Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!
Today the Public Route Poll closes and tomorrow the Bracket War for the JPDE Valentine's Day OVA starts! So I thought I'd post an updated version of the Route Tracking sheet, courtesy of a Patron named Wristwatch who shall remain unnamed.
These are all the characters who can be nominated for the polls, wheter they already have a date or not. Now... Be prepared, Patrons. It's gonna be a long month o...
Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here! Papa is already back at work... And he's bringing you the good stuff. Hope you like Day 98, because it's far from over, as Evelyn will discover soon. This CG will be the first appearance of the second to last original character who will be introduced to JPDE. - Meinos Kaen

Note - Due to pretty much 100% negative feedback about the idea, the bonus thing has been removed. lol
Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here... And we have the definitive list of contestants for the Bracket War! Are you ready for it? Let me remind you that the tournament will take place on Challonge and that the voting for each round will take place here on Patreon....

Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!
The last messages have been sent, to the 1$ Tier Patrons. This also means that whoever hasn't answered my PMs only has two more days to do so.
The nominations for the Valentine's Day Bracket War close on the 19th of March, 6 PM, Italian time. Afterwards, whoever hasn't made his nomination yet will lose the right to do so, no matter the Tier Level.

2018-03-17 15:08:53 +0000 UTC View PostWell... Here we are. We finally have two 50$ Patrons, which means it's time for a NEW CHARACTER POLL! You will choose who gets added to JPDE this month, Patrons.
Nothing much else to say, I don't even have a banner to make because... Well, the characters haven't been added to the game yet, have they?
So ready...
Set...
Vote!

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here! Time to vote for the next Route Event!
As always, the first poll is always going to be Patrons only. So the way it works is that once this vote is closed, the three remaining characters will then go through a public poll on my Tumblr Blog.
That said, ready, set... VOTE!

Well... Despite some people's best efforts, we did it! Patreon charged more than 1000$ at the beginning of March! Which means that the first JPDE Special is going to happen!
Now, I should probably clarify once and for all what that means and how are Patrons going to be involved into its creation. I'd compare the JPDE Specials to an Anime OVAs, aka a self-contained story that can be considered canon or not, centered around a short-lived...

Sorry, I couldn't resist, but you madmen actually went and brought me over the much coveted 1000$ goal! And you know what that means... We're starting the JPDE Specials!
Provided the donation levels stay at 1000$ through the month's end, I will then start working on the Valentine's Day Special! The exact contents will be object of Patron Vote, but I already have ...

Almost there, gentlemen. We're only missing two more characters, one song and the final touches on the background before I can start working on the demo properly.
In the meanwhile, I thought I'd introduce you to the newest characters added to the game... The Triplets. I won't tell you their exact names or roles yet because I want to see your reactions once the demo pop out. Let's just say that I hope you don't fin...
Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here and... Did I really even need to make this post?
I mean, Yang Xiao Long is the winner for Anthology Round IV, but have you seen the difference in votes? Madonna's Choice is only worth ten points so even choosing Coco, our fashionista would still have lost. Better luck next time, love.
Let me take this opportunity to announce the theme the Lewd Patrons will need to build their lewd around for Round V. And that theme ...

Also, little PSA. From next month we should be able to go back to the double date format. Of the consequential two polls, one is always going to be Patrons only. You're always going to have first choice, and the runner ups are then going to try their luck with public opinion.

So, some of you guys who follow my Discord may have followed the mad train of thought that brought me to not only want to include femMercury as an actual character in JPDE, but also to me stating that she won't substitute normal Mercury and exist at the same time as him. How? Well, this is how.
Well, just a sketch of how, actually. And we went through various versions before settling on this one.

Merry Christmas, everyone! So, a small PSA before getting into the details. Regarding Jack's lewd, Lulu-chan is currently moving and added health conditions will not make her able to work on this commission on a timely schedule. So, I'm currently recommissioning the piece to someone else.
Now, moving on to the results of Round III, Winter wins! She was in the lead anyway, with 10 votes to Cinder's 7 and Penny's 6 but Madonna's vote co...

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
We're finally getting there. BunnyVoid is working on the first background, and Amaco is working on the character sprites. Once I have the complete background -a textureless preview of which you can see here- I can officially start working on the Ars Oratoria demo.
Now, let me introduce you to our characters...

Yeah, this crazy bunny girl is pretty much my mascot, now. I admit it. Sounds almost unreal, huh? I got a mascot.
I should have probably made an anniversary post earlier but what exactly should I use as an anniversary, I asked myself. August, when the idea for JPDE first came to me? When I dropped the first demo? When I dropped 1.0?
I decided to just use the holidays for this, also so I can give you a Christmas Themed present! ;D What this is about, in short, is me than...
2017-12-12 09:05:26 +0000 UTC View PostHello from Berlin! Sadly Patreon's app doesn't let me make polls from mobile yet so we'll so this a different way.
I'm going to leave two comments, each one with the name of a different nominee. VOTES MUST BE MADE IN THE FORM OF A REPLY TO THESE COMMENTS OR BE INVALID.
Also, from now on, voting changes as such in reaction to Patreon's new fee policy, to give my Patrons more bang for their buck.

Alright, while I finish getting my luggage ready -going to Berlin, baby!-, a quick reminder to the 40$ and 60$ Patrons: a couple of you still have to nominate your selections for this month's polls, the results of which are needed for my artists.
I can't push them too far because the artists need enough time to meet the deadlines, so the time limit for the nominations is the 9th of December, 1 PM, Berlin time.

… It’s here. Nothing much else to say, just that this version only works with JPDE 1.9. I will make a definitive version once 1.95 lands. Also, the Android version comes tomorrow.

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here... And you can probably guess what I'm referring to, hm?
This is one of the CG images for the story part of the JPDE, and it symbolizes a great change in the plot and in the team dynamics, for obvious reasons. But she won't have to go through it alone...
Also, Neon won the Route Poll! Which means that...
NOVEMBER IS OFFICIALLY THE MONTH OF THE RAINBOW!

Hey there, bunbuns! Hope you're enjoying 1.8 and that you're looking forward to Madonna's first anthology story in November... And by the way, Neon Katt won!
At the poll's closure, the votes looked like this.
Neopolitan = 2 votes
Jack B. Ivory = 6 votes
Neon Katt = 5 votes
This would have decreed Jack's vote, if not for Madonna's Choice Bonus, which brings Neon's total v...

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
Just a heads up. I'm overhauling the battle system formulas for JPDE. This won't crash or ruin your save files, but since the new stats are only going to be able to be trained in the new Gym Area, you may find yourself underleveled at certain fights.
More about how the system works in a future post.
