Just a quick update. Apologies for not having posted here in a bit-- I will do better in that regard. For more frequent updates, please join us here:

All are welcome.
OK, I've had my head down and, with excellent feedback from the forum members, have been beavering away on Mysteria Lane. It is heavily inspired by the classic Stepford Wives tale by Ira Levin, so if this your cup of tea, drop in the forum and read more about progress there (and demo downloads for patrons). Of course, it will also be part of the Selecta universe and is more of a prequel to Corporate Raider in look and feel. It is the first project that I've actively solicited feedback from the very beginning (it actually was a project suggested by and greenlit by patrons and not a 'me' idea as such). I've really enjoyed the collaborative nature of the development and am amazed by the insight, sophistication and, dare I say, quite cultured and nuanced approach the forum members have brought to the project. You'll see lots of their ideas (and alter egos) inhabiting the landscape of Mysteria Lane and Harmony Heights. The first 'immersive' aspect of the game is roughly complete and I am now building out the major characters the player will interact with. One major element-- again, suggested by forum members-- has been the 'moral compass' decision. Rather than face a series of unremitting 'dark' transformations, the player may choose to take a more balanced approach and actually even be a bit benign if the player so chooses. So, something different that, if it works, will build on previous work and provide a different flavour of gameplay yet again.
Ok, I better get back to work!
