Alright! Poll results time. Then, probably a progress report tomorrow or Monday.
Haven's Port Focus Poll
This one was cut and dry. The result didn't particularly surprise me either, given how popular the content for the Center of Advanced Pleasure and the Theater proved to be. The overwhelming winner, taking a full 65% of the vote, was "General Content for Rose Garden." Frankly, it's been pretty obvious for a few days that it was going to win, so ...

Alright! Poll time! The other two polls are already up. So make sure you don't miss them! As for the Short Story poll...you'll know that Mass Effect: Final Error is no longer on the poll list. Don't worry if you like that story. I have plans to continue it...just not as part of this Patreon. I'll talk more about that at a later point this month. I promise, it should be a good thing for fans of that particular story, since it will mean more regular updates to it.

Alright, everyone! It's poll time again!
We're actually getting pretty close to the end of Haven's Port...relatively speaking. Don't panic about that just yet, though. There's a minimum of two full builds after this one planned (so three remaining full builds including this month's). And even after that, I'll be seeking input on what to do. More on that later.
For now, there's really only three major things left to do. The one thing I will be...

Honestly? This almost feels unneeded, given how straightforward most of the new route content is to access!
Buuuuttt, it does at least let you see what's new, as well as given you the qualifiers for the variant/alternate outcomes. There are three such in the new build, one minor and two major (in that they trigger alternate animations). As usual, I've marked the places with new content with *New* tags in order to find it easier. Which is a bit more important this time, gi...

With the release of Build 7 for my $5+ Patrons, it's also time for Build 6 of Left Hand Magic to go public. For those unaware why this is happening now, instead of in December...it's because I took a break from Left Hand Magic and Haven's Port in December. The Holidays were going to make any build for those games short...so I gave the option to my Patrons on what to do. Per their voting, I spent Dec...

Whew! Okay, my brain is mush and this is a few hours later than expected. But I refused to delay this any farther than this morning! That said, sadly there is a single new known issue, but it's a minor gallery-related thing. Specifically, that one of the scenes isn't in the gallery...because I ran out of room. I already had to spend multiple hours doing a Gallery overhaul (that's actually why I'm a little later than I thought I'd be), so I wasn't going to put myself through trying to sort out...

This is just a quick notice confirming the delay. I've finished rendering/animation. 12/14 scenes are coded and written. And I'm expecting to finish the other two in the next hour or so. If I can keep up the pace, I'll be able to do most or all of the editing tonight as well. But that will leave the testing/bugfix + the gallery.
My current expectation is that release will probably be early morning on the 2nd. If it was just testing/bugfix, I'd be confident in saying it wo...

Yeah, I said I probably wouldn't make another progress report before the release. And, honestly, this isn't a post I wanted to make. But it's one I need to make. It wouldn't be fair to all of you not to. Ripping the bandaid off right up front...release of Left Hand Magic Build 7 is extremely likely to be a day or two late, despite my best efforts.

Alright, this is probably the last major progress report I'll do before release. Might do a couple of quick notes here or there just to let everyone know how it's going. But this is the last proper progress report for the month.
So...I've officially cut the 4th Arianna's Route scene from the build. Honestly, the build is going to be the exact same size as originally planned anyway, since I had to add a Chastity Masturbation scene that wasn't in my original calculations. T...

Sorry about the day of delay folks. I should have put this up at the same time that I released the new release of Cyberworld Part 3 for the Royalty Tier. Unfortunately, in addition to the trouble Left Hand Magic is still giving me...I've also come down with a sinus-infection and kinda of feel awful -_-. I'm trying to stay on top of everything, despite that. But only sort of succeeding.

Alright, given that there are only two things left in the month, I'm not going to separate everything like I usually do. I'll just tackle each in turn.
First, simply because it's nearly done, is Cyberworld 3. All renders for it have been done and post-processed, and I'm hoping to finish the writing tonight. With any luck it will get edited tomorrow and be up either tomorrow evening or early the next morning.
That leaves just Left Hand Magic. The news there is a litt...

I'd hoped to have this out yesterday. Unfortunately, I got delayed by some frustrating issues with a Left Hand Magic animation and didn't get the editing pass done until just now. Oh well. It's still on time, after all.
Anyway! This is, as voted for in the poll, the next iteration of Alyia and the Magic Shop...with a surprise crossover appearance from another of my short short series ;-). I'm fairly happy with the result. Honestly, the only thing I'm slightly unhappy with...

Left Hand Magic
This is...going? Not as well as I'd like, but not terribly either. I've never done so many Threesome animations back to back and it's making me realize just how much more time consuming they actually are. Not only are the much more of a pain in the ass to ...

Alright. I ultimately figured that, since more people get access to the short stories than the wallpapers, I'd lead with that. I'll put the Wallpapers up tomorrow.
As regards this story...it's something of a mental palette cleanser for me. I often get stuck in a loop of feeling I need to write ever more unusual stories. Something I haven't done yet, as it were. But there's only so many combinations of stuff under the sun. And occasionally I have to take a deep breath and ...

Left Hand Magic
Things have gone a bit slower here than I'd really have liked. Mostly, it's just a result of Threesome Animations being the most time consuming to create. And the most likely to end up with issues too, requiring them to be rendered again. That's already happened with one of them.
That said, the last few frames for the Talia/Arianna/MC Weeke...

Whew! Sorry this is so later, folks! I'd hoped to get it out last night...but ran into some complications getting Daz up and running for rendering this month. I'd been resisting updating it since something always seems to break when I do -_-. I gave in...and something broke. Ended up spending a few hours getting it back in working order, which delayed the editing pass on this.
Anyway! I'm fairly pleased with the result. I really rather like Lilith and Iris! I'll be updating the Ja...

I admit, I'm a little bit reluctant to put this poll up. Mostly as the second short for last month isn't done yet. Since the others went up already, though...I'm going to go ahead. It does mean that the description of Lilith's Story (Part 3) is a bit vague, since I don't want to spoil the content of the as-yet-released short. That story should be out tomorrow, at which point I'll update the description of the Lilith's Story series. So, if you want to hold off on voting until...

So...this poll is something of a new type. Specifically because there isn't actually a winner, per se. Right now, I know that this month's build of Left Hand Magic will focus on first adding the Threesome Route content for Weekend 3. Then, after that, I'll start in on the WeekDAY content for Week 4. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that I can evenly develop all routes for Weekday 4 content in a single build.
The problem is, simply put, that the farther we go into the...

All while desperately trying to remember to date things 2023 instead of 2022! The same is true for me, as well.

Alright folks. Hopefully you've already noticed that I released the game earlier. This game is simple enough that you honestly probably don't actually need a walkthrough.

Most places have some additional text content i...
