Hey Patrons,
I've been holding onto a minor update for a little while now, waiting for an upcoming Ren'Py engine update to bundle with it, but that seems to be taking longer than expected, so I'm going ahead and launching the thing anyway.
The biggest issue addressed is exclusiv...
2021-05-23 05:28:45 +0000 UTC View PostSo! The ending for Day 14 was submitted to the team, and the response? Well...
Good news first. I've been told a particular section is easily one of the best things I've ever written and is genuinely fantastic. Great!
The bad news? Well, there's some other parts that require some rewo...
2021-05-22 13:47:12 +0000 UTC View PostFinally wrapped Day 14 tonight. Holy cow that took a long time.
Well, I say wrapped. But I more mean that the final stretch has been released to the team for their feedback. But generally, that means it's 98% done and will hopefully only need small adjustments and fixes going forward....
2021-05-21 11:56:31 +0000 UTC View PostI keep getting worse and worse, holy shit.
It is 7:29am. I've been writing since 1:30pm yesterday. The plan was to write Day 14's ending and part of 15. I just wrapped up the scratch version for Day 14's ending. It's a full days worth of content alone and combined with the rest of Day 14, i...
2021-05-15 19:41:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, just briefly checking in.
We've completed planning for the first block of content we're going to create being the ending of Day 14 and the first third~ of Day 15. Writing for this is expected to commence tomorrow and will hopefully go nice and smoothly. Of course, now that I've s...
2021-05-13 22:30:52 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy Patrons,
So after all that hard work, we finally dropped the new build last Friday. We're sorry it took as long as it did, but hopefully you'll all agree the extra time in the oven was worth it!
So, after a much needed weekend off (speaking of finally, I fi...
2021-05-10 02:02:24 +0000 UTC View PostThanks everybody for your feedback on the Poll, we've had a fantastic response so we're closing the poll now, however there's still a lot of things to discuss.
Firstly, as started before but to clarify once again, the result of the poll has no bearing on the way things are going to pan out....
2021-05-09 22:31:08 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy everyone,
It's been a couple of days now and hopefully most of you have played through the latest update - if not, do that and come back!
Now obviously we ended this build on something of a cliffhanger. Things are going in a very strange direction, a direction which almost certa...

And who are these old-timey looking folks? And why does that Raven look so very similar to Spencer?

That is the expression of a man who was peered into the void, only for the void to wink back at him.

Phew! This one took a while, but we finally got there!
This is our new longest ever update, weighing in at a mighty 4200 lines with 72000 words. Yeah, 72000 words. This singular update is m...
2021-05-07 10:58:39 +0000 UTC View PostI just pushed Day 14 out to the team. It's very nearly wrapped up! CurryCatz is sending through the last of the artwork pieces, and the last of the bits and bobs are all coming together. Hoping to be able to release tomorrow night if at all possible. Thanks for your patience guys!
2021-05-06 10:47:21 +0000 UTC View PostWork continues on Day 14. There's still a lot to do yet, but both yesterday and today were days where life limited the amount of time I could spend working on it, but with those obligations now out of the way, I'm free to go all in on this thing and hopefully knock it out in the next couple of da...

The May Public Build is now live over on Itch: Sileo: Tales of a New Dawn by Xevvy (itch.io)
This build contains a few additions compared to the one you guys got last month, including the fully animate...
2021-05-02 04:32:31 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing as the May build will be arriving a few days late, the very least I could do is keep you all in the loop as to how it's coming along, right?
So, the scratch version of Day 14 is now complete. Tomorrow I'll be forking out the Public build and dropping that, but once that is done, it'...
Howdy everyone.
As mentioned in Progress Report, there was a possibility that the May Patreon Build was going to be delayed slightly as we hadn't quite finished up with everything. Unfortunately that has come to pass, and so I'm letting you guys know it almost certainly won't be out tomorro...

2021-04-27 10:31:20 +0000 UTC View PostWell, then...
I had hoped to start on Day 14 in the weekend just gone, however that didn't end up happening. You see, Day 14 is something of an in-between day. I can't really go more into detail about this due to spoilers, but you'll see what I mean when you play the next build! Basically, ...
2021-04-27 07:29:08 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Day 13 is now semi-finalized. Adjustments will be made where required to better accommodate artwork, but we've decided to keep the day mostly as written and take a chance in terms of doing things a little differently. This will manifest itself in separating you, the player, from the protagoni...
2021-04-24 01:41:43 +0000 UTC View PostSo the last 2 nights, I opted to relax and recover a bit, rather than work myself into an early grave like I usually do. But tonight, CurryCatz needed some help with video formats and compression... what for, you ask? Well, he's animated the pieces Tai's Day 11 Sex Scene. And yes, we figured it o...
2021-04-21 10:51:53 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday marked an important milestone in the development of Sileo, being the one year anniversary of the day development began! Back then, CurryCatz and I got together with a mutual interest in making a visual novel. It's something we were both passionate about, doing it for the love of it. We ...
2021-04-19 06:10:27 +0000 UTC View PostI dun dun diddly done it again, y'all!
So I finished the scratch version of Day 13 yesterday and sat down today to finish the version I would send off to the team. It started off well, making good progress. I reached about 40%, and took a short break. Even sent a message to the team, which...
Day 13's 'Scratch' version is now complete with further refinements and improvements intended to take place in the coming days and/or the following weekend, depending on how things go. Currently, it's just shy of 19k words, making it considerably longer than average, but shorter than recent days ...

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally time to introduce a new character!
First shown towards the end of Day 12, Glenn was the bassist and frontman from Tai and Lukas' former band "The Black Claws". Unfortunately, things did not end on a positive note, and Glenn is not the forgiving...
2021-04-13 01:26:29 +0000 UTC View PostSo, today I learned that not only does Patreon limit zip attachments to 200MB, the very reason recent Sileo builds have been hosted on Mega, but you can't embed a video unless you host it on another service! It's amazing how much money Patreon makes off of us while still pinching pennies on bandw...
2021-04-13 01:21:11 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy y'all!
So last weekend, I sat down and wrote the first pass ending for day 12 with the intention of finishing it during the week and then writing day 13 this weekend. Suffice it to say, my fortune was as it usually is and that did not happen. Early in the week was due to life be...
