Happy Halloween
I'm pretty terrible at making good looking scenes, but here's a little something from me to you!

Version 1.0!
After a fair bit of deliberation, I think I will finally bump this version of the game up to 1.0. There are many reasons for this, but in a nutshell I spent a good deal of time focusing on stability and bug fixes that may have been present. I think it's safe-ish to say that the game is more solid...
2021-10-30 08:22:35 +0000 UTC View Post0.31 Progress Report
I've spent a good deal of time bouncing back and forth between early game events, as well as adding new content. I've managed to replace about 60% of the early game content (before you are allowed to set out on your own and do as you please). I also removed a few bits that I felt ...

*Important*
Just yesterday I ran across a glitch that may result in unexpected behavior for the game, essentially allowing you to click on buttons beneath your current screen. This has been fixed with the latest version of the game which will release in a fe...

A few people have asked about this, and it's rather simple once you know how.
First, go to the folder where your game has been unpacked.
Once there, go to your search bar and type in...
2021-10-13 08:47:34 +0000 UTC View PostNew Intro
Some players may never see this, since it's right at the beginning and recently added. So, I thought I'd share it here.
*Note that I'm not the best at making 'good' videos. Hopefully the quality isn't too bad.*
Kinks {WIP}
A while back I started adding features for the kinks system of the game. Now that some of the major stuff is behind me, I can pick up where I Ieft off.
Kinks allow you to customize your gameplay by opting to view events related to various kinks.

Took A Few Days Off
And then I started on 0.31.
And ,immediately, I found some bugs that prevent content I posted in 0.30 from being seen.
I'll release a patch soon for the errors that I found in 0.30's newest additions. My apologies on this.
I didn't really get to test 0.30 as much as I should have due...

-The in-game menu has changed. Click the Black and white icon to expose the sub menus.
-Crafting is no longer a menu on it's own, instead you can craft by v...
While I'm waiting for this to upload -- let's talk!
*TL DR This is a personal post, mostly unrelated to the latest release.*
I'm actually stressing right now.
Why?
Well, partially because I'm a work-a-holic. But the bigger part of this is related to the game and content development. Truthfully, it's ...
And bam,
Shot myself in the foot!
It's okay though, just sorting out some last minute kinks with displaying information for Alchemy traits and Magic spells (aka the new Grimoire page that shows information for these things).
New ETA is 4 pm. I'm finishing up now, and it will take about...

I'm...on schedule to release as planned today.
Imagine that. o_O
*also note that I may have jinxed myself by sharing that just now*
All jokes aside, I will endeavor to release this between noon (2 hours or so from now) and 3 PM my time. This will allow for a bit of ex...

I'm crashing (literally falling asleep in my chair), so I'll take a few hours of sleep and finish up.
Here's the total list of things I've added thus far:
0.29-0.30 Summary
- Gallery fixed. Added a few new photos.
- Grimm Story : Bond Events (+2)
Development Points
This is a post to sort of track the elements of the game that I need to work on / improve, for my own use as well as yours. 10 being they are "perfect", 0 being needs a lot of work. I tend to be a bit harsh on myself since I know what the "end result" should look like so take this with a grai...

I spent the last week sorting out the content I'd like to add to this month's update and yesterday I started working on the project. Starting now and for the rest of the week I will mostly be afk as I work as well. It helps me focus and get more done.

0.29 Progress Update
I woke up a bit later than I wanted today, so its looking like early morning(Thursday) for 0.29's release). I'll use the extra time to finish adding in more scenes and events for personal stories.
In terms of changes, most of them have been focused on technical and gameplay improvements.
Progress Update for 0.29
TLDR, my target of releasing this weekend is still on and you get some bonus play this month.
For those of you who follow both games (Heavenly Peaks Cultivation and Hom Factory), you might notice that the amount o...
