Hey Maniacs! Here's this month's Ultros key. Thanks for keeping the lights on over here and I'm working on your exclusive content alongside Equigon.

Hi Everyone!

It's Monday! I don't have a huge exciting build but I did get a bunch done this week. No video because nothing's really very visually interesting, but I'm expecting something next week.

Monday-Thursday was emails and bug fixes. That's why there was a new launcher released on Thursday! I also got a totally rad suggestion via email for an update to Besti 9 that should only take a day, so I scheduled th...

Launcher update! Yay!

Hi Everyone!

Mid-week update! 

I just wanted to let you know I made a rather significant update to the launcher to fix a number of issues:

• #1 Windows 7, Vista, 8 and Linux computers should work as expected again when adding a key. 
• #2 The resolution selector has been improved and will work more reliably.
• #3 A new key format has been added so we can get around the changes made to Dropbox ...

MOAR EMAILS

Misi Jinjahl just let me know that even though I TOTALLY FOR REAL told it not to email everyone on the higher tiers to not email all of the other tiers' content, it did anyway, creating a giant email blast-a-thon.

I pulled the lever!
Why do they even have that lever?

Exclusive content for Producer + folks

If you'd like the huge PNG of the header this week, it's attached. There's also an alternate version where I censored the eyes with a big black box over the eyes like I'm censoring the identity of the character. Might make it work better as wallpaper.

Aspect ratio is ~21:9.

Monday FUNDAY amirite?

Hi Everyone!

It's Monday! New build, new keys, and a pretty sweet painting. Wallpaper for 21:9 displays if you have one of those. No video this week just so I can steal an extra day of development to see if I can get stuff out early. Art takes a long time (though, dude, I want to see a cartoon done in this grimy art style.)

I spent the last few days just getting ...

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for your patience while I finished some things! It took longer than expected but I've been posting on Twitter about what I'm up to/what's causing the delays. Thanks for your patience and I apologize for any concern that may have caused.

Everyone gets the video this time! Please watch it! If you'd rather read though, here's my writeup <3

While I didn't get much done on Besti X I was still very productive! Answered emails until Friday, reprogrammed the launcher Friday and Saturday, and made a cool painting on Sunday into Monday. Nice!

Monday build! New stuff!

Hey Everyone!

New month, with awesome new builds to start it off!

It's been super busy but I spent a whole week answering emails, a whole week on Besti X, and a whole week on Besti 9!

The result of that is:

• Besti X has some new code and internal art assets for use in Equigon, one of the new Besti X-based programs. Still no release ready so no new keys un...

November Week 1 Director Commentary

Hey Subscribers!
Here's the first of hopefully four Director Commentary releases this month just for you <3

In this video I go over the idea behind the Besti theme system, and I talk for no more than 70 seconds about the anxiety-causing situation in the United States. Believe me that's an accomplishment! <3

November Week 1 Update!

Hey Everyone!

It's Monday! No build this week, but I did get a ton of stuff done.

While I worked on a lot of things, the coolest thing is the new Theme system for Besti X, which is a Besti SDK tool that lets you make unique standalone Besti X executables that can then be distributed to others.

What's a theme though? Basically the whole look and feel of the interface, including icons, s...

Hi Everyone!

Thanks very much for your patience over the last couple weeks! I've been working hard on Besti and various projects for you, and I apologize for not posting on here for a couple weeks. My cat Trouble died and it just destroyed me, so I threw myself into work and just made a bunch of stuff instead of communicating with anyone. Thanks for understanding.

WOOOOOOOT!

Would you believe it?! I'm caught up on emails and it's freaking Monday! I haven't been this on schedule in weeks! Looks like setting a daily schedule helps keep me from getting overwhelmed!

Should be a good production week this week. Coding time! I'm going to work on improving the horse penis hand attach mechanism and then code on Equigon, The Extreme Content Project, and Besti X. Let's see how much I can get done <3

Fun behind the scenes fact: I made all of those noises in one sitting without any audio manipulation. That's quite a...

Hi Everyone!

It’s a new month! The new build was up on Monday, but it took me a few extra days to get this month’s intro cartoon done.

The cartoon is awesome, though, so totally worth it, plus it let me keep the September key live a few more days. It features the two new characters that were in Monday’s build. 2020-10-09 22:51:00 +0000 UTC View Post

I was entirely sure I would have a full build today and I figured that would justify my failure to make the video, but nope! Skunk’s infamously bad time estimates strike again.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your patience during the fires. There's a brand new build on the servers, and I'm going to do the video in a day or two. I made an awesome new oral behavior in Besti 9 for all friend types done from the Pony On Top position. Grab his/her head and to go to town. It's a fully-featured behavior with Besti Toy compatibility. I had a lot of requests for this so hop...
