Hey guys! Just a quick update, I edited the link in the prior post so the build has now moved from Beta 0.9.9 to Beta 0.9.91.
There was a leftover NPC that was used for debugging and if she was interacted with, it could potentially ruin save progress. Apologies for the inconvenience but hopefully all is well now!
If you find any other glitches or oddities, be sure to report them to me over on the Discord. Thank you!!

Hey guys! Here's the latest build for Town of Passion!
As usual: Please do not distribute this build with others until the build has gone PUBLIC on Oct 29th. Thank you!
As a quick reminder, this build is more of a mini-update so the content is much shorter to complete. I just wanted to give you guys something fun for the Halloween season ;) Don't forget to check out ProfessorF's own Patreon page as this build helps show case his own OC, A...

Before the new mini-update drops, I want to detail a few gameplay changes so you know where to begin:
== Rope ==
Evelynn's shop now sells rope. This consumable item can be used to build access points if there's something to tie it to. There is a new rope knot that you can find in Valencia that could be tied to one!
== Purple Boundary ==
To keep every Boundary consistent, they all require their respective colored stone to open. The Purpl...

Since the early days of planning Town of Passion, I've wanted this game to have a lot of substance; a lot to do and find.
Working in game design and working with artists, I've gained a much better grasp on time management and knowing where to set my expectations since a year ago.
One thing I want to test, starting with 0.9.9 is the addition of occasional 'echo' scenes (yes, Smash reference). These are scenes that are much more efficient to create and serve as palette swaps of...

Hey guys! Time for another update!
This month will be a little special as there's a mysterious new visitor who has found herself lost in Valencia....
Beta 0.9.9 will be about fun cross-over event that will feature a very important character not originally from the Town of Passion world! This build is more of an extra piece before Beta 1.0 so it will be a smaller scale update but should still be a very fun collaboration between myself and ProfessorF! I'm excited to share...

Thanks to Draculair Vania for making it! It's located up at the top of the page under the "Walkthrough 2" link.
I want to mention there are still finer details that are being worked on and fixed up but overall, if you're stuck anywhere, you should be able to find your way with the help of these two guides!
Thank you all immensely for your support! I'll...

Hey guys!
Town of Passion - Beta 0.9.1 is here! This build is all about adventuring with Evelynn and learning a bit more about Valencia's history. There are some important tweaks in 0.9.1 from 0.9 so if you played the previous version, there may be some interested additions/teasers if you're a fan of lore and other fun details.

2018-10-01 14:40:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Just wanted to make a quick update since this is probably some of the most common feedback I've heard.
The strength trial to unlock pushing boulders has been stopping many from progressing.
The trial will be patched in the next update so it's a bit easier to complete. This update should be coming out on Monday with the public release as there is a bit of bonus stuff that I'm adding to the build/tweaking.

I've tested this build a bunch piece by piece but there's always that feeling that I forgot something. If you notice something off, please let me know! Don't forget to save frequently in case of crashes or sequence breaks.

The time for Beta 0.9 is coming very soon so I wanted to make sure I clarified the release date!
ToP Beta 0.9 is scheduled for a release for $5+ Patrons on Sept 28th* and a public release on Oct 1st!
*(Maybe Sept 27th? If I can get it done in time!)

Surprisingly, the Beta 1.0 option took a sizable lead over the '0.9.5' option despite it starting off the other way around.
I've decided that the Beta 1.0 will be the next build! This was the original plan so things work out a bit better this way.
KEEP IN MIND: The planned contents for '0.9.5' will STILL happen! I just don't know exactly when. It ...

One thing I often struggle with when planning new builds is balancing the fun seasonal/'bonus' content with main story content. I figured this time it would be best to gauge off of your guys' feedback as well!
I'll detail both poll options:

Two bonus costumes for two popular women with new scenes. Would release in late October. Minimal story content but two cameo costumes that ...

Currently there are two different styles of art/animation that are occurring in Town of Passion:
1- ProfessorF's art & 3D animation
-Prof draws his own scenes, and then uses a pretty complicated 3D animation technique to create some very impressive animations.
2- MuffyMidnights art & RenatoSs's animation 2018-08-25 00:34:12 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys! Got a small update today with something I'm pretty excited about!
Nearly all costumes/characters are made by me using RPG Maker's built in character creator. It's handy, but the choices are limited so I'm often forced to work with strict design choices. Costumes are especially tricky.
Recently I found an artist named Rivet who was interested in doing some sprite work/edits for me! He's gone in and already done a TON of work editing older characters/costu...

Town of Passion Beta 0.8 will release for $5+ Patrons on July 27th and for the public on July 30th!

Nothing like a good ol' stretch before work right? That's all that's going on here...
I asked on Discord if the $3+ Patrons prefer getting actual teases of new scenes or if you just want to be straight up spoiled with the actual sketches/finished products (in moderation). Let me know your thoughts. Discord consensus was tease but if there's a strong voice for full blown spoilers, maybe I'll mix it up sometimes.

For the longest time, if you've talked to me or read my posts on Discord, you've probably seen me mention that Town of Passion will have a moderately deep story!
Now that more of the main girls are having their 'routes' finalized, we can start diving into the main story itself in the nearest couple of builds!
The premise is that there are two parallel routes.
1. Passion: Interacting with Minerva and helping save those in need
2. Lust: Following...
