Chastity Quest - Build 13 - Public Release

Alright! With the release of Chastity Quest Build 14 for $5+ Patrons, it's time for the previous alpha to go public-access. Thankfully, there were no major reported issues this time. So far, at least. As such, I'm simply going to copy the original release post for the rest of this...enjoy!

-----Original Post Starts Here----

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this build. Sadly, I didn't manage to include any...

Chastity Quest - Build 14 - $5 Patron Release

Okay, first....I'm sorry this is out past midnight T-T. I started upload at 2pm and at 1am the next morning, I've still not even got a complete set of platform download options. Stupid ISP choking my upload speeds. I decided to just go ahead with what I have and keep adding new links as they become available. 

Next PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE NEXT BITS. I know you all just want to play...but there's been some major changes.

1) Music - Most of the...

Chastity Quest - Build 14 - Cheats/Walkthrough

So...I'm actually releasing this BEFORE the release for once...go figure. To be honest, the whole reason this is already done is that I've been otherwise twiddling my thumbs for the past 10 hours while I wait for the uploads to finish. Hopefully, I'll be putting up the release post within the next hour or two, though even that is questionable considering how the downloads have been dragging. Grrr.

Anyway, as there's a new area, the cheats have been updated (as usual). Scroll to the bott...

Quick Note

Chastity Quest Build 14 is done and the uploads have been running for a few hours already at this point. Unfortunately, they are crawling. I have no idea when they will finish and it's only the first round of them. There will likely be at least one download option for each platform type up sometime tonight. But that's about all I can promise. 

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to speed up my internet connection. I'm paying for far more speed than I'm getting, but the bastards...

Comic - Cyberworld (Part 2) - $10 Patron Release

Alright! With the release of the most recent comic reward for Royalty Tier Patrons, it's time to release one of the previous comics for the $10 crowd. In this specific case, that means Cyberworld Part 2 is now avaialble to you all. Seventeen original renders, 39 total pages, and one of the comics I'm most happy with so far. Give it a look! It's available attached to this post as both a PDF version and a zip file. T...

Comic Reward - The Side Gig - Part 1

Alright! So, with the allowance of the one person who actually voted, I decided to do an experiment for the 'comic' reward this time. In truth, the result isn't a comic...though it actually has roughly the same number of renders as the comics I've been making thus far. I wasn't actually planning for that to be the case...it just sort of happened. I was aiming for 10-12 renders...and ended up with 19. Oops. 

Regardless, this was actually still less effort on my part, and less stress...

Short Story Reward - Academy Maid Service: Maid Lyn (Part 1)

Alright, folks....I admit I'm being slightly under-generous. Only a tiny bit, though. Essentially, I'm in pretty bad need of some breathing room, the schedule of releases for various rewards is a bit more brutal than I'd originally hoped when I committed to all of it. I have various plans on addressing that long term, such as the experiment with the comic reward I'm running this month, but at the moment I just REALLY need to buy a bit of breathing space.

Which is where the rewa...

Progress Report - Various

Alright, again this is a bit overdue for how often I try to give updates, but I wanted the Poll Results from the first poll about a new game to have a couple of days before it got replaced with new news. 

Chastity Quest: 

This is more or less on schedule. I've only got a bit of writing left on the third batch of 10 scenes, and then I'll be headed into a few day...

New Game - Poll 1 - Results

Okay, I've been putting this off way too long. Mostly because, frankly, I've been trying to figure out what to actually do with the results, as they were...more varied than I expected. First, let's look at the results themselves. As a reminder, the question I asked for the poll was which subject/topic(from the list) was the primary thing you liked about my games. These were the results:

From Patrons:

Chastity Content - 14

General Bondage/BDS...

Chastity Quest - Progress Report

Alright! A bit overdue for an update I think, though it's mostly pretty straightforward and I'm mostly on schedule. I did have a bit of a power outage a day ago that slowed progress, but it wasn't a huge deal. I only lost a couple of hours of time, really. So far, since last time, I've:

Finished the second set of 10 scenes (meaning currently we're at 20/30 for this update).

Finished the Dom Lock/Unlock and Dominance Cap systems. I figured out the issue I was having. No thanks to t...

Short Story Follow Up Poll

Soooooo, I was going to post the results of both the Short Story poll and the Next Game poll (part 1). Crunching the numbers on the latter took a couple hours, which is why I'm only getting to posting now...buttttttt the results of the short story poll caught me off guard and require a follow-up poll. As a result of this, I will most likely work on a one-off short story first, so that this can run for five days or so. Well, that and the comic. Need to get on that, even if I'm doing something ...

Chastity Quest - Progress Report

Past time for a progress report, I think. In truth, I had originally intended to wait until I'd processed the Poll Results as well, but my brain is too fried to do it right now and we're a bit overdue for a progress report anyway. So far this month, I've basically been focusing solely on Chastity Quest so far, so I'll keep the progress report just limited to that this time. Thankfully, I've made a decent amount of progress, though slightly less than I'd have wished.

First and foremost, ...

Haven's Port Build 9 Fix

I am a dumbass.

Thanks to George Lever, I was made aware that the Date content for Build 9 was not working. The problem turned out to be exclusive to completely new games. So if you were playing off the save of a previous Build, it wouldn't have effected you at all. What happened, in short, was that I forgot the actually initialize the new B9 variables for new games. I did initialize them for old saves, which is why I didn't notice, since I test using s...

....

Ta-da! I can finally present the first little spoiler(ish) of what the final Hub Area of the game is going to be! This has been something I've had planned for...over a year now? Something like that. I had settled on 'Tropical Island' very early on, clear back in like Build 3. In part, that was because chance had led me to be aware of the Tr...

Old Reward Archive - Updated

$3+ Patrons, you have your own post, with the release of Galactic Nomad - Duplication!

Whew! The release of another short (rather late I'm afraid T-T) means that one of the previous exclusive stories moves into the Old Reward Archive for All Patrons to access. This time, it was a very shortish sort of short, that I made...

Short Story - Galactic Nomad: Duplication

Whew! Got it done! Took a few hours longer than expected, as I hit a bit of an unexpected mental block on the sex scene. But I worked it out. Sorry again for this being so late! The second short of a month often is, of course, since it's the low-reward on the totem pole priority wise. But it being a full week into the month is far longer than usual, caused mostly by Haven Port's overun into this month :-(. Anyway! Enjoy! As usual, story is attached as a PDF.

P.S. Sorry for doing two pos...

Progress Report - Various

Alright! Time for the first progress report for June. First, a quick reminder, the three polls are already up for the month. Since they are the three posts immediately previous to this one, I'm going to assume you can all find them without me needing to directly provide links. Second...Galactic Nomad from May, yikes! That one is almost done, thankfully. I should finish up the writing on it today, give it a quick editing pass and post it sometime tomorrow. I apologize for it being even later t...

Comic Poll - June

Alright, folks...I'm not overly enthused about this. To be honest, I've been kinda disappointed with how the comics have been received. As in, I've...gotten no feedback on them. At all. Not so much as a single comment either positive or negative. 

As such, this time I'm adding a new option to the comic poll, that would represent the exploration of something new. An experimental idea. However, it's still up to you all if we try it or not! You'll also notice that I've removed Steamwo...

Chastity Quest - Focus Poll

Yep! We're back! I know last time Chastity Quest was updated, I couldn't give you guys a poll. And, in truth, we're so close to the game concluding that this is the likely the last poll on the subject. That, however, doesn't mean it's not a major one! There are two ways I can handle the final two updates planned for the game. You see, we're close enough to the end of the game to talk about...actual endings for the game! It's always been intended that there be 3 endings. A Neutral/Default Endi...

Short Story Poll - June

Alright! Given the overrun from Haven's Port into this month, I didn't really worry about the polls. Mostly because, two of the three won't really matter if they don't get finished for a bit. That said, it's definitely time to get them up and the voting started! 

Now, with this poll you'll note that I've taken Galactic Nomad off for this month. That's not because I don't want to work on it, but because I've only just started the writing for last month's. Yikes! As such, I don't hav...

Haven's Port - Build 9 - Walkthrough/Cheats

Whew! Getting this out same-day, if only just barely. Like with the most recent Chastity Quest guide, you'll discover that the Table of Contents has been greatly expanded to aid navigation through the guide. In truth, I think I may need to overhaul its overall structure, too, but I'm less than sure what I want to do there. So, for now, hopefully the ToC improvements with suffice to keep it from being confusing/hard to navigate. Also as usual, if you're only interested in new content, you shou...

Haven's Port: Build 8 - Public Release

Alright! With the release of Build 9 for my $5+ Patrons early this morning, it's also time to release the previous Build to the public! I didn't do so immediately, only because I am now releasing a compressed version option and needed to get said compressed version uploaded and such everywhere. The compressed version uses WEBP images, which are fairly lossless, and will be avaialble in both download A...

Haven's Port Build 9

*Update!* All links have been updated to Build 9.1. There was a major bug with the original Build 9 release, causing Date content to be inaccessible. If you have an existing bugged save, see this post on how to fix it.

Whew! It's here! First off, let me apologize again for it being a day and a half late. A good portion of it was my fault, for ov...

Final Quick Update for This Build - Hopefully

Okay, entirely good news this time, promise! I did indeed get the new laptop power supply/adapter, and was able to get through the remaining Dates, plus 2/3 of the chats. I even have 11/17 scenes and those chats edited. I'm going to try and knock out the remaining chats before I crash. Which will just leaving about 50% of the editing and all of the testing to do later today. At latest, the release should be out early morning of the second. Hopefully, it will actually be out sometime late toni...

Critical Update - F$^&ery has happened

Shit.

Shit shit shit shit...

Sigh.

OKAY, PROOF THAT NOVUS'S LUCK IS TERRIBLE SOMETIMES INCOMING.

I was cruising away, with 5/7 of the Dates finished for Haven's Port. I was easily going to manage to finish the dates before I crashed, so my revised one day delay time table was more than enough time. THEN I stepped away from Laptop for a couple of minutes, only to come back to it dead as a doorknob.

Okay, don't panic yet! Trust me, I panicked enough for all of us.<...

Quick Update 2

As I said I would, this is a follow up on my previous post. Unfortunately, I have to report that I'm almost certainly going to need an extra day :-(. I was able to complete the coding for the dates yesterday, as well as the writing for one of them and some other things that needed doing. However, on starting to tackle the more complex dates writing today, I realize that each one of them was taking about an hour. I'm fairly confident that I'll get all 7 of the the dates done tonight (I've alre...

Quick Update

I mmmmaaaaayyy have slightly underestimated the amount of coding and writing I needed to do for the Haven's Port scenes this time. Possibly. 

I've actually got 11/18 scenes already coded and written, but the remaining 7 are the date content, which are the more complicated ones by far. So far, I'm still on target timing-wise, but there's a non-zero chance that the release may be delayed a single day. Unless something goes badly wrong, it shouldn't be more than a single-day delay at ...

Starworld (Part 2)

Royalty Tier Patrons, you've got your own post with the release of Starworld Part 3!

And, in a nice bit of synergy, that means that I'm releasing Starworld Part 2 for the Upper Class Residents! Starworld 2 was...an outlier, in that it was essentially a double-length issue! Though that was mostly in the writing, rather than there being very ma...

Starworld Part 3

Salutations you amazing few Royalty Tier folks! Starworld Part 3 is finished and ready for reading, primarily focused on our protagonist deciding to join the good Captain in her sexy streaming side-job!

As usual, I've included both a Zip file and a PDF version. I personally think the Zip file is better, due to both the extra quality and the inclusion of the original no-text renders. But the PDF is included as an easy play to read, particularly for mobile users.

I hope you enjoy! 2021-05-28 06:49:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Progress Report - Various

Alright! Sorry I've not been as good about progress reports this month. This will likely be the last one for the month as well, since I'm about to enter the crunch period right before release...

Haven's Port:

So, opening statement...there are going to only be 18 scenes instead of twenty in the update. However!  Follow up statement...there won't be any less content. What happened wasn't a delay, but a reshuffling of where renders went. Build 9 is intr...
