You can see the open-world and a lot of new stuff here, so I hope you enjoy. When the open-world opens up, I suggest you go to Tsuneko's tower first, though you can visit Aina too. I also recommend a save before you return to the tower ...

I'm working on giving more open-world options in the next update (like the Galaxy Map), so I hope to have that ready in a week or so. Thanks for the patience, guys!

Pokemon: Sapphire the Ticklee!

Hello, it's been a really busy week for me (I was knocked out for 2 days due to a bad cough + cold combo), so I regret to say that progress this week on the game was not substantial. 

But I didn't just come with excuses, worry not! There's a side project I've been working on, a revival of my previous Pokemon series 'Sapphire the Ticklee (and occasional tickler)', which was a spiritual sequel to my 'Gold the Tickler' series. I first worked on those series over five years ago, and it...

Reducing Prices for Sneak Peekers

Hello, just an update that I'm reducing the price of the Sneak Peekers tier (people who can see current builds of the latest game on a weekly basis) from $20 to $17. It's just always felt a bit much to me, and this change seems a bit fairer.

Anyway, expect a new update in a few days involving Brandon's new mentor and the first of his first rival. Have a good weekend, everyone :)

Intro to Episode 15!

Hi, here's the quick intro to Episode 1 featuring a quick little scene with everyone's favourite blonde.

For the new Patrons, what I usually do is try to release a snippet like this every week of recent game design progress. These snippets will be for the tier above gamer, so the $20 tier now. However, at the start of each month, I will release the most up to date snippet for all at the gamers tier to say thank you for supporting me for another month.

Because I know thi...

Episode 15 News and first ideas for Episode 16!

Hello, and happy early Halloween, everyone!

I just thought I’d update you on Episode 15 and future plans for Episode 16, because creativity is an unbridled horse that gallops wherever it pleases.

For Episode 15, the upcoming ninja game, progress has gone well! I’m still ironing out the kinks of a short little introductory scene that shows the new characters and systems in the game (and having a bit of rest from the fatigue of an episode release by playing Darkest Dungeon), but...

Now that the dust has (kinda) settled

Dear all,

Now that Episode 14 is in the books, perhaps now’s a good time to reflect a little on it and think about the next Brandon and Cissy adventure, Episode 15!

I had a lot of fun with Episode 14. It was a real challenge figuring out the new game engine and combat system. I had a lot of fun with certain set pieces, like the Noveria infiltration and the Coruscant murder investigation. The brig was a ton of fun to write and design too.

But I think it had its flaws. The p...

Episode 14 Released!

Alright, here it is! This has been tested rather considerably, but as an open-world game, a few bugs might have slipped through, so please let me know if you encounter any and I'll try to sort them out ASAP! Thanks very much again and enjoy, everyone :)

If you're lost, this map may come in handy. A reminder that the starting point is always near Gelos. https://sta.sh/01r52oeybtsl

Do you think you need a map for Episode 14?

Would you like an additional map for use in the upcoming game? (Like an additional .jpg you could download) Or do you think it's not needed?

Update: sounds like a lot of you guys like the idea! So here's a map I whipped up of all the main quest areas. It'll be bundled together with the game later. https://sta.sh/01r52oeybtsl 

Adjusting Prices

Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me in the game developing process. Can't believe I'm about to release my 14th episode, which is my biggest yet! And these games have really been growing in length and scale with every one. 

It's because of this that I think the prices need to be adjusted a little, since as the games increase in complexity, I find myself investing more time, energy, and resources (like the new game engine) into completing them, as well a...

Episode 14 Release Information

Hello, all, and happy October!

Firstly, I'm happy to share with you Noveria, the third and final questline before the big showdown with the Illusive Girl.

There's a new mechanic here that I've never used before in any of my games, and I'm really pleased with how it came out, so I hope you guys enjoy it. In this snippet, there is also the long-deserved ticklish comeuppance of Admiral Mikhailovich after the post-Noveria part :D

(Just don't be confused by the strange post-battl...

I've had some strange reports of bugs from my testers , so please do let me know if you find any.

Episode 15 Poll Results + AMA?

Hello, would just like to report that it seems the Ninja game is the breakaway winner for the upcoming episode! I'm quite pleased to hear it, as I've already sketched out a few plot elements. It may change, but this is what I've got so far: 

For the plot, I was a tighter focus on the twins this time (I feel Cissy got a bit neglected due to all the party members in this episode, tbh), so the start is going to involve a training montage involving some ninja powers like speed and clim...

As usual, I have several intriguing options, all of which will probably become games at some point. I’ve provided a short summary alongside each one. All four will likely have open-world elements and a main hub to explore.

Personally, I like the first option the most, but it’s thanks to you guys supporting me that I have time to do this, so ...

Episode 14: Omega, Bounties 1-4, Brig Update

Hello, everyone!

Here's the update I shared last week with the $15+ tier people. Really big update this time around! Firstly, the main storyline involving the planet Omega is fully completed in this one.

I've also finished 4 of the 5 bounty sidequests and accompanying tickle scenes. I've also taken the liberty of unlocking the brig/lab scenes for you so you could all see them. There are around 15 new tickle scenes here, including 5 that are multiple choice :)
