Escape From the Factory, beta demo, MAC

Same as PC, but for Mac!

Update: We were made aware of a game-breaking bug once more in Raven's interview room, making me wonder if the Raven even wants you to progress given how many times a random glitch stopped the game in its tracks there. It has been resolved and the full demo should be available now.

Escape From the Factory - Beta demo, PC

This is it! I spent so many hours playtesting this, but I finally got to the end and nothing broke intensely on me... anymore! As always any feedback and such would be massively appreciated, there are a few areas that need polishing like the end but it's essentially mechanically done and ready to go.

Incubation Period - Exclusive

Another round of 'Serathin getting himself into trouble', the draconic sabrewolf is being a smuggler for illicit items from space port to space port in the most handy means he had.  While most of the time its a breeze to pass though customs before items passed through him a crash had caused a waylay to his plans.  After waking up in the hospital he finds that he's in trouble, though it's for a completely different reason then being caught smuggling.

Iron Pen over, resume normal activities

Just as a heads-up, the Iron Pen for May/June is over, and we're moving on to the cafe queue along with other work. Only difference is that for the next few weeks I'll be doing 10k instead of 5k in order to finish off a few things since I have gotten sick with something. Also instead of focusing on book editing like planned I'll be doing game dev stuff instead, both for TTP and my own solo stuff.

Slypher's Parasites - Cocoon Eggs

Supernatural Detective CYOA - First Case

With everything settling down and such and getting back to the projects that I have, and in doing so I am getting back to working on Synthetic Lunacy, The Town at the End of the Road, and the one featuring our supernatural werewolf detective. I already have the backstory and setting set up, so what is the case that our lupine private detective will take?

Slypher's Parasites - Mimic Mud

As he does though he notices that there are quite a few new faces at his establishment that are dragons.

What's this? A comic poll?

I find that even when I can't work due to illness I like to keep active, and with support for the comics and the patreon in general rising (hooray!) I wanted to throw this out there. I've been planning on wrangling another artist for another webcomic, question is what topic should we go with next? As much as I would love to more than one it would behoove me to go slow at this point in my expansion efforts. Vote below!

Other suggests will be looked at in comments.

Patreon Exclusive poll - June '24

Have a secondary poll, this one being things that I'd be curious to do as Serathin but have never really done much. These are mostly just concepts that will be built on whichever gets actually picked and are sorted by the nexus lord that goes with them.

Not Suitable For Adventure

Rook is a stalwart knight that runs afoul of a cursed rubber suit, and as he finds that its possessed it puts him on an adventure in order to break it and save the one that is inside. Little does he know that the one possessing him has other ideas for this particular quest and Rook finds out that there is more to life then just being a knight. Will he succumb to the curse of the rubber suit, or is there something else that he has to worry about corrupting him?

Hell Hath No Fury

Based in the Shadowrun: Race to a Billion universe, two runners are attempting to foil a group that is doing strange things with Atlantean artifacts. It turns out to be a trap and they are transported to the infernal realm where a familiar figure is there waiting for them in order to exact some sweet revenge.

Patreon Exclusive Poll - June 2024

It's that time again! We're doing the poll for June, and since its pride month I thought we'd do a few things that relate to it.

End of Month report, May 2024

It's the end of May already, and as we move to the summer months we have a lot going on. With the game demo going strong we're continuing to move forward with it. With the new Iron Pen going strong right now the queue is dutifully being cleared and still hoping for a mid-June finishing date. That means that where will only be a few weeks from the end of that to the next one in July, but it needs to be done in order to get things back on the schedule.

Speaking of commissions and the I...

Network Integration, pg 5

We finally see the brains behind the operation, or are we?  Argos seems nice enough at least, and having a super powerful AI managing system functions is probably a boon.  

City of Origin, pg 10

We see our Controller Sabredrone starting to take charge of the other two, though our wolf punk seems to be a bit resistant to their new role. Fortunately our resident sabredrone is nice enough to walk him through the process in order to... ease his fears.

Marking the Occasion

Frank and Amoreena are off to a week of camping away from the bustling city, using it as a means to celebrate their anniversary.  Before they go out though they find that there is a tattoo parlor that is doing a sale with new experimental ink.  It turns out to be too good to be true, triggering a reaction that neither of them could ever expect.

Brand New Beats - Exclusive

When an old watering hole is closed down and its clients displaced one such client is referred to a new club by a bar fly friend. It's definitely not his usual jam but he finds that the music is rather alluring.

Escape From the Factory, Mac version

Mac version finally rendered, here it is! Will undergo the same hotfixes as the PC version.

Hotfix update:

Fixed some wrong naming conventions that were in the lobby, should run a lot smoother now.

• Fixed an error in Raven's office that had the player loop back to the lobby.

• Fixed more problems in the lobby with navigation, all areas should be accessible from several points.

Escape From the Factory, (Almost) Full Demo

Hey everyone, here it is! Now with Iron Pen I hadn't really had a chance to test this out but I'm hoping that ya'll will give it a few clicks and see if there is anything that I need to know. Just give me any errors that happen in the comments below, it's much appreciated as I attempt to get through the iron pen.

Also note some things haven't been added yet, but getting there as I go.

Hotfix:

• Had our first whoops, put up an outdated file, this one shoul...
