Progress Report

Alright, overdue for a progress report. So...

Haven's Port

This is...mostly going well? Sort of? All renders are done for the 16 scenes of the build. So, that's good. I've processed them as well (mostly, I've got a few I need to process still, but I'll do that before crashing tonight). The 'sort of' bit is that I underestimated the complexity of the coding portion this time. Well, honestly, more the amount of code needed, rather than the complexity. Point...

Stranded on Silas Station 3 ($10 Patron Release)

With Silas Station Part 5 having just been released for Royalty Tier Patrons, it's time for one of the previous Royalty Exclusives to become available to the Upper-Class tier! In a fairly predictable symmetry (as it's won several times in a row), Silas Station is also the subject of the Upper Class Release. Specifically, Stranded on Silas Station (Part 4)! You'll find its PDF and a zip file with th...

Stranded on Silas Station (Part 5)

Yay! One more reward taken care of. A bit later in the month than I'd have liked, but only by a couple of days. And I think it turned out pretty well. A bit better than I originally expected, actually. In part because I actually kinda forgot that I already had assets that would work well with the direction I wanted to go. Since finding assets for transformations is weirdly hard, that was a relief. 

On another note, there should only be one more Silas Station mixed media sh...

Progress Report

#^@O&!@$ !@#%#!%(#&%. Patreon just decided to spontaneously refresh itself and wiped out the nice, long progress report I'd written. Seriously, this platform is the worst at the most basic of basic things. I swear they hire first-year college programmers desperate to pay for their coffee and pizza to handle their site code. It's the only way I can think of that it's actively this bad. 

*Sigh* I don't have the energy to rewrite everything, so short versions...

March Wallpapers

Okay! Finally got around to putting the text on these. Sorry it took so long. I just...kinda hate doing the typesetting bits. And, well, I also hadn't actually come up with a name for the new character yet. So, that was a bit awkward. Anyway! Speaking of that new character, this also serves as a bit of a sneak peak...since Guildmistress Ti'ana here is one of the three leaders of the Fleet Faction. Specifically, she's the Adventurer's Guild's Guildmistress...who also happened to be overall in ...

Short Story - An App for That

So! Finally getting one of the monthly rewards out. I'll try to get the Wallpapers up later as well. Then I should be able to get the monthly Mixed Media/Comic out a day or three after that.

As for this particular story...I admit my feelings on it are a little mixed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's even a fair bit longer than usual. But, I admit, it bothers me a little bit that it's less original than I typically try to make my works. While it's hardly a carbon c...

Progress Report

Okay, pretty straightforward this time, so I'll just jump right into it.

Haven's Port

I currently have 9 scenes worth of renders done, with a tenth that should be completed tonight. Still a tiny bit behind where I would have liked to have been, but not far enough to really matter that much. I currently don't expect any problems hitting 16-17 scenes for the month. Which, with the larger size of Faction scenes, is certainly a full sized build. Most faction scenes ha...

Progress Report

Alright, sorry I've been a bit lax on the progress reports! I've been grinding away, trying to make sure I can hit all monthly targets, but I should have taken time at least a day or two ago to give an update!

Haven's Port

This is going fairly well. I've finished 5 scenes so far, 1 short of my actual target speed, but the three longest scenes got done first. As such, I'm not particularly worried about that. As you should be able to tell from the attached images, I...

Progress Report/Poll Results

Alright! This is mostly going to be poll results, as I don't have a lot of progress to report. The renders for the Wallpapers are done. But, aside from that, I've only just started on Haven's Port today (the first scene's worth of renders are in progress as I type this). The reason for this, aside from the overrun of Left Hand Magic, was that:

1) I desperately needed a little time to relax. So on Sunday I really only did the Walkthrough for LHM and it's public release workup.&n...

Left Hand Magic - Build 1 - Public Release

Greetings and Salutations! With the recent release of Build 2 for $5 Patrons it's finally time to let the rest of the world in on the awesomeness that is my new game! Well, I hope everyone thinks it's awesome, anyway...

Basic Game Description:

A talented Battlemage, you are struggling to find work for your type of  magic in a post-industrial (Magitek/Magic Punk) wor...

Left Hand Magic - Walkthrough/Guide

Alright! As promised, I'm attaching the current guide to this post as a PDF. I think, in the future, I may have to reformat it slightly, as I'm not sure how confusing it is or isn't. Or, at least, I may need to make a simpler version in parallel? Either way, hopefully it suffices for now as is! There's also a bit of an extra at the end, mark carefully with a spoiler warning, which gives a rough overview of what it planned for each of the current routes through the game. The Harem Route isn't ...

Left Hand Magic - Build 2 ($5 Patron Release)

*staggers in and falls over*

*mutters about bugs, so many bugs*

*gathers self*

*Ahem*

Okaaay! As you can probably guess from my overdramatic moment, there were a lot of bugs with Build 2. Mostly, annoyingly, they stemmed from the Gallery feature rather than the main game. Though there were a fair few in the main game too. While my brain is, thus, fried from spending way too many hours straight bug squishing, with stops only for power naps and caffeine, the gam...

Quick Left Hand Magic Status Update

Okay, this should be the last progress report needed unless something goes critically wrong. Despite losing most of an entire day to dealing with issues caused by my state government being complete dipshits and nearly making me lose my medical coverage as a result...I'm actually almost exactly on track with my prediction of when I'd be done.

As of writing this, all code (minus some minor edits) is complete. All content written. And within another hour or two I'll have all the editing do...

Haven's Port Focus Poll - March

Alright! As with all Haven's Port months, there's a matter of the Focus Poll. First off, primary content for Haven's Port this month will be adding in the Raider Fleet faction's content to the maid island, in much the same sort of way and scale that I added the Order of the Rose content in January. Essentially, expect roughly a dozen scenes focused on building on that faction, complete with a new major character to interact with. Though, like Ryoia, ...

Comic/Mixed Media Poll

NOTE: Due to me being a dumbass (apparently). There isn't an option in the poll for A Bet Maid is a Debt to be Paid. Unfortunately, Patreon doesn't allow polls to be modified once they are already up. If you want to see that story, please comment or send me a message with a vote, and I'll tally them for it when the poll finishes. Not the best solution, but I'm reluctant to wipe the poll and start fresh since people have already been voting -_...
