Art Attack: Fun Times With Edith (NSFW)

Here is a little something to look forward to in the next release. Your money is well spent, I think, but do you have a favourite among those? Let me know, if you do.

As always, these are all drawn by  Stan, Make sure to commission something to him, if you are looking to getting some art done!

The polls will go live either tomorrow or the day after, so... Uh... Warm up your mouse to be ready? Look b...

Weekly dev blog: Quest Complete!

Well, it was a small-ish quest, but it still took its time. Finishing a quest in less than week really is difficult, no matter how short the quest is. Specifically, we'll be going on a short trip to court with Eliza, to solve a minor Nari emergency. We get a kind of sexy moment with her at the start, and a sexy scene at the end (although it doesn't involve Erica XD). The mechanics of the quest aren't completely new, but I did try to remix them a little bit. It's mostly dialogue based, and I h...

Weekly dev blog: Crossing Things Off the List

This week I wasn't feeling too inspired, so I took the time to handle some of the busywork. I think the walkthrough is almost 100% up-to-date at this point, although I need to do a second pass and check the notes on areas which were first written a while ago (Tarkas might have a few things missing, as well as Rahib, probably). Once that's done, all I'll have to do is work on the H-scenes list, and update the walkthrough whenever a new update is out. It will be nice to have the documentation o...

Hotfix: Take Two

Here is another hotfix for this version. As it turns out, there still were at least a couple of issues:

• Fixed issue with the new werewolf path (beating the wolves closed the new path, even if it shouldn't);
• Fixed an issue with the gallery (3 of Eliza's CGs didn't properly unlock);

The first one particularly stings, since that one made the point of adding the second way to become a werewolf moot. >_<

Anyway, here is the link:

Weekly dev blog: Pony Up!

Err, I mean... Let's try to get the pony path finished this month! I think another couple of scenes should do the trick. Today, though, I just worked a bit on the H-scenes list, adding Eliza to it. Other than that and fixing a couple of really minor bugs, I didn't do much, I decided to be lazy after the weekend, because it kept me a little busy in a few ways, both related to the game and not.

I did get to play some Civ 4 & 5, however, so I am pretty happy about my days off, regardle...

H-scenes list "early beta"

So, I think now it's a good time to share the very early and unfinished version of the list, so I can get feedback. I tried to list as much stuff as I can about each scene, but I honestly don't know if players want more info, less info or even a different format, so please, if you use this type of list, do let me know what you think.

Hotfix: This Is The Release You Are Looking For

Just pretend the previous update never happened!

IT. NEVER. HAPPENED.

So, this is July's update! This one fixes the crash when you went to sleep! Also, I forgot to list this bugfix before, but I fixed one of Jin's and one of Beatrix's scenes, which showed just a black screen, despite already having CGs.

Second Draft: Jail Epilogue

I think it's time to decide how Alexandra ends up in this scenario. It feels like there aren't too many alternatives, but these seem all potentially good ways to close it out. Vote-vote-vote!

First Draft: Alexandra and the Gangs

Here is another update for Alexandra's (mis)adventures. I feel like I didn't advance the scenario a lot, but at least what's there is quite sexy, in my opinion. Next time, I'll have to write the ending, though! More on that in the poll. For now, enjoy the story! ^_^

July Rewards: Erica's Wild Ride

I mean, we did get the minotaur art this month, how else was I supposed to name this post!?!?

Joking aside, I hope you like the art. I think there are some nice pieces in this package, so you can at least see them as the artist made them originally, rather than suffer the low resolution of VX Ace. Thanks for the support, and enjoy! 

July Update: Polish and Ponies

So, here it is, the much awaited(?!) update for the month of July. Since monday, I did the usual round of bugfixing from the testers' feedback, worked a little on the walkthrough, greatly expanded 3 scenes in the pub job (and reworked how you get your scenes, to remove most of the randomness), and took care of a few miscellaneous things.

Anyway, the link is here:

Weekly dev blog: Snail Week

This was a pretty awful week, as far as progress goes. The new event to become a werewolf is finished (there are even some optional sexy bits), but I wasted ungodly amounts of time on it, re-writing this and that until I was finally satisfied.

I also spent a significant chunk of time working on the tileset for the game's final chapter (chopping and attaching together anything I thought could be useful from various tilesets). I am still coming up a bit short for the external sections, so...

Weekly dev blog: More! MORE!

So, this week I added a new scene for the ponygirl path, and promoted our nameless miner to named NPC (he is Cliff now, as you'll learn). He can now be hired to be your handyman as well (he allows you some modicum of customization in the garden, for now, and Lady Rayne is very happy to see your new flowers). I am unsure if I want this to give you an extra "point" during the noble party or not (feels like it would be a pretty big deal). Then again, maybe it should be a big enough deal, and thi...

Question Time #2: Pick Passionate Paramours

Drop your second vote in here, while nobody is looking!

Question Time: Choose Charming Chicks

Back with the usual waifu poll. It's been a while since we did one of others, but at this point, I feel it's easier to organize my work if I don't let you guys vote on the focus for each update. Maybe once I have handled most of the unfinished stuff, we can go back to voting on these.

Anyway, I dropped Sonya since she won last time, and I added the option to vote for the ponygirl path. Maybe I'll go through the other paths as well, although at that point it won't be much of a waifu cont...

Art Attack: What's Shaking? (NSFW)

Usually, it's Erica's body, in this game at least. Here is this month's eyecandy, courtesy of  Stan. I wonder if adding a scene where you work for Sonya, but doesn't feature her is considered cheating on the poll's results, but it's part of her path, so it should be fine, right?

As usual,  I think these turned out very nice, but do let me know what you think. ^_^

These will all be in the next r...

Weekly dev blog: My Little Pony(girl)

So what did  I do this week? Other than the bugfixing and adding a new hireable lighthouse guardian (both of these showed up in the hotfix) I added two new scenes for the ponygirl path, and added a new way to earn a Queen of Hearts VIP pass. I thought the simplest thing was to attach it to the model job, so getting the pass from the Kairos party just means you'll get it earlier (the other pass won't show up before chapter 2) and if you do get the pass at the party, you'll get some extra ...

Late Hotfix, Early Update? :p

So, bug reports piled up during the week. It's all minor stuff for the most part, but there are 5 of them at this point, so it didn't sit well with me to leave things as they are. 

I tried to lock off some of the new content I added so far, since no testing has taken place at this point. Thankfully, I had decided to work a bit more on the walkthrough and the h-scenes list these days, so there wasn't a lot to cut out. There is still a small change I couldn't wall off (you can now hi...

Weekly dev blog: A New Dawn

Well, a new week, a new month (but not really) a new dev blog! I released the game during the weekend, so as you can Imagine, I didn't work on much since then. I actually took today off, to rest a little bit and clear my head, so I am going to restart from tomorrow. This month, I'll do some work on the mage guild's main quest finale (I might do it slowly, so it might not get done this month), and I have plans to focus more on the ponygirl path (hopefully I can finish it), continue working on ...

Second Draft: Alexandra X Sergeant

So, you have read the new update (hopefully). Where should this path end? What's the final idea our brilliant sergeant has in store for Alexandra? You decide (sort of)! We can always explore some of these ideas more in full with a path of their own, perhaps, but for now let's decide where does this lead, ultimately!

First Draft: An Eye Opening Jail Visit

AEOJV for short, and ease of pronunciation! Our intrepid detective sinks further and further with each scene, poor her (and lucky us). I hope you'll like the new scenes! ^_^

June reward: I Hear You Guys Like Sexy Stuff

Thanks again for your support. Here is the latest load of HD so that your eyes don't have to bleed while looking at the art. Enjoy the glorious quality that can only be achieved outside of my game! XD

June update: Mages and Mansions

https://mega.nz/file/MVo13LCC#bNjgw7KSa98Jlt87obJ4k8QzmZySXMN2mq5isoM29aw 

A new month, a new release! I got some interruptions during the week, but I managed to wrap things up. I bought a new PC, and it took me forever to move the files around, as well as almost deleting some important stuff by mistake, and there was some maintenance stuff we had to do in the house, bu...

Weekly dev blog: Pit Stop

So, I finished the quest, wrote 2 scenes for the harem path, and 1 for the ponygirl path. I also released a test version for the testers, so I have been doing the usual round of fixes to make sure most problems are taken care of before release. I'll have to send a second version to the testers soon, since there were a few issues here and there that I handled, but mostly it's been fine.

I also took the time to slightly rework the first temple. The last floor there wasn't great, so I rewo...

Weekly dev blog: The Neverending Quest

So, I ended up working on the quest this week as well. Adding content for transforming as Baldur took more time than I was expecting, as I decided to introduce a few more differences (after all, it would be boring otherwise, right?). The "regular" paths are already finished, so it just needs some finishing touches now. I'll be working on the new content for the harem path next, as I anticipated.

Sometimes I feel bad working on the alternative paths like this, because I wonder how many p...

Art Attack: Playing with "Friends" (NSFW)

Here is your monthly art preview. As usual, I think we have quite the variety on display, but what do you guys think? All the drawings were made by Stan, so make sure to check him out if these tickle your fancy and you want him to work on a commission for you.

There are a couple of CGs here I really like, but overall I think they are all very nice, don't you agree? ^_^

Question Time #2: Booty Calls... Twice

Same rules as the previous poll, like every other time. Upset the geopolitical landscape of waifus with your extra votes! XD

Question Time: Balloting Beatiful Babes!

Keeping with the recent polls, I am letting you guys vote on which girls get priority for the next few CGs. Winner gets 2, runner up gets 1. I dropped Eliza from the list, since she won last time. This time I extended the list a bit more, but there are still names not in there, so make suggestions for next time, if you want. But enough about my ramblings, go ahead and vote!

Weekly dev blog: A girl, an Archmagus and a Noble...

...Walk into a bar. Did you hear this one before? No? Well, I am not surprised, it doesn't happen like that in the game either. Look forward to see how this quest will play once I am finished, though!

The regular paths for the new quest are almost ready. I still need some extra work on more NPCs, and perhaps a trap or two, but the core events and puzzles are there. I also need to decide how different I want the quest to be if you play as Baldur (I am planning for this to be another ques...

Patreon changes about sales tax

I assume most people already know about this, but in case the news didn't hit all of you already, Patreon is required by law to introduce sales taxes on some of the donors. It's a country by country rule, based on whatever laws the country you live in has. I actually thought everyone already paid VAT, since I had to whenever I tried to support a creator, but I was wrong. XD

Patreon didn't give us a list of affected countries or anything, but they did mention they will contact patrons t...
