Help me out by leaving a 5 star review

Guys, I hate to do this, because it feels a bit needy, but I would really like for more people to play Acolytes.

I am very proud of the game and I am more than happy that all of you have decided to pledge money to the development (seriously, I can't thank you enough).

This is why I am asking you now to please share the game where you feel that you can and please leave a 5 star review on the itch.io page, so that people may find the game on that site.

I really appreciate all ...

Version 0.2.3 is finally here

Hey Guys.

The fifth update is finally here and I am really excited for you to play it. This update was interesting because it introduced a new character, and with that character came a host of new unforeseen issues. That is partly why the build took a couple of extra days to get out, but it is here now.

Story:

This update introduces Prissy, a young elf who is obsessed with fashion. They live in the room next to the protagonist and will ask y...

A small delay

​Hey guys

There is a new update on its way, as I have been saying for a couple of updates now. I am really excited for you to play this new chapter of the game, but I'm gonna have to ask you to be patient.

The update is actually done, but I need a couple of extra days to do bug fixes and make sure that the update is up to the standard that I like to release them.

I am really sorry about this but believe me, the update will be out as soon as I can put the finishing touches ...

Update up next

Alright, there is only a week left until the next update for acolytes is going to be available. I am really looking forward to hearing what you think about this update, because this one is a bit of a gamble.

Talking about gambles, I wanted to share the next sexscene that I have added to this next update, this time with Chance.

I really love that character and felt like it was about time t...

More sex scenes

I have been working on some more NSFW stuff with Prissy this week, to make sure that you guys get a fully romanceable character for the next update.

I am starting to get a sense of the scope of these by-monthly updates and what I can accomplish in that time. 

That hopefully means that I'll be able to plan these much more tightly in the future and tell you beforehand what kind of content that I'm gonna include.

I say this because I know that I have been a bit lose with t...

More sex scenes

One of my goals for Acolytes is for there to be a new romancable character for each update. I really want for you to be able to get to know (and fuck) someone new every-time you play the game after an update.

I have been working on the character Prissy really intensely, to that end. I am super happy with the direction that the character is going and I cannot wait for you to be able to play them.

I really think that this romanceable path if going to be one of a kind.

So, that...

One Day late

So, I made a promise to myself that I would update you every Friday, and this week I fell short of that promise. I know that I'm only one day behind, but still a promise is a promise.

That being said, I am still working on the game, so I do have some things to share.

Firstly: 

I am working on prissy's path and trying to flesh out the character as much as I can. It has been a moment since I have had to write a character like Prissy, so the going is slow, here in the begi...

working on a survival teacher

I am working on a character to teach survival at "The academy of the chrystal".

This character should be inspired by the character Geralt from the Netflix show "The Witcher". So my question to you is, which of these outfits to you most associate with the witcher?

What you asked for

I asked you what you which character you wanted to have extra scenes with fin the next build, a couple of weeks back and the answer came back: Denver.

Well, technically it was a tie, between Crevan and Denver, but I have some larger plans for Crevan in an upcoming update, so I thought I would focus on Denver for this one.

Mind you, You will not be getting a full romanceable path for him this time, but there are going to be some scenes to hold you over. The scene above is maybe the...

Animating

I have been working on some naughty scenes for The new character Prissy. The idea here is for them to be romanceable (read fuckable) as early in the game as possible.

I thought I would share a bit of my process this week, which is why I shared a screenshot from blender (which is where I animate the sex scenes). 

The process for adding anything into the game usually includes me drawing the character, their backgrounds, and probably a couple of sex scenes, before I start writin...

Prissy's room

I am still working on the new character for the game called Prissy. For this week I have been trying to flesh the character out a bit and give them a room in the dorms.

Prissy is a bit of a fashion design (if all of the outfits that I uploaded last week weren't a clue), so I filled their room with all kinds of fashion stuff. Prissy Filters everything through their passion for fashion, so get ready to wear some crazy shit in the game.

I truly cannot wait for you guys to play this n...

Prissy

Hey guys.

so, I am already hard at work on the next update and part of that is making a new character for you to interact with.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Prissy.

Prissy is another student who studies at the "academy of the Chrystal". Their superpower is to manipulate fabrics and they use that power to create amazing garments for themselves (and possibly for the player character as well).

My plan is to have Prissy's arc playable in the ...

next romanceable character

guys, I am working on the next update and I would like to hear from you, which established character should I be making a romance path for first?

Version 0.2.2 if finally here

Hey Guys.

The fourth update of acolytes is finally here and I absolutely cannot wait for you guys to play it. Making this update was fun because it was the first update to be released after I was more or less finished with the main storyline (there is still an ending to write, but we're not talking about that). So, without further ado, let's get into some specifics.

Story:

This update introduces a new romanceable character called Sunflower. ...

The flower

So we are one week out from the release of the next update and I cannot wait to let yo play it.

"Acolytes of the Chrystal" is, at this point, the most ambitious thing I have ever created and I  am actually pretty proud of it.

But my feelings towards the game is probably not what you're asking yourself about right now, because there is a duck flower at the top of this post.

Well, believe it or not, this is what most of the Sunflower ark is going to revolve around. This p...

More sex scenes

I have gotten to the fun part of the next update, where I have started adding in some sex scenes... Like actual penetrative sex.

I try as best I can to make sure that there is a wide variety of character in the game and I am trying to make sure that each character has a wide variety of sexual option (both sex and foreplay).

This means that I have to make a lot of animation (which are really fun to make) and further more figure out the context for the fucking.

This entire upd...

some NSFW goodies

I am still hard at work on the next update and I am still slating it for a mid june release, but I have to be honest, this is one of the more difficult updates.

Part of that has to do with the extra content I am putting into the game, but part of it has to do with the fact that this is the first update where the game is large.

With all the other pieces of the game put into place (the beginning, the world building, the stealing of the Chrystal), I now have to populate the world wit...

New characters

So, I have been working on some new characters for Acolytes. I refer to these characters as the "Extras" since that is the function that they will serve in the story.

That is to say, these characters will not be romanceable, but they will be interactable. These are all random students that you will get to meet around the school, all with a specific and well defined personality.

These guys will pop iup as part of the Sunflower mission, so I cannot wait for you to meet them and I am...

Working on The new character

So, last week I showed you this guy, who's name is Sunflower. I wanted to show you guys a bit more of the work that I have been doing for the character this week.

These are both still from animations featuring this character.

These two sex scenes will come at different times during his path in the game and there are even more to come.

Suffice it to say, this guy will have a quite extensive path with a lot of options, twists and turns.

I seriously cannot wait for you gu...

New character

So, as you have probably guessed by now, each new update will come with at least one new romanceable character. For the last update, that character was Fuco, the large Ord art-teacher, and for this update the character will be Sunflower.

So, let me tell you a little bit about the character Sunflower:
Sunflower is a student at the academy of the Chrystal, who is able to make plants grow to in...

New character

One of my major missions with this game is to create a wealth of characters that the player can get to know , so I am so happy to be able to announce that there will be at least one new character in the next update.

I'm not gonna say too much about the character just now, but I will tell you that his power is to make thing grow and he has no control over that power.

This character will also be the first fully romanceable character after Fuco from last update, so get ready to have ...

Adding more of the good stuff

Hey guys, I thought it might be time for another update, seeing as almost a week has passed since the release of the 3rd update to the game.

As you can probably tell from the image above, I have been working on some more sex scenes for the game, since those are some of the more fun parts of the game.

This one is kind of hidden, so I can't wait to see if you'll be able to find it when the next update hits.

update 2.1 is finally here

Hey guys.

the wait is finally over and the 3rd update of "Acolytes of the Chrystal" is now finally live. This Particular update has taken a while to do because there was quite a bit of exposition that needed to be taken care of, but from this point forward, the exposition is done. Now we can just get down to the good stuff (NSFW stuff).

Here is a breakdown of everything that is in this update:

Story:

This Update pics up where the last ...

One week away

firstly, I just want you guys to know that I am working hard on getting the next update out the door, but these things take time. That said, we are now 1 week away from the release of the third update.

I am happy to say that this update will feature a lot more of the good NSFW stuff that you like, plus two new characters for you to play with.

This is also the release that takes the overall story in a whole new direction.

"Acolytes of the Chrystal" is one of the largest proje...

NSFW posts

Guys, I have a few NSFW animations backlogged that I thought I could share with you on here, but I just need to know if you'd be into that kind of thing. do you want to see NSFW content, even if it's just in development?

the big shift

The coming update (vers. 0.21) contains the final part of the exposition and therefore the big world changing event.

This is an event that will see everthing turned on its head and from this point forward nothing will be as it once was. This is the one that you have been waiting for.

Personally, I can't wait for you to see this event unfold and I have kinda considered the game in pre-production until this event comes into the picture.

in other words, this is the point at whi...

Working on the artist

It has taken me w while, but I have finally finished setup of the game. By this I mean all of the exposition that surrounds the world of Acolytes.

This means that I and now start working on the meat of the game: the characters.

I have to be honest, I have kinda been looking forward to this game, since making the romancable characters is going to be the fun part of the game.

This also means that I'll be able to add much more sex into the game, which I think is what we are all...

the end of everything

I am still working on the third update to "acolytes" and this update comes with a huge shakeup to the entire game.

Yep these are images of the portal that we know and love after a cataclysmic event takes place.

What is this event, well you'll have to wait and play the third update to find out. 

I hope to be able to have the third update ready sometime in april. I am certainly working hard to make the game ready by then.

Let me know if there is something that you w...

some naughty bits

So, last week was really all about adding in the new Gui and rereading the parts that I have already written.

While all of the work that I did last week is important and while I'm not mad that I did it, it does feel good to get back to the actual development again and do some real work on the game again.

What you see here is the start of the first NSFW scene for the 3rd update of Acolytes. This happens between a new character named Fuco Depingo and our lovely protagonist.

Fu...

Revised second update

Guys, I'm sorry...

I have been working on the third update of the game, as you probably know and that took a turn.

So much of a turn in fact, that I had to go back to the second update and make one change major change.

What does this mean?

Changes:

There is really only one major change as of right now, which is that our protagonist now has a different motivation, which moves the plot forward.

Where he was an archaeologist before, he is ...
