciting art on the to-do list and a piece of music that I t...

What should Shelter v43 build be about?

Awoo!

As I mentioned in the ending credits in the latest Shelter build, I'd like to take the shortest break from Alon's backstory and dedicate the next build to completing one of the missing scenes from the other parts of the game instead. We don't have that many of them left. That way I'll be able to take it a little easier for Christmas/New Year, and we will have more time to compose and polish new music for the finale of Alon's childhood story.

Vote for as many as you like, onl...

Shelter v42 Build - The Kidnapping Order

Awoo mates!

Shelter build v42 finally here! It took a while and it's basically a length of two updates, but I really wanted to wrap it up at a specific moment this time. New stuff include:

• way over 18000 words of script, not counting a bunch of side gimmick text

• a bunch of new sprites, silhouettes and art in general

• PATHS extended to the end of MID-AFTE...

Awoo!

Alon and the [spoiler] WiPs

I think this is the first time we're officially getting a non-Canine animalperson fully illustrated in Shelter!
Once I finish this one, I'll only need to make a few sprites and I'll be ready to share the newest test build with all the script in <3

October 2024 Devlog

Awoo everyone! Raus here.

I thought I'd get you up-to-date on the progress of Shelter's next build and on my life and stuff in general.

So far I wrote 7000 words of the new story script, updated PATHS to cover all the content up to the end of MID-AFTERNOON (increasing the number of nodes from, iirc, 44 to around 140), and I also finally designed and implemented my own custom quickmenu icons set for the normal gameplay. I'm talking about all the icons for menu, hide, back, autoplay...

Shelter technical update v41.2 - more PATHS and new UI

https://rausmutt.itch.io/shelter-test-v41/patreon-access

Awoo!

I'm bringing you a small little update with more PATHS sections (something like 130 total nodes now after you unlock everything) and new quickmenu controls mid-game, different on PC and mobile. See both and tell me on discord lvl3-test-builds what you think.

There's no new story content in this one, so just...

Shelter v41 Devlog

Awoo mates!

How are you doing? I thought I'd let you know how the work on the build v41 is going and stuff.

I'm currently at over 9000 words of script, I coded the fully functional in-game interactive unlockable flowchart (that I call Paths), we got a wonderful new music piece prepared with Hugh and I did a bunch of extra work in places you won't see for now. Also, I spent the past few days coding Shelter's biggest minigame, which I'd love to drop for LVL3s to extensively test lat...

Shelter v38's Final Devlog (with video)

Awoo!

We're in the final ten days of May and I still have one final duel to illustrate, so I thought I'd least show you some of the progress I've made, in case I still don't manage to release the build by the end of the month. This is an update with so much time, work, assets, experimentation and soul put into it I would ideally cut it in half and release it in parts, but I promised that the build v38 would wrap up Max's story and that's what you're gonna get.

Those little ...
