Hey guys, it's been a long time since I had a creator poll! Basically I asked my Creator tier what content they wanted me to work on for the next update, and it was between completing Harshville's Restaurant story arc, or doing NB Day 9.
NB took the win handily with 5 votes, while Harshville only got 1. That's still only 6 votes though, meaning each vote has a lot of power.
Anyway I'm happy to work on either project, as they both need lots of content and polish still. I've made ...

Hey everyone! It's been a long absence full of ups and downs, but I feel like I'm ready to come back in a big way. Unfortunately I no longer have a nice gaming rig to do renders on, and I had to buy a new windows laptop to run RPGMaker MV which is no longer supported on the new Apple hardware that I use. So for now I will be doing text-based content in the game, just a heads up. I did play around with midjourney, but its very hard (or impossible) to get NSFW stuff out of it, but who knows. If...

Hey Banished fans!
I won't get into the boring personal reasons why I've been away, but mainly just run-of-the-mill relationship issues.
I've decided to relaunch a project called NY 2030 I had been working on, but instead of in comic form with renders I'm just writing long form fiction.
If you've played my games, which I'm assuming you have, you kind of know my recipe. Dystopian city with extreme divide between the rich and the normal(poor).
In NY 2030 we have the ...

Hey everyone!
I'm excited to announce a new comic series I'm working on called NY 2030. It takes place in the year 2030 like the title suggests and will follow a set of diverse characters as they survive and thrive in an increasingly dystopian vision of New York City.
Thanks to the generous support of my patrons I've been able to enroll in a paid digital art and comic creation course that I'm enjoying immensely. My plan for NY 2030 is to explore themes and ideas outside of stric...

Hey everyone!
I hope you've enjoyed the recent content this month and are having a great summer. Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm taking some time again away from the computer in September and hopefully I can manage to even stay offline for a while.
I want to unplug a bit and do some writing, and thinking, and map out my priorities in life as I'm starting to get a bit older lol. Sadly I'm not sure that game dev or even adult content will remain part of my usual activities,...

Hey everyone!
The glacial pace of Harshville updates has inspired yet another backer to start their own project, this one very much in the mold of Harshville itself.
You play as a newcomer to a harsh medieval desert town where the rich have it all and the poor have nothing. Reputation and hunger play an important role and there's even a scene similar to the miner girl underground, if you know what I'm talking about.

Hey everyone, Patreon recently informed me that I'm eligible to offer annual subscriptions at a discount!
You're now able to gain access to the tier of your choice for 10% off when committing to 12 months of support. Is it worth losing the flexibility to come and go? Up to you. The benefit to me is I have a better idea of how much funds I have available for assets in the asset store, etc.
Anyway it's not a big deal, I just thought I'd let you know it's now an option ^.^

Day 7 is a lazy sunday, but not for Summer! She needs to work for her meals now and work she shall. So far I'm focusing on the foot massage parlor since, well we are femdom fans aren't we xD.
Unlike the first parlor encounter, this time there will be fully rendered scenes alongside text ones. I'm also planning on continuing the n...

Hey everyone!
I decided to point my rendering efforts towards the gloomy city of Harshville these past few days and have been working on a (long awaited?) update for you guys. It's not big, but it does add a new random massage parlor encounter to the mix, bringing the total to 3 max.
Again it's not a groundbreaking update, but I hope it scratches any itch you have for some new Harshville ^.^
It should be ready for testing very shortly and available to the Gamer tier somet...

Thanks to your support over the years I´ve been able to buy my dream graphics card, the RTX 3090 from Nvidia. This is the newest generation Titan card essentially and has allowed me to cut my render time significantly. What used to take between 1 and 3 hours to render now takes me less than 20 minutes :D
This means my workflow is a lot smoother and I can bring my ideas to life like never before.
As a token of my appreciation I´m opening up the Designer tie...

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking this over a lot and I’ve decided to take another break from game development.
The larger my games have gotten, the more effort it takes to make a new update, and it’s gotten to the point where it’s just taking too much of my time.
You guys/girls are amazing, and I love sharing my creations with people around the world. But due to the nature of adult content, it’s n...

Sorry I haven't been as active recently. I'm getting ready for a trip back to Europe in the coming weeks and have been doing a lot of packing.
The last Creator poll ended on July 31st and saw New Beijing win over Harshville 7 to 6, without counting the handicap points (9 to 6). Thanks to those who voted and sorry there wasn't another poll since then.

Hey everyone,
I'm finishing up the next Harshville update and wanted to say more about it. I've decided to make it a death sentence/ending type route where you are being punished for a certain crime. It has to do with the sketchy stimulants you can buy at the warehouse in town. I'm not sure how many spoilers I should give about it, but know that the mechanic is now working as I wanted it to.
Anyway, the reason it's taking a little longer than I thought is that I'm assuming you'r...

Hey everyone!
August 1st has really crept up on me, not sure about you. This year is going by fast, and I've decided to make some changes to the $15 tier.
Aside from being able to design a custom render, I will now be posting a new image every week in 1440p (or 1080p) for this tier. These renders will be unlocked at the Supporter ($2) level a month later.
The renders you design can be of any character from any game, or a completely new one that you think of (except for Ha...

Hey banelings (fans of banished? xD)
I've finished a lot of the renders for the upcoming Harshville update, featuring the shame pillory in the public square. This is a device you are locked in to in order to appease one of your crazy ex-girlfriends, but will also be used to serve various sentences you can gain in game.
I'm thinking if your reputation goes too low you'll be thrown in here? Or if you owe money, get caught doing drugs, etc. I'm not too sure, so I just did the rende...

Hey everyone,
Here's some concept art for New Beijing I worked on last night.
"Last-minute studying before the Biology midterm"
I don't know if it'll make it into the game or anything but these are definitely the models I want to use for Lucy and Summer (plus or minus some tweaks, let me know what you think).
It's still a first person view game but I thought it would be fun to zoom out on the action a bit.
For those who havn't played NB, it's a side project...

Hey everyone,
Remember Sue from the diner? Come see what she's up to in her office at the top of the New Ark building! Now in her revamped 3D form I can do much more with her and her new "acquisition".
The New Ark content will be the meat of this update, though the apartment buying will be there too, albeit in a basic form. I'll also be starting a Creator tier poll about which classic Harshville character you want to see more of.
Hope to get this out soon!

Just wanted to let you know that Patreon is charging sales tax starting in June. This only affects some U.S states apparently. Patreon gave me a guide to follow in order to reduce these as much as possible, so hopefully you aren't dinged too much with this change.
If you are outside the United States or are in a state that doesn't charge online sales tax, nothing changes for you.
They will be sending you an email as well but I thought you should hear this so...

My artist is putting the finishing touches on Thirst page 4 and I'll be distributing that with NB Day 5 early next month.
For those who don't know about this comic, it's my way of rewarding long-time backers who have contributed the most support to my projects. That type of consistent funding gives me the confidence and ability to bring on more people to the Banished team and produce more content I couldn't get to on my own.
Plot-wise, Thirst takes place in ...

Work continues on the side project New Beijing, and just like we're all on lockdown, so is Summer (potentially). I think potentially is the word that will sum up this update best, as there are just so many possible paths Summer can now take.
The one I've made most progress on so far is the prison path, when Summer's compliance score hits 0 and you're sent away. She'll have to navigate a dangerous new environment full of innocent barangs like her but also hardened c...

Anyway this update continues the ending where Marta has "saved" you f...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know I've changed the Designer tier to something more reasonable (and scalable).
Whereas before it involved designing a character for the games, now you can custom build a render with me. It'll still make it to the game potentially but without the overhead it used to cause for the game's development automatically.
The renders will be at least 1080p and shared with everyone, but you'll be in the director seat. Past popular backer designs have ...

I feel like it's been longer than usual since I've posted. This actually relates to the subject of last month's poll, which was something pretty substantive.
Basically I did some some exploring of the other adult games/visual novels in the scene and started feeling kind of weird about my own work. When I first started this journey, my main influences were Captured by Dark Elves and Femdom City both by Darktoz, which are great. Those games made my ideas seem possibl...

Greetings Harshvillains!
This next update opens up the Mara Estate, one of the three main Pleasantview farms! Like the Ranch in last update, the Estate will be reachable in two different ways. Via the Docks after filling out the slave aptitude form and waiting in the cage, and via taking out a loan at the Casino. In this case, it's when you don't repay the loan on time that you become a fugitive and are able to be captured, triggering a scene where you pay with your freedom. Of course,...

Hey everyone! It was fun getting input from all of my backers this time around, and you pretty overwhelmingly chose Marta's arc for the next update (70%).
The Farm content is much more sprawling than I intended given that there's 3 major players. I'm more or less finished with one of the paths and will release that today, but I think I'll have to keep working on Farm content to really do it justice. Marta will officially be added to the queue however!
Stay tuned for the update :...
