Special Renders September 2021

Well I couldn't really find a "theme" that I absolutely loved this month, so I decided to go with a little batch of assorted renders. Play with a few things.  Additionally you get a little glimpse into a hobby of Els that we'll learn a bit more about in the upcoming update.

As always they come in 4k and 1080 versions. I hope they brighten up your day just a smidge. 

This upcoming October we'll have an easy Halloween theme, the only question is who dresses up like what? 2021-09-30 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey all quick and easy today.

Monday was officially my "back to work mode" date. Was nice using my  PC for something other than rendering for a bit, but honestly I get a bit antsy when I'm not working. Today and tomorrow I'll be finishing up customs and getting all my ducks in a row, and starting Friday it's going to be off to the races on part 3.

I wanted to take minute to acknowledge the lovely milestone we reached recently. I passed 200 patrons! For some folks that may not...

Bonus Poll 09/25/2021

Time for our lovely weekend update. For those new here these are usually reserved for the 5 and up patrons, but after each release I like to make the first one of the cycle open to all.

So since it was a success last update this weekend I'll be providing an opportunity to decide which character will be getting a bonus scene in the upcoming chapter.  Since Elspeth won last time she's ineligible this time and since Serena is ineligible for story reasons this update I'll be adding sid...

Lewd Render Poll September 2021

Doing something a little different this month, since I'd still like to save some mystery on some gals a little longer This months set options will be a bit different. This month we'll be featuring side girls, and some returning faces from the past. May you choose wisely.

Thanks as always for your support.

Sláinte!

Special Render poll Sep 2021

Ahaha! You all thought I forgot. I didn't though. This month I think I'm gonna take a dealers choice, you pick the girl and I'll decide the theme based on who it is. Since she won last month Amrit is ineligible this month.

Thanks as always for your support.

Hey all!

Normally I do these on Wednesday but I'm trying to space out the various emails everybody will be getting this week.

So as you may know  Unbroken Part Two was released to the upper tiers this weekend. Had a pretty good reception so that's a lovely feeling. 

Access to the update will become available to the 5 dollar tier in about four hours or so.  Access will then be expanded to the $1 tier on Wednesday evening! After that I'll be taking a little time...

Unbroken Part 2 Release

It's here! Thank the heavens. I'll be making some more tweaks to various things over the next week until the public release, but it's playable and has a complete story ready to go. 

My beta testers and I have been extensive with it, but there's still the chance we missed something. If you encounter any errors please let me know asap so I can look into it. 

I really hope you enjoy.

Sneak Peek 09/05/2020

Hey all, just one more image of each girl from the update that I like, or make me smile.  I had something else planned originally, but I figured you all would rather I spent the time finishing up this update, so I'm putting that idea on the back burner for a few weeks.   I'm thinking this will be last sneak peak for the cycle as next weekend If all goes as planned I'll be putting the finishing touches on the update.  I'll be checking in again on Wednesday as usual.  T...

Welcome back, another month is here and boy does it feel like this year has flown by.  Let's get down to business. 

I'm anticipating release the week of the 13th. My goal is to maintain a 90 day dev cycle, if I release  Monday the 13th that will be 91 days, so I'm pretty happy with that.  Though again I'll stress that this is just ballpark, but a may need a few additional days. This is the largest update I've ever done by far and I do want to make sure this update is...

Lewd Renders August 2021

And here are your lewd renders for the month.  I can't say I'm surprised this is who was picked. I even offered you two girls and yet the power of the Scottish lasses bosom could not be denied. I hope you enjoy, as always they come in 4K and 1080 Flavors.

Thanks as always for your support and I hope you have a lovely rest of your week.

Special Renders August 2021

And here are your selected renders for the month.  I have to say the hardest part of this set wasn't finding the outfits, but actually finding a place that they could shine. I think I pulled it off though.  As always they come in 4K and 1080 Flavors.

Thanks as always for your support and I hope you have a lovely rest of your week.

Sneek Peak 08/28/2021

Judging by the ranking poll quite a few of you are going to be quite excited about this one.

One of the whole points of making a game like this is including a little bit of lewdness. Now there's always a delicate balance in finding a good amount of lewd content, but also creating characters that are actually interesting. The good thing is that just like real women, not everybody works on the same time table. 

Amrit is a bold girl, shy to warm up, but when she see's something ...

Sneak Peek 08/22/2021

Moving into the final scenes these next weeks. These are action scenes, which I wanted to give the time they deserve as they're obviously a little more complicated than standard conversation shots.  The other complicating factor is the variation in one of these scenes. The double edged sword of variation is the increased amount of renders it requires. With just a simple little ripple a scene that should take 35 renders suddenly takes 105... Guess that explains why this might be the bigge...

Hey all appreciate you letting me take the weekend to deal with everything. Today I provide you with three renders as penance.

The first two are from early game, and I just think a fun little glimpse into how your choices will change things. On one hand you get to spend your time with somebody pretty and fun... on the other somebody not so much.  These seem like somewhat small changes, but they really do start to build up over time.  Each branch has specific choices...

Well I guess I just need to get the news out of the way, if you frequent my Discord you already know what's up so feel free to skip this and go straight to the progress report.

For those who were unaware, last Wednesday evening I recieved a phone call informing me that one of my oldest friends had passed away.  Given our relatively young age this came as something of a shock and it threw me off my workflow a good amount.  I can't pretend our relationship was the best (in fact ...

"Candlelight seduction? Seriously? You'll light the place on fire."

This week I give you the gift of an ass to tap, and a modified room.

Sorry about the tardiness on this post. Those in my Discord know that this week has been a bit of a trashfire. I'll get into the details in our Wednesday update so you don't need to read it twice.

Appreciate you all and hope you had a lovely weekend, I'll see in a few days for our weekly update.

As always thank you so much for the sup...

Some of you who hang around in the old discord will recognize the above. I really like this shot of Vi and felt with some tweaks it would be perfect as a title screen and so that's exactly what I did.  Each update the title screens will update as the characters slowly enter new phases in their lives and relationships, just something to make note of .

I'm very excited for this scene.  

This update we'll get some time to try to solve the mystery that is our resident buxom genius. However Elsie isn't the type of girl who easily parts with her secrets, so you better come correct.  However if you're careful, and with just a little luck you may peel a few layers off the lovely young women. Pun not intended.

So for now I leave you with the "mystery" of the above renders and wonder what conclusions you'll draw?

As always they're provided in 4k and 1080 variants. (You'd think I'd stop saying that at some point.) I'll be doing the August polls for both the special and lewd renders a little earlier this time around, so I can get these taken care of a smidge sooner as hopefully we'll be working on...

Just wanted to share a cute little render, it's not part of the game, just thought you'd like to see Vi... or it's a subtle clue that has things hidden in it that I'll point out in a few months. Who knows?  I can't recall if I've mentioned it here, but in an effort to future proof myself for the next few updates I've updated all the characters to Gen 8.1.  As we continue on you're probably going to see me phase the newer models into the game to ensure they're looking as pretty as po...

Sneak Peek 07/17/2021

Same scene, different looks.  

As you progress through Chapter 2 you're going to start noticing little changes to scenes depending on how you've treated your love interests.  In the above scene you can express affection towards Amrit, or not which will lead to slight changes in how both this and future scenes will play out.  Obviously she has one she prefers.  

As we move through the earlier chapters, you will be the driving force of these differences. Entering...
