A Few Last Previews

With the exception of a couple of last bits, the mini-update is ready to roll out! I'll be putting those finishing touches during the week with a view to releasing on Friday. Time to get excited!

I have also perfected the new image compression technique, achieving 90-95% ratios on the game's art assets with no noticeable loss. The reasons that matters are 1) that it means I can cut a lot more corners with image optimisation which should speed things up a lot with the next update, 2) The...

Announcing Side Quest: Slave to Love

After an absolute ding dong battle in which it looked at several points like it was going to go down to a runoff, Slave to Love has emerged victorious, seeing off even Jess's relationship quest thanks to a last minute surge. Full poll discussion below.

Be careful what you wish for...

In Sapphory, slaves are generally the preserve of the rich, and young, beautiful slaves virtually exclusive to the Nobility. So when Karen comes home one day with a young, beautiful s...

Picture Pack 35

Today I'm delighted to offer the 35th Missy 4k picture pack, and I think this one is pretty great! I deliberately avoided selecting characters or situations related to any of the options in the ongoing Council poll, as it's on an absolute knife-edge and I didn't want to influence it one way or the other. So without further ado, let's take a look at what we have!

Good Girls Go to Heaven

While Miss Paris's relationship quest is out of the running this time around, I...

What's Next?

Hi, everyone and thanks for joining me for today's public update.

Supporters, apologies for the lack of Monday update, things are on the busy side again, and it's messing with my ambition to have the mini-update ready at the end of this month, but we'll see how the rest of the week goes!

There's one more scene to make and then some testing, tweaking and other stuff before the supporter release, with the public release following a couple of weeks after that.

Which brings us ...

Cruelty of the Nobility

Hello, all!

The mini-update proceeds smoothly and I'm hoping to have it to you around the end of the month. I have a few small scenes still to make for it, some stuff to integrate and then some testing to do.

Meanwhile, the battle for 0.9 continues with the series of polls that will determine what is the next quest to go into the game. Founders Day won last week's poll and advances to the final, where it'll face off against the other two winners. One of those is being determined a...

State of the mini-update

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me for this week's public post.

We've looked back over the Reign of Jess over the last couple, and now it's time to look forward to the future with the mini-update. for those who've joined more recently or indeed anyone who may have forgotten the Avenging Angel mini-update, these aren't full releases and there won't be a new quest. There will be several new scenes, including the new Full School Assembly scene that kicks off Act 2, and the s...

Acting Up

Hi, all, hope you're well. The mini-update is on track for release in the next few weeks all being well. I will probably skip beta testing this time round, as there's not a great lot that can go wrong, but we'll see nearer the time.

By now, we all know what you can expect to find in there, the opening to Act 2, some new and updated events in school and the start of Emma's progression Old Debts.

Right now, the School Council is voting on the next major quest that will join...

Good things in the garden

Hi everyone.

Things are on the busy side again right now, so today's is just a short piece to showcase the latest location to be added to the ever-growing collection of 3D assets. Here is the Saint Alancia's School Garden.

That's the Great Hall there in the background, which, as of 0.8 is now on the other side of the garden. (Didn't notice it yet, go back and have a look!)

 The Garde...

Picture Pack 34

Hello, Prefects, Councillors and Nobles!

Today I am delighted to release the 34th Missy Picture Pack. I thought about going with a Rule 34 theme, but my imagination just isn't twisted enough, so instead, we'll have the usual mix of sexy and slightly off-the wall. Why mess with something that works?

SISTER Agent

This pinup of Scarlett was originally meant to be a solo girls-with-guns style shot, but I just couldn't resist adding in the helpless and hogtied Ab...

A Helping Hand

Hi everyone and thanks for reading this week's public update. Today's agenda is to discuss a new feature coming in the mini-update to help those of you that struggle with where to go and what to do, and then we'll talk poll results from last week.

Being a game dev can sometimes be an enlightening and frustrating experience, and one thing I consistently find is that as easy as I think I've made something, there are always questions about it. This is coupled with the fact that so many peo...

Early Previews

Hi everyone. Work on the mini-update proceeds smoothly, though at the moment, most of what's going on is coding and tinkering under the hood. I have a few exciting new features planned, the first of which I'll unveil in Wednesday's public post as it's very SFW and a good thing to save for a tamer post.

So today, let's take a first look at the new scene! If you're not into that, stop reading at the separator picture below this paragraph. One thing you'll note is missing from these previe...

Remastering as we go

Hi everyone. It's a balmy June weekend here and between getting way too hot doing work around the house, I'm finding what time I can to get more smut made for you!

Now, supporters of a certain vintage will remember that when I did the remaster to RPG Maker MZ, I also began a process of updating the older pictures to modern standards. I had to abandon this process halfway through when it became clear that it would have meant I'd probably still have been working on it now!

But since...

Reign of Jess Retrospective

Hi, all. I know that public posts have been a bit sparse of late, this was down to a series of things making unreasonable demands on my time, not least the rush to get Chapter Six done and out. Real life is currently still on the busy side, but I'm hoping to get a bit more regular with these as summer progresses. (Or winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere...)

But anyway, today I'll be do...

So little time

Hi everyone. Sorry about the lack of Friday/Saturday update last week, real life has gotten busy again all of a sudden so I didn't get the headstart made on the mini-update that I was hoping for. I don't expect this latest round will last long, but it's squeezing my development time in the meantime.

The workflow for the mini-update is coming together though, and the first couple of weeks will probably be code and dialogue updates. I'm not going to spend too long giving every NPC unique ...

Missy 0.8 Public Release

The supporter-only period has come to an end and Missy 0.8 is today released to the wider public. As always, the game is always free forever!

Download it here.

0.8 adds the sixth chapter and completes the first act, as well as opening up more of Fivaviana. We all know this of course, but here's a full breakdown of the changes.

When discussing the ending on Discord, please remember to include spoiler t...

Back to School

Hi everyone. Work on the mini-update is going smoothly, with the public release of 0.8 imminent, I'll be able to begin making the changes to the school this week.

Chapter Six spoilers ahoy for anyone that still hasn't played it yet.

Before we fully leave the Reign of Jess behind though, (besides the retrospective that will follow the public release,) I'm curious about something. So today...

I've gathered you all here...

Hi everyone, welcome to the Friday update.

Today we'll be talking mini-update again. With the public release happening next week, I'll soon be able to start making changes to the game file itself, but as you can see, I've been busy with plenty of other things while we wait for that. The school hall map I revealed last week is being put to good use for a new scene Full School Assembly.

The promo image up top there is from it, and features our first tantalising glimpse of...

Missy: Act 2 and the return to Alancia's!

Hi all, and welcome to the (slightly belated) last public update before the release of 0.8! I think I've said everything I need to about Chapter Six by this point, (and my supporters have played it anyway,) so today, let's take a look ahead to what's coming next: Act 2!

The ending of the Reign of Jess finishes the first act of the game, and with it, the story moves forward. Alancia's bears the scars and so what's coming after 0.8 will be a mini-update, (those of you that have been with ...

Echo! (echo.. echo....)

Hi everyone.

The period between supporter and public release is normally a time for tidying up and maybe reworking some older stuff, but in this case, I've dove right into the mini-update, since there's plenty I can be doing without affecting the game files. I have a few small bugs to squash that have been found since launch and I'm also catching up with a couple of commissions that got put on the backburner in the rush to get it out, but I'm also already on with new content. So let's h...

Picture Pack 33

Hello Prefects, Council Members and Nobles!

Today's picture pack has something of a Chapter Six theme to it. Spoilers are very light, we're looking mostly at alternate endings and the like, but fair warning has been given!

Time for Bed

With that in mind, I put the least spoiler-y one at the top where people landing on the page would see it. Here we see Emily's pinup shot, included in both portrait and landscape, for an even better view of that amazing ass. O...

Looking ahead

Hi everyone. I hope you have all been enjoying 0.8 and the conclusion to the Reign of Jess. I'll do a proper retrospective on this after the public release, as it's the sort of thing that makes a great Wednesday post, but for now, let's talk a little about that ending and more importantly, what it means going into Act 2 and the mini-update. Needless to say, today's post contains spoilers for Chapter Six, so if you haven't played it yet, stop reading now and come back when you have!

0.8.Facepalm

For those just joining us who didn't download the broken version, see the original post. It now links to a fixed version that does not have the bug and does not need this patch.

Well I thought I'd done it. I thought I'd finally made a release that wouldn't need a day 1 patch, but here we are. The playtesters did indeed do an amazing job, and then I made one small change right before I compiled, so small I figured it wouldn't even need to be tested and hey... I ...

Missy 0.8 Supporter Release

The wait is over! Probably the most hotly anticipated instalment of Missy so far is finally finished! Sorry it's late in the day, had a lot of stuff to do before launch.

Here are the download links, feel free to get it started while I go on.

Choose your weapon

Today's public post is a shameless plug, as 0.8 is less than 48 hours from supporter release - so if you've been considering jumping aboard, now is a great moment as you could be playing Chapter Six before the weekend!

Let's take a look at those levels and see which one fits best...

Schoolgirl

The first tier offers access to supporter-only posts, and of course, the very next one of those will be the new content. But in the time in-between supporters get trea...

Reign of Jess Part 3 - The Deep Dive!

The playtesters are hard at work and we're now only a few days out from the launch. Thanks to their efforts, you've already been spared a number of nasty bugs that I missed during development! (Testers, if you haven't received it or been added to the Discord channel, get in touch, it's an oversight.)

Today, we're going to do the traditional deep-dive, always the last supporter-only post before the launch. In it, we'll pull together everything we know about the new content and whet your ...

Last of the Previews

We're done. I'm going to have a couple of quick run-throughs, fix anything that needs fixing, dot some Is, cross some Ts and then it's off to the testers. 0.8 is days away!

So since it would just be bad form to go over a week with no post at all (I chose hammering it on with the update to get it done by this weekend over talking about it,) here's some final previews of some of the lovely new content you'll find in Chapter Six!

In boring technical news, I've discovered a new compre...

The Journey Home

It's the weekend and I'm hard at work on rendering. I have two scenes left to make, then it's a few last bits of tinkering and off to the testers. We'll be looking at the deep dive really soon.

There's still some bits left to add to Fivaviana just to flesh it out and make some of the new maps feel a bit more lived-in, (nothing worse than big empty maps) and then I'm calling 0.8 done!

Today, let's take a look at a few more previews. They're coming thick and fast now as I move onto ...

Eva's Crib

Hi everyone, and thanks for joining me for this week's public check-in. Today I have some previews to show you, as I finally have some scenes in which the characters are wearing clothes! ^^

Development-wise, the cycle is now in the end stages, I have a few sessions of rendering left to do, some stuff to tidy up and then it'll be off to the playtesters!

But about these previews...

 Mi...

The schoolgirl and the MILF

Hi everyone. I said I was getting through the remaining tasks for Chapter Six handily now, didn't I? And to underline that point, here's even more previews! The weekend was very productive for me, and I'm making up for lost time over the last couple of weeks. Let's dive in!

 If you were hoping that your servitude to Emily was over after last chapter (for some reason,) then I have bad news for yo...

The Craziest previews yet....

Hi everyone. It's been a great couple of days of rendering and I've moved things forward quite a bit. I'm ticking scenes off my list quickly now in an effort to get Chapter Six operational in the next few weeks. Assuming things stay reasonably calm in real life, I'm confident that we won't see the start of another month before this update releases.

And on that exciting note, let's take a look at some previews!
