Still Cleaning Up

I'm going through the demo over and over, cleaning up bugs typos as I run across them and generally cleaning up things so that it looks a bit nicer (for example trying to eliminate giant spaces between paragraphs or walls of text). It's a pretty daunting undertaking, but I'm slowly making headway...

Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

Psst. Since you guys are awesome and supportive and generally awesome peeps, here's the rough demo file for Enter the Expansion Mansion.

We're in the final stages!

The demo version is at a "rough complete" stage now. That's right. All of the prose and basic coding for the demo is complete, and I've done a few test plays to ensure nothing major is breaking.

I'll be spending the next day or two running it through its paces to ensure I've not missed anyt...

Debug Time!

I'm taking a breather from writing that final passage (it's a small thing that'll be pretty quick) to do some test runs of the game and BUGS EVERYWHERE!

Thankfully, I'm pretty sure I've already pinpointed the cause of 90% of them and will just need to correct the code. A major case of deja ...

6/14 Progress Report

I might be able to squeeze in a bit more work today, but as of right now, I've finished all of the demo endings. Ultimately, it ended up being 3 endings for the demo (the one that I had split apart ended up just making sense as a single ending, though what you do in the story will cause it to var...

Final Location Passage Nears Completion

I've had a lot to deal with today, but I've managed to get a good bit of work done in between other obligations.

I'm finalizing the final location passage (the last "room" in the demo area) and its various offshoots right now, and that will leave only two endings (another one cropped up, wh...

Another Productive Day

Well, after several hours of work on the game, I've finished the second growth sequence, fixed a bunch of code, cut out some early lactation bits that are going to be reintegrated into some later parts of the game, and tweaked some aesthetic touches to clean up things.

All in all, I did a b...

New Growth Sequence in Process!

Today's big project is to write up the prose for the second growth sequence and get the code integration functional.

I've also noticed a pretty annoying oversight from the first growth sequence that will need to be corrected to future proof. Basically, the growth sequences are able to be pl...

Progress progressed!

It was a pretty fruitful day.

The second demo ending was finished and a butt load of cleanup was done on various bits of the game.

Tomorrow looks to be a similarly productive day, so I hope to finish another ending and a new short expansion scene. It's coming along!

Day of Progress Begins!

I've been chipping away at progress on Enter the Expansion Mansion off and on throughout the week, but it's now Sunday! And I have no real plans all day, so I expect to make some serious headway toward getting the real Demo 1 finished today (but probably won't actually get it finished today).

Development is back underway!

It's been a shit year. I've had some really shitty health problems that made doing anything on my computer a huge headache, and developing Enter the Expansion Mansion on my phone wasn't happening.

But I'm on the mend now, and I'm getting back to work!

I've made some good headway into ...

Demo for "Enter the Expansion Mansion" in development

I'm well into development on the first real demo for my first interactive expansion story. The title is "Enter the Expansion Mansion" and yes, it's a reference to the old Expansion Mansion forums from back in the day.

I am still working out a few bugs and have a few more segments to write, ...

Back with a new gig

I recently decided to learn how to use Twine to create web based Interactive Fiction (AKA Choose Your Own Adventure Stories). Naturally, I wish to use this developing skill to create expansion stories.

So this Patreon is getting co-opted to document my journey as I grow my skills and expand...
