Sorry about the quiet the last couple of days. Been busy with a lot of stuff. Some real life, but mostly with Wanton Cove and Inheritance.
Sunday: I got the final details of what I want to accomplish over the next two Wanton Cove work weeks worked out. The two repeatable scenes and one new ending somehow became six new repeatable scenes and one new ending.

2018-11-15 02:49:39 +0000 UTC View PostGot a fix build for all of you fine people. This should resolve the bug that was breaking old saves, fixes an issue where Mitsuko was appearing in the library before you actually met her, and a host of smaller issues.
There is a html file attached to the bottom of this post, you should be able to simply replace your current html file with this one in your game folder.

2018-11-14 02:55:06 +0000 UTC View PostGot an updated version of the Gaia image I shared with you all a couple of weeks ago. It's coming along very nicely. I'll hopefully have a finished version to share soon!
Just a little history about the piece: The artist has actually had to do this one twice now. She did a sketch that I shared a few weeks ago, then her computer died and she lost everything. &nb...
2018-11-14 02:41:48 +0000 UTC View PostYou guys know, it's ok to send me a message asking "You said we'd have a new build this weekend, where is it?" right?
With that said, I dropped the ball last night. I had planned to release the latest TEST build of Inheritance yesterday and, . . . . I completely forgot. No one to blame here except myself. Sorry.
Apologies out of th...
2018-11-13 00:36:51 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a busy couple of days. Was actually planning to post yesterday, but I didn't want to spam everyone with extra messages since I was rolling out the latest Wanton Cove build.
Thursday:
Thursday is one of those days that started out great, then I got a bug report that completely threw me for a loop. I spent about four hours that night trying to find the mista...

Those of you who have been with us for a while know what to do already, but I'll take a moment to explain things for the rest of you.
What we do each week is we take a vote on what I will be focusing the bulk of my attention on the following week. At the end of each week, I take the top item and that becomes my new work item. All other votes are carried ...
2018-11-09 04:24:13 +0000 UTC View PostToday was one of those days where I didn't get everything I set out to do completed, but at the same time I got as much work done as I had hoped to. Loose translation: I wrote, coded, and added a fairly large scene that turned out to be much more complex than I had originally expected, and more complex content usually means more replayability. Just one of those scenes that took o...
2018-11-09 04:16:17 +0000 UTC View PostOnly worked about half a day today, but even so I'm really happy with progress. (I'll make up for it tomorrow. Promise.)
Heard back from the coder who is helping set up the random event within a random event thing I mentioned before. They pointed out one last little thing I was doing wrong, then with that corrected I got it all plugged into the game. Still need to test it...
2018-11-08 04:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a fun couple of days!
Yesterday, I finished up the majority of the "karaoke machine" content for the game. Got content for that that ranges from heartwarming, to silly, to heartbreaking. It's been quite a rollercoaster of themes that has been a joy to explore. We'll be adding a lot more in the future. Still got a few details to iron out in the code, but it...
2018-11-06 20:33:31 +0000 UTC View PostSince the sponsored content is coming along quicker this week than I had expected, it beings me to wonder what I will work on next.
I currently write for three characters related to the mansion (Mitsuko, Rey, Maki, and Bubbles all belong to other authors.), so I would like to stay focused on those for the time being. Do any of you have a specific character you'd like to see more con...
2018-11-05 01:51:34 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a very productive day today. Instead of starting in on written content this morning like I had originally intended, I instead jumped right into coding.
What all did I accomplish?
-I wrote the code for all of the mini scenes I mentioned yesterday. Then I added all of those scenes to that code. I will actually need one of these for every character in the game wh...

I have this one I'm posting today, and I've actually been talking with another creator that I'll likely be introducing all of you to in the coming days as well.

2018-11-04 16:34:39 +0000 UTC View PostHad a bug reported a little while ago related to Gaia's apple content. It was a quick and easy fix that was hanging up a lot of content so I figured it was worth posting a new build even though I'll be releasing another test in about a week. After all, got to let you guys know I appreciate you somehow. ;)
Literally, the only change in this build compared to the last is a s...
It looks like Inheritance has a solid lead in the poll this weekend, and as such I actually found a bit of time to work on it today.
Our sponsor level Patron has requested that I add Karaoke to the game. Since this is something I was planning to set up in some of the local bars anyway, I figured this was a really good excuse to set up a smaller version of the function for in the man...
2018-11-04 02:22:11 +0000 UTC View PostFirst part of this last week was really productive. I managed to crank out a pretty good number of new scenes for The Therapist during the first half of the week, then was a little sick the last half of the week and took things easy for a couple of days. Overall it was a good week, but not a great week for progress.
With that said, we've reached the end of another week, and as such i...
2018-11-03 02:09:29 +0000 UTC View PostGot a quick fix for all of you. Should be able to simply replace your current html with the new one.
I haven't had time to fully test this yet, but with a quick play it seems to work. This should fix Gaia's content so it will appear properly during play.
Enjoy!

I have two treats for all of you this Halloween. I'll be posting the first now, and the other a little later today. This is the little one.
There's a little story to go along with this one. A few months ago, an author wrote a scene for Inheritance that was just a wee bit over the top. It involved you and Anna being at the shed on the grounds, her seein...

2018-10-31 03:57:43 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday was a good day for work, today, . . . . not so much.
I started out the day yesterday with a set of 14 scenes planned for the week. 12 of those were small, two were a bit larger. All of this related to The Therapist. Managed to carve my way through 10 of the smaller scenes and one of the two bigger ones yesterday, so that was an incredibly productive day.

2018-10-31 01:20:11 +0000 UTC View PostGoing to start by mentioning that I haven't had a chance to update all of the code related to Rey, so there's a good chance that's going to be buggy.
Other than that, there's now a computer in the study which has should have some fun content to explore. Also, some content for Gaia is finally making it into the game.
Hope you all enjoy. &n...
2018-10-29 03:48:34 +0000 UTC View PostHad a bit of a lazy day today. Only worked about two hours today, and that was to plug all of this last week's content into the game (New test build will be out soon. Most likely later this evening.)
Tomorrow begins a new work week. It looks like The Therapist is this week's focus. I've sent out a message asking what they would like me to focus on and will be planning to ...

2018-10-27 01:28:51 +0000 UTC View PostSpent a good part of today working on Gaia content and prepping some code for Inheritance today. I'd have liked to get more done, but some family related stuff came up which cut into my time a bit. Even so, it's been a fairly good week so far.

I think the first thing to mention is that we've got some forward momentum on the Inventory/items content again. I've been talking with a very talented coder the last couple of days about the inventory system and they've expressed a willingness to help out. We're sharing information and notes right now...
