4/26 Status Update

The main thing I want to talk about in this update is what's going to be happening in May. In short, I'm taking a vacation. I've taken vacations from my day job plenty of times while running Apollo Seven Games, but I've always kept working on the games even while on a trip abroad or something. This time, I plan to not work on anything. Maybe I'll make some prototype just because I like making games, but I'm not planning to do any work on Netoria Tactics, or At the Mountains of Friendship, or ...

4/20 Status Update

Haha, funny number. Anyway. 1.3 of AtMoF came out yesterday and I have one more update planned for the game before I sunset it. This one is going to take a long time to get right as it's the meta progression systems update. Essentially as you play you will unlock points that can be used to upgrade the girls with things like new abilities, a skill tree, etc. So the more you play the better your girls will be which hopefully will make playing it over long periods of time more fun and engaging. ...

Vacation Poll

For a while now I've been finding working on stuff to be a bit of a slog. The start of it was probably coming to terms with At the Mountains of Friendship being a bit of a flop. That was very hard to do with how much I had invested in that game both emotionally and financially. But it's been over a month and I'm still finding it hard to work on things really. I still want to make games, even if I wasn't running Apollo Seven I'd make stuff for fun. But the current slate just doesn't feel enjoy...

4/12 Status Update

As you might have noticed, AtMoF 1.3 still isn't out. I've hired the voice actress but haven't received the recording yet. So 4/19 should probably be the release date. Sk8er, now named Aliana, will come out for $10 Patrons/Subscribesters, Avery for $5, and Sarah will be released for all. Sorry about this pretty significant delay.

In sales news, Netoria Tactics: Revolution gold has passed 1,000 copies and $10,000 gross. That's over double what I wanted lifetime in less than a month. Net...

I now have a SubscribeStar. Since you're already here you're probably okay with Patreon, but in case you'd prefer to follow me there instead, all Patreon posts and content will now be posted there as well. Feel free free to switch if you'd like.

I hope everyone liked my April Fool's joke. If you haven't checked it out, there is an actual game linked to in that post, it's pretty short so if you ...

What Game to Focus on Next?

My usual workflow is to have one main project and several side projects going at once. With At the Mountains of Friendship coming to a close, that main project slot is opening up.

Looking at my ongoing projects, there are three games I could pick from. This isn't really a big deal and more of a mental organization thing for me. When I sit down at my computer to make some games, what game should be the "default". I'll work on all of them but it's good to have one game that's a priority.<...

New game! It's been hard to keep this a secret for so long, but if I've learned anything from the whole Netoria Tactics versus At the Mountains of Friendship debacle it's that public feedback and testing is dumb and lame and you should like what I like, screw you. I also learned that people like Fire Emblem a lot, mostly because anime. Especially anime with swords like in Smash Bros. I mean, c...

3/29 Status Update

Today was supposed to be the At the Mountains of Friendship 1.3 update. As you may have noticed, this post isn't that. So what happened? This one is completely on me, I forgot to get the voice acting done. I was getting things all wrapped up, and realized I never even hired the voice actress. So that's going to be a two week delay at least. In my defense it's been a pretty busy month with a lot of moving parts and things to get done. Sorry about this.

3/22 Status Update

It's a new week and we now like in a post Netoria-Tactics-On-Steam world. How has this changed things here at Apollo Seven Games?

Netoria Tactics has performed pretty far above my expectations on Steam. I was making this as a sort of tip jar and expected around 500 units sold lifetime. Well that's not what happened. Instead it has performed more like an actual game release. Way more people are willing to pay $10 for some bonus content in this otherwise free game than I expected. The gam...

3/16 Status Update

Netoria Tactics: Revolution Gold is out! This is the second Apollo Seven related project I've released on Steam, and the first actually under the Apollo Seven label. So far it's doing pretty well, moving a little under 150 units in the first 24 hours. Based on how much I spent on extra art for it and Steams cut and such, it's about 1/3 of the way to breaking even. Of course, that math isn't really accurate because of Patreon funds and stuff. I'm sure if I did accounting tricks I could make th...

Netoria Tactics: Revolution Gold is Out Now

Go check it out on Steam 

If you are unable to purchase the Steam version for whatever reason, like having a terminal case of living in Germany, please send me a DM. This version was largely made as a sort of tip jar, because I got lots of requests to buy the game on Steam as a way to support me rather than use Patreon. Since you're on Patreon if you're reading this, ...

3/8 Status Update

I know I said no update this week because I'm on a cruise, but I've got wifi and I'm chilling watching the waves roll by, so why not. This will just be a short update going over some changes to the production scheduale.

1. Netoria Tactics will keep receiving content in the form of expansion updates. Now that the Steam gold version and the female Carwyn update is done, it's time to start the golden route. The golden route is about Carwyn getting hos best ending. Both girls, saving his h...

3/2 Status Update

The Netoria Tactics: Revolution Gold Steam page was approved yesterday and that meant I could finally release the female Carwyn update. Right down to the wire too, since I'm leaving on a cruise tomorrow. Hard to post stuff online in the middle of the ocean. Since everything finally got through Steam's system, I know can announce when the Steam version is going to come out.

March 15th.

That's the big day. Unless something happens like me being stranded on a deser...

2/23 Status Update

The Steam page for Netoria Tactics: Revolution is still in the revue queue. So no public update yet. It'll get through, it's just taking longer than I expected. It's pretty annoying to not be able to control the schedule, but there's not really anything I can do about it.

The planned release date for the Steam version is March 15th. Since it's basically done, the only thing that would stop that is if it takes another week for the store page to go up since there's a minimum of 14 days be...

This is actually the full update but I want to release the public version alongside the Steam store page. Since that is taking a while to be reviewed by Steam, I'm giving it out early to patrons. Better you playing it than it sitting on my hard drive.

Wait while Steam does a review process to let the page be made public. It should only take a few days but until that's done I can't actually share anything. I want the female Carwyn update to happen when the store page is already done so no release today. Unfortunately that's a cost of working with platforms like this, you can't do everything by ...

At the Mountains of Friendship Bonus Scene #3 Poll

2/2 Status Update

First up a small update on At the Mountains of Friendship 1.3. 

The art for Sk8er is going well. That's it, that's the update. I haven't actually done any work on new content or mechanics yet.

What I did work on this week was Netoria Tactics. There's both the Steam release, and the Female Carwyn update. Both are getting close to done at this point. I'm planning on releasin...

1/26 Status Update

This week I mostly spent my time on the Netoria Tactics Steam release. It's coming along pretty well. I think it won't take much longer, next month is pretty likely unless some part of the art production really falls behind. This week the improved grope cut ins were delivered so let's look at one of those.

Wow, the characters actually look like the ones in game! Amazing! These cut ins have been...

Another Netoria Tactics 2 Poll

I've been talking about Netoria Tactics 2 a lot recently. People seem pretty excited about it, I like the idea of it, seems like a solid thing to get the ball rolling on. I've been building up a design document and keep running into a few snags. These mostly can be described by the chart below.

There's a lot of content I want to be in the sequel. I also want the sequel to have higher quality ar...

1/21 Status Update

Friday I put out the big At the Mountains of Friendship update I've been working on. 1.3 should be just as big since I plan to add a bunch of progression stuff like unlockable abilities for girls and items. So that should take a while. There's also been a few bad bugs found in 1.2 that I need to patch in the upcoming days.

1.3 will have Sk8er in it, work on her art should start this week. For people who don't remember the poll, a bunch of ideas for the combo so she should be fun. I'm pl...

1/12 Status Update

Futa Oasis 1.0 was released this week completing that game, at least for now. And also I got sick immediately afterwards. Coincidence? Yes.

My attention is now focused on At the Mountains of Friendship 1.2 which is very close to being done. I need to get the lines back from the voice actors, finish a few things, and we're good to go. I hope $10 patrons are ready to meet Avery, and those who are lower tier patrons are ready to meet Lydia.

1/5 Status Update

Last week I posted a poll about a possible Netoria Tactics sequel.  Based on the response people seem pretty excited about the prospect. I've been putting off starting pre-production in full for my next game because Naked Ambition is going so slowly. In theory, the next game would come out right when Naked Ambition ends. If I started work on it only when I was almost done, it would take six plus months between the end of one game and the launch of another. So will that next game be put i...
