Old Rewards Archive Updated

Okay! Sorry about this getting delayed a bit, but it got lost in the shuffle of other stuff I was juggling. With the release of the lastest Mass Effect: Final Error update, the Old Reward Archive for All Patrons needed updated as well! In this particular case, it was Eros Academy: Acquiring a Violet that was due to...

Mass Effect: Final Error - Interlude 3

Okay! As promised, I've got a new release for Mass Effect: Final Error to share. It covers the final batch of preparations before the war with the reapers starts...and the opening move of the war, too. Along with, as it happens, Oriana managing to get a certain straight woman into bed, again. As usual, it's attached as a PDF! Les usual, I've also attached it as a EPUB format as well, for anyone that prefers that.

I also have an announcement for anyone interested! The Fanfiction...

Progress Report

Alright! I actually have a couple of this month's rewards ready or near ready. But I figured I ought to make a progress report first. I'll make a rare exception to my usual 'one post a day' rule and release a story reward tonight. But for now...

Left Hand Magic

I've finished Trix's weekend content, though it's going to need a LOT of post-processing this time -_-. That's going to be annoying. But it's mostly a lot of little stuff, like leaves poking through places ...

July Poll Results

Okay! Just barely squeaking this in before midnight, but that technically counts as today! Which is, you know, when I said I'd post the results...

Anyway! Results ahoy!

Focus Poll

------

Trix/Revina Threesome Route - 37%

Trix's Route - 26%

Talia's Route - 15%

Arianna's Route -11%

Arianna/Talia Threesome Route -7%

Revina's Route - 4%

------

Well! That's more than a bit of a scramble from the previous popularity ...

Progress Report

Well, since the polls will be done at midnight tonight, I figured I ought to sneak in a quick progress report before then. I'll put the poll results up sometime tomorrow. Sorry I've been a bit silent, but I've been busy with my nose to the grindstone on both Left Hand Magic and the new fanfic patreon stuff (with should launch in the next couple of days). Obviously, with the poll results not in yet, this will only cover a few points...

Left Hand Magic

As you can see from the attach...

July - Short Story Poll

Okay. So, there's a bit more to say here. Mostly because I'm going to warn everyone outright that the second short of the month is actually going to be a piece that's actually intended for the Fanfiction Patreon I've mentioned a few times. I have absolutely got to get that thing up and running this month, in order to give it a month or two to see if it will help alleviate my funding issues. If it doesn't, I'm going to have to seek out more contract work again...which would, frankly a...

Left Hand Magic - Focus Poll

Okay...I'm going to be honest here. This poll might end up being pointless. The goal for this month is to knock out all of the weekend 4 dates, if possible. However, I also need to clean up the last of the needs for Weekday 4 events. (Basically just a new scene or two to do if you have no other scenes but. In example, if you're on a threesome route but don't qualify for either girl's solo content, then there's only three weekdays worth of events. I want to avoid having to fo...

Haven's Port - Build 20 - Public Release

Okay! With the release of Build 21 for Patrons, it's also time for Build 20 to go public! It was/is a BIG build, too! Nineteen new scenes, most of them medium or large size, 148 new renders in total. With Build 20 all six of the Patron Spirits are now in the game, with their paths complete. And Rose Garden is...almost complete. Fiona is still missing her date, sadly. That was the 20...

Haven's Port - Build 21 - Walkthrough

Whew! Got this out reasonably quickly. Obviously, if you haven't noticed yet, Haven's Port Build 21 is out. Which means it's time for an updated guide! Particularly since some of the new stuff is a bit more complicated than usual! Anyway, as always, the guide is attached as a PDF. And, as usual, you can find just the new content by search *New* (complete with asterisks) within the document. ...

Haven's Port - Build 21

Whew! Sorry again for the delay everyone! I also apologize for slightly missing the midnight quote I gave in my last note. I actually finished around 9:30pm, but I had a lot of trouble with the upload for reasons unknown -_-. Seriously, every step of the way, even just transferring between my own systems on my own network, caused issues >_<.

On the plus side though...hooollyy waffles, there is a lot more in this build than even I realized. In point of fact, my previous co...

Quick Note 2

Okay guys and gals. Almost everything is done. Writing and editing is all wrapped up, all that's left is testing. But, I'm at the 'fuck, everything is blurry' stage of wiped out. I need to crash for now. I should be able to to the build out by midnight tonight still, the testing is just proving to be more troublesome than I have the focus to finish before getting some sleep. Sorry :-(. 

Quick Note

Not a full progress report, just keeping everyone posted. Things are going a bit better than expected. I've gotten 12/20 scenes written, with 5 of them also being edited. I think I can finish the writing at least by midnight tomorrow. But the editing likely won't be done until sometime morning of the 1st. After that, I'll still need several hours for testing/bugfix, as the changes this time were kind of complicated. Then another couple of ours for conversion to webp and uplo...

Progress Report

Whew. Okay, so obviously this is entirely about Haven's Port, since it's the last reward for the month that isn't already out. Unfortunately, I'm going to say right off the bat that there almost certainly going to be a day or two of delay. 

Why?

Because holy whale balls, I way underestimated both the amount of programming and the amount of writing I'm going to need to do for this build. By a lot. After two days solid of programming (normally the fas...

Xanadu Emporium (Part 2) - Upper Class Release

With the release of The Virtual Trap (Part 2) for Royalty Tier folks, it's also time for one of the previous exclusives to be released to the Upper Class tier! In this case, it's the second release of Xanadu Emporium (The continuation of the Silas Station series if you've forgotten). 

The Emporium has new employees, and Tara is eager to be used more as a model for demos than hav...

Progress Report

Alright! Time for another progress report. I admit I'm not entirely happy with how things are going so far, but it's nothing horribly bad. Simply concerns about getting Haven's Port out exactly on time. But I'll get to that below.

Haven's Port

So, there is actually a fair bit of Good news here. For one thing, this is a bigger sized build. The total render count (assuming I don't make any more last minute) is a whopping 126. Which isn't a record, but puts this build firmly...

Old Reward Archive Updated

With the release of Alyia and the Magic Shop: Enchanting Experiments, it's time to shuffle another story into the Old Rewards Archive for All Patrons as well. In this case, it was the The Fitness Plan. A Chastity-themed story that is currently a one-shot. If you haven't gotten a chance to read it yet, g...

June Short Story - Alyia's Magic Shop

Alright! I decided to go ahead and power through finishing up the second short of the month. Even if that leaves me with less time to work on the Mixed Media short than I'd like. I'm fairly happy with the result, and it came out at a more typical size than the first short, being right around 4,500 words. As usual, the story is attached as a PDF. Enjoy Alyia's first experiment with making a complex enchantment of her own...and a bit more fun beyond that besides!

Progress Report

Okay! It's a bit passed time for a progress report, but I didn't want to post it yesterday since I put the first short story of the month up. As I'm sure most of you are aware, I try not to do more than one major post a day so that they don't get lost in/clutter up people's feeds. The one exception to that being when I put up the polls for the month. Regardless, progress report time is certainly do! Thankfully, it's largely good news.

Haven's Port

By the time I crash in a few hour...

Old Reward Archive - Updated

Whoops. Usually do this right after uploading a new story, but got distracted earlier, apparently...

...

...

...

ANYWAY, the Old Rewards Archive has been updated with the previously-exclusive The Starship Promise: Key to Success. As usual, it's simply been added to the zip archive for it's series. Go check it out if you haven't had a chance yet! 

Eros Academy - Acquiring a Violet

Whew! Finally got this finished. Part of the reason it took so long is that...it's short. As in, it was too short. Despite having covered what I wanted it to. So such I took a bit of extra time to poke and prod at it, expanding a few bits of it slightly. It's still on the short side, just under 3,900 words. But I couldn't do much more with it without making it feel rambly. So...sorry for it being short? I'm only sort-of sorry, though, since I'm actually quite happy with it despite th...

Progress Report

Alright! Life has been kicking my ass a little...but I have been making progress. Not as much as I'd like, but a decent amount. 

Haven's Port

So, I've made something of an adjustments here. First off, I'm formally admitting that I'm going to need two more builds after t June's to finish up Haven's Port. Up until now, I'd honestly been pushing to see if I could do it in two (this month's and one more). But that's just not going to happen. So, there will be tw...

June - Poll Results!

Alright! Polls ended last night (or this morning for the ones I forgot to see a midnight deadline on). So let's see the results!

Haven's Port - Focus Poll

...

...

...

Seriously? A three way tie? Well, I can safely say that the only ending option I WON'T be working on is Arena Champion, I guess? I...suppose I'll look at my plans for the three that tied and see which one will be easiest to start with? Off hand, that's probably the Merchant Princess...

Progress Report

Salutations everyone! I actually meant to post this yesterday, but had a few minor life issues crop up and steal the time I would have done so away. Obviously, since the polls aren't finished yet (Make sure you got vote if you haven't yet! They end in a day!) I can't cover too much. But it's not like I've been idle, so...

Haven's Port

I've gotten a solid running start so far, I have the renders for four scenes already done, with another one in progress as I type this. As ...

June - Short Story Poll

Okay! Last of the regular polls for this month. Though there's likely to be a mid-month data-collection poll again. I'm starting to form up ideas for what game will follow up Haven's Port and will be continuing to collect information on what you lot are looking for! For now, though, the short story poll! Note that Alyia and the Magic Shop has returned this month. Since that gives us a pretty full roster, I've declined to add any more old stories series for the sake of preventing the choices f...

June - Haven's Port Focus Poll

Okay...so we're getting down to the final few builds. Two at least, three at most, before Haven's Port officially wraps up! That means there isn't a lot of content to choose from...but the choice is still yours! The only things that will for sure be in this build are the remaining Dates for Rose Garden and a set of Dates of Lexie on The Isle of Jerta. That's no more than seven total scenes, max. The rest of the build will be me working on scenes for Endgame material. I should be able...

Left Hand Magic - Build 8 - Public Release

Alright! Since I released Build 9 for my $5+ Patrons yesterday, that means it's time for Build 8 to go public as well! Build 8 was something of an unusual one, so it might be worth actually reading the ramble that follows...

After Build 7, I noted that my choice to expand the Threesome content into full, independent routes (which wasn't really the original intention) had caused some things to ...

Left Hand Magic - Build 9 Route Guide

Alright! Sorry this took most of a day to get out. I kinda crashed hard after the game release yesterday morning and didn't really wake up until like 8:30 last night. Then had to immediately get one top of my contract work. 

Thankfully, most of the scenes should have been pretty easy to access. Seven of them were simply direct extensions on Talia and Revina's routes. The other three, admittedly, the Guide might be helpful in finding/activating. Particularly in the case of the Revin...

Left Hand Magic - Build 9 - $5 Patron Releae

Whew! I kept the delay down to less than seven hours! Honestly, if it wasn't for how long the Build, image conversion, and upload processes take, I might actually have gotten the release out before midnight last night. Which is frankly something of a surprise. One generated mostly by my sleep schedule being royally screwed up at the moment. But, hey, at least something positive came out of that. So...yay! I guess?

Anyway! This Build is pretty sizable, 10 scenes 13 new animations. And a ...

Quick Progress Report

Alright, going to try and keep this one short. Just dropping in to let everyone know how things are going. I managed to cram a lot in over the weekend, getting all of the programming and about half of the writing done. I managed to finish the rest of the writing yesterday/this morning. And even got through 3/10 scenes with an editing pass. 

That's better than I expected, allowing me to make up a bit of time. But I still doubt we're going to get an on-time release. I won't get as mu...

Progress Report

Ah, crap. It's been a full week since I did a progress report! Sorry everyone, life has been kind of throwing issues my way and I lost track of how long it had been -_-. That said, all rewards for this month EXCEPT the game are already out. So this is basically just a status report on how the Left Hand Magic build is going. 

The answer to that is...not horrible? But not fantastic either. First off, the renders/animations are all done, including post-processing for them. I ...
