Cleaning out the last bit of my old commission queue so I can finally open for some new ones!
This commission is for my long time friend Greggrth (https://twitter.com/greggrth/) who wanted a simple, short, sweet sci-fi story about an okapi (Zebra-giraffe: look them up I'd never heard of them before now!) just getting absolutely, stupidly, ridiculously huge.
Honestly probably the largest character I've wri...
2021-05-11 23:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostSince it was a simple quick fix I didn't think it needed an entire hotfix release.
It was brought to my attention that you were still able to obtain wolf and have him alongside Sali if you went and got her first.
This is now fixed.
I just updated the game on itch so if you downloaded it before this post redownload it to get the fixed version
Good morning everyone! New update is ready!
This is an exclusive early release of the latest version just for you patrons. Please do not redistribute the game to non-patreon subscribers. <3
This time I get to introduce you all to an alternate companion option to Wolf: S.A.L.I. the cybernetic AI implant! She can be accessed and acquired by visiting the Robotics Lab. Just be careful, If your head already has a houseguest when you visit things might not go well.
I was a bit ...

Hey everyone!
New story here for you all! A commission I owed to Borusa that I finally had a chance to get too in between working on the game!
Borusa's always had some rather 'big' fantasies both about himself, and about his unnaturally large roommate. when he gets ahold of a real life growth ray he finally gets to indulge in those fantasies! Although they end up a bit more intense than he expected. Not that you can hear him complaining.
Too long to pos...
2021-05-02 18:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Just giving you a quick update
I have another story that I've got to finish editing and should hopefully have post it out tomorrow or Monday. I'm working my way through the couple of commissions that I owe and then I will probably open up for some short story commissions.
I have been working on the game but unfortunately I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I was hoping. Honestly I've ended up spending almost half of the month of April sick and struggling to loo...
Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good afternoon!
Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything other than work on the game. I took a little break yesterday when I got inspired to write this little gem down to take a break and was rather surprised with how it turned out. I've been trying to work more on brevity in my writing cause I know sometimes I drag something out way longer than it needs to be or add in details that aren't necessary. So this and another project I work...
2021-04-19 21:59:55 +0000 UTC View PostOkay everyone!
I'm finally getting to a point where I feel like I have a little bit more flexibility in the things I can add to the game. For those of you that have had a chance to play the latest build you've seen the sub-basement is available in one of the areas is the storage area. My ultimate goal for that specifically is to basically be a Toy Box. The storage area is where I'm going to put all of the semi Canon items and scenarios that are basically just supposed to be fun fetish ...
Hey guys! just a quick heads up.
Files should already be uploaded and prior links and passwords should work!
Hotfix 2.0.1
Hot Fix
- Fixed issue where leaving Salem trapped in the size lab did not properly block off access to the size lab, allowing you to loop the scenario.

Hey guys! New content update is here!!
This is an exclusive early release of the latest version just for you patrons. Please do not redistribute the game to non-patreon subscribers. <3
This update brings the first new system to the game: Injuries and health. It's my first experimentation with statistics and dynamically changing features like that. I plan to add more things like these in the future as I learn to give an increasingly interactive experience for you all!

Hey guys! New content update is here!!
This is an exclusive early release of the latest version just for you patrons. Please do not redistribute the game to non-patreon subscribers. <3
Here are the patch notes for everything that's been added and changed. Finally expanded a bit on a few of the options with Salem and filled out a few of those placeholder chapters. Getting the groundwork set up to really get the story to take off. <3
The game can be found here:
Alright guys. got another poll for you all. This time about the patch notes
When I add new content to the game would you rather have more vague patch notes pointing you in the general direction of the new content but leaving it vague so you can find out exactly what happened yourself?
Example: "added several new interactions with <person> involving <object>"
Or would you rather me give specific details as to what was added to each path that ...
2021-03-26 17:13:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! just a quick question for you all to see what you all think would be your preferred method of update release.
Would you all rather have:
A: Bigger content releases with more and 'complete' content in them that take longer between updates
or
B: Smaller piecemeal updates that can still leave some threads incomplete as Works in progress but would release content more often
2021-03-23 01:52:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! just a quick update!
Put out a quick hotfix to fix some spelling errors and fix the loop where you could encounter Dr. Gigus multiple times.
The links and passwords are all the same, they should take you automatically to the updated version!
let me know if you have any issues <3

2021-03-19 01:19:24 +0000 UTC View PostAlright. I've heard the feedback and decided what to do. The tiers will be reorganized to represent the following based on my shift towards the development of Scientific Espionage and potential future games.
the $1 tier will now effectively be the "Tipping" Tier.
the $3 tier will receive the following:
-Access to exclusive written content such as teases, short stories, WIPs, etc.
-Early access to public content such as completed stories before the...
2021-03-16 17:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostSo as I mentioned previously I'm currently unemployed and trying to make a run at making a living off of my writing now and I'm having to readjust a few things to try to make that more viable. To that end I'm considering updating how some of the tiers work in response to my sharp change in direction towards developing the new game.
So, no judgement whatsoever just be brutally honest.
If I adjust the tiers so that only $5+ supporters have early access to content up...
2021-03-16 05:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostQuick bugfix update to squash a few bugs and typos, as well as adding a new Bug Report feature!
Patch Notes 1.0.1
- Streamlined and updated the introduction sequence to fix several typos, improve a few bits of writing, and spacing it out into smaller sections to be less wall-of-texty

2021-03-13 23:45:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt's finally here, everyone!
The beta version of Scientific Espionage is finally ready to share!
there's a good deal more content, including almost all of the "Placeholder" chapters being filled out and updated for the current story paths. Not to mention a couple of new paths I added along the way. Several old paths were streamlined and updated a bit as I learned better ways to do things.
I also got the Special Thanks page added to thank my supporters (...

Since I got abruptly and unexpectedly fired I've been using my unemployment time to try to learn a few new skills. I'd really like to try and give a run at supporting myself through my writing if somehow I can make that possible. So, to do that I've been learning how to ACTUALLY use Twine. Specifcally: for more than just a simple CYOA story (not that there's anything wrong with those.)
So. Allow me to introduce the alpha version of my...
2021-03-10 00:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostAlright guys.
I've had several reports of people not having access to the new version of the interactive story. After investigating it turns out patreon is trying to fuck me over. The plugin i used to lock certain content behind a patreon login of specific tiers apparently had a stealth update sometime in the last two weeks where, without informing me, it REMOVED the ability for me to lock content behind specific tiers. That feature is now only available in their pro version which they ...

Happy March Everyone!
Had some major and less than enjoyable abrupt changes in my employment situation (See: fired unexpectedly for no good reason). So I’m currently between jobs. I’m debating trying to make a run at actually trying to support myself exclusively on my writing so we’ll see how the next week or two goes.
Today I have the latest updated to Changing Perspectives Again, Version 1.01 which adds 10,000 more words of content; this time all centered ...
2021-03-01 14:09:12 +0000 UTC View PostI honestly have no words to express my utter shock and surprise that my Patreon has gotten this far. Honestly I never even expected to get enough followers to even make $50 a month if that. But you all pushed so far beyond that I'm honestly almost in tears.
I'm not exaggerating when I say launching this patreon was basically a last ditch attempt to convince me that I wasn't wasting my time trying to be a writer. If it had failed I probably would have all but given up writing....

thanks again so much for your patience. I finally was able to get the finger splint off yesterday and I'm slowly getting flexibility back in my finger without yelling. Its mostly healed over (if super ugly atm) but its basically a solid block of skin right at that knuckle joint so im pretty much having to force myself to bend it over and over to soften it up and get regular range of motion back.
Hopefully i can start doing some writing again this week and I'll do m...
2021-02-18 00:03:50 +0000 UTC View Posthey guys. Just a quick update. next version of the interactive might be a bit late this month. ended up injuring the index finger on my dominant hand pretty bad and its been stuck in a splint for a week and probably will be for at least another week. Makes it kind of hard to do a lot of typing unfortunately.
I should still have a decent release this month but sadly it probably won't be quite as much as i was hoping for. Sorry!

Looking for some more feedback to try to get some better content rewards out to you guys. I know I changed them just a few months ago but with the chaos of the world around us I'm having to kind of roll with the punches and I don't want to just NOT provide you guys with at least some little perks for the higher levels of support so I'd rather change a system even if its been changed recently than keep offering rewards I can't fully back up right now.

Ended up being a gift for Sini over on twitter (https://twitter.com/siniwrites) who helped to inspire this by reminding me that I almost never write attribute theft stories. So I decided to fix that.

There's still much work to be done and much more to add but I finally feel like there's enough content for a soft launch.
So, some of you may know one of the biggest projects i ever did was start an interactive story on Writing.com nearly a decade ago and, thanks to many other writers joining me to add to it, it grew to be a massive and suscessful story that's still getting additions even to this day (despite writing.com's massive downfall into the dumpsterfire ...
