Ruin Me 0.44.0: Valentine's Breakfast Perversion

Hi, perverts! There's another Ruin Me release ready for you. As I sometimes do, I overscoped this one a bit, but I was able to get it out for Valentine's Day! I hope you enjoy it.

This release adds a new play scene and night music, but its largest feature is breakfast: a new routine customization that should help make the game's daily cycle feel a bit more intentional. If you prefer the morning efficiency of previous versions, you can ask Meg to deliver breakfast to your room.

I'm...

0.43 Reflection and 0.44 Preview

Hello, perverts! With some improvements to my habits (including regular sessions of Beat Saber) I've ended up feeling more productive, enough that my main concern on Ruin Me work this past week has been making sure to be kind to my wrists. I'm excited about my plans for upcoming releases!

There's a big poll up for the Center of Attention patrons where I'm getting a current view of what themes...

Themes and Kinks Popularity Poll

Hello, extra precious perverts! I hope you're enjoying the new release! The cheat menu that's available to y'all is basic at the moment, and I'm interested to know what you think and if there's anything I should add or change.

I'd like to get a feel for the current state of your interest in different themes, kinks, modes of play, and so on in Ruin Me! Here's a list of a bunch of things that show up in the game that I could add more of in future releases. I've tried to keep them general,...

Ruin Me 0.43.0: "Bend reality" cheat password

The latest version of Ruin Me adds a cheat mode for Center of Attention patrons, which you can access in your bedroom by going to the Reminisce menu and entering the password "ALKAHEST" (no quotes). If I notice the password get leaked, I'll change it in a release soon after so that y'all continue to get a special extra benefit.

The options there are basic right now: you can give yourself a bunch of Ken, customize Theresa's stats, or unlock later acts. They're probably a...

Ruin Me 0.43.0: Atmosphere of Depravity

Hello, perverts! The new release of Ruin Me is out right at the end of the month. My pace of development has felt good the past week or so, and I think it's sustainable. I'm excited to work on adding more stuff!

This release has as its biggest feature something a bit subtle that I hope will add a lot to the game's sense of place. Additionally, it adds a play scene that's been waiting for a while: Theresa receiving anal sex. Theresa topping should come soon. I also did a meme! As part of...

0.42 Reflection and 0.43 Preview

Hello, perverts! I took some time to rest over the holidays after doing a Christmas release. The weather where I am has been nasty and it's been a bit of a struggle for me to stay centered, but I'm working to get myself together. I'm not sure when the next release will be out; it could be this upcoming week or it could take longer.

Reflecting on The Pileous Retort

I'm super glad to finally get this horror expedition out! It'd been bouncing around in my notes and head for a long ...

Ruin Me 0.42.0: The Pileous Retort

Hi, perverts! Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, and happy holidays to all. Thank you for your patience on this one. My mood and thus my ability to work have been shaky and I'm super glad to be able to release this even though it's later than I predicted.

This release has my first new horror expedition in a long time and, to balance the fact that it's a bit more scary-sensual than erotic, a play scene that's been waiting to exist for a while. The incidental snippets I mentio...

0.41 Reflection and 0.42 Preview

Hi, perverts! I've been held up for a few days this week by a good, old-fashioned, non-pandemic illness. While the symptoms were unpleasant, it was kind of nice, in a way, to have a cough where I knew who I got it from and that it would be over in a few days with rest and drugs. I'm mostly better now and ready to update y'all!

Reflecting on Pappy and Other Fixes

One of my longstanding sets of writing is finally done and released! I wanted a play scene with each of the major side...

Ruin Me 0.41.0: A Kindly Pharmacist

Hello, perverts! It's time for another Ruin Me release! This one has a new play scene and some more polishing and cleanup. I feel like I'm in a good place for the new expedition coming up next!

As always, I'd love any help you'd like to provide with spreading the word about the game! If you have any feedback, suggestions, or thoughts on this update, please drop a comment or contact me privately.

0.40 Reflection and 0.41 Preview

Hey, perverts! I'm very glad to be able to work steadily again. I'm keeping burnout and general health in mind, so while my ongoing work might not be as rapid as it's sometimes been, I hope to keep it more reliable.

I recently polled the Center of Attention patrons about how they feel regarding pledge rewards. They mostly seemed pleased with what is currently on offer (which isn't too surprising, since I was polling folks who are active pledges), but one thing that seemed welcome was ac...

Hotfix to 0.39.2 and 0.40.2

Hey, perverts! Quick note: there was a bit of an embarrassing issue with the latest releases where a potentially spoilery prompt would appear in Theresa's chambers. This was meant to only appear after graduation. It's been fixed in both the public and the Play Participant tier versions, and I recommend you update your game to the latest version using the appropriate link.

Ruin Me 0.39.1 Now Public

Hello, perverts! The latest free version of Ruin Me is now available. This one adds a big graduation celebration: the largest sequence in an update so far. You can download it at the link above.

Ruin Me 0.40.0: Hands and Flesh

Hi, perverts! I've got a much smaller release for you than last time, but one that I'm happy to get out. It's got some followups to a couple parts of the game, plus some tune-ups and fixes for little things that needed attention.

Thank you again for the warm welcome back! If you have a place where you feel comfortable talking about Ruin Me, please let folks know about the game. There might be people who would enjoy it but don't know that it's being updated again.

Let me know what ...

0.39 Reflection and 0.40 Preview

Hi, perverts! I hope you had a sexy and spooky Halloween. I've been super heartened by how supportive everyone's been since I returned. I wish I had been able to communicate better with y'all, but it's been very encouraging at how so many of you have welcomed me back.

I'm going to be very mindful of avoiding burnout moving forward, as well as planning my work so that larger chunks of writing can get done over the course of multiple releases. I'm also probably going to adjust my patron b...

Patreon Tier Feedback Poll

Hello, special perverts. I'm happy to be back. Thank you for sticking with me, resuming your support, or joining for the first time! I've already got enough written to be confident I'll make a new release soon, but I want to ask for your input on revising my Patreon tiers.

I like being able to poll patrons, but even when I've done frequent releases it's often been over a month between times when I feel it's appropriate to seek your input. I'd like to be able to give benefits that feel w...

Catching Up with Ruin Me 0.38.1 Now Public

Hello, perverts. I want to fill you all in on how I've been and some information on the extended delay since the last release.

First, though, the latest free version of Ruin Me is now available, adding new scenes and the ability to give Theresa body modifications. You can download it at the link above. A NSFW changelog is available at: 2021-10-25 21:32:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Ruin Me 0.39.0: Graduation

Hello again, perverts. It's been far longer than I ever intended since the last release. I'm sorry for making you all wait. I'll make a public post shortly with more details on why there's been such a delay, but for now I'll just say thank you to everyone who's continued to support me despite my lack of communication and that I understand completely those folks who stopped pledging in the interim.

This update is probably the biggest one I've ever done. The source code file for the orgy ...

0.39 Status Update

Hi, perverts! It's been a moment, so I wanted to give you an update on how the next release is going.

I'm mainly focusing on Theresa's graduation orgy. It's a big thing with a lot of moving parts! You can customize three different aspects of the hosting, which affects how the opening of the party is framed. Then, I want two or three decision points in the middle to shape how the party progresses; these will branch off into sub-scenes and return to the main thread.

Additionally, th...

0.38 Reflection and 0.39 Preview

Hello, perverts! Thank you so much for the support lately. Like I said in my last reflection, I get nervous when I have a dry spell, but your well-wishes with the last release helped a lot with regards to easing my worries.

There's another gap in Center of Attention patron polls going on right now. I've got a bit of a backlog of stuff to implement from those. However, if you're supporting me at $5, you continue to be welcome to request things, especially quick things like extra options ...

Ruin Me 0.38.0: Piercing the Web

Hello, perverts! Happy belated one year of Ruin Me! Thanks for the patience as I've had awful health this past month. I'm feeling better now, although I'm pretty sure I have the long COVID. Hopefully it'll stay manageable!

This release feels big! It's a lot of stuff driven by patron polls and feedback, so I hope you enjoy! If you do, please let people know about the game if you feel able. It's hard to spread the word about a project like this one, and I appreciate any assistanc...

Check-in, 0.37 Reflection, and 0.38 Preview

Hi, perverts! It's been a bit. I usually do my best to put out at least two releases a month, but the past few weeks have been super rough for me health-wise. Multiple nights in a week without sleep, inability to get much of anything done, even eating properly. As you might imagine, it's hard to write sexy stuff in such a state. The good news is that I'm on the upswing, so I'm feeling up to resuming work. Thank you all for your patience, and I always understand if you need to adjust your supp...

Ruin Me 0.37.1: Dreams and Desires

Hi, perverts! We're getting close to one year since I first released a version of Ruin Me. It's exciting! It's come a long way since then and I can see the completion of the project in the distance.

My Center of Attention patrons are currently voting on what graduation celebration option I should implement first, and so far a gangbang is winning! If you want input on that decision, consider becoming a $5/mo supporter.

This release is entirely features that reside in the m...

0.36 Reflection and 0.37 Preview

Hey, perverts! I hope you're doing well. I've switched the Patreon to charge-up-front; it shouldn't affect any existing patrons at all, but I wanted to let you know. It means I won't have to worry about tracking who's pledged for things like requests and also lets me activate annual memberships! If you think you'll probably be supporting me for a year or more, you can switch your patronage to annual to get a decent discount!

The latest poll for Center of Attention patrons is complete, p...

Which Graduation Sequence First?

Hi, perverts of renown! Thank you for your support and for your advice on which play scenes should be added next.

While I have you here, a reminder: you can always make specific requests! Contact me via Patreon DM or email me at phanes@phanes.me . Requests can include random snippets,  new nomenclature terms, or additional branches for existing scenes. I'd love to hear requests for bigger stuff, too, alt...
