July - Short Story Poll

Okay! Short story poll for the month of July! Remember, as of last month, I swapped to only doing one short per month due to being a bit overwhelmed with how time intensive Left Hand Magic compared to Haven's Port. As such, New Story ideas are subject to ending up in the poll. Make sure you give such ideas a read to see if they interest you ;-). Likewise, remember that the contents of the Dungeon Town option changes frequently! So take a read there, too, even if you're familiar with it's gene...

Sitrep for July

Alright, everyone, I don't want anyone to be surprised about this later, so I'm going to explain a few things. First, before anyone freaks out, there will be a Left Hand Magic build this month. It's just that I can't exactly make promises about how big it will be. Likewise, all other rewards will still happen, but there may be some delays here and there.

The reason for the uncertainty is because all the health/dental stuff I've been dealing with since February of this y...

Left Hand Magic (Build 17) - Public Release

Whew! Bit late getting this up, as the release of Build 18 for $5+ Patrons overran until late on the 2nd. Add in the android port now being a bit more complicated (I had to reduce the resolution for the android port, as it started exceeding maximum allowed size for Renpy Android) and I've only just gotten this ready!

That said, Build 17 was a major milestone build, in that it completely ...

Left Hand Magic - Build 18 Guide

Nothing overly complicated here! Just the updated guide for Left Hand Magic, Build 18. Honestly, since the Routes lock-in on Week 6, it's pretty straightforward. But I suppose it still serves as a good reference for where the new scenes are in the structure, as they are marked in the guide as new.

Much to my annoyance, I can't actually type what to search since the most recent round of changes to Patreon turn asterisks around words into an italics word no matter what you do -_...

Left Hand Magic - Build 18

Edit: Android version is up! Check the release notes for a bit of information regarding it, I've been working to correct some minor issues with the Android version

Whew! For a little bit there I thought I might make a liar out of myself by not getting this out by midnight tonight. Apparently, I'm still underestimating how badly my new anxiety meds are slowing me down by making me super foggy. Hopefully it gets better soon or I'm going to have to throw them back...

Progress Report/Delay Notice

Ugh, not a lovely title huh? Don't worry, this is one of my delays. Meaning a couple of days at worst, not like a week or something. Obviously, since everything else is already out this month, the notice is about the Left Hand Magic release. I'm 100% sure it's not going to be done by midnight on the 30th. I'm about...50% sure? Yeah, I'd say it's 50/50 if it will be released on the 1st or the 2nd.

As for what happened? I'm afraid this is follow on effect from one of the appointm...

Cara Loft - Seal of Kukaco 3 - Upper Class Release

Alright! I was pretty wiped out last night when I released The Virtual Trap (Part 8) For Royalty Tier Patrons. Hence not also putting this up immediately. With the release of the latest Royalty exclusive, it is time for one of the previous two exclusives to be provided to Upper Class patrons. In this case, obviously, it was Part 3 of Cara Loft -Seal of Kukaco, which was releas...

Short Story - Dungeon Town: Challenge Room

Alright! Touch later than I wanted to get this out. But that was less about anything too bad happening than it was simply my sleep schedule getting turned upside down and shaken a few times for whatever was in it's pockets. The appointments I had the last too days didn't go great exactly. There wasn't really a way for them to go great. But they didn't go too badly at least. Though I now have a couple of surgeries scheduled in July that might affect how much get's done next month...

Progress Report

Alright! Time for a progress report! Things are mostly going pretty well, thankfully, so let's just dive right in.

Left Hand Magic

Arianna's weekday content for week 6 is entirely done now, as far as rendering goes, at least. As you can see from the teaser images, I've moved onto Talia and have already finished her Day 1. Day 2 should have been done later today, but the first animation ended up having some glitchy movement I wasn't happy with, so it's cur...

Poll Results + Progress Report

Alright! Polls have been done for a couple of days, but I hadn't taken the time to run the weighed calculations on the Story Poll until just now, hence only now doing the poll results. I'll mostly just mix the progress reports in with the results, save for Left Hand Magic which will get it's own blurb at the end. Let's dive in!

Left Hand Magic - Focus Poll

This one surprised me a little, I admit. Talia's Route took a clean victory with 50% of the vote. With Revin...

Progress Report

Alright! So...I almost didn't do a progress report here. Since I'm no longer doing wallpapers or a second short story in the month, the only thing to report on until the polls end on the 10th is Left Hand Magic. Still, I should keep everyone updated. Particularly since this does go to show the difference trimming those extras out has already made.

Specifically, I'm already fully done with Arianna's Week 6, Day 3 content. Well...sort of. I'm actually re-running the second animat...

Left Hand Magic - June Focus Poll

Now for the main event! The Focus Poll for June is pretty straightforward. While the poll is running, I'll be working on the rest of Arianna's content for Week 6 (the weekdays at least). After finishing that, however, I will start moving down the list of girls by order of popularity. As shown by this poll. I'm fairly confident I'll get at least one girl done aside from Arianna, but I'm specifically not putting the threesome routes up as options just yet. Those routes take the most ti...

June - Short Story Poll

Alright, ladies, gentlemen, and others. There are some mild changes to this poll that I'll be playing with over the next few months. Specifically, since there is now only one short story per month, I will be including a 'new story' option in each poll. This will be various ideas I've had rolling around in my head and which might have become a one-shot (or more) when I was doing secondary stories every month. There will be a short description of the idea, including themes/kinks it is intended ...

Left Hand Magic - Build 17 Guide/Cheats

Whew! Normally, I manage to get this out on the 1st! But having to spend an entire day reworking things for the Android Build (due to having hit the upper limits on allowed sizes for Renpy Android) threw that for a loop! Still, I got there in the end! To be honest, the Guide is mostly unneeded for the new stuff, unless you haven't figured out the unlock requirements for the alternate scenes in the Weekend 5 events. Those are obviously included in the Guide, though they are pretty simple and p...

Left Hand Magic - Build 16 (Public Release)

Alright! With the release of Build 17 for $5+ Patrons yesterday, it's also time for the previous build to go public!

Build 16 extended the Arianna, Trix, and the Revina/Trix threesome routes through their Event 5 content. Trix's, in particular, was one I'd been looking forward to for a long while. So hopefully you enjoy it! The build added 6 days worth of content, including 9 new animations....

Left Hand Magic (Build 17)

-Edit 2- Holy mother of cocaine and cookies, that was much worse than I expected. It took something like 8-9 hours of work/coding/tests to get the Android Version sorted out. I had to do some reprogramming, rebuilding, and a metric ton of conversions. In theory however (I haven't actually tested it on an android device) the android version is now working. Ultimately I solved the issue by downgrading the game from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 ...
