Dev Questions

Bea here! We've been doing a thing on twitter for a little bit that I've realized hasn't been directly announced here!

Long story short: We've started taking question suggestions from the public for the tabletop version of the dragon dares card game, and in return we're answering some of the questions coming in, complete with cute little sketch comics!

I don't wanna spam this account with those answers, so you'll need to keep an eye on View Post

2020 Yearly Recap, Future Plans

Hey, Bea here! We've just closed out of our second year this patreon's existence, and there is a lot to discuss.

2020.

I'll be frank for a minute: 2020 was not a very productive year for anyone. The world was on fire, and the United States burned particularly hot. The pandemic, the associated economic crash, (completely justified) civil unrest, and ascendant fascism took a psychological and practical toll on almost everyone. On a personal level, Phoe and I braved a difficult mov...

Meet the Devs!

Bea here! I've come to realize that despite our little project's staff having grown and changed a bit from its inception we really haven't been properly introduced! So, I got the dev team together for a chat, and we all wrote up little profiles!

Without further delay:

Bea is a perpetually exhausted dragon who gets naked for money. She's too stubborn to give up on things she's not good at,...

3 Dragon Dares Music Tracks!

Choo has been hard at work producing music for some of our upcoming patreon features, and we feel that they've been doing  a VERY impressive job! 

We're extremely excited to see these in use!

Editing Patreon for Policy Compliance

Heads up, we're deleting any public images with visible (even implied) nudity.  It's come to our attention that Patreon's policies forbid that stuff, so we're left with no choice.  

Check out the twitter for any uncensored public pinups going forward. Everything else should continue as normal. Send any complaints directly to patreon for implementing this increasingly hard-to-follow nonsense.

(note: to make this absolutely clear, there will be NO CHANGES to patron-only co...

May Update!

It's been quieter around here than it should be for the last few months, but we're back! Given that we've sort of failed to deliver on some of our obligations, a short explanation is in order.

Since the last update, we've moved to a new place, lived in quarantine, merged businesses, and taken a lot of new commissions to cover the first two. In the whirlwind of dealing with all that, keeping the patreon updated proved a challenge.

Regardless, we apologize if this has damaged anyone...

New patreon feature added!

We've decided to start streaming progress on the game on the regular! We'll be sending along a link to grant access to the private via patreon's messaging system soon, and we'll announce when we start streaming over on the twitter account! 

See y'all there!

February Update #1

Well, a month or so has passed since the last status update and a month of progress has indeed been made! There isn't much to show yet, but things are still shaping up nicely!

Data Architecture 

This stuff is so technical that it'd be hard to actually articulate, but we'll make the attempt! More-or-less, we've been working on the underlying framework that'll allow the game to talk to itself.

It makes sure that it knows what to do, and when to do it. An...

January Update #1

Progress over the last week or so has been swift! We're rapidly passing out of prototyping and moving into Alpha, so pretty soon there'll be some seriously impressive stuff to show off!

Most of our time thus far has been dedicated to laying groundwork, and the extra effort has been seriously paying off.

Animation

For one, the basic framework for the Global Animation System has been implemented! This underlying system will handle moving character sprites in and out of frame...

2019 Project Recap!

2019 has come and gone, and what a year it’s been!

We’ve seen many highs and lows this year, and we’re looking forward to a bright and exciting year for Dragon Dares in 2020. The game is coming along nicely, even if production hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Before we can move on, though: We want to take a few minutes to talk about what we’ve been doing, and what we've learned over the past year. 

It’s time for a brief check-in. We want you to understand ...

November Pinup Poll


For the month of November, we add two new possible subjects for lewd pinups!

Bea - A mysterious benefactor who may or may not have been involved in inventing a wildly popular card game.

Pax - A nonbinary icon, and the protagonist of our story. They don't quite know where they're going or where they want to go, but they're excited to find out! D...

September Pinup Poll

For September's vote, we add two new candidates for lascivious pinups!   

Ariel - Local Queen Bee and owner of the local game/comics shop, as well as a fellow kobold, ex-employer, and partner-in-crime to PC. 

Stella - Independently wealthy and somewhat stuck-up owner of the local antique shop/cafe, as well ...

Pinup #4: Allie leaves Aria Hanging

It'd seem that crawling into the giant crane machine to try to get a prize that she kept missing wasn't a good idea for Aria. Asking Allie to get her back out using the crane was an even worse one.

August Pinup Vote

It's that time of the month again! The time when we decide which of these cuties is getting a lewd pinup.  Voting ends on Tuesday July 9th, so all you patrons make sure you get your votes in before then!

Pinup #3: Sophie's Skirt Snag

Sophie, Rabbit Rock's librarian and head of the local historical society  maaaay have hit a little snag while trying to get a book for somebody.  Gotta be careful about those loose nails! 

Narrow miss on those panties...

Also, I'll be trying to get another pinup out towards the middle of the month, and if it works out we may start getting two pinups monthly instead of one! ;3

Disabling Monthly Updates, Pinups starting early!

May was a pretty rough month for making progress on Dragon Dares, and the next few months may not be easier.  As long as I need to take on lots of commission work, I have decided to disable monthly updates.

In the meantime, I'll keep updating the Discord Server with new content as we produce it, and try to hold discussions regularly.

There is some good news though! First off, I'm enabling monthly pinups starting from June onward. Expect a poll of who to feature in that to g...

Status Update #2: April 2019

If last month was a big month for Dragon Dares and associated projects, this month was a small one. Eventful, but small. 

While I'll usually stick to specific progress on projects for this patreon, my personal and professional lives are so intermingled enough right now that I'll need to explain one for the other make sense. So bear with me.

Because of the nature of the progress and lack of polished assets, this post won't have as many cool pictures and gifs as the last one. S...

Status update #1: March 2019

Hello friends, fans, and patrons! Welcome to the first monthly update! This month has been... interesting. 

SUMMARY

Over the course of the month we've seen the following:

  • Dragon Dates went digital via Tabletop Simulator! But playtesting found serious problems, so the rules are being reworked. Lots of new cards and mechanics.
  • We've started producing the first visual novel for this patreon. Because we're still developing the rules for Dragon Dates, it won...

We're live! First progress update coming soon!

Hey, thanks to everybody that's become a patron! I look forward to having this adventure with all of you!

I've managed to make some progress here and there between the time I wrote the initial patreon page and when I got it up, so I've got some things I can start to show off! 

Keep an eye on this space, and on the discord server, because I'll be compiling some materials to show off and discussing immediate development plans soon!
