Weekly dev blog: Spinning Webs

The short quest attached to the last spider lady scene is pretty much complete, but I still need to do some testing, and the scene itself isn't finished yet. I did write a new scene, though, which finally uses the invisible "slut reputation" stat. I wanted to start with something simple, so right now it just unlocks a scene with the "rough guy" near the slums' entrance, but I'll probably add more scenes and/or reactions from people recognizing you as a bona fide slut in the future. Using this...

Weekly dev blog: Back in Action!

Just a small heads up to let you guys know I am still alive after the vacation (and well rested, it seems). In the coming days, I'll be finishing the spider lady's quest, see if I can squeeze in a short quest, and work on chapter 6, as well as write the sexy scenes I have scheduled. The short quest is the most likely to get pushed back, if I can't find the time.

My internet is acting up today, so I'll keep this short, but those are the plans for the week. The new release should happen b...

Question Time #2: (Re)quest changes!

If you aren't satisfied with the poll's results, here is your chance to collude with your fellow co-conspirators, and turn the game in a Twilight fanfic (even if such an option is strangely missing from the poll).

Jokes aside, I hope you like the options! 

Question Time: Quest(ion) Time!

So, I have been focusing on gameplay and whatnot recently, and I figured we should have at least one poll for a quest theme so you guys can vote on something more substantial. I have a few ideas so it should be nice to give them an extra twist based on your choice, so I can work on it for September's release. WIthout further ado, here are the choices!

P.S.

Due to the nature of the poll, only the winner pick will be used, since I can't easily churn out quests and tweak them with an...

Art Attack: Past, Present and Future (NSFW)

Here is this month's art preview. Stan did a good job this time around as well, I think. As you'll easily notice, there are a few non-lewds, as we start ramping up for the endings and we definitely need some art for some of those.

By the way, starting this month I am going to burn some of the budget for extra art, bringing the total to 7 for Caliross  (and 3 for TOTDC 2, in case you are interested). I don...

Weekly dev blog: Initiating Vacation Protocols

At long last, my vacation is here! Or something like that. Last week I finished adding the royal library to have the basics work as intended (so unlocking access to it, having some NPCs there, and being able to do research). You can still do the regular research there, if you so desire, but you can now pick "advanced" research, for topics which are exclusive to the "high tier" libraries. For now, the only advanced entry you can research is related to the Spider lady, if you have seen all of h...

Weekly dev blog: Bookworms, Rejoice!

So, I have been working on the royal library, writing lore entries, NPCs dialogues, the basic structure for introducing it and the likes. I have also taken some notes for some future quests related to the new research options which should eventually become available.

By the way, if you guys have any interest in parts of the game you'd want lore entries for (historical events, cities, countries, monsters, noble families and whatnot), let me know and I might try to include those in the ap...

Hotfix: Whack-a-mole edition

So, here we are with a hotfix to the game. The weekly dev blog is also coming soon, but I figured I should release this first. I could have sworn I have already tackled 2 of these before, but maybe they were some variation on the same or similar issues. Anyway, it's good to know these should be fixed. Here is a link to the new version:

Weekly dev blog: Keep Calm and Kill Bugs

So, it's not been too long since the release. I have fixed a couple of bugs (I am trying to figure out if there is a third one hidden somewhere, but I might release a hotfix soon, if I can't find it), and I am doing some "experimentation", trying to figure out if I can make a simple "programming puzzle" for chapter 6.  It's been interesting, but I might have to scrap it, if I can't design an interesting but not too intricate scenario for it.

The next few days I should work on updat...

Second Draft: A New You

This time around, I want you guys to decide what are the subliminals going to do. What's the first thing Alexandra will feel like doing after recovering from her wild night?

First Draft: Nursing Alexandra

So, we finally get our sexy nurse to get a little frisky, and thanks to her new treatment, Alexandra proves to be very receptive to her advances... Still, what's going to happen next? Run to vote as soon as you finish reading this update, so we can decide!

Patreon Rewards: Erica Planewalker

So here we go once again, like every month! This time around, we get some exotic vistas and encounters, although most of it is still very familiar. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do! :)

July Release: Dig Deeper

Another month, another update! Since I focused more on quests and the like, we don't get a lot of scenes, but hopefully people will appreciate the new quest and the progress on what will eventually be chapter 6. There are still a couple of new scenes for the harem, as you can now start dating the Emperor, if you were picked during the previous event as his favourite.

Next month, we'll continue focusing on gameplay, but for now, I hope you'll enjoy the update!

Weekly dev blog: Getting Ready For Launch

So, here we are, once again. The game got in the testers' hands, and I got my usual reports/feedback. Bugs were squashed, improvements were made, faith was restored. The first part of chapter 6 seems mostly well received, but there are things to add and a few improvements to be made. Still, it seems to be good, overall. The new quest also seems to get their approval, for the most part.

I still need to get stuff ready for the new harem scenes. One is mostly finished, but the other is lag...

Question Time #2: Vote your Venom

The explanation is in the first poll, but you probably don't need much help to navigate an extra vote, do you? Select the best category, and make it come out on top!

Question Time: Pick your Poison

This time around I'll let you guys pick the theme for 2 scenes. Depending on the results, I might combine the categories (if there is no clear winner, I might write two 2 romantic sub scenes, for example, or 1 romantic sub and one romantic domme scene, for example). Anyway, it's simple stuff, but I assume it should be fun to vote on these categories! I mention this often, but if you have ideas for polls and/or categories, make sure to bring them up.

With that said, enjoy the poll. ^_^ 2021-07-09 15:33:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Art Attack: The Full "Erica Experience" (NSFW)

Here is this month's art preview. Stan is the artist, and once again I think we have some really nice-looking CGs to look forward to. We'll probably get more "non-sexy" stuff, as I start to work in more commissions for the endings. Anyway, I hope you like the what's here, and let me know if you have any thoughts on the art!

Weekly dev blog: To Become The Empress, You Must Impress

So, the new quest is finished, as mentioned last week. I am still debating whether or not I need one more obstacle to put in the way, but I am quite pleased with it, I get the feeling it's very smooth overall, although some of the stuff you have to do is probably a tad too easy.

Then I worked some more on chapter 6, mostly some writing, tying things together, planning the next phase and other assorted stuff. I did some writing for the short story and some mapping for the new harem scene...

Another TOTDC 2 art preview

Again, it's been a while since the last showcase for the art. You can see Darenzia's and Jane's new outfits, one of the early bad guys you'll encounter, a security robot (I expect to re-use this and some variations of it in several sections, so I don't have to commission unique art for unremarkable fights). Finally, we have the lair of a small gang, and Darenzia's room.

Not shown here are the first set of piercings for Celeste, and the various hair colors she'll have available (I settle...

Weekly dev blog: Fighting Erica

So, this week I focused mostly on the new quest. I think it went pretty well, all things considered! The maps are finished, there are a few secrets, the intro is done and the main content is almost complete as well, I just need some time to think about the final fight and write the ending.

This is actually going to be a more "traditional" extermination quest for monsters, although we have the usual minor puzzling along the way typical of most of the other quests in the game. As such, an...

Weekly dev blog: Back In The Saddle

And so, we survived another release. Last week I worked on the hotfix, a little on the walkthrough and H-scenes list, and I did some preliminary work for gameplay content. Right now, I am writing a quest (I was thinking about making it available for both guilds, but I am not sure yet), involving a little expedition down an inactive volcano, and I am planning some extra content for Golden Leaf (having Erica behave as some sort of judge for minor issues in the county, with people presenting the...

Hotfix: Catalina, I Choose You!

So, it wouldn't be one of my releases if there wasn't at least one bug. Anyway, this updates fixes the new scene with Catalina not showing up after you had your threesome with her and Esmeralda. Here is hoping no more bugs are still lurking around beneath the surface!

P.S. Make sure to let me know if more weird stuff happens.

https://mega.nz/file/9BowVIIA#xaa5KU42mtl5oNpkL...

Second Draft: Nursing You Back to Health

With Alexandra waking up soon, and Lucia more than willing to take care of her, now that she needs a hand, what do you think should happen next?

First Draft: The Captain, The Detective, and The Nurse

So, here is a new update to the short story. Looks like our captain tricked Alexandra into some unknown surgery, who would have guessed!? This isn't exactly a sexy update, but it sets the stage for the next scene. Make sure to vote in the poll, to decide what shape that scene is going to take, exactly!

Patreon Rewards: It's All Fun And Games...

...At least for the ones having fun with Erica! Seems like she is the best "subject" for a little experimentation, wouldn't you agree? As always, I hope you like what's here, and big thanks for all the support! ^_^

June Release: Monsters, Orgies, and More!

So, here we are! Sorry about not posting the dev blog yesterday, but I kind of forgot, and the release was right around the corner anyway, so when I noticed I decided to focus on the bugs, instead. I actually also got slightly side-tracked by tracking down some bugs for a recent browser conversion of an old game of mine (I thought it would be smooth sailings, but there were unforeseen problems), but that can wait, while Caliross can't (or something along these lines)! Without further ado, her...

Question Time #2: Tag The Target

As always, here is the second vote for anyone in the upper echelons of the Patreon world! XD

I hope you like at least one of the options. ^_^

Question Time: Laser Focused Lewds

In the coming months, I'll be focusing more on quests and gameplay in general, and I'll write less scenes as a result. This probably means only the top category of the poll will get some content (barring any extra-time on my hands, really inspired moments and so on).

Having said that let's get on with the show! Pick the path/category you prefer among those, and have fun voting for which one will be top priority this month!

Art Attack: Girls Just Want To Have Fun (NSFW)

So, here is our monthly artwork showcase! Stan did once again a good job, and there are all sorts of positions this time around (I really like the ones with Dominique and Beatrix).

I hope you guys like these as well. Make sure to bring up any scenes which are still missing appropriate art for them, in case I forgot something, and look forward to the next update. ^_^

Weekly dev blog: A Brief Recap

This week I worked on a new group scene (a lesbian one this time, available in the VIP area of the QoH), and then I worked a bit on the H-scenes list, and on some stuff for chapter 6 (maps and some cutscenses). I also did some work on the short story update for this month and I am halfway through a new scene with the spider lady, but I am unsure about a few details, so we'll see if I'll have to rewrite/tweak it or not.

Not much else to report, at the moment. The polls and art preview wi...
