The Allure of Wanton Cove Progress Report

Today has been pretty busy.  

I spent about four hours catching up all of my paperwork related to "work."  (I've been putting it off since the start of the year, figured it better get done or it was going to be a complete nightmare come tax time.)  I learned two very important things in doing so:  1. I hate myself for waiting so long to do all that paperwork.  It's not so bad half an hour or so a month, but when you wait six months it's a huge pain in the neck.  and 2. I hate paperwork almost as much as I hate coding, . . . . 

Anyway, with that out of the way, I jumped right into Wanton Cove.  Got about 2k words of new content into the game, including a total of four new scenes.  This is actually a bit deceptive though since I've also started doing rewrites to some content so the amount of work done is actually a little more than that.    Also dropped a new image into the game today.

But even more than the writing, I spent at least half of my work time (Holy crap, can you believe I've been at this for nine hours already today?) running down bugs, making some suggested improvements, and correcting spelling errors that have been brought to my attention.  Working through my entire list of possible improvements is going to be a bigger undertaking than I was originally anticipating, . . . but then, nothing worth doing is ever easy.

I'm going to take a short break to make dinner for my family, but then I'll be wading back into Wanton Cove for a little while this evening.  It seems like I get my best work done late at night most days, . . . 

Now, on to everything else:

-I sent out a message to the artist who did the chibi style images for our Patreon page a while back.  Asked them if they'd be interested in doing one that includes both Anna and Eve.  

-Heard back from the artist I've asked to work on a Futa Apocalypse comic.  Sounds like they'll be setting themselves to work on it soon.

-Going to try to send a message out to our Wanton Cove artist this evening, see about setting up the next bunch of art for that game.  Probably going to do two images this month through them.

-Got real life responsibilities to take care of tomorrow, so while I hope to do SOME work tomorrow, most of my day is going to be focused on home and family related priorities.

-Focus of the day Friday is going to be getting as much done for Wanton Cove as I can.  It's looking like we're going to have a smallish build for the game coming up, but I'm still hoping I can hit 5k words of new content in addition to rewrites (Right now I've got about 2k words of new content, plus maybe 1k worth of rewrites where old content has been improved in some way.)

-We're currently on track for a Friday release for Inheritance.  I haven't received any more bug reports since the last fix build for testers, so I'm hoping that means everything is good for the next release.

Now, a little bonus for all of you free followers.  I usually reserve art that is not in the game for Patrons and/or for when they appear in the game for everyone.  In this case I wanted to share anyway.

I shared these with those of you who frequent Discord a couple of days ago (If you're not a member of our discord yet, check it out!  We have a  lot of fun conversations over there, and every once in a while I'll ask for thoughts on something over there instead of setting up a poll if I'm hoping for a quick answer!) so a lot of you may have already seen them.

I commissioned a set of blueprints for the mansion this month, this is the initial set of sketches.  The artist and myself have discussed some small changes to the images, but if you've ever wondered about how the mansion is laid out, then this should give you a much better idea of how things are arranged.  There will be some tweaks, but overall the layout should remain the same to completion.

Enjoy the new maps!  There's a lot of exciting stuff going on right now, I'm sure we'll have a lot more news to share in the coming days and weeks!
