Hey guys!
Sorry about the late progress report. After my oral presentation which went swimmingly (yay), one of my wife's friends randomly stopped by, so we were entertaining him with MST3K episodes that he hasn't seen before. Anyway, just two classes left this semester, both of which will be finished by this weekend!! Then I'll have two full weeks of working on the game without school interruption. Hurrah! Now then, let's get on with the show!

Hey everyone!
I'd like to introduce a brand new patron fresh out of the oven! I'd pleased to announce, Dominus! Please give him...or possibly her...a very warm welcome to our Apoca-Community if you have the time! I'm sure he or she, would appreciate it! I'd also like to thank all of you again for your continued support especially during this particular time. It's finals week starting Monday so there are a myriad of projects and papers to do, but in another week I'll have a lot more time ...

Hey guys :)
I hope all of you are doing well. I've been doing fine over here myself. Classes are finally winding down this semester, which quite honestly has been the hardest semester of college yet, luckily it's my last official semester which means I can actually breathe a little bit for a while. If I pass my student teaching and my Praxis by fall, I'll be done by the end of this year! Then if the game is making a decent amount of money by January, I'll have ALL semester to focus on it...

Hey everyone!

Welcome you two, we're glad to have you on-board! I should be sending out your personalized thank you emails right after this message, so keep an eye out for them! Also, I encourage both of you to participate in discussions and posts or pol...

This GofundMe is for one of my oldest patrons, Jason. His wife Paola is very, very ill with a terminal cancer and he wants to do something incredible for her before she passes. Please, strongly consider giving a little and funding this very special trip for them while she can still enjoy it, and please spread the word! Thank you very much for your time. I have this link...

Hey guys! I would like to introduce two new patrons that have been thrown into our lovely concoction; meet Nickolai and Rincet. First off, let me apologize for those horrible nicknames I gave you, especially you Rincet---I must be off my game cause I sat here for like 10 minutes trying to come up with something more clever than Roller Killer.....Sounds like a Mega Man villain or something. @_@ I must be tired. Anyway! Let me be the first to say you are both very welcome to our Apoca-Community, a...

Hey guys! I like to introduce a brand new patron to the Apoca-Community; Chantz! I have to say I'm particularly proud of the nickname too. I'm so clever *huc huc huc*! But really, I wanted to offer him a warm, sincere welcome, and I hope some of you do as well and help him feel part of the group! I also encourage you to participate in any polls or posts and generally share your thoughts and feelings about things that I say or that others say if you like. The more people who are actively providin...

Hey everyone, I'm excited to introduce you all to a few brand new patrons, Charles and H! H is the cousin of Q from James Bond and Charles, rumor has it, is really named Charles the Chiller! *gasp*! Kidding. I mean, I don't know for certain that H is the cousin of Q, or if Charles is truly a chiller, but if either of them are as crazy as the rest of you, they'll fit in nicely with our little Apoca-Community! So please give them a very warm welcome and help them feel like part of the group :) Hop...

I posted a Hotfix just now with the following changes....
- Fixed not being able to give the Dark Brown Box to Rold. Apparently, I marked the wrong box! Oops! I also needed to change up the coding of the box considering the way the Duplication System works. You now need to “Give” the box to Rold once you return to the room. I’ve tested it a few times and it works perfectly now.
- I eliminated some old script which read, "Your pockets are absolutely full! Try putt...

Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce four new patrons to our growing community and once again, I'm very happy to have inspired such patronage in all of you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your generosity in acknowledgement to my work on the game.

I should be sending out your thank you email sometime tomorrow Wonderllama as I am dead-tired from doing the new release today.

Hey all!
So here's the update! I apologize about the delay but I really wanted that error fixed before I did the release. I HATE bugs if you didn't already know that about me, and having such a blatant one made me feel inadequate xD not to mention I don't like looking lazy especially because of how hard I work on the game day in and day out. So that was my reasoning behind that! With that said, I'll just jump into things because there is a lot to cover! I hope you all enjoy this release....

Hey guys! We have two new patrons shipped fresh from across the globe; Rodney and Sazafrazz (LOL)! Their packaging is a little damaged, but I'm not complaining ^_^ Please take a moment out of your day and welcome them nonetheless and help them feel at home in our Apoca-Community. Essentially, this means more eyes will be on the game which I am VERY thankful for, and on top of that, it means even more bugs will be squished. Take that filthy bugs!! Yay! I'm very excited if you couldn't tell. Anywa...

So since this little problem has turned out to be a pain in my ass and I haven't had time to work on it today because my Praxis Exam is in the morning and I've been studying, I'm moving the update to the 24th. Sooner if I can fix the issue. Until then, I'll just keep working on the problem and the rest of the game. I'll keep you guys posted though. As soon as the problem is fixed the new public version will be out. Wish me luck tomorrow.

So there isn't going to be an update today as I have ONE more tiny error to fix which is preventing the player from moving at the moment in specific rooms. But let's try again tomorrow to see if I can get it all sorted out. Stay tuned! ^_^ Sorry about the late update and any inconvenience this has caused!

UPDATE: Sorry, no update again today (18APR17), although I'm one step closer to figuring out what the last problem is. We'll try again...

Hey guys! I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Easter in whatever way that you celebrate it. Don't forget to call your families today and/or visit with them, and/or spend some quality time with them as it's incredibly important to do so. Who knows? Maybe you will make their day! ^_^ Also, if you decide to do any drinking today, please be safe about it and mind other drivers on the road. That's all for now! I hope all of you have a fantastic day! ...

Please say hello, or hola or guttentag or bonjour or kon'nichiwa (or whatever your nationality's equivalent is) if you happen to have a second, so that he feels welcome to the group! I know I'm excited to have another pair of eyes on the game because it's getting harder and harder for me to test things that I implement or spell/grammar check, especially now that the end of the semester is wind...

Hey all!
There won't be much to this progress report simply because all I've been doing is writing a ton and setting up asethetic appeal in the new Winding Wood room. I've also been bug fixing a little and I've modified the way I'm going to start presenting the ChangeLog. Instead of one gigantic mess of things I've done. I will instead, break it into categories for easier reading. Anyway! We're about to eat, so I'll get on with it ^_^

Hey all!
I just wanted some feedback on the length of Pregnancy since there are about 5-6 turns left to finish and there are exactly 1000 turns planned. But I was wondering if you guys liked that amount, or if you'd prefer shorter pregnancies. Keep in mind picking up/dropping, using items all count as turns too, so it'll go by faster than you think. Anyway, voice your opinion below. ^_^
I'd love to hear your thoughts as well in the comments if you have the time!

Hey everyone! I would like you all to meet our newest Patron, Net. Please welcome him or her to our little Apoca-Community and help him or her feel right at home among you all! As I always say, the more people that are supporting the game, the stronger our pool of knowledge becomes and the better the game becomes in general because it's another pair of eyes on it---so with that said, you can count on the fact that because of him or her we are just a little bit stronger and maybe even a little bi...

I just wanted to check in with all of you and make sure you're happy and taken care of! :D I remembered from the poll (about me as a dev) that some of you mentioned I could be better at communicating, or could improve my communication. If you have any suggestions about that, I'd love to hear them so I can improve your experience and make you feel better connected to me and the game's development.

Hey everyone!
No, you aren't dreaming, it really is the Patron Beta v0.9.3A release today, weee! Unfortunately, it's a bit of a mess since I'm working on 10 million things at once. On top of that, school and spring break have kept me from getting significant progress done (which I mentioned would probably happen at the beginning of the month), but although there isn't a lot of quantity, there is definitely a lot of quality, which is what m...

Hey everyone!
As you've read in the title there won't be a Patron Beta today! This is mostly because of two very slight things that need fixing before I can release it. One of them may be a problem with Quest that will have to be troubleshooted (looking into it) and the other is that I'm not quite done with the Winding Wood room. I'll explain below.

Hey everyone!
It's progress report time! But don't expect too much this time around, the things I've been working on in the game are very large singular scripts so those take time to write and to properly organize. On top of all that, teacher's are really coming down hard with the workload before Spring Break starts so I've been up to my ass in papers and projects. With that said, let's get started on the progress report!

It's progress report time *blows party horn thing*! Sorry about how late it is tonight but I was in Practicum all day doing teaching practice, then I welcomed a new Patron, changed the rewards, changed the spreadsheet I used, transferred all the information over to that, answered questions in all the places I post the game and just got home from the store! Whew! Busy day @_@ Anyway, I'll go ahead and get started!

Hey guys! I had a question about the new Character Creator that I wanted to run by you as this particular subject is important to me and to the immersion of the game. I discussed this with a few patrons on Skype many, many months ago, but there was no official conclusion. It's time to remedy that! So the discussion's focus was about whether or not stats should be visible when creating your character. Seems like a no brainer, right? Well, I'm leaning toward hiding the stats and it's for ...
