Weekly dev blog: (Yet Another) Quest Complete!

Hi everyone, I hope you had a nice halloween, if you celebrated it. As the title boldly proclaims, I wrapped things up for the quest nicely last week. I was considering adding an alternative solution to the quest, using Erica's transformation to mimick other people, but I was afraid it might be slightly awkward to work it in, so I decided not to, in the end (I do plan to have more quests which do use that power, however).

Other than that, I took care of some typos and a bugfix or two. T...

Weekly dev blog: Tombs With Secret Rooms

Well, not so secret anymore, I guess. This week I worked on the vampire's path final quest. I got a decent start, I think I already have all the maps I need, and the first few puzzles/obstacles are finished. I picked the music track as well (although that might change).

Ideally, I get it wrapped up this week, and maybe next week I write a scene or two to close things out with Beatrix. I should probably make a repeatable scene with her, at the end.

Beyond that, I am not sure, but I...

Second Draft: Back To Work!

Lucia has more orders for Alexandra, of course, but what could they be? What's going to happen next? Vote below and steer the story (maybe)!

First Draft: Love Is Its Own Reward

So, you did a good job, and got a good brainwashing as payment. Lucia certainly didn't hold back in this one, so I hope this hits the spot for you, like it did for Alexandra! Once you are finished, don't forget to check out the poll. ^_^

Patreon Rewards: Hold Her Hard

Another mix of endings and scenes this month (next one will probably have more scenes, to compensate for the release having more of them). I hope you like the HD artwork, and as always, thanks for all the support! :)

October Release: Fun With Everyone

Hi everyone, here is the release, as mentioned yesterday. I ended up writing scenes for the most part, as well as work on some behind the scenes/future stuff and so on. I kind of regret having so much stuff in the game, but hey, we are getting there, and at least I think I can say there is a lot of content to explore. I think this marks the 5th year here on Patreon, so there is that. I originally was planning to finish the game in 4 years, how naive I was... Feature creep is one hell of a dru...

Weekly dev blog: Getting Ready

First things first: I think I'll release the update tomorrow. I wanted to give testers some more time than usual, since there are a few changes/fixes which are delicate, so the extra day might be helpful.

With that said, here is what I did this week: I added 2 scenes to the succubus brothel, made changes so that you can now invite the angel from the third temple to live with you (like the dryad and the mermaid), finished updating the map outside Erica's house in Tarkas and some more ass...

Weekly dev blog: Sexy Scenes Show

So, we got some more variety this time. One more scene for the model job (these should be the last ones, and are meant to make a bit more sense if they repeat), a new scene for the self-hypnosis from your circus lessons, and a scene for the weird pendant. If you know the item, you might also know it gave a minor message when napping while wearing it. Now if you have enough slut reputation, it triggers a proper scene. I'd like to have a few more of these, killing two birds with one stone (scen...

Question Time #2: Reprioritize!

Will your second vote be decisive? Does it even matter? Is there a need for all these questions? Only one way to find out! Vote-vote-vote!

Question Time: Priorities!

This time around, let's focus on completing one or two of the paths in the game which are still missing a proper conclusion. I picked a few off the top of my head, but if you have a favourite that isn't here, make sure to mention it in the comments, so I can add it to next month's poll! All in all, pretty simple stuff, so let me know which one you'd like to see tackled in November's update. Let's vote!

Art Attack: Delaying The Inevitable (NSFW)

Which is to say, I forgot to write the post yesterday, sorry about that! >_<

Anyway, here we can see what I commissioned to Stan for the next update! We get some more endings here (so not everything is going to show up immediately, sadly), but that's just how investing on the future is, I guess. Still, everything looks quite nice. I am particularly happy with how the ending with Beatrix looks, but what d...

Quick update about my father

Things went well, all things considered, and he didn't need a bypass, thankfully (he got away with another coronary stent). I might slightly delay the release date for the new version if I can't make up for the lost time this weekend, but at least everything is fine with him and I also didn't lose as much time handling the situation as I thought I would.

On monday I'll give the usual recap about the development, but I figured I'd let everyone know, in case you were worrying for me and m...

Weekly dev blog: Help, My Emperor Is A Sex Fiend!

So, this week I wrote 2 sexy scenes with the Emperor, 1 for the model job, did some work for chapter 6 and tackled a few miscellaneous things (updating a couple of maps, added a small period when the choice window open where you can't input a choice to reduce missclicks and so on).

I might be busier with some IRL stuff the coming weeks, however (my father is scheduled to be admitted to the hospital tomorrow, and he might have to finally get a bypass, we aren't sure yet), so I don't want...

A Question About TOTDC 2 (NSFW)

I have more art to show, but first, I have a question about this specific piece, so I'll leave the rest for another post in the future. Forgive the low quality of some parts (especially the tattoos) due to how GIMP optimizes stuff for gifs.

Now, this tries to show most/all the customization available for Celeste from this angle (I might add a couple of variations for the piercings, or swap one tattoo for a different one, but this gives a pretty good idea of the scope).<...

Weekly dev blog: Writing Walkthroughs

For the first week, I went ahead and worked mostly on the walkthrough and on the game's last chapter (finished another map, did some writing/puzzle design, that kind of stuff). The walkthrough part actually took me a bit more than I thought, as I added some details for what can be found in the castle (still not finished) after I took care of the quests which were still pending. I didn't work on the H-scenes list, but I can probably sneak in some work on that in the following weeks.

Spea...

Quick question, guys...

...Do you guys have a itch.io account? As you might know, I have my game posted there as well, and someone told me they can't find the game even if they search for Caliross, could any of you verify if that's a widespread problem, or if it's just an issue with their account's settings or whatever?

P.S.

Do you guys think I should encourage people to leave ratings/reviews where that's possible to increase the game's visibility? I am always on the lookout for more ways to make the pat...

Second Draft: Good Girls Get Rewards...

...And Alexandra has been a VERY good girl. What happens when she gets home? What did Lucia prepare for her? Whatever you pick, I am sure our protagonist is going to be happy about it.

First Draft: Alexandra Bates, Double Agent

Time to do some bad stuff for Lucia! Although she'll reward you, so it's fine... Or so says your brainwashed mind.

I hope you guys will enjoy how Alexandra gets easily manipulated after her surgery, make sure to let me know. :)

As always, look forward to the poll once you are finished reading. 

Patreon Rewards: Erica Gets Punished (and Rewarded)

Here is the latest collection of HD art for you guys, Now, with 100% more slave Erica! That path and a few others definitely still need CGs, but hopefully we'll get there once I handle most of the endings. Anyway, enjoy the art, and thanks for the support, much appreciated! ^_^

September Release: Guild Girls Gone Wild

Here is our monthly update! Sadly, I was slightly late on the test version (saturday instead of friday), so the people helping me haven't been able to have a more in-depth look at the release, but I think everything should be fine, regardless. Here is the usual MEGA link to the release:

Weekly dev blog: The Good Old Quest Shuffle

So, the second quest is basically finished (just need to write some more dialogue and figure out the best way to start the intro). In a bold move, this is not the quest I had started designing before. That one might re-appear in the future, but I couldn't figure out some details with the gameplay, and decided to leave it there for the moment.

The quest would have involved working on the design of a magical defense system for boats and ships, and while I had some cool, simple ideas where...

Weekly dev blog: Wrapped Up With A Nice Bimbo(w)

So, our bimbo-themed quest is finished now. It has 1 sexy scene everyone can see (which doesn't involve our intrepid protagonist), and a couple of "bimbo-only" scenes which you can experience if you have the trait and are willing to go with the flow, so to speak.

The other quest (for the mage guild this time) also got some progress, and I should wrap it up this week, hopefully. I am debating whether or not it should have a more active role from the protagonist (almost all the quests for...

Question Time #2: Theme Remix

Here is the extra vote for those brave souls in the upper tiers. Your bags of cash are funding a better future (probably). As always, thanks for the support!

Question Time: Theme Mixing

This is similar to some of the previous polls, but more targeted. I'll write a couple of scenes by mixing the winning theme with the second and third ones (so, if they are A, B and C, I'll write an A-B scene, and an A-C scene). You should vote your favourite three options, and hopefully you'll get at least one of them to be featured!

Art Attack: Endings and Erotica (NSFW)

So, as mentioned before, I brought the total of monthly commissions up to 7 for Caliross (which reminds me, I should eventually gather the new TOTDC 2 art for another teaser, eventually).

I am trying to have enough art for the endings which might need it (some sections of the ending might use in-game cutscenes, instead), although some are harder to incapsulate in a single shot than others. The usual attempts at covering "holes" in the CG coverage are also undergoing, and I finally got s...

Weekly dev blog: Bad Boys and Bimbos

So, last week I have been working on a new adventurers guild quest. Keeping in line with the poll, this quest will be focused on a particular trait (which is the bimbo trait, in case you had missed the title). The quest already has a scene and is at a decent point, but needs even more bimbodome injected into it, before I can wrap it up.

I also did some work on a quest for the mage guild, since the plan is to add one quest each, as we build toward a critical mass of quests to make climbi...

Second Draft: It's A Date (maybe)!

So, Alexandra is back on the streets, but her mind is busy with something other than work now. What's Lucia going to do next with our confused cop? Let's find out!

First Draft: Sexy Nurses Rule!

In the case of our story, they do that quite literally, if they are named Lucia. Enjoy one last "conversation" with her, before leaving the hospital and then ask yourself what should she order you next, as that's the what we'll be answering in our next poll. As always, let me know if you like what's going on so far. ;)

Patreon Rewards: Sexy Is Justice!

That's our motto (probably)! Here is some juicy, HD goodness, for you to enjoy. This is probably the least sexy release so far, actually, considering a couple of ending slides are featured, but let's not sweat the small details. XD

I hope you like these, and thanks for all the support!

August Release: Wrapped In Silk

So, another month (+ 1 week) passed us by, and another release comes about. I did add some extra spice to the Spider lady encounter (hopefully people like it), I wrote a bonus scene for Eliza's ending (triggering it is pretty straightforward) and I did some miscellaneous stuff (mostly chapter 6 work, and lots of bugfixes). Testers had some personal issues so not all of them got to test stuff, but I think we have most things covered, and the others will come back to me when they can.

In ...
