Ruin Me 0.28 Preview and 0.27 Notes

Hi, perverts! Thanks again for your patience with my weird schedule the last few weeks; I'm feeling a lot more stable and confident now. Also, happy belated Labor Day to those of you in the US and Canada! I hope you're able to have the best working experience possible in the current situation.

I'm planning to put up a new poll this week for my Center of Attention patrons, on what the next play scenes should be. I've finally worked my way through most of the results of the last polls! Re...

Ruin Me 0.27: Body Art

Hello, perverts! Thanks for your patience on this release. Beyond the skipped week, it's later than usual because I wanted to make sure to get you more than just one scene. I feel like I'm hitting my stride again, though, so I'm feeling good about next week.

Because it's after midnight here, I'll do the rest of the release stuff (free version, promotional posts, etc.) when I'm rested.

Version 0.27.0p adds:

• The first two of three scenes of "Rescue a Marked Man", a minor...

0.27 News Update

Hi, perverts! As you may have noticed, I didn't get the new update out last week; I'm experiencing a bit of burnout coupled with feeling under the weather, so I'm taking it a bit easy. I'm hoping to get the new update out this week instead!

I really appreciate your patience and support, and I hope you're all doing well. Let me know if you have any questions, feedback, or requests! Otherwise, I'll talk to you later this week.

0.27 Preview and 0.26 Behind the Scenes

Hi, perverts! I hope you're all doing great. Things have been pretty tough for a lot of people for a while now, so I hope you're doing your best to be kind to yourselves.

I'm still feeling a bit too backlogged to set up a poll right now, but I'll probably put one up at the end of the week. In the meantime, Center of Attention patrons remain welcome to make requests, and I'm happy to receive feedback from everyone!

Ruin Me 0.26: GUI Update

Hi, perverts! The new version of Ruin Me is up at the link above. Its big feature is a major update to the interface visuals, which should be especially good for Android usability. The revised version of Theresa's kneeling POV pose is still in-progress.

• The ability to disable content warnings in the preferences, by request.

Ruin Me 0.26 Preview and 0.25 Behind the Scenes on Debriefings

Hello, perverts! I was glad to get the last release out. It was a busy week! In this post I'll talk a bit about the debriefing scenes after horror expeditions and give a preview of what I've got planned for this week's release.

I'm taking a break from polls for this week; I've already got a good shortlist of stuff the Center of Attention patrons are interested in. But you're always welcome to offer suggestions, comments, and requests!

Ruin Me 0.25.1 Hotfix

I've released a quick fix for a bug that was preventing completion of coitus and oral sex training. It was just a couple of missing commas that were causing a very subtle issue before, but changes I made to support the Advanced Permissivity training made that issue become a big problem.

You can download the fixed version at the link above and upgrade as normal; your saved games should be just fine.

Ruin Me 0.24.1 Now Public

Hi, perverts! The latest free version of Ruin Me is now up with spit play and predicament bondage. You can download the update at the link above.

Ruin Me 0.25: Body Parts

Hello, perverts! The new version of Ruin Me is up at the link above. It has the conclusion to "The Smoky Glasses" horror expedition and a couple other features. Enjoy!

• The "Engage in some foot play." scene, by request, available from the play menu in Theresa's cham...

Ruin Me 0.25 Preview and 0.24 Behind the Scenes on Peril

Hi, perverts! I hope you've enjoyed the most recent release. More folks seem to be finding the game, and I'm glad that it's getting played. In this post I'll chat about some of my thoughts about peril in this past release, and what I'm planning for the upcoming one.

My Center of Attention patrons picked training priorities in the next poll, so it looks like the first Advanced Depravity training Theresa will be getting is in deep throating. There was a three-way tie for second place, so ...

Poll: Act III Vibe Check

Hi, special perverts! The last poll was pretty spread-out, but deep throating emerged as a definite winner, so that's what I'll be implementing first for Advanced Depravity. Tied in next place were threesomes, power bottoming, and analingus: all good options that I'll pick based on how inspired I feel when it's time. Thanks so much for your input!

Ruin Me is actually getting rather close to nominal completion; once all three stats reach 4 and three of the "bird" minor ruination...

Hello, perverts! The latest free version of Ruin Me is up with body writing and a pair of older lesbians! You can download the update at the link above.

Ruin Me 0.24: Spit and Predicaments

Hey, perverts! It's time for another release of Ruin Me. This one ended up having an unexpected amount of writing in it; the new horror expedition is around 7000 words and counting. Rather than scramble to finish it, I'm putting out the first two of three stages of the expedition, which actually works well, because first-time players will experience the expedition spread out across the three acts. 

This update also includes the culmination of Theresa's  Permissivity t...

Ruin Me 0.24 Preview and 0.23 Behind the Scenes on Authority

Hello, perverts! Thanks again for your understanding about me taking two weeks for the last release. It seems to have been well-received, at least on first glance; I'm seeing real high views/downloads on itch, and my Reddit posts have gotten a lot of upvotes. In this post I'll share some updates, talk a bit about authority in erotica, and preview what'll be in the next release!

I'm still figuring out how to present the game to new folks, so if you feel like telling me what first caught ...

Poll: Advanced Depravity Options

Hello, special perverts. In the last poll, six of you said you'd be fine with body markings only showing up in Theresa's main pose, while four said that it would bug them. That was a close enough split that I didn't want to ignore those who would be bothered.

The approach I took was to design the markings flat, and then apply them to multiple poses with appropriate distortion and perspective. This was easier and more reliable than drawing them freehand for each pose. I think it looks ju...

Ruin Me 0.22.1 Now Public

Hi, perverts! The latest free version of Ruin Me is out. There are customizable outfits and some heavy petting! You can download the new update at the link above.

Ruin Me 0.23: Turtledoves and Body Art

Hello, perverts! Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding another long release. This one has most of what I planned in the preview on Monday, but doesn't have an art revision; I decided I didn't have the resources to do it properly in this release. It does have a major upgrade to the Reform Institute and an initial few options for marking Theresa's body.

Version 0.23.0p adds:

• A scene where Theresa updates you on what she's learned about the Reform Institute in...

Ruin Me 0.23 News and Notes on Pulp and Tone

Hi, perverts! You may have noticed there wasn't a release this past week. I'll share what's been going on, but first I'll say that I intend to get one out this week; I hope to make it a bit bigger than usual, but it won't be double the size.

I've been struggling with the writing on this one; it includes a scene with two other people, and that just adds a layer of complexity and potential angles that proved challenging. Combined with the fact that it took me a while to figure out just wh...

Ruin Me 0.23 Preview and 0.22 BTS on Specificity

Hello, perverts. Thanks for continuing to follow and support me! This past release seemed to be pretty well-received, which is nice to see. A bunch of people downloaded the public version and the Reddit posts got some attention. I hope I can keep reaching and pleasing more people.

My Center of Attention patrons have finished voting on what some upcoming story will explore: the two topics that ended up on top are female homosexuality and body marking/modification. I haven't picked yet wh...

Poll: Thoughts on Marking Theresa?

Hi, special perverts! Thank you for voting on the minor ruinations; I'm close to starting work on one of the winners, which will either be a pair of lesbians or a stigmatophile. I haven't decided which will be be best to start with.

As always, you're welcome to make suggestions or requests that aren't part of a poll. Let me know if there are ways you'd like to have influence on the game!

For this week, I want advice on something I've been debating internally for a while. One of my...

Ruin Me 0.22: Outfits and Heavy Petting

Hi, perverts! I'm happy to share a new version of Ruin Me! This one has a play scene, plus systems for acquiring and choosing outfits for Theresa.

Version 0.22.0p adds:

• A play scene: "Kiss Theresa as you masturbate each other", available at Experience 2 and Permissivity 1.
• Outfit customization for Theresa, available in her chambers and unlocked by stat requirements or events that introduce outfits. Previously-existing outfits are her normal dress, her négligée, th...

Ruin Me 0.22 Preview and 0.21 BTS on Promotion

Hi, perverts! I hope you are all doing wonderfully. Things are rough out there, including where I am in the US. Still, I'm doing my best to take care of myself and enjoy life safely and I hope you are, too.

In general news, the most recent poll concluded with a choice of new outfits for Theresa; the winners were period-appropriate options, which I was a little surprised at. There's a new poll up, asking for input on what queernesses and kinks will be explored first in an upcoming part o...

Poll: Which Minor Ruinations First?

Hello, special perverts. Thank you to folks who voted on costumes; I hope to get some of the winners out this week. I've also now implemented two of the winning training scenes and one of the play scene winners from June's polls.

I don't receive many specific requests at all from you all, but you're very welcome to make them! Whether it's stuff that fits into the snippets list, alternate options you wish you ...

Ruin Me 0.21: Watersports

Hello, perverts! It's time for a new release of Ruin Me. We've got a new training scene and some other, smaller changes!

Version 0.21.0p adds:

• The "Watersports" training scene, part of the "Advanced Submission" training sequence, including new art for Theresa.
• An initial scene preparing for the reform of the Reform Institute, accessible at the Institute in Act III after speaking with Theresa in her chambers.
• Some cleanup of some Reform Institute locations f...

Ruin Me 0.21 Preview and 0.20 BTS on Sex Game Design

Hi, perverts! Things are going fine this week. I've been working on the bonus reward game, which involves a bunch of writing; it'll take me a bit to finish. I don't know how many folks are especially interested, but it's fun to work on something a bit different from my usual Ren'Py stuff!

There's one day left on my current Center of Attention patron poll, which is about what sort of costumes should be added f...

Ruin Me 0.20: Submission and Astragalomancy

Hi, perverts! The latest version of Ruin Me is here. Like I predicted earlier, this one is a bit chiller; I hope you like it!
