Which Outfits/Costumes for Theresa?

Hey, special perverts! Thanks for your patience and continued support in a lull between polls. Please let me know if you have any thoughts, requests, or suggestions for ways you'd like to influence the game's design; I don't feel like I have good insight into the sort of thing y'all want a voice in, so any information is welcome!

Something I've wanted to do for a while is have Theresa meet you in her chambers in different outfits. I enjoy training/corruption games with wardrobe options....

Ruin Me 0.20 Preview and 0.19 BTS on Body Horror

Hi, perverts! As you might guess from this post coming later in the week, it's been a challenging one for me. I'm going to take it easy for this release and focus on loose threads and outstanding promises and not worry too much about adding a big chunk of stuff.

There hasn't been a poll for my Center of Attention patrons for a bit, but I'm going to put one up about costume customization. If you have suggestions for polls or additional offers that you think would be good incentives for c...

Ruin Me 0.19 Preview and 0.18 Behind the Scenes

Hello, perverts. I hope you're all doing well. I hope you're exploring the things that get you off, and thinking about how to indulge in them in a healthy way that's kind to yourself and others.

The recent poll for play scene priorities is complete! Center of Attention patrons chose to have Theresa dominate the player, which should be fun. I'm not sure if it'll happen this release, but it will be done soon. I'm still thinking about what the next poll should be; I'm considering adding ou...

Ruin Me 0.18: Humiliation

Hey, perverts! It's again time for a new version of Ruin Me. This one has the first training scene from the somewhat-different fourth tier of training.

Ruin Me 0.18 Preview and 0.17 Behind the Scenes

Hi perverts! I hope you're doing well. I'm super happy about today's US Supreme Court decision; it's not gonna erase problems overnight, but it's nice to see queer folks legally recognized as deserving to be able to work.

We're about halfway through our current poll on the next play scenes to implement! Folks are really liking the idea of having Theresa dom the player, but a lot of other options have gotten some love. Center of Attention patrons still have time to weigh in!

We're ...

Ruin Me 0.17.0: Basso Loco

Hello, perverts! I hope you're doing great. The latest patron version of Ruin Me is available at the link above. This is a big one! Act II is over! I'm excited to hear what you all think.

Version 0.17.0 adds:

• The "Basso Loco" story sequence, concluding Act II and resolving the search for Byatis. Note that the options in this sequence depend on Theresa's training, so if you don't care to encourage seduction under false pretenses, you can train her more to unlock other options...

Which Play Scenes Next? (June 2020)

Hello, special perverts! The last poll concluded with the next training scene being in Verbal Abuse, although I may rename it to "Verbal Humiliation". Runners-up are Watersports and Spit Play, with Cum Play taking up the back. You all want to ride Theresa hard and put her up wet, don't you? I'm sure she'll enjoy it.

All of the choices that got votes were in Permissivity; I haven't decided yet whether I'll stick with one stat until I have a full three scenes in it (the default number for...

Ruin Me 0.16 Preview and 0.15 BTS on Porn vs. Plot

Hello, perverts! I missed writing to you last week. I'm continuing to feel better, part of which is due to taking more time to relax and take care of myself. In this post I'll talk a bit about my thoughts around the story sequence from update 15 and share my plans for update 16!

The current poll for $5 patrons is about what kinky shit should be explored first in upcoming training sequences. Currently, my Center of Attention patrons are being a bit hard on Theresa: they're in favor of me...

Hotfix 0.15.1

Hi, perverts! I've uploaded a new version of the latest release that fixes a bug in the bondage play scene. Thanks to the patron who reported the issue! You can grab it at the link above, as usual.

Level 4 Training Priorities?

Hello, special perverts. We're getting closer to the fourth tier of training sequences, which will work a bit differently. Experience 4 will be in anal sex, which is something I think deserves a sequence all its own, but in Depravity and Permissivity, Theresa's already pretty comfortable with everything vanilla (and then some). The slow burn is over.

Because of this, the next round of Depravity and Permissivity lessons will be single-scene lessons in a variety of perverted topics. My cu...

Ruin Me 0.14.1 is Public!

Hi, perverts! The new free version of Ruin Me has been posted. Train Theresa in a time-honored social act or give her some hands-on attention. Download the new update at the link above; a detailed NSFW changelog is available here. 

Ruin Me 0.15.0: Bondage and Dr. Harvey

Hello, perverts! The latest patron version of Ruin Me is available at the link above.

Thank you all for your patience with this release! Taking extra time was a good idea; this past weekend I had two nights where I could barely sleep, but I was able to make some changes to my strategies and I'm feeling much healthier (but still with this persistent dry cough!).

This version has two main parts: one is the remaining play scene chosen by my Center of Attention patrons, and the other ...

Release 0.15 Delayed

Hey, perverts! I'm not going to do a release this week; as I was working yesterday I decided that you (and I!) deserve better than a rushed update, so I'm going to take care of myself and take the time to make next week's update solid.

I've been having a bunch of trouble lately with stress and sleeping well, which isn't good for me fighting this cough I have. I could tell it was a problem when the anxiety about the release going slowly was making it harder for me to work on the release,...

Ruin Me 0.15 Preview and 0.14 BTS on Sex Positivity

Hey, perverts! I hope you're all doing well. I have some random info snippets this week, plus a discussion of what it means to be "sex positive", and a preview of what I have planned for update 15!

Info Snippets

• The current poll for $5 patrons is asking about writing priorities; at the moment, most folks think I'm doing all right on how I balance different kinds of scenes, but if you feel differently, I'd love to hear your input!

What Should My Writing Priorities Be?

Hello, perverts! Thanks for your patience regarding a week without a poll. As I get closer to the end of Act 2 (just two story sequences left!), I've had a pretty clear view of what needs to get done next. Act 3 should open things up considerably.

The last poll resulted in two play scenes being picked.  Not too many people voted; I'm curious about whether y'all are liking the sort of polls I'm putting up, or if there's a different sort of input you'd like to have. Let me know if yo...

Version 0.14.0 adds:

• The "Vaginal Sex" training sequence, including a new pose for Theresa. This brings her from Permissivity 2 to 3.

Ruin Me 0.14 Preview and 0.13 BTS on Ambiguity

Hello, perverts! I hope you all liked update 13; I was pretty proud of how it turned out, and both big scenes were ones that I found personally pretty hot, which is always nice.

The most recent Center of Attention vote ended up with two play scenes rising to the top: "Put Theresa in Bondage" and "Get Theresa Off". I'm hoping to get the latter out in this release! The former should probably have a bit more art, so it'll likely wait until next release. My next poll will probably be about ...

Ruin Me 0.13.0: The Momentary Cabin and Poetry With Arthur

Hello, perverts! The new version of Ruin Me is available at the link.

This version includes a story about a woman removed from society, and how she becomes tall, weird, and dominant. It also has a play scene with Arthur Hitchup, the bookstore owner, where you get to appreciate some culture.

This version adds:

• A new horror expedition, "The Momentary Cabin", featuring the horror of social isolation: accessible in Act 2 by spending Ken when exploring outside town

Happy Monday, perverts! I still have a cough. A humidifier is helping. I feel like I'm trapped in a pocket of stuck time. More on that in the preview!

The Center of Attention patron vote for the next NPC scene was split between Arthur and Pappy! I'm doing Arthur first, mostly because I have my idea for him more fleshed-out. The current poll is for the next Theresa play scenes!

Which Play Scenes Next? (May 2020)

Hello, my most intimate perverts. As always, I treasure your support. The results of the last poll were split between Arthur and Pappy; I'm thinking I'll do Arthur first, as I have a clearer vision of what his scene will be like. I'm hoping to do that for the upcoming version 13. I'm not sure yet if I'll do Pappy's scene as well sometime this month... we'll see how things go!

I'm figuring out a routine for polls, and this week would be time for play scene selections! I'm not sure how ma...

Ruin Me 0.12.0: Into the Reform Institute

Hi, perverts! The new version of Ruin Me is up at the link above.

This release progresses the Byatis plot, and is the first time I've done a release without a new sex scene! I hope that's okay with y'all. I already have plans for the next version, which will definitely include some fucking.

This version adds:

• The "Diritta Via" story sequence, letting you get hired at the Reform Institute, unlocked after the Ritual of Agrat.
• A piece of art for the crystal you f...
