Whew! Okay, probably the last progress report until the update. Just as a quick reminder, as of the previous progress report, I moved The Starship Promise short story into next month. If you didn't catch that before, you can do read about the whys and whatfores of it there. The TLDR version though is simply that the SSD failure cost me too much time earlier in the month and something h...

With the release of Cara Loft: Seal of Kukcao (Part 3) for the Royalty Tier patrons, it's also time for the previous entry of the same series to be released for Upper Class patrons! A nice parallel there, if only by happenstance.
In this entry, Cara's best friend Sam comes to visit while Cara is trying to find the solution to the Seal of Kukaco that has been magically stamped onto her body, causing h...

Left Hand Magic
I hit a bit of a slowdown on this, but it's nothing serious. I've got the first day of Arianna's Event 5 done and I've started on Day 2. I expect to finish Day 2 tonight/tomorrow morning. After that, I'll switch over to getting Renpy up and running again before anything else. Depending on how that goes, I may redo a couple of old animations ...

Alright, everyone, sorry for the silence up until now. Frankly, I've been focusing on trying to catch everything up since the loss of the SSD I spoke about in my last post. Thankfully, the SSD was all that was wrong with the laptop, and I had it back up in running within two days of the SSD dying. So far, the only things I've discovered were lost were the first five renders of Cara Loft 3. Even the code repository that I thought might have been lost ended up being backed up on anothe...

So...apparently the universe likes kicking me while I'm down. You know that caveat I always put in my progress reports about 'unless something unfortunate happens.' Yeaaahhh...my laptop's SSD died. First time I've ever had an SSD die. But it went kaput. Took most of a day to track down what was wrong, finally had to take the laptop apart and put the dead SSD in an external M.2 enclosure (thank God I had one on hand). Doing that let me discover that the SSD was what went ...

Alright, everyone, time for a progress report! Not that there's all that much to say, to be honest. Really, since I'm only doing the Poll Short Story this month (see the Story Poll if you don't know why) the only things to cover are the Wallpapers and Left Hand Magic. Anything else will have to wait until the polls finish at midnight on the 10th!
The short bit first. As always, the wallpaper...
2024-04-09 06:18:25 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, sorry folks. This poll got several different types of fucked sideways. None of them fun. I deleted the original, so make sure you vote again if you already had!

Alright folks! First thing first. Due to the carry over of issues (medical/dental) I'm still dealing with from last month, I will only be doing the Poll Story this month. I'm sorry about that. But I need to steal time from somewhere, and my existin...
2024-04-05 00:42:44 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! The big poll of the month! Before I say anything else, Trix's Event isn't included below because I will be working on it first, while the Poll is still ongoing. As such, it simply doesn't need to be in the poll.
That said, we are done with the weekday content for Week 5 entirely now. Which means that knocking out the Event 5 content for each route is the next step. Talia already has hers, and Trix (as mentioned) will be included for certain. This poll...

With the release of Left Hand Magic Build 15 for $5+ Patrons, it's also time for Build 14 to get its public release! Despite February having been it's usual short month, I managed a 100% a full-size Left Hand Magic Build. Nine new scenes, containing 12 new animations in total. Almost identical in size to January, honestly, just without the extras for the cheat system. The main focus of the Build is...
2024-04-02 02:19:46 +0000 UTC View Post*Updateed! The Route Guide has now been added as a PDF attachment. You may want to peek at the Weekend 5 section for Talia's Route. There actually is an unlockable scene some of you may not have found, since it requires a bit of playing as a Switch instead of a submissive earlier in the game. Or, you know, using the cheat system to give yourself enough dom points!
Alright...the Route Guide isn't ready yet. Given my time commitments for later today, it's likely it will b...

Surprise! I burnt a bit of midnight oil to get this finished before I crashed, specifically because I've got family stuff that's going to get in the way of trying to work on anything later today. That said, and despite all the frustrating bullshit I had to deal with this month, I'm still reasonable pleased with the results I'm delivering. The build is smaller than I'd hoped, true. But it's not small, really.
There are Nine new animations in total, complete the Weekday,...

Alright! A more proper progress report this time. Likely the last one before the release. Obviously, everything else is already out for the month, so it's just Left Hand Magic to cover. As this point rendering and post-processing is effectively done. Technically, I'm rerunning one of the animations right now because I noticed something minor and, well, I could. Usually my render box isn't doing anything for the last few days of a month. And the animation in question is the l...

Whew! Okay, I finally managed to get this squared away. The writing might be a little rougher than usual, given that I've been struggling a bit to write the last few days. But I honestly thing the quality came out pretty solid, all things considered! Particularly given that I sometimes have a bit of trouble writing pet play as well. Not honestly entirely sure why on that one. It's not like I don't understand the kink or it's appeal (obviously, given it featuring in multiple games), I just hav...
2024-03-24 21:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostOkay folks. I just had a fucking awful day yesterday. The issue I had pop up early this month was dental related, and they'd thought it was going to be like a $5000 fix. That was...bad, given that I currently only make like $20,000 a year because of attempting to make the games thing and other creative endeavors actually pay. Unfortunately, when I went to the Oral Surgeon yesterday, he took one look and said, "Nope, you've got much bigger problems." Currently, I don't even know how big. But h...

Whew! This is a few hours later than I intended. Yesterday was...not fun. And I lost a fair bit of time to appointments, phone calls, and other crap. Still, the story is here now! As I mentioned in the Progress Report, this one is pretty much a pure one-shot. It started as a bit of a fun thought to explore the idea of a magical version of a city-planet (think Coruscant from Star Wars, or similar). Then, of course, I needed to add the kinky bits. Which, in this case, means a magical suit of so...

Alright everyone. First, an apology. I'd intended to do this post, as a sort of 'what this month will look like,' a few days ago. Unfortunately, life almost literally kicked me in the teeth unexpectedly, and I've been struggling not to drown a bit under the unexpected wave of problems and a bit of an unexpected financial crisis. I won't go into that, no point depressing myself all over again, or depressing any of you by proxy. Suffice it to say that I've lost some time/progress to having to d...

Alright, everyone! The last build just about got us through the weekdays of Week 5. I will, of course, be adding the remaining three Arianna/Talia scenes to the game in this months build. Those are what I will focus on, until this poll finished on the 10th! Beyond those three scenes, however, will be the start of the Weekend/Event content for Week 5. Just as a quick reference, here's what the various characters will be up to in their routes for the weekend.

Woohoo, this is it folks! The final PUBLIC release of Haven's Port. You know, baring any major bugs I have to fix. I won't be too surprised if there are some of those, as the voluntarily chastity belt equip feature was something I couldn't test extensively. And no one has really reported back to me about how well it did or didn't work :-(. It necessitated an entire extra copy of the Haven's Port Chastity Locations to make it work at all, and I just didn't have time to exhaus...

2024-03-02 03:29:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, with the release of Left Hand Magic - Build 14, there's a new Route Guide available for $10+ Patrons. There isn't much to say about the Route Guide. It's useful if you get stuck on not meeting requirements, but by Week 5 you're pretty much locked into a single Route, so it's more a good way to peek and see what sort of new content there is, I guess?
The new Cheat sy...
Edit: There's a patch file to fix the issues George found, plus a missing audio file, attached to the post now. Simply extract the contents into the Left Hand Magic folder and let it overwrite and it should fix the issues if you have an original Build 14 release. Given the missing audio file likely broke a dozen scenes, I'm going to be reuploading a 14.1 build in the next few hours. If you end up with a 14.1 build, there is no need to apply the patch.
I made it! Barely,...
