Dev Update! 4/3/23

Hey, folks! Hope everyone's doing well this week!

Work continues apace for the moment. I've been forcing myself to drill down and do more renders per day than I normally do, in an effort to brute-force my way towards the finish line. To speed things along, I'm using every trick in my little toolbox.

At the moment, I'm targeting April 14th for the initial release. That gives me 11 days to whip this thing into shape. I don't know if I'll hit that release date, but h...

Dev Update! 3/27/23

Hey friends, how's everyone doing this week?

First order of business - the poll to determine Nicki's outfit for Chapter One is nearly over! Cast your votes if you haven't, yet.

In development news, I continue to chug right along. I've finished the short(ish) scene with Nicki that precedes Ashe's date, and now I'm finally, at long last working on Ashe's date proper. Only a few renders in...

Dev Update - 3/20/23

Hey friends! Hope all's well with you and yours. I had a bit of an annoying weekend. Some boner rear-ended my car and banged it up pretty good. So now I have to deal with that on top of filing my taxes, game development, my day job, real life, etc. So, kind of annoying! But hey, you're not here for that.

Over the weekend I also released a new Alpha build of the game to the $15+ tier, which features 950+ images. In addition to what's in that build, I have another 20-30 images either rend...

Wanton Weekends!

Hey friends, here's a sneak peek at some of the sexy action you can expect in the next chapter. I'm attaching them below, for anyone who'd rather not be spoiled.

Next time I'll be back here with a new short story focusing on one of the girls. So I'm curious -- who would you like to know more about?

Dev Update 3/13/23

Hey friends, hope all's well with you and yours this week!

First, a quick bit of business for $15+ patrons: this week's Sneak Peek of the Week will be up Saturday evening, instead of Friday. I have to go out of town unexpectedly on Friday, and won't be back at my PC until Saturday afternoon.

In happier news, I made some good progress over the past few days. I added a scene to the prologue of the next installment, which adds a little bit of naughty content right at the top. Remembe...

Dev Update 3/6/23

Hey folks, hope everyone's week is off to a good start! The weather's finally warming up in my neck of the woods, which has been quite nice.

First, a little business -- if you're not currently a subscriber, you may have missed that I posted a short story featuring Viola, available for all $2+ subs, right here. There's a few pieces of art, some naughty fun, and a little peek in...

Wanton Weekends - Viola

“Heart-shaped lips on mine, so sweet

Divine, divine

Paint-covered hands on my waist

Be mine, be mine

Could you see me that way, babe

Don't waste my time

Sweet and pink and punk, wanna make you

Mine, mine, mi –”

Viola sighed, her hands dropping from her guitar. “Dammit,” she muttered as she placed the instrument aside. "Trash, trash, and more trash."

Collapsin...

Dev Update - 2/27/23

Hey friends, it's good to be back!

This'll be a brief update today. I only got back from my vacation yesterday, so I took a day to let my body readjust and recover from a 20+ hour journey, and multiple plane rides/time zone changes. But, today I eased back into rendering, knocking out twenty new images.

So far I'm making excellent progress on Gabby's scene at Barron Books, and I'm sure I'...

Gone Fishin'

Hey folks! Just an FYI - I'll be out of the country for the next week, so I may be slow to respond to messages, and Patreon updates will be paused for the next few days.

Take care of yourselves, and I'll be back here on the 27th!

Dev Update - 2/13/23

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's having a good week! I've been rendering all day, and the current total stands at 640. Not too shabby! Not excellent, but not shabby.

Today I finished a scene with Mason that really shouldn't have been a pain in the ass, but I kind of made it one by setting it outside (which means cars, buildings, stuff reaching to the horizon..) and then deciding it should also feature a crowd of onlookers. In addition, the scene has some action-y elements, which c...

Dev Update - 2/6/23

Hey friends, hope all's well with you and yours this week!

The big news this week is that I crossed 500 renders for the new chapter - 544, to be exact. That's brought me to the completion of Pepper's scene, and the beginning of Wren's scene.

After wrestling with Wren's character design a bit, I decided to redo what I'd already done, with spot renders featuring her original design, in a change of clothing. I think she looks super cute -- especially alongside her bestie, Ashe!

Dev Update 1/30/23

Hey friends, hope all's well with you and yours!

Work's proceeding well on FiN - I've released a demo containing the first four scenes of Chapter Four: Part Two to the $15 tier, and reactions have been pretty positive across the board. But, I'm still working to incorporate some feedback from those fine folks, as well as correct typos and a couple of minor continuity issues. And I'm still expan...

Wanton Weekends - Ashe's Model Madness!

Like a lot of attractive young women, Ashe grew up with friends and family telling her she was so pretty, she should be a model. She tried it once, booking a job with a local photographer. But, she quickly realized it wasn't for her, and soured on the whole idea.

She's been fighting to remove these photos from the internet ever since. So, let's not spread them around, hm? ;D

Have a great weekend everyone! Be back here Monday for a new Dev Update!

Dev Update - 1/23/23

Hey friends, hope everyone's doing well!

I've had a really productive couple of days. Renders for Chapter 4: Part 2 currently stand at 325, with another 40ish to go for Pepper's scene. Once that scene is completed, I'll be releasing a new demo version for $15+ supporters to try out, which will have 350+ images, and the first three scenes. The goal for today is to finish Pepper's scene, so I can get right into packaging up the demo.

Other fun stuff you may have missed if you're not...

Dev Update 1/16/22

Hey friends, hope all's well with you and yours today!

I've finally gotten my feet under me a bit with Chapter Four: Part Two, completing enough of the script that I have some runway to render. Current render count is around 220.

As for the script, I'm about 2/3 finished with it, with renders currently something like.. 1/5 of the way done? Something like that. At the moment, there are completed renders for the opening of the next update, and the following two scenes where MC encou...

Wanton Weekends! 1/15/22

Hey folks, here's a little NSFW tease for what you'll find in the next update. As these contain story spoilers for Pepper's scene, I'm hiding them as attachments.

Have a great weekend!

Dev Update 1/9/22

Hey friends, it's Monday and you know what that means! That's right, an all-new Dev Update!

The big news of this week is just that I made significant script progress. I finished off a big scene for Mason, rewrote some content for Pepper, added some events in the opening that referenced whether you kept Gabby's files in the last installment, and  added a little Jamie content. So, things are rolling right along on that front.

More frustrating was the rendering side of things. T...

Discord Channel!

Hey hey, you folks asked for it, so here it is! Click this invite link for access to the private Neon Ghosts Discord.

I'm still figuring out what exactly I want to do with it, and how I'll manage it. But for now it'll just be another way to get in touch, and ask me questions about the game.

Dev Update 1/3/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's having a great week so far. I'll be honest, my year's off to a rough start. The day job's been bruuutal. But, such is life!

Work on FiN continues unabated, with me tweaking little things in the script as I proceed through the rendering side of things. I'm honestly not sure what the render count currently is, as some are only partially done, some will be discarded because the script shifted, etc. I should have a better estimate for ...

Wanton Weekends - 1/1/23

Hey friends, it's time for another Wanton Weekends, where I show you some teasers that are too spicy for the public posts. But, I wanted to do something a little different, and show you a few things that will be coming down the pike in 2023. 

So..

And just a heads-up: the normal Dev Update will be delayed until Monday. The day job's been brutal this week, so I need an extra ...

Dev Update - 12/26/22

Hey, hey! It's the last dev update of 2022! Hope the holidays were kind to you.

What a year it's been. I launched this little project without much in the way of expectations, only to see it grow with every update. It's easily the most successful creative project I've ever done, and the support that you folks have shown me has really reinvigorated my creative spirit. I say it all the time, but I can't thank you enough.

But hey, enough of my sentimental nonsense! You come here to kn...

Days of Christmas Past

Hope everyone's had a nice holiday! Thought I'd share what some of the characters were doing last Christmas.

See you back here tomorrow for the Dev Update!

Dev Update 12/19/22

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

First of all - wow! Response to Chapter Four: Part One has been really great. By far the warmest reception of any update I've done so far. Which is funny because it was definitely the one I had the most concerns about.
"Is it long enough? Is there enough content? Should I just wait until the whole thing is done and drop the update?"

But, everyone was incredibly generous with their praise, and we saw a bunch of...

POLL! Jamie's Photo Collection

Hey, friends!

If you haven't had a chance to play Chapter Four: Part One, you may not want to read ahead. But if you have, I need your opinion on something.

So, in the first half of Chapter Four, we learn that Jamie, Gabby's ex-boyfriend, has quite the extensive collection of nude photos of her. And if you want to, your character can take that collection from him.

I've had a number of people express interest in seeing those photos, but there's an equally ardent cont...

Wanton Weekends - Brittani's Photoshoot!

Hey gang, now that Brittani's photoshoot is concluded, I wanted to share what those photos might look like once MC is done with a little post-processing work.

Enjoy!

Friends in Need - Chapter Four: Part One

DOWNLOAD: PC ||| Mac

Hey friends, here's the final version of Friends in Need - Chapter Four: Part One. I added some images here and there, expanded a few parts with new dialogue/narration, and fixed some old image probl...

Dev Update 12/12/22

Hey, friends! First of all, in case you missed it, the newest update is currently available to most patrons - I'll be opening it up further on Thursday. But until then, work continues.

I've got a decent amount of Chapter Four: Part Two written, the issue is that a lot of it isn't contiguous - meaning I'd write one scene, and then jump ahead and write some more, and then move somewhere else and...

Dev Update 12/5/22

Hey friends, hope everyone had a great weekend!

I've been toiling away at the update today, and so far, so good! I'm a little ways into one of Brittani's three possible endings, and the current render count stands a little over 700. Gonna try to finish up two paths tonight, and then I'll just need to complete the end of one more path, and a small epilogue, and we'll be off to the races.

I'm really excited for this one! I'm not usually the type to toot my own horn, but these Britt...

Wanton Weekends - Mini-Game Girls!

Hey hey, friends! It's time for another collection of images too spicy for the public posts. 

But, I've got something a little different, today. See, a lot of what I've been working on for the last week is Brittani's big scene for Chapter Four. So, she makes up a huge portion of the nude renders. But, I have kind of an informal policy of not showing any of the girls naked, before they actually appear naked in the game. Leaving me without much to show you, today.

So, I decided...

Dev Update 11/28/22

Hey, folks! Sorry, I almost forgot to do this today! I'm fighting off a little cold, and it has me out of sorts. But, I just wanted to stop in and make sure I apprised everyone of the current progress.

Today I finished Brittani's goth girl photoshoot, bringing Brittani's full scene to 175 renders, and Chapter Four to 550 images, total. Now I just need to do her 'teacher's pet' scene, as well as the saucy bits that follow it, and I'll be good to go. I'm still racing to try to get a relea...
