v0.38 Deluxe!

Two pieces of news going with the Deluxe version! I'm afraid the graphic designer I worked with ran into a lot of personal trouble, and it's unclear whether we'll be able to continue or if I should find someone else. Fingers crossed!

I worked a lot more on refining the Completionist's Map, and it's now expanded with the latest content and gone through some rigorous bugfixing! You may have had issues with some entries not being "discovered" properly, but that should be all fixed now. View Post

Lith's Diary - December

Dear Diary,
The year is drawing to a close, and I guess that means it's time to look back and figure out how we did! For me personally, this was a pretty big year of throwing myself out there, taking risks, and trying to get into a better place in several ways. It's mostly worked pretty well! For a while there I had a sense that I was trapped kinda stagnating in a place I didn't want to be, but I think that in a way, it's more like I was getting ready for this moment, gathering my strength...

v0.38+ Advance Release!

So this release is a little complicated! I've been working a little less on chunks of new writing and more on features and programming and lots of little fiddly bits. Lemme try and sum up the new stuff you'll have access to real quick.

Making your choice through the Steel Door now has an effect on a lot of the rest of the game. One subtly modifies a lot of sex scenes, and the other adds a few small chunks of new content in early game areas.

I've added portraits for the Glass Doo...

Monthly Mini-Update for December!

Oof! This one has been a bit unusual. Most of my time the past couple weeks was focused more on backend coding and developing new features that turned out more programming-intensive than I'm used to. Let me break down what's going on with this version.

First off, the content added in the last MMU has been integrated into the game where it belongs. You can now finish that whole side storyline as intended.

Second, I've started adding the content I was hinting at with Lith's behavi...

Monthly Mini-Update for November!

This is the post-update MMU, and that means the Diamond Door is available again! Through here, you'll be seeing the final leg of the "side quest" with our little friend behind the wooden door.

Please take note! There is some intense and disturbing content in this update. It will be clearly marked and behind a choice, so it's up to you to decide if you're comfortable checking that branch of the story. You'll have to go back and start again to see both options through.

Lith's Diary - November

Dear Diary,
Well. I talked a big game of doing well and balancing your life last month, and this month that's kinda gone out the window a little. Partly I got a little swept up in taking time off to relax after I finally got most of my work done, and partly I went and got sick right when I really needed to get to work again. I ended up falling off the wagon with some of my good habits, and it's been really hard getting myself to focus on getting into the right place mentally again. Can't l...

A Face for Every Occasion

I was putting together the updated Art Archive and realized I didn't put up previews for these! It was an incredible headache working with Mz Nite to fine tune all of these, I never realized how tough it could be to get an expression just right. I think I might edit them a little more myself before putting them in the game, actually. These are all done up custom to be used as "in the moment" expressions for Lith, and I hope t...

v0.38 Poll!

Alright! Last time, you guys voted to add the variant to Imitation Soda for cat avatars. I've added a new option to replace that and we can run the vote again. I'm still experimenting with seeing what works well here, and I'll be interested to see what you guys vote for. I may remove some of the least-voted for options and find more stuff along the lines of what's popular to put in instead down the road.

First, here's a quick rundown of each option.

Whoops again!

So, turns out in implementing the Map I left in one more bug I really should have seen coming, and forgot to test for. Meaning, you couldn't load files from old versions with these copies. Sorry, guys! I knew I was wiped out, and that was one of the risks, that something like this would slip my mind. But it's fixed now, and all the posts and uploads everywhere should be fixed as of this post. Just look for "fixed version!!" at the top of the main menu!

v0.37 Deluxe!

Things stalled some with the new facelift for the Deluxe version, but we're working on it! In the meantime, the Completionist's Map is finally up and working!

Please keep in mind, this is a prototype of the Map and there are probably still some bugs floating around. The whole look of it is also a placeholder while we get the new Deluxe GUI put together and refined. My big priority here was just to get the basic functionality up and running, both so you can start recording your progress...

Whoops!

Lith's Diary ended up unquestionably going up late, for the second time recently. Sorry about that! Honestly, I was so wrapped up in events and life and the holiday and trying to cram in lots of work for the coming release that I completely forgot about the diary until I realized it was a new month all of a sudden! I really don't want to make this a recurring thing, and I'm gonna focus more on getting it done on time from here out.

Lith's Diary - October

Dear Diary,
Last month I talked a lot about how scary change can be, and about how I wanted to make sure I'm changing my situation for the better. Well, things are still kinda in flux and I'm still pretty nervous about how it's all going to pan out, but I do think I'm doing a good job making some of the changes positive! I mentioned I wanted to eat better, get out more, and make more friends, and I've made at least a little progress in all of those. Pretty happy with that! It doesn't need ...

v0.37+ Advance Release!

The first section of the Steel Door is complete! With this release, you now have access to the alternative path we hinted at with the last release. Two piece of art have also been implemented, and thanks to the voter-tier patrons, the Imitation Soda is now available for feline player characters!

There'll still be typos and maybe some bugs, but the rough copy of v0.37 is ready to roll! I hope you guys enjoy. Thanks for your support!

Monthly Mini-Update for October!

We're two weeks from my target date for releasing v0.37, but the bulk of the new content is ready for you! Since it's the pre-release MMU, you won't be using the Diamond Door, but will find the new content right where it belongs in the game proper, just missing some bits here and there, and probably laden with typos and maybe some bugs.

This update opens up the other option for your first step into the game's final chapter! There's a significant difference if you manage to get here wit...

Mother, Interrupted

I'd had my eye on CuccoKing for quite a while, and when they finally opened I was happy to snap this piece up! They were super nice to work with, and I really felt like they made an effort to make sure this piece came out just right to match the scene. I'd certainly recommend them if you're looking to commission someone, especially if you're looking for something with larger women.

Lith's Diary - September

Dear Diary,
Last month I think I sounded kinda... hm. Completely worn out? Destroyed? Something like that. I was honestly a little surprised when I went back to look.

So I guess that's the good news I should start off with! I'm feeling a lot better! Things are still pretty busy, but I do get to actually relax properly, to the point sometimes I'm frustrated with myself for not getting enough done. But um, looking back at how I was talking last month, maybe I earned a little break! I'd j...

Monthly Mini-Update for September!

It's the post-release MMU, and that means the Diamond Door is open again! This time we're taking a look at what will happen if you make the other choice beyond the final door. This time around the Door will take you on a pretty thorough, linear tour of the possibilities just to make things a bit simpler.

Writing for this section has been a lot tougher. Honestly, I spent a lot more of my time just struggling to figure out exactly how I wanted to write this part and how the characters shoul...

v0.37 Poll!

Hey, welcome to the first vote for adding content to MVOL! I'm still feeling out how exactly this will work, so things might still change, but for now I've got a healthy list of scenes, alt scenes, and features that I haven't gotten around to yet but have been meaning to (probably) add someday. Vote for the ones you're most excited about and I'll try and get the winner into v0.37!

Let's start with a quick rundown of each option.

Working On It!

Hi, guys! I've added a bunch of new rewards this month, and like I explained here, it's going to take some time to implement all of them. I've been pushing to work on these every day in between everything else I've got going on, but it's been a lot of work sorting through all the stuff I've done over the last several years.

Art Archive

MVOL has a lot of art in it, a lot of variants to how that art can look, and a lot of sketches and such behind the scenes to make it happen! Download the Art Archive to browse a wide selection of all of these at full (sometimes huge) resolution!

Sometimes there's a failure of communication that leads to an artist making something different than I'd ever intended. In this case, a whopper of a misunderstanding actually led to some sketches that are just so adorable I knew I couldn't not share them with you guys x3

Mz Nite whipped these up while getting started on something entirely else that hopefully I'll be able to share with you guys before lon...

When I saw SalKitten opening up for commissions again, I knew just what I wanted to get! I felt a little bad with how much I went back and forth with her on this one adjusting it, but I really wanted to try and match the feel of the scene. Still, she was very kind about it all and worked closely with me every step of the way to get me a piece I was happy with.

Lith's Diary - August

Dear Diary,
Soooo tired.

Sorry. I've been grumpling a lot about how crazy things have been lately, huh? I'm just not cut out for the whole working and stressing and working more thing. I mean... probably nobody is really cut out for just working and stressing continuously. But me especially! I'd much prefer lying down and watching someone else work. Or maybe enticing them to give up working and come pet me.

So What's Going On?

Hi, guys! If you've been paying close attention, you may have noticed things are just a little off at the moment. Usually I'd have the new version of the game rolling out by this time today at the latest. What's more, Lith's Diary isn't out! D: Let me explain.

I've been mentioning or hinting at this here and there for a while, but I've been going through a pretty big transitional period in my life. I try not to talk too much about my personal affairs, but it's been having an impact on my ...
