Happy Holidays

I’m out of town right now but I wanted to thank everyone for their support and wish you all peace and happiness.


Wherever you are and whatever you’re looking for I’m happy to be making games, stories and artwork that you enjoy. I also could not do this without your support and Saturnxart’s fantastic artwork.

Happy Holidays

As I prepare for the holidays I'm reminded of how much busier things are this year than last.  I'm thankful for that and I'm thankful for your support!

I'm not sure if I'm going to have an update for Zenofae Gene before New Year's Eve but I think I want to take my time to put out something much nicer for you all in January, rather than a buggy rush job.

I don't want to leave you all in the cold for the holidays so I hope you will enjoy the first part of a periodical: The Lege...

The Legend of Sivrit and Goldenrune's Revenge, 1

 

Chapter 1

The realm of Lanthis lay sprawled across several dramatically arching mountain ranges, the deep fertile valleys giving way to rolling hills further than the eye could see.  Beyond that, were oceans teaming with merchant vessels sailing upon the often turbulent and treacherous waters of the Valsic Sea.  The borders of the realm ended at the icy Valsic Sea to the North, the Kingdom of Orianne to the West, the Forests of Mystes to the East and to the South ...

December Goals v.2

I've completed the CNT update and the artwork poll, now I'm beginning to focus on Zenofae.  There isn't a lot of time left in the month and but I want to give you a Zenofae update before the new year.

One other thing... is a story that popped into my head and it was so good I didn't want to let it fade back into the mists.  Originally I thought it would be an amazing premise for a game but having two games already I thought I would just write out a few ideas and hold onto it.<...

CNT University Public Release v0.04a

 And here is something nice from Saturnxart for the holidays, the Wet T-Shirt contest image.!

I've combed through everything and I've corrected the other bugs I found in the game.  I apologize but I have to ask you to please start a new game (just to ensure you don't carry any  bad data with you).

December Update

 

CNT University!

- Thanks to Darkstar666 for their thorough look into the progression of CNT they have informed me of many more bugs for me to work on and fix.  If you are experiencing troubles playing the game or with images remaining that should disappear then DM me with the info to ensure I can smooth that out for the bug fix version.

-CNT Tattoo and Piercing artwork poll

-ZFG artwork replace (Starting with face artwork for main characters)

Instructions for CNT University! Save Game

I think this should help-- download plugin required because of a bad default save folder for RPG Maker on Mac OS!

CNT University! Update

I'm still not ready to release the next version and I consider myself one day past my due date set for November.  There are two primary factors behind this slide:  I've been writing a greater amount of material into the games (I don't have a word count because I don't keep copies of dialog on a word processor) and I've been saddled with responsibilities for Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for all of your support and I will be moving the release date to the 27th at the latest. &nbs...

Thank You!

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of my patrons.  We've hit our first goal, and I'm very excited to continue working on the base models of the first three transformations for Zenofae Gene!

My work on CNT is progressing well, but there is still so much more to do.  This will also be premium content for the $3 tier which will eventually trickle down to the public.

With out your help, none of this would be possible!

CNT University! Update

Where to begin?


I’ve added the gym shower, the Period Plus stations, the Pussy Parlor masturbation room (in the back of Wet Heat Apparel), the Ink Pot and I have added class transitions where you can choose to go directly to your next class, go to the bathroom or listen to gossip.


Next I’m adding the Library (it’s probably a good idea to be friends with Jojo) and public humiliation at the hands of Amber, the season’s first Wet T-Shirt contest and a c...

October update

As indicated in previous posts I'm currently working on opening up CNT to be more of a sand box.  I haven't completely done that for the class system, but you now have options as you leave each location to travel directly to your next location, got to the bathroom or listen in on gossip.  I think it's a fun way to transition through the classes, I'm positive there are going to be plenty of glitches that occur from that...

Additionally I've been working on building more NPCs to...

October Progress Report

 

The first matter of business is regarding Zenofae Gene.  Earlier I issued a poll for the $3 tier and up to change the nature of the artwork from hand drawn art by Inknox to 3d art created by myself and the results are in favor of 3d art.  This is because Inknox has been out of contact following health issues that hospitalized them.  I don't know the severity of their situation but the earlier vote in July to give them immediate support by requestin...

Zenofae Gene Lurking Agenda

I'm almost complete with the new Prologue portion of the game.  Once that is complete there is going to be some 'redecorating'.  I'm not talking about the art;  I'm changing the internal systems of how the Breeder or Champion paths are determined, possibly a little degree of how skills are gained as Cherri and delving into the combat system in the hopes of fixing some qualities that don't make sense.

What this means for players:  a full restart, at f...

Zenofae Gene Update

Well... here we are.  Almost mid September... let me see... plans for Zenofae Gene:

I've been thinking about the different paths and some of the Cherri content that people wanted to have expanded so I've decided to take a rather ambitious and macro approach.  

Starting with the beginning of the game Commander Hooker lands on Far Eden and does NOT find an aggressive xeno life form!  He is incensed that the colonists baited him there to clean up mere gangsters.  ...

More CNT Development Conversations...

This is a link and a repost of my response to a conversation regarding the direction I've taken with CNT University! I think it's relevant but more importantly I just wanted to share with all of you what I've said on the matter, the link is below:

I wholeheartedly agree that for now it is mostly story, in fact the direction I see this going in is a CYOA story adventure built from RPG Maker MV because It would be outside of my wheelhouse to learn a coding language and use that instead. View Post

Game Research

I've received a lot of valuable feedback regarding the lack of direction and obscurity that the stories can take on for Zenofae Gene and CNT University!  Sometimes it feels good to work for a goal or to accomplish a story line but it can also feel very frustrating with out any guide, help or confirmation of what exactly was achieved.

I'm researching a quest plugin for RPG Maker MV, I'm happy to hear suggestions but I would like to implement it first for Zenofae for the September up...

Work Schedule August/September

In typical fashion I've sent you guys a release with tons of bugs.  Thankfully I'm getting a lot of specific reports on what's happening which will allow me to more easily identify the problems in the game.

I'm hoping that I can upload a bugfix version later today, which will also include more of the masturbation scene which was added but only for certain circumstances. I had originally left it out while the main character is having her period because it wasn't an accurate represen...

CNT weekend release!

CNT is nearing completion for release.  The scope of what I wanted to have for the game took on a bit more complexity than I first estimated which is why it's Friday and I'm not ready to upload.

I'm happy with all of the content that I've added, the final piece before EoC will be the first session in the Weaver.  I want to leave you with that for every player who wants to try to rebel and fight their way out of CNT...

Wrapping up CNT for August....

Regarding the extra time I’m spending with CNT:


I have the weekly mechanics completed and working (at least I think they are working). Saturnxart delivered their commissioned artwork early, and I love the pieces! That also means they will be included in the update and depending on which character path you are on you start with one of three club outfits which will be visible in the bar Sunday night.

With mid August approaching I wanted to let you know what's coming up very soon:

I'm putting the finishing touches on the weekly system.  This has gone much more slowly than I wanted due to how  busy work has been... in a day I'm pretty tired and by the end of the week I'm totally wrung out with a lot of personal things that need to be attended to.

My work load has been easing up, which is allowing me the opportunity to invest some fresh energy and ...

Game Update

After trying to fix some major bugs with the game it would seem that there is still more work to do.  I want to thank the players who have mentioned feedback regarding the bugs, without which I wouldn't notice or be able to fix these issues. 

A few things about June:  one of my key play testers was ill... so generally unable to help find issues for me to fix, and we are still catching up. Inknox was so ill they had to go to the hospital and it has taken about a month for ...
