Dev Plans (December 1st - February 1st)

Hello Backers!

With this release Dungeon 6 actually was NOT completed. Unfortunately, implementing the missions and events for this dungeon took a bit longer than I expected; however, I allotted an extra month for Dungeon 6 when I was planning the schedule so it's within expectations thankfully.

Anyways, I'm happy with how the missions and such turned out for Dungeon 6 and am looking forward to finishing up the remainder of it before moving onto side-content and polishing up the ...

Backers Release v0.12.00 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After another brief 2-month period the next release has arrived! Unsurprisingly I was unable to finish Dungeon 6, but Floor 2 has been completed! The missions were a bit bigger and more time consuming than I originally thought they would be, but nevertheless they have been added.

I decided to not do an individual announcement for it last time to avoid spamming everyone's feeds, but Sapphire and Megara are the...

Character Focus Poll

It's time once again for the Character Focus Poll!

Lexi and Nora both got events this last release! Nora's seems to be leading towards something interesting and Lexi's Coven will finally be making an introduction soon!

Now that we are getting closer to finishing up the main content the side-content will be taking a center stage. After Dungeon 6, the Red-Light District will be the next focus. Then, after that the side-characters will all get tackled.

Anyways,

Backers Release v0.11.25 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 

It was a bit longer than planned, but the promised character events are finished! I spent some time refining their storylines, and I'll probably try to rework Olivia's and Victoria's a bit to make them a bit more enticing than they currently are.

Anyways, since these events are finally done I can do the next character poll, so look forward to that shortly! There's not much going on in this release so I guess I'll keep it short.

As always...

Dev Plans (October 1st - December 1st)

Hello Backers!

The last release went relatively smoothly all things considered thanks to some bug testers catching a majority of the issues beforehand! With this release Dungeon 6 has been introduced, bringing forth a unique dungeon design unlike the one's before it.

Only the first floor has been done so far, but it's extremely big in comparison to the previous Dungeons, with each trap having a much larger story.

If you guys have played ...

Backers Release v0.11.0 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After another two month period the next release is here!

With this release Dungeon 6 Floor 1 is brought forward! This Dungeon focuses on heavy corruption themes which tend to be better when executed over longer story-esque type content.

This Dungeon is definitely the most intensive out of the 6 I've designed so far. It gets rid of the previous functions the 5 dungeons had and introduces a completely new gameplay loop. The Missions take ...

Backers Release v0.10.75 Released (Small Release)

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After a brief one week period a small release is here!

I delayed the release a couple days because I had something happen in my personal life that put me in a bit of a funk. The extra scene I promised wasn't written due to that but spoilers, it's for Lexi. I'll include it with the next release along with the other two characters that win. I added the new Sapphire/Emma portrait to this small release though so hopefully you guys enjoy seeing t...

Backers Release v0.10.50 Released (Small Release)

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After a brief one week period a small release is here!

Surprisingly, this release has a bit more content than I thought it would. More so on the balance/feature side than the story, but it seems I've been releasing a buggy mess recently so that's fun.

Unfortunately I was not able to finish the Nora event in time, so I'll do another small release with her event next Friday. I'll also throw in another character eve...

Favorite Dungeon #2

I like getting people's opinions!

Tell me what your favorite dungeon was so far! I know they don't all have art yet; however, based on themes, interactions, trap dialogue, etc., which one has been your favorite so far?

Also I know Dungeon 5 isn't available to free members and is incomplete, but data is data!

(Also if you want to comment what you liked OR didn't like about a specific dungeon that's cool too. Actually is appreciated a lot!)

Thanks,

Hello Backers!

The last release was a bit hectic due to some unfortunate IRL events; however, the majority of Dungeon 5 has been completed! Which means that now there are only 2 dungeons left to be completed.

I know a few people have been annoyed at the lack of art with the new content; but, finishing up the writing/coding for a majority of the main storyline will take a lot of pressure off me as the dungeons tend to take a LOT t...

Backers Release v0.10.0 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After another two month period (Plus a few days) the next release is here!

This release has a lot of new CG's, and also includes the newly implemented Dungeon 5! This dungeon focuses more on transformation type kinks and I actually enjoyed writing some of the traps a lot.

Anyways, I'll be staggering this release a little bit, my plan is to do another small release next week which will include Nora/Sapphire eve...

Release Delay (7/25 to 7/31)

Hello Patreon Members,

I'm sorry to announce this so late as I was trying to finish up everything before the release date but unfortunately there's still a decent amount that hasn't been fully finished yet.

During the month of June I was out on vacation for a bit and had to deal with my Mom's house burning down, so not as much got done as originally should have. Then paired up with this month's release being a few days shorter kind of compiled together and ended up with me not h...

Character Focus Poll Results (And Artist Poll)

Sapphire and Nora won events this time! 

Gonna keep the discussion short for this poll, but making it multiple choice evened out the results a bit it seems. Except for Victoria, it seems people are tired of her at the moment.

I've been waiting to do Sapphire's next event for a little bit now, I think people will enjoy it.

Hello Backers!

A lot has happened since the last Dev Plan post. The games main CG artist has left, and I had to spend some time finding a new CG artist. With that I found 5 candidates that I think are suitable replacements. There will be another post for backers to vote on that in a bit. For now here's a teaser of their art.

Backers Release v0.09.0 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 

After another two month period the next release is here!

First, the combat rework has been finished and fully implemented. I'm sure I'll need to balance some stuff in the future, but overall I'm glad it's finally finished fully.

Anyways, Dungeon 4 has finally been finished, bringing the 4th chapter to a close! This dungeon was probably the most complicated one I've implemented yet, with Nora's introduc...

Priority of Future Development

Hello Backers!

After focusing on solely side-content and features last release I found myself at a bit of an impasse on how I want to order the future of this games development.

I believe side-content enriches the game experience; however, at the same time people may not be really as interested in it as they are in the completion of the main story. This question is leading me to making this poll.

There are a few things I think can be done, but I want to know what you all ...

Aurora and ??? won events this time! (I decided to make it top 2 again.)

The results this time were much closer, with the voting between all the characters getting a bit more spread out than last time. It seems the interest in ??? has died down a little bit, but not enough to push her off from the top 2.

It seems overall every character suctioned votes from the top 2 this time; however, Nora View Post

Hello Backers!

With the latest release a lot of side-content and features were added! The Red-Light district has been populated with a lot of the necessary base content now, which enables me to focus on adding actual story content for the 3 named characters in that district.

With this, language translation support was also added! I'm working with a few translators already to get the game translated into Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Unfortunately, adding translation sup...

After another brief 2-month period the next update has arrived! For this release a bunch of stuff was tackled.

First and foremost, the combat rework has been implemented. Or at least stage 1 of it has. Enemies and Future Allies still will need to be worked on to make combat more interesting. For now though, any and all feedback is appreciated on the current combat rewo...

Hello Backers!

With the latest release Dungeon 4 was brought to the fold, with a few new characters (Nora, Leila, Isabella) making their appearances and a whole new area, the Red-Light District starting to get implemented. This area will usher in a new breed of deplorable content with drugs, gambling, prostitution, and other nefarious activities going on behind the scenes, with 3 main leaders behind each branch of activity.

Backers Release v0.07.0 Released

Hello precious Patreon members! 


After another brief 2-month period the next update has arrived! For this release Dungeon 4 has begun, with floor 1 being introduced!

Before talking about the rest of the content, I want to address the combat rework. When looking for a 3rd party to implement it, the initial person I hired took 2-months and presented an extremely disorganized and embarrassing system that seemed more like a joke than an actual system.

Hello Backers!

With this last release we saw the completion of Dungeon 3 (goodbye Megara) and an updated Gallery. With this players can now view most of the lewd scenes in the game. The last release also included a decent amount of side events and introduced more of Kailee and her abilities.

Unfortunately, there were two things that didn't make this release. The Combat Rework and the new Side-Quest.

First off, the combat rework. When getting started on this I spen...
