Whew! I'm alive! Hopefully, all of you survived your holidays too! I've actually been back to work on the Haven's Port update for the last day and a half or so, which was enough to give me at least a general idea of a timeline. Hence, progress report.
So, the Good News is that everything is technically on schedule and if nothing goes wrong the release will come sometime on the 31st. The Bad News is that...the schedule is tight to get everything in that I want to. Not just...

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!
With the release of Xanadu Emporium Part 4 for the Royalty Tier, it's time for a previous Royalty-exclusive to release for Upper Class patrons! As you can see, this time there was a nice bit of symmetry, as it was the previous entry of Xanadu Emporium that was do for such release!

With the release of Snowed in Together for $3+ patrons, it's also time for one of the previous short stories to go into the All Patrons Old Reward Archive! In this case, the story added to the archive was/is the first entry of The Dungeon Town, a new (potential) series of interconnected shorts about a town inside a dungeon. A dun...

Alright! The second short story of the month is done. I honestly thought this was the perfect day to release it...since I set it on the day after the first day of winter. Which...is today. That and I wanted it out before the holidays! The story features Emma and Lily, to girlfriends who get snowed in at Emma's vacation home for a few days. Lily remembers that Emma used to do some hypnotism and wants to experiment with what it's like...
For now, this is intended purely as a one-shot. I d...

Alright! I'm actually on time for my usual report cycle (if I can even call it that) of progress reports for once! Pretty much all good news, too, so I'll just jump right in.
Haven's Port
Renders are finished! Barring the inevitable one or two I'll realize I forgot, at least. That pretty much always happens when I'm actually doing the writing/programming. Even as it stands, though, I'm happy with the result. Eighteen scenes, 97 renders. That's...honestly pretty da...

Haven's Port
The Last Hurrah build is going well so far, I've completely finished the chastity and futa renders, for a total of 13 scenes, and I'll hopefully be knocking out two of the Acolyte Hall scenes tonight. My current estimate is that I'm going to get roughly 18 scenes into the build. Which is a number I'm fairly ...

Alright! Sorry this is a bit later than I'd said. I really did mean to upload it last night, but got distracted by a series of minor issues with the rendering projects. Nothing major, but enough to divert my attention from uploading this.
Anyway. This is the third and final part of Truth or Dare Plus. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, though I'm unsure if these characters will ever return. It was meant from the start to be a fairly limited run. Keep in mind that it cont...

Haven's Port's Last Hurrah:
So, the voting for this proved to be pretty spread out! I guess that's a good thing, sort of, since it means people liked a lot of the game's content ;-). On the other hand, it does leave me with a bit of a juggling act for the Last Hurrah build. Let's take a quick look at how the voting shook out first off:

Alright folks! Bit of a small snippet before I get into the options! For those of you who were still following Mass Effect: Final Error, you might have noticed it vanished from Ao3. I...got into a nasty fight with the AO3 policy team. They were mean, I was mean back, but the had a bigger stick. That meant that, for a bit, the story wasn't available anywhere but my fanfiction Patreon. 2023-12-03 07:12:30 +0000 UTC

Well, this is embarrassing. I had fully planned to put this particular poll up on November 28th. Had, in fact, thought I'd done so. But apparently I got so wrapped up in the crunch to finish Left Hand Magic, that I didn't actually do it -_-. Oops? Well, anyway...the point of the poll is pretty simple. And there shouldn't be any harm done by the slight delay.
Essentially, this poll is just to determine was types of content everyone would most like to see added to the Last Hurrah build of...

Alright, folks! As I mentioned in one of the progress reports, I didn't manage to squeeze the time to enhance the cheat system in this build like I'd intended. That means we're stuck with the somewhat limited system from Build 11. Like with that build, you need to replace the Defines file in your copy of the game directory with the one included in this post, in order to enable cheats. After you do, there will be an 'enable cheats' button in the Relationship Menu that you can use to give + and...

Alright! With Build 12 having released early this morning for $5+ Patrons, it's also time for the Public Release of Build 11! Despite the issues (see the warning), I was pleased with Build 11 in general. While there are only six new scenes, two of those were the longer-format Weekend Event scenes, and two of the others are fairly long as well. In fact, in total, there are actually 10

So, no, this isn't a delay notice. Not exactly anyway. It's more just a quick note that I can't be certain the release will be out technically on time. As in, it might be after midnight. Writing, Editing and Testing are all done. Basically, I just need to do the Gallery, Credits and then conversion/compression and upload. None of that is hard. But all of it eats time. Unless something goes badly wrong, everything should absolutely be up my early tomorrow morning. But dependi...

Alright, this should be the last progress report for the month, unless there ends up being a delay. There will be a poll up starting in the next day or two, that will run through roughly the 4th of December. That will be regarding what sort of extra content Haven's Port gets in it's Last Hurrah build next month. I want as much time as possible to work on it, so I'll be starting that particular poll slightly earlier than normal.
That aside, there's just one thing left this month...

Alright! Short story is done. Remember, in an attempt to claw back from the Haven's Port major overrun this month, this is the only short story I'm doing for November :-). You lot also voted for me to surprise you with it! Which was fun, as it led to me dusting off one of my older ideas and giving it a shot. I previously hadn't tackled it as it is something of an experiment. The idea, you see, was for a setting, rather than a specific story.

November's Focus Poll
Taking a full 38% of the vote, the Trix/Revina Threesome route won this one handily. I'm pretty certain I'll be able to get through the entire Week 5 weekday section of said route this build, along with the two new scenes for Trix's Route. But as I made sur...

Alright, a quick reminder before anything else. Do to the particularly long overrun of content in October, there will ONLY BE ONE short story this month, instead of the usual two. I very, very rarely invokes this. I think, in fact, that this is only the third time I've done so since I first started making two shorts a month. Which was several years ago when we first past the $500 a month of support goal. But, this time, as the only measure I can take to keep things from cascading out of contr...

Okay! Focus poll time! This one will be a straight up route popularity poll. Note that Trix will be getting the rest of her Week 5 weekday content regardless of the results of this poll. This is just to determine who get's work on next. Given the late start into the month, I wouldn't put a strong wager on more than one girl beyond Trix getting their full content. With some luck, a third girl might get their first few scenes. But that will probably be it.
