Getting back to it

Ok, It has been a couple of weeks since Ruins came out and I have been really happy with the response. I am especially happy to see so many new faced on here. I am truly grateful to each and every one of you guys, who support my small game dev setup. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough... 

OK, now that we have all that mushy stuff out of the way, lets get to the good stuff. I have started working on the next update for Acolytes and as you can see, this one is going to feature a fa...

New game Alert

Hey Guys.

Those of you who have been following along, know that I have been developing a new game for bara jam this year.

Well, the game is finally here and it is quite a bit larger than I was expecting.

As always, I was planning to make a game that should just be a small bit of naughty fun and then it spiraled into this massive thing, where an entire species hangs in the balance.

That said, I made sure that there were a lot of spicy bits.

This i...

Final Set

Hey guys.

I am still working on my Bara jam game, as most of you know, however it is nearly done.

I hope that thi wilæl be the final set of images that I send your way before you get your hands on the actual game. I think the game is gonna be awesome if nothing else it's gonna be long.

I plan to get back to Acolytes once I'm done with this game and I plan to start focusing on wrapping Acolytes up. This might be the last time you guys get to make some requests for acolytes, ...

sorry for the radio silence

Hey guys.

I am really sorry for the radio silence last week. I hate to make excuses, but in this case I feel like I have to, because I'm blaming my day job. I have been pretty swamped for a couple of weeks now and that has unfortunately meant that my Mystery zone work has suffered ever so slightly. I am gonna try and do better, because you guys deserve som grade A smut.

i decided to give you a bit of a treat today, with that in mind. I am still working on the bara jam game (which...

bara jam

Those of you who have been part of this Patreon for a while (or follow me on itch.io), know that I take part in Bara jam every year.

It has become kind of a tradition for me, one that I really enjoy.

I have been working on this companion game for Acolytes for a small while now, which made me think, why not combine the two?

This is the reason that I am happy to announce that "Ruins: an acolytes of the Chrystal story" will be my submission for Bara jam this year.

I have ...

Which Vampire would you like to fuck?

Guys, I'm prepping up to make a small vampire-themed game. This doesn't mean that I'll be shirking my responsibilities when it comes to "Acolytes", just that I'm doing a small side project.

The question now becomes, which vampire should I make romanceable, and that is where I need your help. Pick one (or more of these guys), that you'd like to be fuckable in the game

I'm back!

Hey Guys, I am finlly back.

I know that it has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything and that is because I went on a vacation that was much needed (and one of the most fun experiences of m...

Last update in a couple of weeks

Hey guys.

first of all, I wanted to thank you for making the new update of "Acolyes" such a delight. it's great to see so many of you enjoying the new character.

As the title of this post indicates, I will be off for a couple of weeks. I'm going to a festival, so i don't I'll be able to work on the game while covered in mud and grooving to music.

But, I wanted to share the next thing I'm working on before I go.

now, don't worry if you don't recognise either of these ch...

Version 2.7 is finally here

Hey Guys.

I know that it took a while, but the newest version of Acolytes is finally here.

I really want to thank you guys for being so patient and sticking wth me all of these months, since the last update, I really hope the wait is going to be worth it for you guys.

I have been working really hard, as some of you know, and am super proud of this new update. It bring so much new content to the table and even expands the world (which is something I have want...

unexpected productivity

The summer has been kind of hard up until this point, predominantly because it's hard to focus when the weather is amazing outside.

I have been struggling to get anything done, in the blistering heat, which is why I'm so proud of the fact that I actually made some real headway this week.

I am entering the home stretch of development on the cowboy character and whenever I reach the end of a character ark I get this strange burst of energy.

It may have something to do with the...

back again

Hey guys, I'm back.

I hope you missed me, because I definitely missed you guys. It's been nice to have a small break from smut for a second, but now I'm right back and more ready than ever to bring you the good stuff.

The good news is that I have a bunch of new ideas for smut, after my small hiatus and they are smuttier than ever.

I am still working on the cowboy character for now and bringing you some fun with everyone's favorite half-man/half-bull character.

This cha...

Vacation

Hey guys, i’m gonna be on vacation for the next week or so, so there wont be any news about the game.

That Said, i am stil playing around with some new techniques, so i thought id share some paint overs i did using the AI midjourney.

It’ll be a few weeks before i Can share more news about the game, so i hope you’ll beat with me.

Getting back to Denver

I think I have mentioned this before, but one of the most fun things about working on this game is the wealth of characters that I have to work with.

I haven't really made anything huge before, so working with this many characters has been a lot of fun, and getting to revisit them more is always fun.

I have been looking into it and strangely, one of the characters that I keep getting back to is Snake... I know that is not the character on the image, but that is the one that I keep...

Making Bos bottom

One thing I realized, while I was working on this newest update, was that I tend to make our protagonist bottom a lot. I have just come from the Gerdalt update, which was more or less just about the MC bottoming, onto the hero update which wasn't much different.

That is why I decided to switch things up a bit and give out protagonist a chance to get his dick wet for once. The fact that it is a giant bull (almost literally) is just an added bonus.

This was a lot of fun to animate, ...

more rimming please

I have realised something about the game in the last couple of weeks and it's a disturbing lack of rimming scenes. I have a lot of other activities for the payer to engage in, but rimming only has a couple of scenes available.

I can't rectify this issue all at once, I mean these scenes take almost 3 days to do, but I can at least start here. Bos is only the third character to get a scene likes this, but I promise you, he wont be the last.

I am still working hard on this update (Ou...

Giving Crevan some love

I am still hard at work on this next update and as I mentioned, I have been having fun adding as many characters as I can to the story.

This is how I started working on some more scenes with everyones favourite fox/dog/pels character.

This leads me to a bit of an announcement, because you guys know how much I love looking ahead. The update following Bos will focus exclusively on Crevan and will see you helping him with his Chrystal based depression.

You could say that making...

The cowboy is getting more than he bargained for

Hey guys.

It probably doesn't come as much of a surprise to you guys, but I am having a great time making this new update. This will be one of the larger updates coming your way (not as big as Gerdalt, but luckily I won't have to cut this one over in the middle.).

One of the fun things about Bos (pronounces Bós) is that he speaks with a thick accent. I haven't really written anyone with an accent before, so it's a lot of fun throwing around capped words and double negatives with ...

Bringing back some favourites

I am still working on the next update for "Acolytes", which focuses on the cowboy character Bos. 

Some of you may have noticed that the earlier romanceable paths in the game were focused on just one character. So, Prissy, Sunflower, and Fuco gave you sex scenes with only those characters. That is probably gonna change for good.

The Donald update had a couple of extra characters in there for prosperity and so does this new one. I find that writing more characters into these pa...

Making the bull man come to life

I have been working furiously for the last week writing the story of the bull-man (or Bos as he is called in the game). I wanted to expand the world of acolytes a bit in this update and maybe use some of the blank space that is in the game at present.

I wanted to give the Academy of the crystal a bit more life by adding in more Pels characters (so far we only have Crevan) and thereby maybe get the chance to explore what the world that they come from is like.

With that in mind, I t...

I am super late and I'm sorry

hey Guys

I know that I usually update every Friday and that this update is pretty late and for that I am sorry.

The wheel has been spinning these last two years and the pointer finally landed on me, by which I mean I finally got Covid. it sucks of course, but it realæly hasn't been that bad (probably because I am triple vaxed), but it did make me sleep pretty much through the weekend. 

That said, I am back now and really excited to be working on this coming update.

Working on the cowboy

Hey guys, I thought it might be time I gave you something new... and more... furry.

so, the last two updates have been a bit human-centric (that being the hero and the witcher updates), so I thought that I would try and have some fun with this new character. 

This is partially spurred on by the interest in Crevan (people seem to love that dude) and partially because the animation software that I have started using is giving me many more options on how to animate something. 2022-05-14 07:40:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Update 0.2.6 is finally here

Hey Guys.

So, I have finally finished a new update and this one actually introduces a new character (the last one was just the follow-up on the Gerdalt story, so I'm pretty proud of myself).

This update also expands some of the buildings and gives you some new places to explore. The upper floors of the dorm have been closed off for too long and now you can finally get to explore them...

Ok, maybe not fully, but you can get to see what is up there, but there ...

Finishing up and getting ready

It will not come as a shock for those of you who have been following this patreon for a while, but I am a very visual thinker. So, even though I haven't finished the hero update yet, I have already drawn up the next character for the game.

This guy does not have a name yet and I don't really know where he fits into the story either, but he is a lot of fun to draw. All I know is that he is a cowboy, get it? because he's a bull and he has a whole country vibe.

I promise I will give ...

Working on wrapping it up

One of the things that is important when writing characters for acolytes, is that each arc feels unique and substantive. I want the player to feel like there was a point to each arc and that they really got to know that character.

This often means that I end up committing way more time to any one character that I initially thought I would and this happens to be the case for our hero too.

The problem is that I usually plan out an ark as something easy and usually quickly done and t...

The MC revamped

I am still working on getting the hero update put the door and… welll, it has taken a turn.

This update started so innoscently, woth the question “what would a classic superhero do at the academy of the Chrystal” and ended with the MC in a sidekick gettup. I don’t know where this update went off the rails… but it was somewhere eraly on.

All that said, this has been one of the more rediculous and fun update i have worked on to date and i am so excited to get your feedback...

Final sex scene

I have been working on some more supplementary scenes for the hero's path in acolytes. I am doing this because I have realised that some of my previous paths have been a bit sex light (Prissy, I'm looking at you).

I have been trying to give more characters opportunities to get scenes in other characters paths, to make flesh out the game a bit more.

Let me know if there is any characters that you feel like I need to give a sex scene already, because there are some that are still ki...

expanding the world

I have been working on the hero update, as you all know. this is one of the more fun updates I have made, since the hero is a bit... strange.

But I have gotten some opportunities to expand the world of acolytes though his update and it has made me realise that there are so many places that I want for the player to go, that I just haven't had the opportunity to build yet.

This is why I'm starting to look to the next couple of updates to try and figure out how I can expand the world...

Not the only one to get it on

I have been hard at work on the new Hero character for tha past week, but that should not suggest that he is the only character to get it on in the new update.

Actually, having been tinkering with the new piece of animation saftware that I have talked about in other updates has produced the animation you see above.

I am really excited to share how Fuco and our MC ended up in this situation, in the next update. 

In other news: I have also been working on some new Interfa...

Heroes duty

I have a certain love for strange characters, as some of you have probably noticed by now and this new guy is no exception.

Originally I designed him to be a classic super hero type, but as I write more and more of his dialogue, I am finding that he is more fun to write when he's kinda... strange.

I really want to give away the kind of dialogue I'm talking about, but I think that might be a bad idea, since that would rob you guys of the chance to get to know him first hand.

...

New animation technique

Hey guys.

I am finally ready to show you some of the animations made with this new animation technique that I have been working with.

For those of you not in the know, I have been developing a new way of integrating animations into acolytes. This technique uses a software called live2D (mostly used to make Vtube characters), which can run natively in renpy (the engine that I'm using).

What all this technical jargon means, is that I can make more animations more quickly and t...
