Higher backers! If there was ever a time to influence this Patreon, it's now!
I have spent a ton of time going through all kinds of artists. I'm sure I've considered hundreds of profiles, and I've emailed several dozen artists. Now it is finally time to make a post about it.
Man, this has turned into a big, scattered update. >.< Scan the sections for the ones you want to read, don't miss the business stuff later.
General Thoughts/Progress
Weird week, not sure how to report it. On one hand, I was personally on fire, and it's been a while sinc...
2016-05-14 00:56:06 +0000 UTC View Post2016 EDIT: If you want to play this alpha, send me a PM requesting the link. I do want to emphasize, though, that this project is on the backburner for the foreseeable future, perhaps indefinitely.
If you're getting this update, you should also be getting a message wit...
2016-05-06 19:51:44 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up, just informing you that I'll be sending out the partially finished Futa High out to $10 backers. If I do finish it at some future point, $5 backers and eventually everyone will see it, but for now I'd like to keep unpolished work under wraps. Anyway, on to the TLS update.

2016-05-06 19:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostI'm changing my schedule because there's no reason to drag things out. All backers should have received links to both my stories, and $5 and above backers also have Ouroboros. If you didn't get it, possibly because your pledge was declined, just send me a message and I'll sort it out.
Way more declines than usual this month, that's discouraging. =/ It doesn't affect the bottom line though, everything will continue at full speed!
My break month is almost over, so it's time for an exact release schedule. Here's what you can look forward to over the next two weeks:

Two quick items of business, then the preview I'll be posting on my blog later today:
1) This is definitely happening. I've been doing lots of finishing/testing, since that's where my inspiration has been lately, so I'm sure the game will be ready for you guys as soon as the month is over. I'm...
2016-04-28 19:59:11 +0000 UTC View PostOuroboros is pretty much done. It needs copy-editing and play-testing, but I need to let the game cool off in my mind a little before I do that. So as we get close to May 3, I'll pick it up again, play through, and try to get it into a polished state.
I also need to edit the various stor...
2016-04-24 22:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostSo, today I'm going to talk about the project of mine that's furthest along: Ouroboros. It's an adventure RPG made in MV; I hope it will be a fun diversion for people.
I'm aiming to make the game overall feel far less like a conventional RPG. There are no character levels, for example, so ...
2016-04-17 19:39:19 +0000 UTC View PostIt's interesting to reflect on how money affects the creative process. Specifically, the difference between doing something purely as hobby and trying to rely on it as your sole job. You do see this have a negative effect on some people, but for the most part I've found it very positive.
This ...
2016-04-10 22:11:31 +0000 UTC View PostWell, this is awkward timing overall. Version 0.17.4, Noxian Nights, and other random events are not aligning in a way that makes for a very clean break between business as usual and my official side project month. I have been pretty productive recently, just not in a terribly satisfying way.

2016-03-31 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostI hope everyone is having a good holiday. The new public version of the game is out, and with the second chapter completed I expect to get an uptick in attention. And actually, I'd like to help that out if at all possible.
Does anyone know of sites or other places that cover NSFW games and mig...

2016-03-27 21:47:54 +0000 UTC View PostYou should get your messages shortly after I finish posting. There are some bug fixes, so definitely play this one if you haven't started 0.17.0, but this update is mostly the cosmetic improvements I couldn't get into the previous one. So check it out if you're interested in:
- Over 30 new n...
2016-03-22 22:34:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs I've mentioned over the past while, I am running low on energy. I have a plan for dealing with it, and now is the time to announce it. I'll start with you $10 guys and announce it publicly later (once I have 0.17.1 and .2 wrapped up, since those are priority).
What I want is not a total bre...
2016-03-20 22:00:28 +0000 UTC View PostNOTICE: My home internet is down. -_- I'm getting this release out via a cafe, but obviously I can't camp out here all the time. So I especially hope this release is not bugged, because I may be MIA for the next while.
That aside: new version of the game! You should have a message with the lin...
2016-03-19 00:11:04 +0000 UTC View PostI am tentatively hoping to release the next section of the game this Friday (March 18). Finishing up the Noxian Nights release dragged on for a while, but it's out and it looks like it's stable and well-received, so that clears the next week of other work.
Since last update, I've finished...
2016-03-13 20:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the side objectives I want to accomplish this update is to replace a bunch of the default RPG Maker music and battlers with custom material. The less default material, the more people will give the game a chance.
To that end, I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to recommend any cus...
2016-03-09 20:29:04 +0000 UTC View PostBy objective standards, progress is going very well. I have the remainder of the summit in good shape and I'm well into the Vhala quest line. That's turning out to be more extensive than anticipated, so I'm glad you voted to split this release - trying to do this all in one would have been a very...

2016-03-01 07:59:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a busy week, but I'm not sure what to say about it. I'm still in the early stages where it's difficult to determine what percentage of the update I've finished.
The upcoming version will have four major components:
- The remaining days of summit voting
- The m...

2016-02-19 23:39:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, new version of the game! You should have a message with the link shortly!
PLEASE NOTE: This release was sent via Patreon to people who pledged before February 1st. If you pledged since then, you won't receive the message. If you would like to pledge and get it right now, contact me vi...
2016-02-13 00:35:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt seems the majority of voters are in favor of splitting up the next release into two updates, both released to the public. I am fine with this, but apologies to those in the non-insubstantial minority.
Due to this decision, I can say with reasonable confidence that the update will be coming ...
2016-02-07 19:23:07 +0000 UTC View Post
$10 backers, you will definitely want to weigh in on this one! Two big questions today, in brief:
1) How the next section of the game should be released.
2) Exact resources for Aka's condition.
Issue #1: Release Timing
This next section of the plot is big. I can either sp...
2016-01-31 15:34:04 +0000 UTC View PostThough I've had to focus on other projects, I've managed to get an okay amount done on the upcoming update.
This will be a big one... perhaps too big. I'll make a $10 thread later for people to vote on exactly how this should proceed. Ardford is another city as large as Stineford or Ari-Yhilin...

2016-01-31 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostGoing to be quick here, busy day. I'm looking for suggestions of other events, interactions, or scenes that you wanted to see during the reunion chapter.
What I want is general concepts, elements you feel are missing. One person felt like Balia should have met Stark's head, for example, and th...
