Interesting poll results, I wasn't expecting that the huge majority prefers the User Interface of tSoB, especially with it being so different from usual adult games. But I'll take it!
I've been playing around with the cyberpunk setting a bit more but not too much since I am back in the Shadow over Blackmore render grind now. There is a lot of catching up to do because of the laptop display issue, and I am only slowly getting there...
Guys I am currently making some very good renders in terms of the futuristic/dystopian/cyberpunk genre, I've especially improved my low light skills. I am currently collecting stuff left and right for more futuristic dystopian fun, and next I will try animations, so today I have brought a question with me.
Since I think we are getting close to a new game I have to set on the resolution, th...

Ladies and gentlemen, I have my laptop back since yesterday, and it has a brand new display!
Things have been getting boring without it, I am not going to lie. It is a bit worrying how addicted I am to pretty much everything this thing provides (internet, rendering, games etc) but well, it is what it is :). Now it is time to step back into the Daz3d renders, since we have been doing nothing for 2 weeks!
Yeah, so...how was your week guys? Mine was not so good because I still don't have my laptop back. Don't even heard back from the repair crew.
My fear is that they have to order a new display from china or so and shipping will take forever. I mean it has been 5 days since they got it so I guess it is normal and somehow makes me sound like an addict (which I admit I am) :D. Will give them u...

Public Post. First of all Happy Halloween everybody :). Hope you have a spooky start into november!
I am currently without my laptop. It is crazy to think about how much time I spend with this thing. But the display was having issues and since the 2 year warranty is close but not yet expired I had to send it away for repair. The bad part is that I had a halloween futa render and forgot to transfer it. So the only ones that will have it early is the xmg repair crew :(.
Good thing i...

Tried to like the new Vampire the Masquerade game but it just isn't it for me. I cannot say it is bad, part of the combat is even fun, it is just more of an action game than a role playing game...and for me the role playing aspect of it is important. Maybe someone has a recommendation, otherwise I might just start Baldurs Gate for the tenth time, lol :D
I have been going through the timeline of day 5 and where I want to make the cut, it would be 11 encounters with 7-8 of them with spicy...

There isn't much to update you on for this week, other than I will most likely be a bit more distracted than usual. Don't worry, still in my workflow and also back to rendering random artwork to improve my lightwork skills (and big butt shaping skills :D) you can see above :).
As you might know Shadow over Blackmore is inspired by a lot of different things, and one of them is the World of Darkness, particulary the Vampire: Masquerade tabletop game.
I played the Pen and Paper and a...

I have almost all places that I want for the first part of day 5 and i already have done the dream sequence, since I got a very nice looking new gate ;).
The only thing i am still missing is a garage room. A garage room that has been made into a mini hospital or an examination room. Will be a lot of fun if I can pull it off!
I am also finally back at rendering some random artwork! I ...

With the public release of 0.4.8 we consider the update done for now since there are no gamebreaking bugs apart from the saving issue (the update does not function properly if you've had a previous save during the "someone knocks on your door" scene) ... and i can't do much about that apart from warning you guys.
Now, the mc is back in his bed and is about to wake up on Day five, marking halftime ;). Since I don't want to make smaller days in terms of content b...

Ok, I kind of forgot how long it takes to upload these files, but here we go! Shadow over Blackmore 0.4.8 is now available to the public!

Hey, if you could share this link and make some noise for the release it would be amazing! It is still harder than ever to get some visibility for the project because of the messy payment processor situation. You al...

...sorry, currently travelling, there won't be any real update today. Shadow over Blackmore will be public on wednesday, when I'm back home, so you got it exclusive for another 3 days :). The version will still be 0.4.8 but some minor bugs with the memory room will be fixed.
After the public release I will start working on Day 5. That day will be split in two parts, and in the first part of the day you will be returning to the tower :).
Will make another post on wednesday so unti...

I am still bugfixing the current version and have to add the memory room for the new scenes! There seems to be a bug when you have saved very late into day 4, your old saves can't access 2 of the 3 scenes. Because of that I still have to do some fixing, hopefully it will be done next week! Anyway, the new 0.4.7 update is now available for the gamer tier as well and next week for all supporters:

...sorry, just real quick so that no one is waiting: Most of you already guessed it: the tSoB update is not coming today. I know I said either sunday or wednesday...but I still have quite a lot of dialog to do so I cannot guarantee the wednesday date...but i am trying!
I am still aiming for wednesday, tomorrow I have some rl stuff to do so pls don't be angry if I need a few days more to finish it. It is so you can enjoy the game when you play it, not to annoy you. So we...

Somehow in the middle of august the summer heat is coming back. Damn! But luckily I've already finished all the pictures, busts and animations. Next week is a busy one for me but I am still confident that I can implement a lot of dialog. Dialog is now the only thing that is missing and I've already started. Normally it takes a month...
...but while the render picture count is almost the same as an e...

Alright, let us talk about the update only and not about all the visa/mastercard censorship stuff that is still going on because that only affects my mood in a negative way:
Finally officially done with all the renders for the upcoming update. Had to rerender some busts for the small demons that you encounter (you might recognize them) since I weirdly messed up proportions, but all good now. 80% of all animations already converted into videos, will have them all done next week. Render p...

Alright, lots of stuff to talk about:
It is august and thankfully things are not looking so grim anymore. I managed to unflag all my games and while still excluded from search at least for now you can download them. Itch.io has now given the option to include the games in the search if there is no option to support them monetary
Currently...

It's earlier than usual for the weekly post, this time it is public because it is very important. Some of you might not be aware, but there is a lot going on in the adult gaming niche. I would go as far to call it another purge, with some forces really trying to shut adult (gaming) creators down once and for all, it seems.
Some of you have supported and/or followed the adult games movement for such a long time that they remember the time when a lot of creators disappeared forever becaus...

This week wasn't the most productive. I need at least another week to finish the renders of the farm. Especially the milking station (as you can see above) has a lot of different lights in different places so the render time is long with all the reflective latex. And I haven't rendered all the scenes with other ponies yet (more chars in the scene always means more render time plus more setup time), so let us hope to get it finished this week, before it gets to out of hand in terms of size, be...
