The advance release went out last weekend, and if everything goes smoothly with the art, I'll be making the full, official release this weekend for v0.18. This image is a subsection of the Table of Contents, and you can see what new content is being added for the Stone Door in v0.18 by comparing to last version....
2015-09-16 04:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe details have been coming together a bit rough, but the bulk of the content is ready, so I think it's ready for you all to read! I'll be making a revised "map" for what's new in this update soon, but the short of it is: you can finish the stone door four different ways now! Two with pink collar, and two with black.
I still have two pieces of art on the way, so I'll be doing a new version of the cheat-enabled game once those are both in, and my proofers are still taking a look at the...
Getting art for this version has been much, much harder than I ever expected xP For months I worked slowly but steadily at trying to get just the scenes I wanted, on the side, but my plans unraveled and the deadline got closer and closer. Finally I gave up on my original plans for what would go into this game and started pushing for any of the many scenes I want to have illustrated eventually. And it looks like it's gonna work!
Maybe it's just because it feels so good to finally make p...
Last month I made up a sort of visual table of contents for My Very Own Lith to give you guys a better idea of where we are in the overall development of the game. That was the overarching view of how far we are in the entire storyline. Today, I'm gonna show you where we are within the Stone Door.
Now, this graphic is pretty vague, as there's a lot of things about the game's content I'd rather you...
Thank you so much for the support this month!
2015-09-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, this ended up coming in pretty close to the end of the month again ^.^; I guess that's proof deadlines are good for the productive process, you could say! I powered through a sex scene to make sure I had decent content ready for the preview. If your payment processed for the $20+ tier, you should have a new preview in your email inbox right now!
In less awesome news, it looks like one of the artists I was in touch with had to drop out due to personal issues. That'll teach me to spen...
We're still growing, and I think when v0.18 comes out we'll see another big boost! But we've already hit the sixth goal, and that means that from now on, every new release will have two new pieces of art! I wasn't sure if we'd be hitting it in time for this release, but we made it with a few weeks to spare! Thank you, everyone!
Of course, I've been working on finding art for the game for a while, shopping around and trying to find the right artist for the job without blowing the budget. I...
I've talked about my plans for MVOL's future before on my blog, but I decided it was about time to present the game as something a little easier to understand quickly. This is roughly how I visualize the game's progress and future, although some things are left ambiguous to avoid giving away too much, haha.
If you take a look, you'll see the game, as it's planned out, is split into two Acts. I expect each to have roughly the same amount of content, just presented in very different f...
2015-08-06 09:05:22 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for the support this month!
2015-08-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostEnded up coming pretty close to the wire, but I wanted to keep going until I felt like I had enough to make it a worthwhile read! If nothing else, this really may help force me to cram more content into each update, haha.
If you were in the $20+ reward tier and your payment went through, you should now have a special copy of MVOL in the email inbox associated with your Patreon account! This copy features an exclusive sneak peek into upcoming content for the game-- specifically, just...
2015-07-28 23:41:02 +0000 UTC View PostLith's first diary entry has been sent out to everyone with successfully processed pledges of $10 or above for this month! ^.^ Sorry for the delays, everyone, it seems this has been a weird month for Patreon, and a lot of pledges were coming through late or not at all. I also took a bit to pull myself out of one of my little funks.
With that done, though, I'm working on MVOL again and I hope to have the monthly update version ready soon! I hope to start sending these out a little ea...
2015-07-23 19:23:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt's fantastic to see us top the fifth goal! I'm glad to see more people still coming to the project a month after the release, and hoping we'll see more joining us still in months to come! We're halfway to The Big One already, the final goal to accelerate the game's schedule.
For this goal, I've reduced my work hours further so I can focus more of my time on MVOL. It's gonna be kinda crazy working the new schedule, I'm still getting used to all this, but I hope I'm gonna make it wo...
2015-07-17 01:06:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey, folks! If you haven't seen, I went ahead and closed the poll for new rewards, and I've updated the goals and reward tiers. $10 and higher now gets you a monthly peek into Lith's thoughts and a quiet expression of his gratitude for all your support. $20 supporters will also start seeing monthly updates with the content I've written up so far ready for a sneak peek fully customized for their characters!

I know it's not exactly in advance, but when I had a few requests for it, I realized this was just the sort of thing I should be uploading as an extra reward for my upper tier supporters :3 I'll probably release it publicly sometime down the road, but for now, I hope you enjoy having an exclusive gif of Lith wiggling it up like he wants it all!
Thank you so much for the support this month!
2015-07-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt's awesome to see us pass the fourth milestone. I'd honestly been really nervous about this taking off at all when I set it up, and so many people have stepped up to show their enthusiasm for the project, all I can do is grin like an embarrassed idiot.
Now, this means it's time for me to start looking for the right person to take on as a variant writer for the game. We're going to be working on adding extra acknowledgements of players' choices to every scene, so that you feel more rewarded f...
2015-06-24 05:35:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe third goal has passed behind us in a flash! Thank you, everyone! With this, the second tier of rewards is unlocked, and I'm going to start releasing exclusive Monthly Mini-Updates for the high-end supporters to enjoy and get a sneak peek at what's coming up in the future. I plan to write in the content as an extra Door you can pass through to jump into whatever scenes are being written up, allowing you to go straight to the content regardless of what collar you have and so forth.
Othe...
This version features three new chunks of content: the last two pieces for the second chapter of the Stone Door, and one path through the final chapter in the Stone Door. The cheat-enabled version supporters have access to also has a sneak peek of a second path in the final chapter!
Also included is a new achievement to give completionists a little satisfaction, and a cute new animation for the loading screen. I hope everyone enjoys!
And if you haven't seen it, the poll for extra support...
2015-06-19 22:13:41 +0000 UTC View PostIncludes a few small tweaks and the new animation! I had been having a lot of trouble incorporating it into the game properly, but with how quickly we hit our goals, I went ahead and pushed to get it done for this versionI hope you enjoy!
It hasn't been a week since the Patreon was announced, and we've hit the second goal! Thank you so much, everyone! I'll be getting my day job hours reduced as soon as possible so that I can spend more time working on My Very Own Lith. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous taking these tentative steps toward being supported by my writing and coding, but it's definitely exciting! And it's all thanks to you!
As a matter of fact, since we've hit this so fast, I'm working on a little tre...
2015-06-17 09:38:58 +0000 UTC View PostWe've blown away the first goal! Thank you so much, everyone. From here on, I'll be commissioning and adding new art to My Very Own Lith with every update! I've already got some good ideas on where to start adding, too. I'd like to make the opening pages of the game a little more eye-catching and easy to understand for those that aren't yet sure they want to play the game through. Once I've finished with my plans, maybe I could open up to suggestions for scenes in the game everyone would like to...
