Alpha 4.2 Release!

Hello everyone, Alpha 4.2 has officially been released! This version brings with it a complete overhaul to the final date with Purple Smart. It is over four times longer and contains many new lewd images. In order to see it you'll need to replay that date, however.


We are going to rework the old interactive scene back in the game as an easter egg but for right now it is temporarily disabled due to some issues that arose when upgrading several parts of our engine.

A Tiny Hiccup (but breakfast is coming soon)

Hey everyone, due to an unfortunate miscommunication over how much art needed to be done and when exactly the implementation had started we're going to have to delay the release by two weeks. Scion (the only programmer) had planned to be unavailable next week which makes this miscommunication have such unfortunate timing.

The good news is that there are a lot of new and unique cute poses with Purple Smart coming and the conclusion to her arc is much stronger. The dialogue has been done ...

Alpha 4.2 Update and Upcoming Release

Hey guys update! The new revised Purple Smart lewd scene is nearing completion. It turned out to be quite a a large addition in terms of writing and frame count, but I'm sure you'll be pleased to see it very soon.

We're expecting to be able to release it sometime next week.

There has also been a big improvement in how loading character pose art assets is handled, which now makes an Android build feasible.  We are looking to release an early test build for Android with Alpha 4...

Alpha 4.2 News Twilight Sparkle Lewd scenario rework.

  

Hey guys/gals, I’d like to update you all on the progress of 4.2

As I mentioned in a previous post, we’re trying another route with the lewd parts of the game that are more in line with the dates we have. We have a new writer who is handling all the dialogue/event of the date (and future ones too) named Silk Wright, who also does work for spookykittys game.

The scenario rewrite has been completed, and I’m (tiarawhy) is in the process of doing the CG art/fr...

Alpha 4.1: Spring Cleaning

Alpha 4.1 is here! 

This version adds in a date with Purple Smart that did not make it into the 4.0 release. The library has undergone some minor changes and, after completing the date, you'll be able to check out books to read! 

This update IS backwards compatible. Even if you have already completed Purple's route, you can load your save and talk to her in order to complete the new event. Normally the date takes place the day after you go to the cafe.

Alpha 4.1 Update - Plans and Changes

Hey guys this is tiarawhy, I wanted to update you all on the changes we’re planning to make towards the lewd scenes of the game.  This sudden change is coming from me primarily and because of that Alpha 4.1 unfortunately won’t include the lewd scenes but the new library date will be released as planned.

Please direct your concerns/flames to me as this was out of Scion’s/Spooky’s hands and something I dropped them towards the end of the month because I felt ...

Alpha 4.1 Progress Update - Lewds and Libraries

Hello everyone! This month we'd like to shed some more light on Alpha 4.1 and what it will contain.

There will also be TWO new lewd scenes that take place after the current scene, one interactive and one a loop. Alpha 4.1 will co...

Patreon payment processing issue.

Hi everyone!  It seems like patreon moved to the UK, which resulted in a lot of pledge clines because the CC processors think it's a fraudulent charge due to being overseas.

If your pledge was cancelled please try calling your bank and telling them to let it go through (this affects all patreons and patrons).

You can see the full message about the issue going on here with patreon saying it will try again to reprocess charges:

If your favorite pony didn't win, don't fret! Although this means we will be giving Purple some additional focus in Alpha 2.0, we still plan to have content available for each character.

Also it should be noted that this poll does NOT reflect which pony we will give additional attention to next time.
