End of Year report 2020

Well here it is, last day of 2020 (though for some it's already the new year) and its time to look back on what we did for this year and looking forward to the next.  There have been quite a few achievements for this year so we'll just go over the big ones.

-  The old backlog has been finished.  There was quite a bit of writing that was done for this year and one major accomplishment of that is that a couple of older stories that had been on the trello for a while have be...

Rain and Shine December 2020 Build

So there was a list I was creating of all the changes that have been made to the game in the last month or so but it accidently posted early and I deleted it hastily without saving, so let's just say that there is a lot that has been modified and added.  Most notable is the fact that the intro is now completely finished complete with bad ends, and the addition of the movie theater to the corrupted side of things.  I haven't modified the latter yet to fit with the theme but with the ...

Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you're all having a safe and happy holidays!

New potential reward incoming

Have a new reward potentially incoming for the $25 tier which will involve the shipping of books, candles, candies, etc.  Still trying to figure out exactly what and how, but that's going to be a little bit in the future probably starting January.  This month I'm doing a lot of tests on various recipes and such so I can see how easy this is going to be to fulfill, but I would like to make a fulfilling physical reward. 

UPDATE: The candy/candle making is actually going p...

Alert for February

I know that this is a bit early but I wanted to get started getting the word out now so that people aren't surprised when it actually happens.  Once we get to the start of the new year and after the January pledges have been taken in there will be a pause placed on this patreon for the month of February.  That means that come Feb. 1st you will not be charged for being a patreon and there will be nothing that is supposed to be posted for the month.

The reason is that I'm taking...

End of the Month Report, Nov 2020

November was definitely a bit of an up and down month; there was a bit of experimentation with new possible formatting styles and a number of stories that got done.  This was also the month that I moved down to my new office space in the basement of our residence, which is coming along nicely.  On the other side we also found out that we would not be able to get a new den for quite some time and that a number of physical ailments prevented me from writing as much as I wanted and to ...

Slaying the Dragon

So this interactive is probably the closest to having a completely finished thing, and I will definitely finish it soon.  Unfortunately with my back problems I wasn't able to get as far as I wanted to in order to get it done.  I wanted to get something up here though before the end of the month though and I did get pretty far.

Opal Sabrewolf Short Stories

So it appears that a few people did not realize that there were stories being posted through the site, so I decided to put them all here for now.  As I'm doing this I'm also wondering if this might not be a bad idea as well, because patreon gives the option to notify when updated you can then see when new stories come in.  Plus one of the main reasons was to avoid getting scraped, but now that the site in question appears to be dead that is no longer really an issue.  So we'll ...

How is the website angle working?

Has everyone been able to see the stories and able to read them?  There should be two and four now for the five and three dollar tiers respectively.

The Changes to Smilodon Studio

So one of the big things that we were trying to do was to move out of the current living situation we were in so we could expand our ability to do youtube movies.  We've been saving up for a deposit and looking around for a few different areas.  When we met with a financial officer on what we could do however we learned some bad news.  Given the types of houses we were looking at and the fact that we already own a home (the condo) we found a lot of opportunities we were looking...
