Weekly dev blog: Quick Recap

So, last week I didn't work the full amount, as you might remember. I was thinking of delaying the release for a few days, but I decided it's better if I just give myself an extra week, so I can do everything I want. The quest is still unfinished, since the last mile is always the one that takes the most, and I still need to write more scenes. This way, I can also give the testers some time to actually try the update, and I can maybe add some last minute content, as I often do.

Not much...

Weekly dev blog: Progress!

The quest is coming along nicely! I think the puzzles I have designed are the kind I like (not too difficult, but which will make you feel smart when you line things up). I just need the last (small) map and the final encounter, and the gameplay will be finished (there is still more writing to do, but once the design is in place, it should be easy to write down my thoughts).

On a different note, I am almost ready to update TOTDC 1. The RAGS version already has all the bugfixes and impro...

Question Time #2: Bold And Bolder

You know the drill. Pick your second vote and run with it to the bank (or, you know, use it in the poll). Have fun!

Question Time: A Bold Strategy

A bit late into the development, but I wanted to have a general guidance for this last stretch. Basically, outside of the core content which I'll work on anyway, what should I prioritize? What do you feel it's lacking the most in the game, among the following categories? Let me know, so I can fix things (hopefully)!

Art Attack: Erica And The Boys... And The Girls (NSFW)

Here is your art preview for the month! I almost forgot, actually, hence the slight delay. At least, we have 8 scenes to look forward to, and I think there are quite a few lookers in here!

Stan is once again the author, make sure to commission him something, if you like his work and you need some more art (smut or not) in your life.

Weekly dev blog: Cartographer For Hire

So, this week Jin got a new scene, and then I mostly focused on maps. The bulk of it is for the ongoing quest (which means I am also building some of the puzzles as I go along). The location will be a series of caves near the ocean, so I hope to use the fish transformation in the puzzles here and there. I had to do some editing for the tilesets I had, but I think it all looks good now.

Another map I made is actually for the outside of the royal castle. I was thinking I could perhaps sho...

Weekly dev blog: September Showcase

Last week I have split my time between resting, bugfixing (plus some tiny changes/updates to the debug room) and TOTDC 2 work (as well as some time for the short story writing). In the next weeks, I should tackle the following content:

• Next part of the quest. Depending on how well things go, this might complete the quest, we'll see.
• Werewolf path. I'd like to finish this one at well, which means 2 trials and then I should consider if I want a quest for this path or not. 2022-08-29 14:35:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Second Draft: First Crossroads

So, what's a demoness going to do with a naive elf when they are all alone by themselves? Well, try to corrupt her, of course! What is she going to try and instill in the mind of our protagonist? You decide!

First Draft: Getting To Know Each Other

We are still setting the story up, but it feels like everything is in place now. All we need is the first spicy poll for this story, and wouldn't you know it? It's available right now! Go vote there as soon as you have finished reading this version!

Patreon Rewards: Stupid Sexy Sketches

Sorry, couldn't find a better synonim than "sketches" for "HD smutty goodness".

As always, thanks for all the support, and I hope you'll enjoy these. ^_^

August Release: The Hot Season

Of course, every season is hot in Caliross, with Erica around! :^

Cheesy jokes aside, here is the new release. It's been a terrible month, but I think I managed to put together a decent update. The new cowgirl quest in particular had a few unexpected missteps (I had to make sure you couldn't break it, which meant I had to edit a lot of stuff around Solina so that you couldn't interact with those). I also fixed a few bugs that were completely unexpected, but without further ado, here is ...

Weekly dev blog: Quest Co(w)mplete!

The quest is finally finished, together with its sexy scene at the end, and the two paths. I started working on the new part of the other quest, but I am still behind, so I'll have to hurry up if I want to get it ready for this weekend and to release the following week. I took today off, since it's a holiday here in Italy (I wonder if that's the same or not around the world), and I am REALLY hating the heat (I wouldn't be surprised if I turned into a living puddle by the end of the month), it...

Question Time #2: Fantasy Follow-up

For those who want more! Here is the second vote for the brave and the generous. Remember: the more heartfelt the vote, the more likely your choice is to win!

Question Time: Erica's Extravagant Erotica

We have been on the outfit trend for a while, so I figure we can switch it up now (as always, however, poll suggestions are welcome, and if you want that one back, just let me know).

Today, however, we'll be deciding what's the theme for Erica's "me" time. What will she do alone in her bed?

Art Attack: Erica, Eclectic Expert (NSFW)

Once again, our heroine goes to seek out love in several wrong(?) places. Art by Stan, as it's been for quite some time now. Check him out if you ever want a drawing yourself!

The spanking scene actually was missing the background (my fault when I commissioned it), so I had to add and edit one I have access to (hopefully the hack job I did to mask this glaring omission won't be too visible). You can see both p...

Weekly dev blog: Milky Maids Mysteries

The new quest is almost finished! It's taking me some extra time, because of the alternative paths. The quest can actually feature Sariandi, if you are part of the harem, but I also wrote a version of the quest without her if you don't know her (I did this to avoid the even weirder possibility of meeting her after the quest).

She is a friend of the girl that we'll be introducing to "life on the farm", so to speak. It's been fun writing some dialogues for her to at least acknowledge all ...

Weekly dev blog: (Cow)Girls Gone Bad

And we are back! Last week I took some time off after the release, then I went and did more work on TOTDC 1 and 2 for a couple of days. I also worked on some bugs (as you probably know since I released the hotfix) and on the last of the scenes I was asked to create from one of the top tier supporters.

As the title gives away, it's more content for the Zanti path. This time, we'll be persuading another young girl to join the farm! On the way, we'll get to enjoy Solina's beach, lie traps,...

Hotfix: Squashing one bug at a time

In the endless speedrun that is bugfixing, there are no breaks! There were a couple of issues in the game, one concerning one of the new scenes, so I had to take care of it. What's the point of a new release, if you can't see the new content, right? Anyway, here is the link:

Second Draft: A New Neighbour

Our protagoniste Elle just met Cassandra... But is she who she says she is? I'll let you know that she has some plans for Elle, but as for her nature... It's up to you to decide!

First Draft: One Door Closes, Another One Opens

Here we are with a new story! A fantasy setting, this time. For now, it's just the intro, but hopefully I can entice you guys with the first choice of the poll once you read it. I also cleaned things up a little with Alexandra's story. I think I removed all unimplemented choices, but if you know of bugs, typos, or any other weirdness and unfinished paths I am forgetting, just let me know, and I'll fix it.

As for the new story, I'll give you a little "spoiler" here: The invasion in the r...

Patreon Rewards! As Hot As Summer 2022?

Well, maybe not, but I am sure these aren't lukewarm either. I hope you enjoy the HD art!

July Release: Drop It!

So, here is this month's release wrapped with a little of my dev blog for good measure. I couldn't get to all the requested scenes this month (sorry about that), but I'll take care of the last remaining one as soon as I start working for next month's release. Having said that, here is the new version!

Weekly dev blog: It's A Big Salad

So, this week I finished the quest (I hate it when I can't figure out a good puzzle to close things off, but hopefully this will work). We get to investigate another warehouse of the smuggling ring, although this time it has been cleaned up... Or has it?

Next, I wrote a new scene, for the priestess outfit from the poll (if you partecipated in it, you know which one). You can only get this one if you picked Santhora as your deity at the start, however! This might be changed, but for now ...

Question Time #2: Awesome Attires

Here is your second vote!

Instructions:

1) Click on the options you like.

2) There is no step 2.

Question Time: Wardrobe Wonders

We need more outfits (or a better idea for a poll). For now, I'll recycle this once again, since I like seeing Erica in new outfits. XD

I hope you enjoy that too, and that you find a nice option among these! :)

Art Attack: The Beauty IS The Beast... (NSFW)

...At least, that's what happens with werewolves. I wonder how many times I used the same or similar joke when female werewolves are involved, but let's not dwell on it too much! Feel free to get distracted by the drawings, instead.

Artwork by Stan, our one and only artist. The number is lower than usual, because one drawing had 4 characters, so it counted as two (I bet you were too distracted to notice, thank...

Weekly dev blog: I Am Fine! Positive!

I am doing much better now, but I am still positive, so no wild parties yet. I lost more time than I expected (I was fairly sick on monday and tuesday, and pretty tired the rest of the week), but I managed to squeeze out a couple of scenes. One is a sex scene with a mimic, of the "tentacled" variety. The rogue chest will appear in Rahib's docks at night, trying to lure some greedy people in its unassuming trap.

The other scene is for the emperor. You'll go on an "undercover date", by dr...

Weekly dev blog: Honey, I have a surprise...

...It's Covid! I guess having two healthy weeks in a row was too much. Last week I got to work on a quest at least (I decided to have a quest separated in different sections, so I can work on one section per month, making progress without having to complete the quest in one go), but for today I can't imagine doing any actual work.

I'll get back to work as soon as I get better, hopefully this won't last long (as long as I am not in a terrible shape, I might get back to work tomorrow, I r...

Weekly dev blog: Next Time, On mdqp Games...

...Adventure! Intrigue! But for the moment, nothing too impressive. Other than checking a few bug reports (and confirming an issue... *sigh*) I didn't do much on friday. As for today, I worked more on TOTDC 2, going around and fixing/polishing things up here and there, as I try to get things ready for an early "tester build". I'll probably do the same tomorrow, and then it's back on Caliross. I'd like to try and tackle a quest first thing this month, and I have a few options for what to take ...

Second Draft: What's Next?

Do we stick with Alexandra and her adventures, or do we want to start a new story? It's up to you guys. While we do have some unimplemented choices, there really isn't much there, so it would be easy to either cut those and go for a new story or to add something more for Alexandra.
