Unfortunately, life and job responsibilities have prevented me from making much progress over the past weeks. However, I am finally getting back on track with updating Callie's Life.
Below are some of the latest images from Callie being caught sneaking in well after curfew, which leads to her being grounded!
I've been getting a few bug reports over the past week or so about some issues in Callie's Life B08a. Some of them I'm having trouble confirming, others I've fixed already.
Has anybody found any bugs, particularly showstoppers in the most recent release of the game (B08a)? If so, please let me know.
In particular, someone reported that when visiting AutoSpank, the final image in the sequence (of Callie's tearstained face - see below) wasn't clearing and the scre...
2023-05-08 15:57:58 +0000 UTC View PostFor some time now I've been part of a Patreon creators group called Erotic Creators. We share ideas, support one another and discuss our artistic endeavors with one another as well as have workshops and trade tips on furthering our online presence, both on Patreon and in general.

2023-04-30 19:19:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhether it leads to a grounding or not (although it's looking as if it will in most cases) Callie is going to be spanked when she gets caught sneaking in after curfew.
What should she be spanked with?
2023-03-20 18:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostObviously when she's caught sneaking in, Callie will, at the very least, be spanked.
Whether that spanking ends the issue, leads to a grounding, or some other result remains to be seen, but when she is spanked, how will it be done?
Callie will be naked and the hairbrush will be used. The top two responses will make it into the game and will appear on a random basis. (Possibly more if I get some good results)
What position would you like for her mom to spank her i...
2023-03-16 14:04:43 +0000 UTC View PostMost of Callie's clandestine activities (mostly involving the Dare Club) take place at night and have her coming back after curfew (Late At Night). If she goes in the front door, her dad catches and spanks her if she doesn't have permission to be out late (future feature)
This means Callie has to sneak in and out at night. Build 09 onward will include the possibility of being caught when climbing back in her bedroom window, and of course there are consequences.
What sh...
2023-03-15 17:13:46 +0000 UTC View PostNo other game breaking showstoppers have been reported, so I am proceeding with development for Build 09 which will be solely new content including at least two new dares, AutoSpank appointments, some school trouble, and possibly another CDC visit but I haven't decided on that last one yet.
If anybody has any ideas about a possible CDC visit scenario, please send me a private message and let me know (nothing outlandish please)
I'm also going to start dropping some foreshado...
2023-03-08 15:00:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis update fixes the showstopper bug where the scene freezes when Callie brings home the failed History Test to be signed. (If she studied and passed the test, this bug is not an issue)
This was caused by an incorrectly set flag and missing images. Both have been corrected.
At long last, I've completed Build 08 for Callie's Life and deemed it ready for an official release.
As far as I know all the game breaking bugs have been squashed. If there are any more, please report them as always.
What's Inside:
* A new Dare for Callie
* Rewritten game mechanics for daily life, classes at school and normal dare club meetings.
* Expanded AutoSpank services to include online scheduling and making regular appointments.
*Callie's Curf...
2023-02-20 20:35:03 +0000 UTC View PostI think I've gotten most, if not all of the game breakers fixed, as well as a lot of other little ones. The build has been uploaded. Use the same link as the posts below.
I'm working on finishing up the new content and some final polishing, and I hope to release an official build by the end of the week or this weekend.
2023-02-15 17:22:28 +0000 UTC View PostI had to do a quick update to the TestVersion v4 that I uploaded earlier as one of the fixes wasn't actually fixed. It should be good now.
The Detention room was not allowing the player to leave.
I suggest that anybody playing this test version start the game over as a new starting variable has been added that effects a couple of things in the early game.
The links are the same as in the previous post, so please use those.
2023-01-29 06:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostI've killed a few more deadly bugs and while I'm still plugging in some of the new content this version should at least be playable beyond the first day or two.
Heads Up : some of the new content is still incomplete, but if you see it not functioning, still make a note of it in any reports so I can make sure nothing gets missed.
I believe the end of these infernal test versions is much closer now and a release is imminent. The core routines should be stabilized now and all t...
2023-01-26 18:50:47 +0000 UTC View PostIt's taken me forever, but I believe I have finally tracked down the cause of the game breaking issues at school! There was a duplicated set of variables that was being set instead of the one I intended. The one that determines which class is on for the day and how many classes were attended. That is what was trapping the player in school. That's the good news.
The bad news is that now I have to go thru a bunch of code to make sure to remove all instances of that other...
2023-01-23 17:36:24 +0000 UTC View PostI've been pounding away on the code fixes for Callie's Life, but have run into a snag.
Changes that I make to the code sometimes are not taking effect. In particular I'm referring to anything to do in the History classroom. For some reason it is still executing code that I removed from that map weeks ago.
Obviously, this is a game breaking bug as it traps Callie in the school and halts all progress forward, especially given that this is also where Kendra inv...
2023-01-05 16:43:28 +0000 UTC View PostI've fixed the reported bugs, that were unfortunately game breakers, and have uploaded the fixed code.
You can use the previous links to download the updated versions.
Again - This is not a release, but a testing version that has debug messaging and testing option turned on. Do not use previously saved games and do not transfer these saved games to your regular copies or overwrite it with this version. Keep it separate.
2022-12-19 18:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostI'm already working on the bugs that have been reported so far.
Some of you are aware of the "cheat room" that can be accessed down in the basement of Callie's House. (thru the furnace) in the Debug enabled version there is an additional room that is accessible, that is my development laboratory where I test pieces of code.
Currently there's a blue portal on the wall.
DO NOT USE IT OR GO THRU IT! You won't be able to leave. I ...
2022-12-09 18:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostI want to start by saying that this is NOT a release and I make no guarantees about the quality. The past couple of months have been very chaotic when I've tried to work on the game. I would make some progress, then have to stop, then come back, then stop and there was a lot of jumping about. Once I even had to replace big pieces of code because I accidentally opened up the bugfix release version and did a few hours of development in that copy.
I've rewritten some key ...
2022-12-09 00:46:45 +0000 UTC View PostThere will be a slight delay in my posting the test version of the game. Last night I found a bug that prevented the school schedule from working. Obviously it needs to be fixed and I have to wait until I finish with my "real job" today before I can pay any real attention to it.
So I'll be posting sometime tomorrow instead. Sorry for the delay, but I want to get this right.
Tomorrow I'm going to be posting a Beta Test version.
I'll tell you now that it is going to be buggy and some pieces may be missing.
The point of this is twofold :
1. I don't have the time to do more than very basic play testing, and I want to find as many of the bugs as possible as quickly as possible.
2. To give you guys SOMETHING to play.
This past week was not as productive as I would have liked and so now I'm crunching hard to get it done but I do...
2022-12-06 18:08:54 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Black Friday, everyone! I hope all those in the US had a Happy Thanksgiving!
The last couple of weeks have been very busy for me with things outside of game development, but I have still managed to get some things done, just not at the rate I was hoping to.
Most of the images that were needed for this release have been rendered and I'm getting the code updated and barring any major issues, hope to have the release ready to go by the end of the month, or a fe...

Work is progressing. This week I make quite a bit of progress on one of the new Dares. I won't go into detail, but let's just say it involves Callie being in the school when she isn't supposed to be, and possibly getting caught by the school's security guard.
The consequences are pretty apparent. :D
2022-10-16 17:19:22 +0000 UTC View Post
Progress the past week or so has been slower than I would have liked, but I'm still moving forward. More images have been rendered, and I've been working on some code for new dares from the Dare Club, as well as completing the sequence for Callie's Chore Day punishment.
I'm also including a small Easter Egg in this next release. I just have to work out the details.

Some images that will appear in the next build. The first two are from the long delayed "yard work" punishment sequence, the next two from the upcoming Sleepover At Kendra's sequence, and finally a transition image while Callie is working at the Burger Shack.
Enjoy! And as always, comments are welcome!
2022-09-20 16:03:23 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I got some of the coding done and have been building and rendering images for some of the new sequences, including one of the new dares and for the sleepover at Kendra's that was mentioned in one of the previous Game Input polls.
I took all of the suggestions into account, and decided on multiple activities that get the girls into trouble. Things will be able to take different directions, based on Callie's personality and other choices. This is going to be a rather...
2022-08-31 16:25:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe last week or so has been slow with regard to progress on the game because of the demands of my "real job" and life in general.
My goal for this week (and I've already made good progress yesterday and today so far, is to put in the code for regular Dare Club meetings and the daily school schedule.
I'm also going to try to figure out why subsequent work days at the Burger Shack are not working properly. I'm reasonably sure it's a flag that is not being reset properl...

I've designed a new logo for the Games part of the Sorebottom brand and I wanted to share it.
Beginning with Callie's Life B08 - it will appear when you launch the game.
Comments are welcome on the design.
There seems to be a preponderance of opinion so far that the penalty (at least the first time) of not having her PE kit as being having to do cornertime in the gym during her PE class.
So I put this to you. How should she have to do her cornertime?
2022-07-29 21:41:29 +0000 UTC View PostAs I've mentioned previously, one of the things I'm working on for the next update is a regular school schedule for Callie, which of course means more opportunities for her to get into trouble.
One of the classes that I'm working on is PE. Which of course, as you're all aware from the Dare Club lead in, involves changing into a PE Kit/Uniform (I'll be using the terms interchangeably)
Not changing/having her PE Kit clean and ready will, of course, ...
2022-07-28 17:12:16 +0000 UTC View PostQuestion 2 - What should happen there? (please select a *maximum* of 3)
To clarify - fun spankings will be light and playful with bottoms being pink to light red
punishment spankings will be hard with tears and very red bottoms (possibly marked)
More poll questions may follow depending on responses
