Howdy all! I'd say Happy Holidays...but I'm still planning a post for Christmas Eve, so I'll hold it until then ;-). For now, we're due for a Progress Report!

ANYWAY. It's going mostly pretty well. If I keep on pace, I should completely finish the rendering for the game tonight. Basically all that's left is a single set of auxiliary renders. At worse, I might need to run a few tomorr...

Alright! It's been five days since I last said much...so past time I checked it! Admittedly, I'd intended to do so yesterday, but releasing the Wallpapers for the Royalty Tier slid a day, bumping the progress report in turn. Regardless, most of the news is good news, so let's get on with it!

Alright! So, I spent the weekend brainstorming and mapping things out. Then I spent what time I could today doing research on the handful of new assets I need. As much as possible, I'll be using existing assets. Purchasing like 40 new assets for a one-shot game would be stupid. But there will always be a few new things I need. And I needed to map it all out. Or, well, at least the core stuff. Speaking of which...
I now have a solid idea what this game is going to be like. I kn...

Okay! Poll time! Given that we're on temporary break from Left Hand Magic and Haven's Port for this month, there can't exactly be a focus poll. (Read here if that caught you by surprise). As a result, this poll and the Mixed Media Short Poll, which is already up, are all she wrote for polls this ...

With the release of The Long Haul: Exploring Limits for $3+ patrons, the Old Rewards Archive is in need of an update as well. In point of fact...it's in need of two updates. During the chaos last month, I didn't get it updated when I released Novembers first short. I apologize for that...but I did make sure to make a note of it, so I could update it when I finally got The Long Haul ...

Alright! Better later than never...right? November's second short, the as-voted-for new entry for The Long Haul series, is finally ready. It's a tiny bit rougher and a tiny bit shorter than I'd have liked, but I think it turned out fairly decent, given how much trouble I had with it. And, at a bit over 4,000 words, it's actually not that short.
Anyway! Tara and Lana's latest adventure is attached as a PDF, as usual. Expect to see December's polls popping up tomorrow! ...

Alright. First thing's first. Yes, I've been working in the last couple of days on the remaining short story from last month (The Long Haul). It's largely done, but currently a little shorter than I consider acceptable. I'll probably try to extend a couple bits of it tonight, then edit and publish it tomorrow. A bit late, obviously. But not too horribly so.
Now, for the primary point of this post! As you all should be aware, given how often I put reminders up about it,

Alright! With Build 18 releasing yesterday for $5+ Patrons yesterday, it's time for Build 17 to go public! I was exceptionally happy with build 17, as it ended up being pretty massive, content wise. That also caused it to be a tiny bit late at the time...but that doesn't matter at this point ;-). Regardless, while you can see more details in the Release Notes below, Build 17 focused on The Is...

Okay! Out on the same day for once!
To be honest, most of Build 18 is pretty straightforward. However, that 'most' is kinda a bit important, since the Theater is a bit more convoluted. There are a few unlock requirements and such, which this guide can help with. Beyond that, I suppose it's always useful to have a listing of where all the new scenes are :-). Anyway, no changes to the Cheats. And this time, since literally the entire Rose Garden section is new and...nothing else is,...

Yay! It's on time! Of course, the final short story won't be. But that's minor compared to getting the game release out on time, so...awesome! I'll probably even manage to get the walkthrough out later tonight.
Anyway! A word or eighty about this release. You should all be aware that there's fewer scenes that usual in this build. Only 15 in total, vs the 16-20 I usually aim for. For those that aren't aware of the reasons (somehow), I lost a chunk out of the month to attending a...

Okay, so...I have...good news? Well, it's good new for you guys, anyway. It's super annoying news for me on a personal level. Anyway, said news is that the oral surgery I was supposed to have tomorrow got canceled last minute. Not the dentist's fault. Their supplier failed to deliver the physical hardware they needed and they waited until the last possible minute hoping it would show up. But, nope. Which means I get stuck waiting indefinitely while they track down what happened to th...

Alright folks, I'm back from dealing with the funeral and everything. The weekend sucked. As times, I wanted to ask the Funeral Home if they offered a discount on body disposal if I just went ahead and did in a few of my relatives. Thankfully, the better part of not-wanting-to-go-to-prison won out and I didn't choke two of them to death at the same time, one with each hand, in a fit of rage.
On that lovely note...I need to get my head back into the game, so to speak. And one of the thin...

Alright folks, progress report time.
Haven's Port
By the time I crash tonight, I will have at least 11 of the planned scenes done. Possibly 12. With the total number of scenes planned for the build cut to just 15 because of various issues that cropped up this month (including the funeral I'll be leaving town to attend) that puts me in a relatively good position. Honestly, if I didn't also have oral surgery planned for the 29th, I'd actually be pretty confident in ...

Alright! Time for the first short story release of the month. Fair warning up front, this one has a Futa as the main character (Feminine Futa with both sets of genitals if that matters). It's Futa X Female, so not that radical a departure. But still, warning given. As for why I wrote it that way...I was looking to get away from the same old-same old rut I've kinda felt like I was falling into a bit with the shorts. When casting around for an idea to experiment with, I realized that I...

Alright Polls are done with, so let's get the results out of the way first, before a brief progress update.
Haven's Port Focus Poll
This one was heavily in favor of the Rose Garden being the sole focus on the build this time. That option took the victory with 72% of the vote. Given the whole attending-a-funeral-thing forcing me to shrink the build a bit, that's honestly for the best. It will allow the Rose Garden to get a solid start despite the slightly-smaller-t...

Alright! Poll time! And diving straight into the big one, too.
First off, the Primary focus for this month's Haven's Port is the introduction of The Rose Garden, which is the Order of the Rose's faction equivalent to Jerta. A minimum of around twelve scenes will be poured into that, introducing core content/locations for the Rose Garden in the same way I did with Jerta.
This focus poll is regarding what to do with the rest of the scenes. Usually, I squeeze bet...

Okay ladies, gents, and others. I'm planning to put the polls up later today, but for a variety of reasons I wanted to put this up first. There are a few things happening this month that may complicate things for me a bit. And, well, December last year was absolute hell, so I'm starting to try and figure out what I want to do about that this year.
First and foremost, I have a surgery planned for late this month. It's nothing serious, just part of a dental implant procedure. But I have z...

Alright, with the release of Build 6 for $5+ patrons, it's time for Build 5 to go public!
I was pretty happy with this particular release. Ten new scenes, with 11(or 12, depending on how you count) animations spread between them. Since many of those animations are part of a 2-animation sequence, that doesn't mean every scene has animation. But 7 of the 10 actually do. And there's a de...

Alright. Got the updates to the Route Guide done. Sorry that there are still no cheats -_-. I seriously have got to figure out how to squeeze the time in for making those work. And, you know, for figuring out how even to make them work at all.
Anyway, honestly most of Build 6 is pretty straightforward progression of routes. There is one scene with an unlock requirement, though. So the Guide might actually be useful as more than a general outline for once.

I'll also warn you upfront to expect some bugs. I was...kinda loopy by the time I finished testing. So if I didn't miss something,...
