Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
Two posts coming today for you wonderful Patrons! The first is this art preview of two of the CGs coming to JPDE in 1.8! The first is the one above which... Well, I won't spoiler what's going on, suffice to say it's the main story event for this release. ;)
The second is... AN UPDATED VERSION OF WEISS' FIRST DATE CG! Remember this?

Hello there again, it's finally done!
This spreadsheet is going to be update continuously with each new addition of characters and 'dates'. The left most column is for the character portraits, the other ones will display previews of the CG images for each of their dates.
About the icons, a heart means that the character has their Beacon School Dance event added, while a star means that they have their Special Ending Unlocked. Both ...

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
Wanted to let you know that:
1) I'm working on a spreadsheet to keep track of all the dates included and/or possible in JPDE.
2) While working on it, I also laid down a few rules as to how the character nominations will work from now on -to also give the less popular fandom characters a possibility to have their dates without having to wait for the more popular ones to be all filled fi...

Hello there, troll Kaen here.
Well, not really... I always respect the rules, even in case of MILFs, don't I? :D
In this case, the people tried to guess and voted and correctly guessed that the Black MILF was Kali Belladonna...
But you loyal followers know that one of the rules of JPDE is 'Vol 1-3 characters only'. Thus, Kali winning invalidates the poll and what happens when a Poll is invalidated...?

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
BunnyVoid is hard at work, and here's a preview for the next background she's working on: the Beacon Academy Gym/Pool. After all, there's not just training, there's also body conditioning. :3
Also, a quick PSA: voting for this Month's polls opens on Tumblr on the 9th!

Here's the preview for the CG that is going to decorate Weiss's Third Route Event! Fun story about this, this is actually the third version of the sketch because the first was a mockup but when presented with the second...
"It looks cool! Only thing, uhm... Weiss' breasts aren't that large."
Which is why I'm currently posting this from the confines of a Schnee compound's storage unit...

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
So it's no mystery that some of the art pieces I've commissioned over the months... Do not live up to their companions.
Hence why I've started replacing them with newer additions, starting with that one scene from when the MC wakes up to find Penny... Well, you know. :3 Here's a preview!

First of all, I wanted to share with you a preview of Bunnyvoid's newest Background for JPDE: the Beacon Entrance and Bullhead Landing Platforms! Ain't that a beaut?! :D
Second, a small PSA. As you probably noticed, the Patreon donations have gone down a few -which is completely fine by me, people have more pressing needs in life than fundi...

Have you heard... About the new Art Craaaaaze?
Aka, someone won the new character poll and I now present to you the basic sketch! The Twins are coming to rock your world... For bad or good, that is still to be seen. ;)
Also, I've started uploading JPDE's OST tracks to Vid.me, starting with an extended version of Light It Up!

I'm going to open a second Patreon in the future.
Why? Because this Patreon started and focuses on the creation of videogames, so that's what I will keep having you fund on here. For my other endeavors which focus more on writing, I think it's fair to you to not have them share funding.
Writing what, you may ask? Well, like many people in the world, I have a few projects. Some that I actually managed to finish like this short stor...

Hello there, Meinos Kaen here!
So, after the debacle of two parties having a lots of fun with the second round of this month's Route Event Poll, I decided that a new system was needed from next month onward, which I called the Battle Royale.
This is a radically different system than a simple StrawPoll, and it also opened up the high-end Patreon tiers. There's no longer a limited amount of it and not only that, now more Patrons can vote for the same character

Here with an art preview for the next release, featuring Jack about to kick some serious ass, and also two PSAs.
The first is that Amber won the second Route Event Poll, joining Yang Xiao Long for 1.6's new content.
The second is that in post later today I will explain what the new "Battle Royale" method consists of.
It's not a definitive version, so if you...

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here.
So, someone has been having a LOT of fun with round II of the Voting Polls for the second new Route. Because of that, the results of it are now void.
I'd like to redo it implementing the new voting system but that'd take away too much time. I have artists who need directions, damn it :/
So for the redo you patrons are going to be the only ones allowed to vote. Also allows me to experiment with the Poll feature on Patreon :P Happy...

Hello there, Meinos Kaen here!
Just a quick PSA for two very important announcements. The first is that the limits for the Side of Birth and the Side of Power Patron Tiers are gone! Now everyone can join them and suggest members for the monthly polls!
The second is that starting from next month there's going to be a new voting system in town...
A system that I'd like to call THE BATTLE ROYALE. Stay tuned!

A good Thursday from Italy!
First, here's the preview for Emerald's first route event CG! Second, I wanted to remind you that from this release onwards, JPDE is going to come out on the first week of each month, after all Patreon Payments have gone through.

As always, leave a comment under this post saying what version you want and I'll send a link via PM.

I promised you, didn't I? Here's the trailer for the game, uploaded to Vid.me in full 1080p quality! :D
Give me any feedback you may think of. This is just a temporary version, the final version of the trailer will be better animated, with better sound design and an original soundtrack. Also, you may have noticed that I decided for a name.
In the end, I realized that the central thing about this saga won't be places or McGuffins, but the seas

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here!
This is a preview for the second CG for Project Avast! Alongside the first one , it will be featured in the game trailer I'm currently working on.
A first rough version will be up for Patrons in the next two days, and so will any consequential updates. Once it's complete I plan on releasing it to the public. :3 So your feedback is very important.

Hello thar, a good Sunday from Italy!
Did you watch Eurovision? Too bad Italy didn't win but I loved the entries for Moldova and Norway. And while I guess Portugal's song was more deserving technically, the kid from Bulgaria was the real showstealer this year.
And speaking of show-stealer, you'd better not stare at the moon too much. Even just from the sketch I can't wait to see this new CG for Weiss' secound route but remember that she's the star :P
See you ...

NOT THAT WAY, PERVS! Also hi, there, Meinos Kaen here with a preview of the next CG for Ruby's route!
She looks pretty cute, doesn't she? This situation is 100% non pervy and the result of a small rollercoaster of emotions. No one can be nice and happy all the time, after all. :3
Also, happy easter to everyone -one day in advance but, what the hell- and I'll see you in a couple days with the Preview for the 10$+ Patrons!

Hello there, Meinos Kaen here!
As promised, here's an update regarding JPDE's development, more precisely the rough concept of the next 3D Model BunnyVoid is working on: Beacon's Classrooms.
Classrooms because the model, as you can see, includes an external corridor and the two kinds of classrooms we've seen in RWBY so far: a lecture hall and the training arena. I asked Bunny to place them together to save space.

So, you may remember about a little someone who does the wonderful backgrounds for JPDE called BunnyVoid.
Well, this month she's working on Junior's Club! You can see from the meshes that this version is a bit different from the original in the series... I mean, Yang wrecked it pretty good. If I were Junior, I would take the opportunity to make some serious renovations!
The inspirations for this version of the club are 2017-03-23 08:36:43 +0000 UTC

Hello there, Meinos Kaen here with more Project Avast goodness!
This is a sketch of the first CG Image of the game, featuring four different point of views. Considering that the image is supposed to represent a disaster happening, you can probably guess on what the image should have its focus and what angle I chose.
Also, boats and lighthouses for size comparison :D
