SHELTER v12 Build

Awoo, mates! March update here!

It was a pretty fun one. Plus it's amazing to finally push the story further into the night, even if it's all drinking shenanigans! At the end, we reach the last hour before Skies Ablaze!

New stuff:

• over 14k words of new script
  
• two new weapons pics (Rune's afternoon climax shows Luke's new sword now)
  
• a few alternative event versions for the old backgrounds and items
  
• one new CG
  
• the r...

Shelter v12 soundless test build

Awoo, mates! Soundless test version of the March update here!

It was a pretty fun one. Plus it's amazing to finally push the story further into the night, even if it's all a drinking hangout! At the end, we reach the last hour before Skies Ablaze!

I haven't updated the TO DO list and the gallery yet, so just know that there is a special secret scene available only if you complete the Teak's gem quest and recruit Alon to the baths in the same playthrough. Read below to find out how...

Burry/Rune Mlem

One of the new pics for the upcoming update. The bathing, drinking and drinking games while waiting for the Turret Time :3

What would you like Thistle to write next?

Unsurprisingly, Thistle's literary work has got a lot of new fans, and there's clearly a demand for more.

In case there was to be written more, what kind of story would you like? A sequel to Hairless Temptation or a brand new story?

Me... I mean, Thistle, could write that from time to time in the days of his greatest inspiration, and it could possibly be added as an additional bonus reward for finding the hidden Alons or something.

There's no strict end date for this poll si...

Changes to LVL3 tier

Awoo, mates! There are changes I’m implementing for our tiers system!

$3 and $5 tiers are left unchanged.

I’m removing the $15 tier and splitting it into two new ones.

Tier $10 has all of the stuff that our $15 tier had, except for the main menu portrait credit thing. So it gives you the most up to date Shelter build, the wips, the right to vote in polls, the access to the up to date story choices flowchart guide, and also the access to the beta builds, released at least...

SHELTER v11 Build

Awoo!

Another month, another doggo update! I hope you're in a mood for some dongs because, oh boy. Remember a poll a few months ago about a porny scene to be written by Sleth? It's in! :3

New content:

> Over 13k words of new script, mainly a dream scene written by Sleth, featuring both Rune and Alon. To unlock it, reach the end of Rune's Afternoon and you'll get a notification. Go back to the Mid Afternoon choice (the one where you can join Alon at the table) and choose "...

Shelter v11 beta build

Rune Moon 3/4 angle sprites set

An alternative sprite pose for Rune, which will require its own set of facial expressions later on. This angle shows his fluff better <3

Suggest me quotes for a drinking game in Shelter.

Awoo! The hangout at the baths with Burry, Rune, Max and Luke keeps going and with it, a lot of drinking games!
One of those games I plan is "Never Have I Ever".
Basically, one person makes a statement, for example "Never have I ever did anything lewd in a public space" and all the players who DID do the thing drink a shot, maybe share relevant stories. Then, another person makes a statement.

Go to #lvl3-test-builds channel on our Discord and suggest me some statements! I may be s...

Should we open our Discord den to the public?

Awoo there!

As you know, access to our den has been limited only to Patrons so far. However, I've been talking around with creators owning publicly open VN discord servers and apparently that's not necessarily a bad option. I'd like to see if that would be something you'd want to do or not necessarily.

We'd have more people and the place would probably be more active, which may be a good thing or not necessarily so. We'd need to be stricter with our moderation to keep it a pleasan...

SHELTER v.10 build

Awoo~! What a month it was! I thought it would be a small update but it just kept growing and growing. I finished Rune's Afternoon, along with that duel with Teak.

New content:
> close to 14k words of script
> an illustration of fighting Teak in normal and Mana vision
> an illustration for a flashback and a sunset view background
> a new musical piece, composed by our new music guy - Terrance!
>one new Darkest Corner
>a bit nicer TO DO list.  N...

90% finished Shelter Test Build v10 (100% finished tomorrow for all Patrons)

Awoo~! What a month it was! I thought it would be a small update but it just kept growing and growing. I finished Rune's Afternoon, along with that duel with Teak. There's most of the music in but no sound effects yet and the gallery isn't updated. Everything else should be in place.

Teak Pic finished

For the upcoming update by the end of this month!

Last night I took a break from writing and finally finished it. I hope you'll like this duel scene!

Teak Pic (super angery) wip

Pic of a Teak for the next update. Grab your gear and prepare to duel! xU

Shelter Build v9

Finally, new update! Thank you so much for your patience, everyone!

It's a big, chunky update with 22k word count in new script (beating the previous record of 16k in Burry's update) and a bunch of new artwork! And TWELVE new dogs! :D I hope you'll enjoy it!

The main event in this update is Rune's Afternoon hangout. I recommend playing that after completing Burry's, because Burry's route unlocks a few things in Rune's.

You get an extra event if you have the Mysterious Gem fr...

Rune Moon the Blade Master

Shelter v9 test build (soundless)

Finally, I can share it with you!

Like usual, this test build is soundless and I'm going to start putting audio now. Everything else, visuals and script should be in working order. Also, I have to update the gallery but I'm going to do that as the very last thing.

I recommend playing Rune's route after Burry's, because Burry's route unlocks a few things in Rune's.

You get an extra event if you have the Mysterious Gem from Burry in your possession in Rune's Afternoon.

Announcements for December!

Awoo mates!

I have a few important announcements! Kinda my development log.

1) November has been a super productive month, with the biggest Shelter script update to date (22k words, beating the previous record of 16k) and a whole bunch of art. Because it's so big and I'm making everything alone, this month's update is going to be released in the first week of December. When the update is up and you can't support me at that time, send me a DM and I'll send you the build for your sy...
