Shelter v38 Devlog May 9th

Awoo mates!

Just wanted to keep you up-to-date with my current progress on the build v38.

After that last devlog I couldn't work for over a week because of travelling and jetlagging and stuff but I've been hard at work as soon as I settled down. I finished drawing and coding visuals for yet another big part of this update. Check out the screenshots if you like for some teasers. There's a whole bunch of step by step little animations across the flow of the story that the still scre...

Awoo mates!

I thought I'd get you up to date on Shelter's next build's development and my life and stuff.

I released a teaser of the next build for the lvl3 Patrons but I'm still going to be working through May to finish it. This is an important build, concluding the chunkiest story path yet, and I want to make it as epic as I can. This is the most "visual" finale of all the finales so far in this visual novel. I'm experimenting with a new style, simple animations and ...

Shelter v38 first teaser test build

https://rausmutt.itch.io/shelter-test-april-v38/patreon-access

Awoo mates!

I got you a teaser of what's coming for v38, in Max's route finale! I have the whole script written up and already coded, but there are a whole lot of visuals I still want to add. You'll see what I mean when you play it.

This build covers the first 4k words of script out of like 15k. I'll get the r...

Happy Easter! Progress report!

Awoo mates! I hope you're having a nice relaxed Easter day!

I thought I'd share my current progress on v38 Shelter build. I'm currently at 10k words and I'll be finishing the script during the incoming week. Right now I'm at the spot where the cannon is about to shoot, so pretty much the end. After that I'll need to do the non-porn talk with Max before the epilogue, as well as the bluebally introduction to his celebratory porn. Gonna be fun!

After I'm done writing I'll hav...

Which dogs should get their discord stickers made first?

Awoo mates!

I met an artist with a cute artstyle who's interested in drawing stickers for our Discord server. The first few most voted ones will get their stickers drawn based on the ideas we are yet to discuss on the server with everyone after the poll is concluded.

Vote for however many boys you like. LVL4 Patrons votes will be counted double.

Your Dog,
Raus Vuffski

Poll results - Max Porn

Okay, so I got the results! The points in the original poll post came to:
1 - One-on-one uwu time with Max - 40 votes
2 - Orgy with the Eternal Winter Knots - 41 votes
3 - Bottom Burry - 15

So oh my dog, the orgy won only by one point!
...BUT!! I forgot that the LVL4 patrons were allowed an additional vote! So I grabbed the results table where I saw who voted for what and I doubled those top patrons votes. The final results surprised me...

...by the orgy still winnin...

Max's Path Celebratory Porn Poll

Awoo mates!

Max's path is drawing to a close, so it would be good to decide on the content of the update that comes after the tragic barkstory is concluded. Like with the other two, this is one of two porn variants planned to be finished for this path. The other one will be worked on at a random month in the future.

Related to that, if you want me to work on Burry's bottom sex scene variant instead I can do that too! That will delay Max's epilogue for a month but that's an option....

January 2024 Devlog

Awoo mates!

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year! Mine were relaxing and lovely <3 I thought I'd give you an update on the progress on stuff.

The work on Max's update is going absolutely amazing and I can't wait to show it to you as soon as it's ready! I'm currently at 9k new words of script, and while that's quite a bunch there's still a lot I want to go through plus I'll need to draw a special CG for it, so I'm definitely gonna finish and share it in February. I hop...

SheltRPG Character Design - Blue

The fourth hero, heavily inspired by one of the healer characters from this video:

SheltRPG Character Design - Green

Awoo! The third member of our team of heroes from the Shelter side project (codename SheltRPG).
As you can see he went through a huge redesign already and I'm still figuring him out, so don't be surprised if he ends up completely different in the actual game. That's true about all of the characters though!
Rodents are cute. Go play Small Saga!

Awoo! Our Christmas update is here!

Of course, the content itself isn't related to Christmas at all. It's not some unrelated side story either. I'm calling it a Christmas Special only because it's coming out on this special day, and the content itself is pretty special. It's a scene that was supp...

Awoo! A new character design for a Shelter-related side project (temporary codename "SheltRPG").
I love lions. Lions are my favorite animal of them all and I haven't drawn one in years!

Progress Update

Awoo mates!

Sorry the new build still isn't ready yet! Usually, I'd just continue my work and release it when it's done without bothering you with devlog posts, but even after all this time I'm still a bit far from finishing it so I thought I better at least let you know what I've been up to this last month.

My current new script word count is at 7000. I had a pretty tricky scene to write and I went through one big rewrite, but I'm very satisfied now! Now I only have to write two ...

Next Update Progress Report

Awoo mates!

I haven't posted anything on Patreon since the last update 6th of May, so I thought I'd let you know my current status in this post.

I'm still in the USA and May was extremely eventful for me, to a degree I should have anticipated but I'm still surprised how severely it delayed my work on the new content. A lot of that will be helpful for Shelter in the future, while some were just lost time due to traveling and falling sick.

To summarize, I was stayin...
