the new hive

well, i'm not sure how substantive it's going to be but i am working on some new content for 'the new hive'. it will contain, at minimum, a few bugfixes i wrote ages ago and never published (whoops) and also a tf editor / sex scene selector for any scene you've unlocked.

tbh i was recently looking at the new hive + the werewolf game + hell...

so, game development

i've kinda been picking at bits and pieces of what might become 'hell game 2' for probably several years now, not with a lot of intentional focus, and several things have come together. this is essentially a complete recode, and there are a few considerations, development-wise, why that is.

a big part of it is that the original hell game c...

Discord

so i generally haven't set up forums or anything like that since uhhh i really do not want to have to administrate anything, but i've been hanging around on a gay gamedev discord for a while and i finally decided to ask for a dedicated channel there, so if a discord with me and a bunch of other gay game devs sounds interesting check it out

fanfic prompts

i'm doing that fanfic prompts thing again! we'll see how it goes; i'm trying to just get a bunch of stuff written without thinking a lot about editing, that whole thing. 

(but also i'm just about to go to sleep as i post this so don't expect any fills for at least the next 12 hours)

stuff i'm working on now

hello there patreon. it's been a while! happy thanksgiving if you celebrate it or hope you have a good day otherwise

i was super burnt out on everything for a while and it's only fairly recently that i've started working on porn game project stuff again. i've been making some progress on the 1.1 patch of the new hive, which at this point i...

okay, so recently i posted a thing over on itch.io about the 1.1 progress for 'the new hive', which included the latest draft that i posted here, the werewolf game draft, and also a third thing i can't really mention on patreon (:V).

patreon changes

so i finally did the patreon changeup i mentioned uhhh several months ago now. one tier that gets access to everything on the occasion that i post stuff.

so, moving

it's moving across the country day for me. i'm gonna be basically entirely out of contact for the next several days, and pretty sporadically checking online for the next, uh, few weeks after that (also under quarantine), so don't expect a response any time soon.

that being said, if all goes well i'm hoping to actually get some work done du...

patreon changes

so, i'm moving across the country next month and that's giving me a chance to reassess some stuff.

a month or two ago i actually did the math and wrote out how much all this gamedev stuff + writing was 'worth' if i gave myself a moderate professional rate, and it was pretty disheartening looking between the, like, oh okay 'the new hive' is...

august werewolf game draft public release + hell game is open source now i guess

  • added versioning, changelog, and about
  • added walkthrough
  • added dialog labels for dialog
  • zones: lower virigost, along with a lodging room
  • revised the endgame of the beast-masked h...

werewolf game public release + gamedev notes

this is the public release of last month's game demo! this is basically a tech demo for the most basic game mechanics + infrastructure, with one 'case' being completeable.

this month's work (that is to say, the stuff in the private subscriber-only release) was mostly a lot of infrastructure stuff-- savegames, additional changes t...

a few notes

1. i went through and tagged the tiers with their relevant rewards, so apparently depending on patreon's new sales tax thing you might see a change in the prices of those based on where you live. this will apparently go live on june 1st.

2. i'm in minneapolis and lost power yesterday due to the local transformer being very close to the 3rd...

werewolf twine game public demo #1

it's the public version of the new twine game! there's not a lot of content; this is still basically an 'engine demo' at this point.

at this point there would normally be a new $7 version too (and also a $1 poll) but all that got pushed back due to global pandemic

so, COVID-19

hey so it's been an eventful month, huh.

i was working on some other stuff for the first half the this month and was planning on catching up in the latter half, which, it turns out really got derailed by world events, so i haven't really gotten a lot done this month. sometimes it's a little difficult to really get invested in working on go...

patreon update

So, the twine game has a release candidate version out. I'm collecting a big list of fixes, as well as handling the final bits of writing and editing needed; after that's all done I'll be posting it to itch.io. It's basically done! Finally!

So now's the time to post some stuff about the future of this patreon.

Suspending the patreon for this month, again.

That being said, I've gotten some writing done this month and it looks like I'll get an actually decent amount done next month, so expect charging to resume October 1st, with a demo/release post at the end of September.

suspending the patreon again

still haven't gotten a lot of work done on the twine game this month. tbh i'm considering suspending the patreon monthly until the twine game is done and then maybe just shutting it down entirely; who knows. we'll see if that decision changes after i finally finish this and get to take a break from thinking about it at all V:

It's April! The patreon is back to charging!

I'm not sure if I should keep with the weekly update posts or if I should switch to biweekly posts. I'm gonna have to rearrange the patreon profile itself at some point. Probably not change the tiers or goals, since I don't really have any better ideas of what to change them to.

Regardless...

and we're back

First things first: pledges will resume charging on April 1st. I'm putting hell game on hiatus for the indefinite future, and I'll be focusing on finishing this twine game and working on other twine games after that, so if that's not what you want to see you've got a month to unsubscribe.
