Poll Results + Plans for July

Alright everyone! Aside from hitting up a bunch of the usual places that I drop notices about updated, I took most of yesterday and today off. Most of, since I'm intending to tackle some asset searching and a bit of short story work in the early am, now that I know the poll results. Since those are sort of relevant to the plans for the month (very relevant in one case), I'll tackle those first.

Arianna's Kink Poll

Congratulations everyone, you managed to surprised...

Left Hand Magic Guide Update

Alright! I've updated the route guide in include all of Build 4's new content, even if most of the additions are pretty obvious. It still might be useful, since included are any extra unlocks or points that can be picked up. As well as an overview of all scenes and basic route overviews. I also took the time to create a Table of Contents this time, so you can find what you're looking for more easily.

I'd meant to get cheats into the game this build, but being sick for over a week of the...

Left Hand Magic - Build 3 (Public Release)

With the release of Build 4 for $5+ patrons just a few hours ago, it's also time for the Free Public Release of the previous Build. 

I was and am pretty pleased with Build 3.  There are 14 new 'scenes' included, 6 of them animated, and each of the  animated scenes are two-stage animations. Meaning there are a total of 12 new animations. All but one animation I'm completely happy...

Left Hand Magic - Build 4 ($5 Patron Release)

Uggggghhhh. Finally done. Even after getting some sleep, the issue with the gallery took some time to run down. And then I ran into a whole other issue trying to build the APK version for the release. I ultimately had to transfer the files over to my old laptop and build it there, because there's something screwy going on with the JDK install on the new one. I remember having the same issue with Renpy and OpenJDK before...but not how I fixed it. I think it required some registry editing and m...

Quick Note

Okay guys, I really thought I was going to have the release out this morning before I crashed. I had everything but the testing of the gallery code done. And that should have been one of the quickest things of all. That was...two and a half hours ago? I think? It's a little blurry at this point and that's sort of the point. For some god awful reason, ALL of the new gallery entries are bugged. And none of them in the same way. I must have been really out of it when I...

A Quick Update

First! Don't forget about the two polls still running. Arianna's Kink Poll and July's Haven's Port - Focus Poll are both important to their respective games. 

That said, I did want to give a quick update on the state of the Left Hand Magic release. The good news is that I'm starting to feel a f...

July - Haven's Port Focus Poll

First, don't forget that Arianna's Kink Poll is still running! Make sure to vote there as well, if you haven't already!

With that reminder taken care of...

While I normally wait until the 1st (at least) to post focus polls, July's is a bit special. As I mentioned in the most recent progress report, I need to get a jump on it early...as all content for t...

Progress Report

First! Don't forget about Arianna's Kink Poll that's currently running! It's important, so make sure you vote if you haven't yet!

With that out of the way, progress report on Left Hand Magic. It's...going. The antibiotics they put me on have made me even fuzzier and sleepier. That's not unusual of course, the body tends to respond to needing to heal by forcin...

Left Hand Magic - Arianna's Secondary Kink Poll

Alright, I put this off for a bit longer than I wanted on account of the whole 'being sick' thing. But I need to get it underway. For anyone that hasn't been paying attention, this poll is to determine a possible Secondary kink for Arianna. A similar poll has already been run for Trix, resulting in Trix getting a Pet Play Secondary kink. 

Having said that, I've actually tried multiple tim...

Progress Report

Alright folks. First thing first. As I mentioned in a post to some of the higher tier patrons already...I apparently wasn't actually over being sick. And I'm still not. I hate doctors with a passion, having had a lifetime of little but horrible experiences with them. So the fact that I finally gave in and went to the Doc yesterday so they could prescribe me something is...telling. Mostly about how miserable I've felt and the fact that it wasn't getting better. Unfortunately, because I've stil...

A Bet Maid ($10 Patron Release)

With the release of Silas Station: Consequences (Part 1), it's also time to move one of the previously Royalty-exclusive Mixed Media works into accessibility for Upper Class Patrons. In this case, the work being moved is the first(and currently only) issue/part of A Bet Maid. In which two best friends have made a bet...and now it's time for Laura to pay up after she lost. Stuck being the personal 'maid' fo...

Progress Report/Poll Results

I'm alive! Sorry it's been like six days since I last posted. I've been somewhat sick and, added to dealing with complications in development, I sort of lost track of how long it had been since I posted. Time got kinda...blurry for a few days there. I'll get to the complications in a bit. First, poll results! 

Trix's Kink Poll

Thanks to everyone who voted in the first of this series of polls! The results were pretty interesting and...fairly unambiguous. I leg...

June Short Story - An App for That (Part 3)

First! Don't forget to vote in the poll regarding Trix's future content, if you haven't already!

With that reminder taken care of, time for the first short story release of the month! An App for That ran pretty long this time, coming in at over 7,500 words. The reason for that being that I was getting a little impatient to actually ge...

Progress Report

First! Don't forget to vote in the poll regarding Trix's future content, if you haven't already!

With that reminder taken care of, time for an update on where everything is. I didn't get quite as much done this past weekend as I'd hoped, but progress was still decent.

Left Hand Magic

This is where I'm not ...

Left Hand Magic - Trix's Kink Poll

Alright, folks! I mentioned I'd be running this a couple of times, but I'll cover the point here quickly for those that haven't been paying attention. As I hope you know by now, each of the girl's of Left Hand Magic has their own basic kinks already. Arianna is an exhibitionist, Rivena has a thing for bondage, etc. In the case of Trix, of course, this 'primary' kink is her chastity belt and all that comes with it.

Having said that. 

There is nothing saying t...

June Poll Results!

Alright! Polls ended at midnight last night. So, before I crash for the day being the nocturnal creature that I am, I figured I'd give myself a headache by doing the math for the Short Story Poll. And, once that's done, there's just not much point in putting off posting the results.  Without further ado...

The Left Hand Magic Focus Poll

This was...interesting. Mostly, as it was the first indicator I've had of the popularity of the various girls. I'm actually ...

Progress Report

Okay! So...first thing's first. I actually need to talk about Haven's Port for a moment before anything else. Normally, not something that happens a week after its release. But, thanks to the efforts of George Lever (thanks George!), a bunch of bugs were found. I've added an updated .html file to the Build 15 download post that can replace your existing game file to fix the bugs for new games. Most of you won't really need it. The bugs in question were primarily the ...

Left Hand Magic - June Focus Poll!

Ta da! Surprise! I bet you were all thinking these weren't going to be a thing for Left Hand Magic. Wrong! In point of fact, I'm actually planning to allow more feedback polls for Left Hand Magic than I do for Haven's Port, giving you all a chance to shift a few bits and pieces as things develop.

These polls have been absent from LHM so far because, simply put, I needed to establish the basic world setting and develop each of the characters' personali...

June Short Story Poll

Update: Somehow missed giving Long Haul a voting option. Post a comment that it's your desired vote! Unfortunately, Patreon doesn't allow me to edit poll options once they've been posted >_<. 

Alright! Since we're on schedule for the first time in a while, it's already time for the polls! Options are pretty much the same as last month, only with the new addition of another Aylia's Magic Shop. So have at it! Remember...this poll is weighted!&n...

Haven's Port (Build 14) - Public Release

It's that time again! With the release of Build 15 for my $5+ Patrons yesterday, Build 14 is now free for the public! 

I'm quite happy with how this particular update went Sixteen scenes, several of which actually have variants, making that number a little...fuzzy. Fuzzy in the direction that there are actually more than sixteen scenes worth of content, not less. Added to the fact that m...

Haven's Port Build 15 Cheats/Walkthrough

Whew! Made it before midnight! Yay for 100% on time completion of all rewards! Feels nice! Anyway, there actually are a couple of new cheats. To be honest, I mostly made them for my own use in testing. But they'll be valuable for those who want to play new content without relying on old saves, I suppose. That's essentially what I used them for, after all. Basically, they are just supped-up versions of the Fame and Nymph/Seductress Point boosters. The walkthrough, as usual, is attache...

Haven's Port (Build 15) - $5 Patron Release

Update: All downloads have been updated to include the Build 15.2 fixes.

*Slightly less important update* A number of additional bugs were found, mostly centered around heavy cheat use to rush through the game. I've attached a new set of HTML files (which include the fixes from the others), as Build 15.2. Honestly, if you're not HEAVILY using cheats, you probably won't need it. And it won't fix a game already broken anyway do to the nature of what caused the iss...
