Ruin Me 0.36.0: More Watersports

Hello, perverts! I hope you're doing good as we close out January. I'm very thankful for your assistance in being able to develop Ruin Me. I also appreciate you spreading the word about the game; I want more and more people to play it!

A heads-up: I'm planning to change to charge-up-front for this Patreon after this month's pledges go out. This won't affect any existing patrons at all, but it will mean that I'll have access to more features and will simplify when new patrons qualify for...

0.35 Reflection and 0.36 Preview

Hello, perverts! The 0.35 release added a bunch of miscellaneous customization features as well as a new play scene that introduced the first example of lasting effects. I've also run a couple of polls, one for the next minor ruination and one for general kink themes that folks like for Theresa. I've just posted a new poll on what play scenes should get added next.

Some poll takeaways: Urolagnia was a clear f...

Which Play Scenes Next? (January 2020)

Hello, special perverts! It's time for the periodic poll on what play scenes with Theresa you'd like to see me add. With the flurry of writing for the "birds" and the completion of her advanced ruination, I didn't end up adding many since the last poll, but I have enough new patrons that I want to recalibrate.

Please vote for the play scene you're most interested in seeing next. If there's something that's not on the list and you think it should be, please share it in t...

Ruin Me 0.35.0: Flogging and Outfits

Hi, perverts! 2021 is getting off to a weird start in the US. I've been keeping it together, although money is super tight for me. That means I super appreciate all of your support!

This release contains almost all stuff guided by Center of Attention patrons! I'm finally catching up on some play scenes chosen last year, I added a new outfit based on a poll, and I got a request for some oral-after-anal stuff that's been added. The current poll is for general input on what kinks and conce...

Poll: Kinky Themes For Theresa

Hi, fancy perverts. I super appreciate your support right now; things are tough for me and every little bit helps. Remember that you're welcome to make special requests for stuff you want to see in the game, no matter how small. Comment, PM me, or write: phanes@phanes.me

Based on the previous poll, it looks like the next minor ruination will be centered on pee play, which is exciting, as it's one of my favorite kinks. Partner sharing with the man being the active partner being shared al...

0.33-0.34 Reflection and 0.35 Preview

Hi, perverts! I hope you're all doing well! It's been a month since the last preview, but I feel like I've gotten a bunch done.

I finally released the CYOA image game, which was a celebration of reaching 50 patrons... and now I'm almost at 100! I think it's about time to post a new goal, so here it is: when I hit 150 patrons, I'll make and release a patron-only queer smutty text game in Twine where you play a...

Poll: Which Minor Ruinations Next?

Hi, elite perverts! Thank you for voting on new outfits. As Center of Attention patrons, you're also invited to make specific requests at any time. Is there stuff you want added to the snippets list? Is there a certain kink you want to see more of? Is there something you especially want to do to Theresa? Is there an option you wish was available in an existing scene? You can comment here, PM me on Patreon, or write...

Ruin Me 0.34.0: Anal Sex

Hello, perverts! Happy new year! I got this one out quick; I wanted one more release before the new year, and it's appropriate that it's the one that lets you finish the main part of Theresa's training!

There's a poll finishing up for patrons at the $5 level on what outfits I should add next for Theresa! Currently, very period-appropriate outfits are winning. I intend to put up polls more often in the new year!

Version 0.34.0p adds:

• The "Anal Sex" training sequence, br...

New Outfits Poll For January 2021

Hi, special perverts! I'm going to do my best to keep the poll frequency higher in the new year. The first thing I'd like to do is get some of your thoughts on new outfits for Theresa, which are acquired from the Tailor.

As with existing extra outfits, these will just be visible in the standing pose; Theresa will default to nudity in other poses. I'll probably pick a few of the top options before running another outfit poll.

If you have trouble picking, or you have a suggestion th...

Ruin Me 0.33.0: Power Bottom

Hi, perverts! Merry Christmas! I've been working a lot this month on attempts to get a day job, but I've managed to put together a holiday gift all the same. With this one, two of Theresa's three training areas are completable!

Version 0.33.0p adds:

• The "Power Bottoming" training scene, part of the "Advanced Depravity" training sequence taking Theresa from Depravity 3 to 4, including new art for Theresa.
• The ability to skip undesired Advanced Depravity training and ...

Exclusive Ruin Me CYOA

Hi, perverts! It's been a long time coming, but I've finished the image-based CYOA that's a celebration of me reaching 50 patrons! It's been mostly done for a bit, just waiting for art and polish. It's got a bit of the feel of a super-short single-player tabletop RPG, with a different view into the world of Ruin Me.

0.31-0.32 Reflection and 0.33 Preview

Hello, perverts! With my living situation changing, I didn't end up doing a reflection for 0.31, so I'll do two bits of reflection here. I hope you're all doing well! I'm realistically, cautiously optimistic about how things are going in America right now and while my month was busy, I feel like I'm in a better place for future work and future living.

I feel good about the results of the previous poll on audio ambience. I've started gradually adding in more sound, and I think it enhance...

Ruin Me 0.32.0: Edging

Hello, perverts! I've had a change in my living situation since the last release, which is why I'm behind on behind-the-scenes stuff. Still, I wanted to get a release to y'all and I'm happy with how it turned out!

Version 0.32.0p adds:

• A new minor ruination, "Rescue a Desperate Woman", letting you help a compulsive masturbator. It's available in the cellar of the Reform Institute in Act III once Theresa has informed you about the "birds".
• A conclusion to the "Improv...

0.30 Reflection and 0.31 Preview

Hi, perverts! Thank you so much for your understanding after a slow month. It's been a super rough time in the US lately and October hit me especially hard. With a bunch of other things going on in my life and a struggle to make ends meet personal-budget-wise, I also had an unexpected amount of difficulty with this expedition.

Before I get into that, I'll note that I've put up a poll asking abo...

How Much Sound?

Hello, special perverts! Thank you for sticking with me through a slow October. I've been thinking about general polish stuff for Ruin Me, and one thing I want feedback on is sound.

Currently, the opening to the game has thunder and rain ambience at appropriate times, but there's nothing else for the rest of the game. I usually mute porn games, but on the other hand, audio can really help with making a game feel more vivid.

I'm trying to decide if I should remove the open...

Ruin Me 0.30: The Empty Hull

Hello, perverts! It's been longer than I wanted. Thank you for your patience and support. I've had a hard month, but I'm super happy to have a release out again.

This release isn't everything I hoped it would be, but I'm glad to have it done. I hope to resume a more frequent schedule moving forward!

Version 0.30.0 adds:

• "The Empty Hull", a horror expedition about shipwrecks and the mysteries of the sea, available by talking to Cathy at the docks in Act II.

0.30 News Update

Hello, all you perverts! I don't have much novel news except that my schedule is going to continue to be a bit unreliable. I'm making slow progress, but between physical health and mental health and the state of the world and of my finances, maintaining a consistent work routine is still super challenging.

I'm continuing to work on the new horror expedition involving Cathy and a mysterious ghost ship, and I continue to welcome any feedback or requests you have! I'll keep you all posted....

0.30 Preview

Hey, perverts! I hope your week is going well. The current poll for Center of Attention patrons is near its end; so far, it looks like folks are favoring flogging Theresa and Theresa using a strapon for the next play scenes! There's still time to cast your vote, if you like.

I don't have a compelling concept for behind-the-scenes notes this week; let me know if there's something you'd like me to talk about in these!

Ruin Me 0.29: Visual Enhancements

Hello, perverts. I hope you're as well as you can be right now. There's a lot going on.

This is a release with a short changelog that was a lot of work! It's not everything I want it to be, but it's an improvement on what was there before.

Version 0.29.0 adds:

• A near-complete redraw of Theresa's kneeling POV pose, as seen in the Ritual of Agrat and some Advanced Submission trainings.
• A preliminary default GUI frame background, which will be updated for specifi...

Please vote for the play scene you're most interested in seeing next. If there's something that's not on the list and you think it should be, please share it in the comments, and click the hearts for any suggestions that you like.

0.29 Preview and 0.28 Notes

Hi, perverts! My schedule continues to be a bit unsteady lately, but I'm continuing to settle back into a groove. I hope to get a small-ish release out tomorrow.

I hope you've enjoyed the recent releases! They've been challenging with my current situation, but they were still fun to write. I've got a tentative list of stuff I want to do in the next release, but first let's talk a bit about pacing!

Ruin Me 0.28: Deep

Hi, perverts! This release is finally out! I'm catching up. Because this is coming out on a Monday, I'll do my preview/retro post tomorrow.

Version 0.28.0p adds:

• The conclusion to "Rescue a Marked Man", a minor ruination about body modification. It can be completed by returning to the cellar of the Reform Institute.
• The "Deep Throat" training scene, part of the new "Advanced Depravity" training sequence for Theresa, including some minor enhancements to her kneeling ...
