Alright! With the release of Build 8 for $5+ Patrons on the 31st, it's a bit past time for the public release of Build 7! The short delay was caused by two factors. One, there were enough major changes between Build 7 and Build 8 that I essentially needed to rewrite the entire walkthrough/guide, which took most of yesterday. Two, there were a few bugs I found while making Build 8 that were critical ...

Whew! Sorry this is coming out so late the day after release! The reason for that is that...I essentially rewrote the entire guide from scratch. It was confusing to navigate as it was (or I thought so, at least), not very accurate in places, and I'd changed quite a bit in the most recent build. Hopefully, the new version should be easier to build, and it's definitely more accurate. Maybe not 100%, it's possible I missed a thing or two. But it should be a lot better than the previous ...

Ta-da! I present to you, an on time Left Hand Magic release! Admittedly, the android version isn't going to be up until later, but even it should be up well before midnight. I will drop a warning for $10 patrons though...I changed enough stuff that I need to massively overhaul the Guide. It won't be out until sometime on the 1st. Honestly, the thing was kinda cumbersome and in need of an overhaul/restructure anyway...

Time for a progress report! Probably the last one before release, actually! Since there's just Left Hand Magic to cover at this point, I'll dive right in.
Honestly, I can mostly just say 'so far, so good.' I have 6 of the 8 scenes already coded and written. A seventh one is coded but not written yet. The last one I haven't touched just yet. I was admittedly hoping to get the coding for that one done over the weekend, but it's honestly not a big deal that I didn't. As it is, I expe...

Alright! With the release of Cyberworld (Part 4) earlier today, it's also time for one of the previous Royalty Exclusives to move to the Upper Class Tier. In this case, things work out particularly well, since it's Part 3 of the same series that is due to move! Cyberworld Part 3 was the first revisit to the Cyberworld series since the original two comics, this time in the Mixed Media format I've com...

Left Hand Magic
This is actually the best news overall. In order to figure out what to do with Trix and Revina, I ended up having to essentially pull apart their routes and figure out exactly what was needed. I didn't do this with Arianna and Talia's routes, because it was fairly easy to generate opportunities to pick up a dom point or two.

Left Hand Magic
First and foremost, for those that didn't bother to look, the final result of the Focus Poll was a 60/40 split. With the winner being "Fix the Early Game Content." I admit, I'm very mildly disappointed by that result. Not because I have a problem with it (I would never have made it an option if I did), but simply because it's likely to push back the final release of the game into next year. I was really <...

Okay everyone! My standing policy on my patron-support games is that they are all made free, eventually, to some greater or lesser extent. And that goes for the short The Morning After just as much as it does my larger games. Though, in this specific case, I'm choosing to deploy it via itch.io. Mostly so that people have a simple way to donate if they decide they like the game.

Edit: There's a 18.1 html file attached now, to fix an issue that could result in you getting stuck in the Orchestra chastity belt. Make sure to download the correct version (Compressed or Full depending on which you have). It should fix even already broken instances, simply by performing at the Orchestra a second time. The online version has to fix as well.

Edit: There's a patch for the chastity content attached to this post as Haven's Port 19.1, both for the compressed and full versions. This fixes some bugs that occur after you perform in the Orgasm Orchestra or do Merixa's content. Just replace your Haven's Port.html file with the one in the patch and it should fix the issues.

Alright. Things are going a little better than expected. But not enough that I'm going to manage to release by midnight tonight. Currently, I have 16/18 scenes written, with 6 of those edited. I'm fairly sure I can finish the writing by midnight and the editing by sometime tomorrow morning when I crash. That will still leave testing, publish, and a few minor bits like credits. Currently, I'm projecting that the game will be out either very late on the 1st, or early on the 2nd. So, minimal del...

Trying to extend it any farther would have just been an attempt on my part to pad the word count, without really adding anything to the story.

Renders are just about done, as it happens. In total, there will be around 17-18 scenes in the build. I swear the number keeps changing every time I count them. I'm almost certain the answer is 18, though. A couple will be variants, but they are major variants, not minor ones, so I'm counting them a...

The PC I use for Photoshop work has simply been running pretty much continuous renders for the Silas Station release.

This is going well so far. In addition to the pair of long-form scenes I needed to do for the first patron spirit of Rose Garden, I've actually managed to knock out the renders for three 'General' scenes, with a fourth nearly complete. Admittedly, three of those were alternates of each other, but they are still full scenes rather than just one or two alternate images. And the fourth is entirely unrelated to that set of ...
