As you can see, Angelica's story starts off pretty good.

Said skills do in fact pay the bills if you were curious

Screenshots for the Bonus Stories

I'll be uploading some screenshots from Madeline and Miyu's bonus stories over the next couple of days as I finalise their programming. Angelica's story is being edited and then I'll be able to start putting it into the game.

Here's just a couple of shots of the new title screen and the "Bonus Stories" button found in the Extras menu so you'll know where to find it.

Progress Report - June

I woke up this morning and realised I forgot to do this yesterday. Sorry about that. This one will be a little wordy than May.

Finished Miyu's chapter earlier in June and I'm glad it's finally done. Much harder chapter to write then I thought it would be but Margo said it looks great so I hope the Miyu fans enjoy it.

Angelica's is going slowly but that is mainly because I'm taking my time with it. Rapid firing off full short stories like this after spending a year and a half working on the main story has left me pretty burnt out. I'm excited at the idea of finishing this project and taking a break. Maybe even enjoy the summer a little this year.

Angelica's art was finished recently and came out great. It also serves as the final piece of art for the game! (I'm not sure if altering the logo for the dlc release counts as art for the game but it sounds more fancier to end on a CG scene so we'll go with that.)

In terms of writing for Angelica's chapter, I'm having some fun experimenting with stuff a little bit. She was always the least popular character so it was the perfect opportunity to try something I haven't done before in character writing. It'll probably be a little rough because it's my first time but it should work out. I figured most people were either going to skip her chapter anyhow or just do it for the sake of completion. The people that read it now you get to be left wondering "Huh..." when they're done haha

It's been awhile since I had reported anything of the MA front and it looks like after a rough spring, things are moving forward again. We have plans to get a few updates out this summer and should help shape how that project is looking for the rest of the year. I've been spending the week working on getting the next update out soon.

Other than that, I'm just gaming a little here and there. I've started finding small, indie rpg maker games to study what the engine is like and what can be done with it. I'll be continuing that after the dlc is released and figure out my next project sometime in the fall I think.

Thanks for continuing to stick around another month. The next monthly update should be pretty boring if everything gets finished this month. I doubt one of these will ever be short though. It'll probably still just be my rambling on like an old man but with less interesting topics. Look forward to it!

Good news for all you Angelica fans out there. Her bonus CG is in.

Progress Report - May

I feel like this one will be short but I also feel like I say that a lot haha

Early May saw the completion of Madeline's chapter to much rejoicing on my part.

Later in the month saw the struggle that will be Miyu's chapter beginning haha

It was a rocky start trying to find a rhythm for them and a couple rough weekends haven't helped timewise but it's making slow progress. Hopefully I can finish it in the next couple of weeks so I can switch gears into figuring out Angelica's chapter.

It should be noted that it will be shorter (word count wise) than Madeline's chapter just simply because of their personalities. Maddie's a chatter box and takes awhile to get to the point, Miyu will get to the point and then run away. Two different styles, two different word count finals. Just the way story telling is sometimes. Angelica will probably be in line with Miyu's word count for the same reason.

Other than that, the Miyu art was posted not too long ago and, overall, my January road map is still looking good. Should be a summer release for these chapters.

Not too much else is happening outside of just work and writing really.

Thanks for reading and supporting this month. See you next month when I'm probably crying and regretting writing for Angelica haha

Here's our ultra innocent girl showing it all. Outside too! She's come so far haha

Progress Report - April

This will be the new format for news moving forward while we're between releases.

April was nice. The year was very hectic with January and March's updates being late, finding a new artist, getting the trailer and steam page up and running, etc. I was really glad to just get a month to relax a little.

I played some games, got some writing done, had headache after headache because April sucks. You know, all the usual things.

Maddie's chapter is going well. I'm 20,000 words into it (Average chapter in My Catgirl Maid was 10,000 words) and it should be wrapping up within a few thousand more words.

There's a couple of things to note about these chapters now that I've had the chance to work on them.

One: It's been awhile since I've written a short story like this so I hope the pacing is alright. It's like going back to movies after watching seasons of TV shows for a long time. All the story elements are there, just faster. Thankfully, the chapters will mostly just be fluff pieces.

And two: I'm not putting in any choices in these chapters. I want to tell the best fluff story I can and trying to jam choices into an already small format isn't going to do anything or be entertaining. I figure we're all just here to see a little more of the characters anyhow.

On the art front, Toxicguest finished the Maddie CG and will begin work on the Miyu one. I figure we'll get a scene once a month as it fits his commission schedule well. So the upper tiers can expect to see the innocent Miyu in an non-innocent fashion by the end of May.

Other than that. I'm just waiting for the damn allergies to go away and the weather to stop sucking so I can get rid of these damn headaches too.

Thank you for continuing to follow me. See you all next month with the next update.

Maddie Bonus CG Preview

Not going to lie... It's a little weird to see her naked. She seems so innocent, you know? haha Miyu and Angelica are going to be strange as well.

Anyways, a little preview to the CG scene that will appear in Maddie's bonus episode. The scene in the game will obviously have more expression changes and I'll pick out which ones when I'm programming it so you'll have to stay tuned for that.

Steam Release

My Catgirl Maid Thinks She Runs the Place is now on Steam.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1582890/My_Catgirl_Maid_Thinks_She_Runs_the_Place/

You can also find a walkthrough in the Guides section of the Community Hub too if you need one.

Thank you to everyone that was supporting the project through its development. Be sure to drop by the Steam page and leave a review if you can!

Thank you

Steam Page and Friday Reminder

My Catgirl Maid Will Always Think Long Titles Are Funny has steam page now. It's a minimum 2 weeks before it can release so Apr 14 is the release date. Here's the page so you can throw it on your wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1582890/My_Catgirl_Maid_Thinks_She_Runs_the_Place/

I'd also like to remind everything that I'm doing a formal, ask me anything sitdown on discord this Friday. It'll be around 7:30-8:00pm EST. It'll be a good chance to get some trivia about the characters and provide more information on my future moves. I hope to see you there as I'll probably be embarrassing myself over voice chat haha

Phase 2 and the Future

Cool title, right?

Ok. This is going to be both brief and long as I'll try to keep everything to the point but there's a lot to go over. Each section will start with its subject in quotes though so you can skim to the part you're interested in first at least.

1) "Bonus Chapters" - Release date: TBD. Honestly, I haven't had too much time to think about them. March was hell and I wanted to get the game finished and the Steam shit done first. I have worked out the basics of a Madeline story though and if I were to describe its length, it would be the hour long special to a normal chapters regular episode size. I won't know until I write it though. 

I'll also be releasing them as a patreon exclusive/paid DLC package with all of them in it. This is just a standard business move so I can put together a budget for my next project. Some people wanted to support me as well but didn't want to do the monthly payment of patreon. Think of this as a tip jar thing. You can play the game for free or throw me a little money as a thank you and get a little extra.

2) "Next Project" - For my next project, I want to try creating something in RPG Maker. It'll be a fantasy adventure game with my usually assortment of slightly troubled and weird characters. It'll also feature no lewd/erotic/nsfw content as I feel it just doesn't fit with what I want to do. There won't be any romance so having it there would just feel weird to me. I'll have more details on it after the bonus chapters are done as I'm trying to remain focused on one story at a time.

3) "My Catgirl Maid Universe" - A question I'm sure a few people have is "Will I return to the My Catgirl Maid universe?" Yes. I barely scratched the surface on Katulinia and the catgirl world in general and have all my notes filed away for when it's time to come back. 

When I come back, it will be to focus on the catgirl world itself and probably be from an early time in their history. I would also be exploring new characters as Cynthia, Madeline, Miyu and the MC have had their time.

4) "Future Lewd Content" - I'm on the fence about leaving behind making lewd content in the future. I've made 3 games in the field and I'm not enjoy my time making them anymore. I think a break from it will help determine how I feel about it and whether I decide to continue making erotica or not.

5) "Steam Release" - I finished the steam page today and submitted it for review so in a few days I'll know if there is anything to fix. I still need a trailer and that's been going slow because of other stuff. Once I get the page published, it's a minimum 2 weeks before the game can be released on the format. I'll keep everyone informed when I get the page up and running.

6) "Patreon Page Future" - With "My Catgirl Maid" finished and me just announcing that I'm leaving lewd content behind for a little while, I'm sure there are a few supporters who will move on. I understand completely so don't worry about me. Let me take this moment to thank you for your financial support during the development of the game as it really helped me. I don't think I could have finished the game without people helping me out so thank you very much and I hope you find another game to support that you enjoy.

For the people staying, the switch to a different type of game and format will mean that the tiers will need adjusting. Please don't hesitate to make suggestions as I'll just be making this shit up as I go. However way we can customise this to make it a fun experience, I want to do that. So no social anxiety allowed. PM me some suggestions if you have them haha

That's it. Honestly, thank you very much everyone for sticking with me through this project. It's nice to have an audience shaking their head at my BS again haha

Take care!

Ch12 Public Release and Game Completion

Sorry for the delay. Thank you very much for your patience throughout this last month. The game has been uploaded to all the usual spots.

Later today, I'll post some news concerning Phase 2 of production. Essentially, just addressing some of the obvious questions about the bonus chapters and future content. I just need to look into one thing real quick here.

Anyways, please enjoy and thank you very much for supporting me throughout the process of making this game. It really means a lot to me to have you guys here. Thank you!

Q&A Sitdown

Something I want to do in the near future is do a big sit down and do those "ask me anything" things on discord. 

With the final chapter coming out and the bonus chapters and the next project in planning stage, it might be a fun way to go back and get some trivia about some of the chapters, ask about the production side of things including behind the scene stuff and the development of characters and the world or just discuss the future of how things should be done on patreon.

I was planning on doing the "A Look Back" series for this game but after a couple of attempts, it wasn't to my liking and I feel like this would be a better substitute for it. I want to involve the fans more and a bunch of written posts won't accomplish that.

I'm aiming for Friday, April 2nd as the day for this. It'll be a week after the public release so everyone will have a chance to try out the different endings and such. 7pm EST will be the start time but it can be changed a little if it helps some people's time zones.

Link to the discord is in the "About Me" section under the "My Membership" if you haven't joined already.

Thank you.

Release Schedule for Ch12

You have no idea how relieving it is to create this post. Thank you all for your patience. The patreon releases of the chapter have started so we can finally get the finale released this month.

Schedule is as follows:

$10 tier - Wednesday, March 17th

$5 tier - Sunday, March 21st

Public - Wednesday, March 24th

Ch12 Patreon Release

Now available for the $5 tier

Thank you very much for your patience during this unfortunate month. The final chapter is finally released.

I know a lot of people will probably want to restart from the beginning but I highly recommend you continue from your last save and finish the run to see what ending you got. There is 4 different endings: 2 Good, 1 Neutral and 1 Bad. 

See what you get this time because you might want to try something different next playthrough.

Also, please report any bugs. I've gone through it like crazy but I've also been losing my mind this month so something had to slip through. Hopefully nothing game breaking.

Thank you.

As always, copy and paste the full link into the address bar to save you all that "needs a key" nonsense".
