Old Reward Archive Updated

$3+ Patrons, you have your own post with the release of Mass Effect: Final Error (Part 6). 

That said, this also means that one of the old exclusive stories moves into the archive. Specifically, Galactic Nomad (Part 4): The Erotic Dream has been added to the Old R...

Short Story Reward - Mass Effect: Final Error (Part 6)

Whew! The editing pass took a lot longer than I'd hoped. But, considering that I was editing the entire 45,000 plus words this story has now grown to, I suppose it was no surprise. In fact, I was probably doing well to manage that in 2 days. Still, it's done! And the total size of the new content came in right about there I wanted it to be. I was aiming for around 10k, and the final count was 9,750 words. Probably plus a little since I made a few minor tweaks and improvements throughout the r...

Progress Report - Various

Gonna keep this a bit shorter this time, hopefully.

Haven's Port: Is going reasonably well. I'm up to 10 scenes with completed renders, and I think the majority of those scenes actually have 5+ renders instead of the usual 3-4. Not sure on the exact number that are that way, it just seems that a lot of them have gone that way. Anyway, I'm basically working at a rate of 1 scene a day, and I should be able to keep that up until at least the 29th. So at least 6 more scenes...

Progress Report - Various

Ohhhhhh shitttt! I just realized I haven't updated you guys in a full week! I'm so sorry about that! I've been trying to be good about doing progress reports every few days, but I kinda suck at it. I'm actually considering putting daily updates on twitter, just to keep the progress reports simpler, but I haven't decided yet. I actually set one a twitter account of that reason some time ago and just...haven't used it. We'll see. Currently, I'm pouring all my time into trying to get everything ...

Progress Report(Various) + Poll Results!

Progress report time! Actually meant to post this yesterday, in fact, but spent most of yesterday and part of today wrestling with Daz3d. Near as I can tell, an update brought back an old issue, causing me to lose several renders and others to run long. Thankfully, I eventually realize what was going on and applied a fix I'd come up with back when this happened before. So, while I lost some time, maybe as much as a day or so, it's not too serious. But, anyway, poll results and progress report...

Progress Report - Various

Mwhaahahahaha! Finally, you see the depths of my ambition!

*cough*

Errr...

Actually, despite still kinda dealing with some burnout, I'm at least a little excited to show off some of what I'm doing this month with Haven's Port. Normally, I don't share so many images at once (in fact, you're seeing the majority of the renders done so far), but I felt that showing these off as a batch was a good idea. Do keep in mind, though, that I haven't done any real post-processing on them...

Haven's Port Focus Poll - March

Alright! Don't miss the Short Story Poll, which is up as well! As I mentioned in that poll's post, this month's circumstances meant that I could get away with holding the polls much later than normal. With the Focus Poll, the reason for that is that we are moving on to the 2nd island in the chain, which is actually the main island. As such, certain content has to be done regardless of voting, so I'...

Short Story Poll - March

Alright! So, I took a couple of days off after the release, at least from development. I'd worked like a week straight of 14 hour days and was sort of coming apart at the seams at the end there. Which is also why I hadn't run the regular polls yet. Thankfully, it worked out that this month in particular, I could hold off on the polls without causing any issues. As for this poll specificly...the reason for that is that I'm cheating. I still owe you guys a short from last month, but I'm also al...

Chastity Quest - Build 11 (Public Release)

$5+ Patrons, you have your own post with the release of Build 12! 

This build was the first with the new bi-monthly (every other month) dev cycle! This means that it's a much larger release than previously. Not only is this release a full 30 scenes, but it includes the final Thieves Guild quest, as well as several dom/sub unlocks. All of which contain the longer-form scenes, meaning multiple vids and more still images. And that was accomplished in a month with mult...

Chastity Quest Build 12 - Cheats & Walkthrough

Update! I've added the walkthrough, sorry it took so long, still kinda wiped out. On the plus side, this version includes a simple index at the top. Since all new scenes are for The College of Allund, simply use the index link to navigate to that section. I will likely expand on the index in the future as a way to make it easier to navigate the walkthrough, now that it's grown to include the better part of 250 scenes -_-. PDF  is now attached to the post!

Alright...

Chastity Quest Build 12 ($5 Patron Release)

There's a couple of important/new things to touch on before I talk about the build..so...

------------------------IMPORTANT PLEASE READ-----------------------
As most of you hopefully know, there was a serious issue with this build, caused by a non-optional update to the Visual Novel Maker Engine. It caused ALL images in the game to be broken and I had to manually fix over 200...

Quick Update 2 - Good News

Update: Due to a couple of upload failures, the release post will actually probably be sometime around 1am. Sorry! Unfortunately, it was the web upload that failed, and I'm reluctant to release without that in place.

It's done. My testing wasn't as through as it should have been since I put a rush on everything to get it out as soon as possible, but the update is done. The windows package is building even as a type this. And and soon as I get all three packages built I...

Quick Update

I hate everything and I can't feel my wrist.

And I still have about a dozen scenes to re-link the images for. I'm...just going to go and cry in a corner for a moment.

...

...

Okay. So, I horribly underestimated how long it was going to take to relink all these images. Holy fuck I crammed a lot of stuff into New Landing. As the developer, I don't think I had a concept of just how big, content-wise, I'd made the town. What really ki...

Old Rewards Archive Updated!

$3+ Patrons, you have your own post, with the release of Andrea of the Silver Key: Dates and Demonstrations.

And, of course, the release of a new short story means that a previous exclusive goes into the Old Rewards Archive, available to all patrons! In this case, that story is, appropriately, the first Andrea of the SIlver Key story! Check it out at the 2021-02-28 12:46:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Short Story - Andrea of the Silver Key 2

Okay, things are going slower than I'd hoped. But I've got this reward totally done at least. I'm not completely happy with it, and there are two reasons for that. The same reasons I said (in my last progress report) that I'd explain in this post.

First, I ran into a hole in my own writing experience that I didn't know existed. I've been writing in a fairly serious capacity for something like 15 years at this point, and stumbling across an unknown whole in my skillset ...

Progress Report

Alright, I'm stealing a few minutes of time to do this, so I'll keep it short.

First, the Andrea of the Silver Key: Dating and Demonstrations is just about done. I need to put some finishing touches on the sex scenes then edit it. It should be out sometime on the 27th, hopefully. There's a reason it's taken so long, but I'll save the explanation for the release post.

Second, Chastity Quest. Ugh. Hopefully, you've 2021-02-27 07:33:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Comic Contiunation Poll!

While I'm currently frantically working on fixing the problem with Chastity Quest, certain things can't be put off or there'd be major delays next month. As such, the various polls need run. I'm going to hold off on the Short Story poll a day or two (so I can hopefully get the current one published), and the Haven's Port poll can actually be run as late as the first week of next month.

But the f...

Ummmm...uh-oh?

Since I don't want them to get lost in the shuffle. There are release posts for the Cyberworld and Steamworld comics, for the $20 and $10 tiers respectively,

That said, I ran into a somewhat critical problem, 2021-02-23 14:53:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Steamworld Comic ($10 Patron Release)

Royalty Tier Patrons, you have your own post, with the release of the Cyberworld Comic.

Salutations Guys and Gals!

As I mentioned in my previous progress report, I've decided to release comics to $10 patrons, albeit at a 2-month delay. Much like how the Short Stories work, there will always be 2 Exclusive Comics for Royalty Tier patrons. Meanwhile, on...

Cyberworld Comic

Whew! This is definitely later in the month than I'd wanted to release this. And I still haven't gotten used to just how much work it is to do the Typesetting. Seriously, it took...probably 4-5 hours? At least. I have wwwwaaaaaayyyyy more respect for comic creators than I did before, doubly so since what I'm doing is pretty primitive compared to some/many of them. But, that aside, it's done!

As for the comic itself. I think Cyberworld represents the best image quality so far. ...

Progress Report - Various

First, let me apologize for the longish delay between progress reports. I've been struggling a bit to keep on target, due to a few random life events that threw monkey wrenches into the works, and I honestly didn't realize how big of a time gap I'd let occur. Sorry! Anyway, most of the news is good.

Chastity Quest

I'm wrapping up the final writing bits for another batch of 10 scenes as we speak (I'm taking a short break to post this). That brings the total figur...

February $20 Wallpapers!

Alright! Time to release these...even if I can't say that I'm 100% happy with them. I'm pretty happy with the SFW Wallpaper, at least. Though I'm annoyed I couldn't get the text quite the way I wanted it even after an hour and a half of fiddling with it -_-. It's a little flatter than I would have liked. On the other hand, I'm super proud of the pose of the mid-jump archer pose I got the MC into, since that's about 90% my creation and was not an easy pose to make look good. ...
