Hello. I just wanted to take a minute to update you all on what's going on. As many of you may know (if you live in the U.S.A.) Hurricane Ida rolled through the south eastern coast of the US. It destroyed a ton of homes, vehicles, trapped many people for weeks without food (projected by clean up ...
2021-08-31 16:28:49 +0000 UTC View PostIda is projected to be a category 4 at landfall and reach near my area by Monday / Tuesday. Generally when hurricanes roll through my area, they affect power for a day or two if it's not too severe. Under severe circumstances this could be 4-5 days or more.
Hopefully it won't get to that...
I've been pretty quiet on this front, largely because I wanted to wait until I had something definite. Now that I have something more concrete I can confirm! This is a bit of a long read, but essentially it highlights what's coming.
HF largely has 3-4 main features for it's gameplay loop. S...

Starting with 0.29 a new feature will be introduced. Magic spells.
These will allow you to affect gameplay in various ways. As you grow more powerful you can cast multiple spells at a single time and eventually learn to wield them during battle or exploration. For now, you can have one spe...
As mentioned this patch addresses the following issues:
# - Fixed an error where a couple of Ryoko's scenes may have used more memory than intended.(Stacked videos)
# - Fixed an error where the nap-time and bed-time scenes introduced would not play in the correct order, as well as repeat...

Long story short, I'm a poor boy and I need to pay the 29.99 shadow fee. I'll have it up by tomorrow morning (It's nearly midnight here, so as soon as I'm able to pay le bill it will pretty much be updated, I wanted to have i...
Lyra's usually so level headed. How did she get roped into Fira's hijinx?!?
It was bought to my attention that 0.28 version has a bug (since fixed) that prevents Patrons from seeing the correct content.
You can download that here, as it gives you access to more Lyra, Ryoko and a few other scenes.

Depicted above is the scene of Fira in the Lull Forest. I think the re-creation of this scene came out pretty well -- don't you?
I decided to re-do it, along with some other early game events.
I have quite a few plans for Hom Factory, and now that I'm done mapping out the key events for the Prologue, I'd like to take a look at what comes next.
At the start I promised the ability to make your own Homunculus, and that has not changed. For that to happen, there are roughly 3 ...
Ryoko finds herself in an unusual position by going along with Fira's plans.

It's always been my intention to do training upgrades throughout the game. Once you reach a certain point, Pichi will offer you the first of these (beginning with the next update).
You can choose what amount of effort you want to put towards a particular training activity. Single means you...
These are posts to highlight some of the things I've been using to add a bit more polish to the game. There are info-graphics right before the training that allow you to preview what benefits you get with each training.
Which reminds me, I need to fix Fira's!
I updated the download links with the newest version of 0.28.
The main difference is the inclusion of some missing events (forgot to link them originally) and some new content added since the last few days.
These are mainly events for story, and also some Fira related content.

Just posting this ahead of re-releasing 0.28,which should happen within the next hour or two as long as the weather doesn't knock out my power (currently storming).
Update itself is done though!

2021-08-10 20:43:03 +0000 UTC View PostI may have accidentally released 0.28 without some of the intended scenes being connected!
This came to my attention yesterday. The scenes in question are related to Fira finding various outfits--and what happens thereafter.
Since this is the case, and I decided to do a "locked" pub...
Latest (0.28 Release)
Hello folks.
My apologies on the 1 day delay ,I intended to release this yesterday but I wanted to focus on nailing any lingering playability issues so I did a last minute play-testing session. I also decided to add a last minute addition which caus...
Lyra : "What are you two doing?"
Fira : "N-nothing!"

Since the gallery option is wonky at the moment, I will post a few shots from 0.28.

Hello!
At the start of this month I had grand plans. There's a saying, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him/her your plans!"
This holds true this month as well unfortunately!
I wanted to do some poses so that I could start creating original reward content, but unfortunately t...

First, let's start with the ETA of 0.27.
I mentioned this in the Discord channel, but for the patrons who do not use Discord the development slowed up for various reasons. This is largely due to the fact that I need to get my own PC (which I plan to do before month's end) ...
I'm considering adding bath time to the game as a feature.
Ideally, the way it works is pretty simple.
You would discover a new bath area in some manner (usually by being told, discovering it as a secret, or exploring a zone). Each bath would be different visually (and maybe some effect on ...
I streamlined the reward tiers a bit, basically removing the ones that are unused / unwanted. Here are also a list of the current changes besides that.
3$ Tier - 1 week (7 day) late release. Unlimited slots.
5$+ Tiers - Immediate release. Also there...
Hello!
This is less of an update in the sense of game development, but something sort of related to it. From here on out, I will have to adjust my workflow in relation to the interest of the project unless things change. FYI, this is a bit of a long read so you can skip the the TL ...
This past update has taught me quite a lot. Namely that the times are changing!
Normally I try to do 2 updates per month, you may notice that sometimes I miss the dates I aim for. The reason for that is simple, and you can read more about it below. (If you want to skip to the progress u...
2021-06-15 21:04:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks.
I just wanted to keep you updated on the process! I haven't disappeared. I've been quite busy in fact.
I released 0.25 public version yesterday. In reality, this version is 0.26 without the content updates.
The reason I did this is pretty simple. I've been trying to cr...
