With the release of The Transformation Estate (Part 7) for $5+ patrons, it's also time to update the Old Rewards Archive with a previous Story Reward. This time, that Story Reward was/is Part 3 of Mass Effect: The Final Error. You can now find it as a combined file in The Old Rewards Archive! I hope you enjoy!
2020-08-14 12:47:57 +0000 UTC View PostOkay! As I mentioned in a previous post, I had something of a very rare case of writer's block while working on this. Otherwise it would have been out days ago. Even as it is, it's technically been done for a couple of days, but still needed an editing pass. And, since my PC has been busing rendering scenes for Haven's Port, that had been squeezed in when I could manage it.
Anyway, as an aid to getting around the writer's block issue, I did something a bit different with this part of ...
First...let me introduce you to Captain Nyra! She's a new Major Character of Haven's Port, who will be involved with 'tiering up' to the next reputation level. Here she's seen in her 'relaxed' outfit, not in her proper Pirate's Attire...but I decided to show that as it shows off her ink better ;-). She'll also be the source of the first New Job related to the next tier, though I'm unsure how much content that job will have. Rendering is going well, but there are a certain number of base scene...

Okay! First, let me apologize for being a silent for a bit after the release of Chastity Quest Build 6. In an effort to cure some of the building issues with both rendering for Heaven's Port and the stability of the Chastity Quest Skyrim build, I decided to do a reinstall of Windows 10. There were some fairly serious signs that my windows install had become unstable, so I'm hoping that by having done so, some of the issues I was having with development of both games may be ameliorated. The re...
2020-08-07 23:55:10 +0000 UTC View PostAs usual, the Walkthrough for new Builds is the last thing I do, by necessity :-p. I actually originally meant to mention in the release post that the walkthrough update would be out today, but apparently forgot to add that amongst all the other bits and bobs. At any rate, as usual, you'll find an updated copy of the Chastity Quest Walkthrough attached as a PDF to this post. If you want to navigate quickly to the new scenes, to see where they are, simply search for *New* in the document...

Alright! So, as I'm writing this, the game is uploading. Actually, it's been uploading for a bit. I finished it right around midnight...it's just that the uploading process, particularly for the Web version, is somewhat long. Either way, I pretty much hit the nail on the head for how long the extra delays were going to be... Oh! And you might have noticed that there's no note about Save Compatibility this time. That's because there weren't actually any new variables needed this time, so there...

Ugh. This week has been a series of 'are you fucking kidding me' moments, I swear. Case in point, this was originally going to be posted several hours ago, only to discover that the whole Patreon site was down -_-.
Anyway, as evidenced by the fact that this isn't a release post...the build isn't quite done yet. The good news is that, after some incredibly aggravating struggles with Skyrim, I have all the assets sorted out for the additional 8 scenes. Had thing...
Alright, folks! Good news/bad news time. First off, the good news. That good news being that I've got all the assets captured and edited for the first 8 scenes of the new build. And, if all goes well, I expect to have the majority of them actually implemented by the time I crash tomorrow morning. So, yay for that, and also yay for that fact that this is a 31 day month so I still have time to hit my goals.
Less 'yay' is the reason you're only now getting the first progress report this m...
Reminder: The Haven's Port Focus Poll for next month is still ongoing!
Annnndddd, speaking of polls, it's honestly a bit past time to get the August Story Poll up. As it is, if The Elven Maid wins, it'll be a bit hard to squeeze the follow-up poll for that story in. Which is why, as it happens, I'm only going to run this poll for 5 days. Hone...
2020-07-25 21:53:26 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of This Month's Story Reward for the $5+ folks, it's obviously also time to move a story from $5+ exclusive, into the Old Rewards Archive. This time, the addition was Part 6 of Transformation Estate! Go check it out if you haven't had a chance to read it yet! As always, it's in a combined file with all parts of that story series.

2020-07-24 16:50:04 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Time to start getting the polls for next month's content up. As I mentioned with the first poll of this kind (for Haven's Port at least) last month, the questions aren't always going to be the same. Whereas last month the focus poll asked about whether more General Content or the first Reputation Advancement was wanted...in August I intend to put in the first Reputation Advancement, regardless. The content has simply reached the right point that not doing so would make things a bit a...
2020-07-23 14:15:05 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, so...a few posts ago, I think? Something like that anyway. I mentioned that I'm stuck on a daywalker schedule for a bit. Normally, it's not something I would bother to mention. However, it's going to have something of an impact on Chastity Quest this month, so I felt a brief explanation is warranted. In short: I have family visiting from out of town all week this week. Thankfully, I'm not the primary one hosting them, so I don't have to completely stop working on stuff. Less awesome....

Alright! I had intended to do this last night, but had a power outage for several hours. Anyway, with Build 2 of Haven's Port released for $3+ Patrons, it's now time for the game to officially go public for the first time! I'll also note that I did take those extra power-outage hours to add a small tutorial for Build 1. Though it hasn't been added to Build 2 yet.

Alright, along with Build 2, we have the first update to Walkthrough for Haven's Port that...immediately made me realize I forgot to put a tutorial into the game again. Fuck.

Well, I almost made it? To be honest, I should have made it well before midnight, but I ran into two issues. First, was that there were a LOT more bugs than expected. That wasn't on account of the code of this build being particularly sloppy, but rather that I kept finding stuff that had slipped through in Build 1. Like several places that time wasn't passing properly, as once example. The second that was that, right at the last minute, just before I was set to up...
2020-07-19 05:48:36 +0000 UTC View PostI've been forced temporarily onto a daywalker schedule, for reasons I'll go into when I start on Chastity Quest for the month. For the moment, it means I need to crash like, right now. Haven's Port Build 2 is almost done. All renders are finished and about 90% of the writing/coding is done. Normally, I'd have several more hours to power through the rest, including testing and a grammar edit, before releasing it then crashing for the night(day?). But, given my temporary schedule shift, that's ...

Soooo....I've been bashing my head against the stupidity that is Daz3d for the last four days. Since the last time I posted a progress report (4 days ago), I realized that a lot of my render-time issues seem to have stemmed from a recent update to Daz3d. Something which I only discovered after, suspicious of the trouble I was having, I attempted to render a scene from la...
Alright, so...I mentioned in the story update yesterday that I would update everyone on Haven's Port today. Unfortunately, the news is frustrating, to say the least. I mentioned earlier this month that I had to create a Magic Shop environment more or less from scratch. That took a solid day of work, but I was fairly satisfied with it. Sure, it's not the most awesome thing ever, but for what I had to work with it was/is pretty solid.

2020-07-09 12:23:59 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! As the title says, I know this is super late, being over a week into July. On the other hand, as promised, it's also roughly 50% larger than usual. It's not QUITE there, coming in at just a hair under 7,000 words, but that was only due to it being an essentially perfect cut off point for this part. It also has, I think, proven the concept of my shifting when I work on the stories to be a good idea. I was able to write 7000 words in the last 5 days without at all impacting work ...

Alright, technically I released Build 5 for testing yesterday, though I'm still fighting with a couple of the upload sites to get all the versions up. Either way, that means it's time for Build 4 to leave testing and release to the public. Build 4 focused on adding Quests to the New Landing Mage's Guild, as well as adding the Pony Express Courier Service. In total, it added 17 new sex scenes, including two that are by far the longest/most involved scenes in the game now (even counting Build 5...

Alright, this should be the last progress report before release. The Good news is that, aside from a few incidental lines of text I need to add, the build is done, programming and art wise. The second Good news is that this, scene count wise, may actually be the single largest update since Build 1. Unless I've miscounted, I think there's about 20 scenes. Almost half of those are short-form ones for the mini-game, so overall content-length wise I'm less sure how it stacks up to last month's, b...
