Converted and added two more interactive scenes to the game today. That should bring us up to four interactive scenes (Two are large scenes, two are smallish. Three scenes for Anna, one for Eve) I should have little trouble getting a fifth scene in place tomorrow to reach the five interactive scenes I have been promising for the next major release.
In addition to tha...
2017-10-23 18:49:11 +0000 UTC View PostSitting down to work on this for at least the first part of this week. Will be getting some interactive content into the game this week for sure. Also sent out a message to my coders to see if they can't help me start adding items to the game.
The plan right now is to have a new test build out by the end of this week. At minimum, the new build will have either...
2017-10-23 15:12:58 +0000 UTC View PostThis is an Inheritance week. I have a list of items that should not be too hard to check off over the next 2-3 days, and after that, I'll work on whatever you guys most want to see me work on!
Please take a moment to vote below for whatever you want me to invest my time into for the last half of this week, and any time I have left after finishing up this week's to-do list will be in...
2017-10-23 02:07:11 +0000 UTC View PostBeen an interesting couple of days. I had planned to do some work on Inheritance last night, but ended up burning my hand in the kitchen. Instead of actually writing, I instead started to convert one of the already written scenes into something that could be used within the game itself. Made just a little progress, but in my defense, typing one handed while the other is wrapped i...
2017-10-23 01:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostThought I would open a new poll for opinions moving into this work week.
One of the things I hope to work on this coming week is the Cheat Menu for Inheritance. Odds are, this will be a pretty basic feature at first, and I will add additional items to it as they become relevant to the game.
The initial set of Cheats will be related to Affection, Fear, and Trust, the three core...
2017-10-22 02:09:40 +0000 UTC View PostA few days ago, I mentioned my sister-in-law was having her third kid. At the time, I told all of you that any new pledges generated by this coming weekend would be used to help her out by buying her some of the things she will be needing for her new baby (Either through increases, or actual first time pledging) since she's not in a really good place financially.
As incentive, I tol...
2017-10-21 05:41:39 +0000 UTC View PostGot a new test build for all of you. Lots of new content spread across several places in the game. The changelog below should help in finding the new content.
As always, if you see something that doesn't look right, be it an obvious bug, a spelling/grammar error, or something you simply think doesn't look quite right, please report it so I can fix anything that needs fixin...
2017-10-20 16:50:22 +0000 UTC View PostBeen busy this morning. When I went to bed last night, I was debating with myself whether I should try to write 2-3 small pieces for Wanton Cove, of it I should tackle the next book entry. When I got up, I decided I felt ambitious (Especially after not accomplishing much yesterday, I wanted to get something significant done today) enough that I decided to wade into the book...
2017-10-20 16:44:44 +0000 UTC View PostHit my minimum target for content to go into the next build of Wanton Cove on Tuesday. Then knocked out the rest of the scene I was working on. That means everything done the rest of this week is icing on the cake.
Today was kind of hit and miss. Had to run into town this morning, and took the wife out for lunch. It was nice, but it DID cut i...
2017-10-20 02:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostGot an update of the sketch I shared yesterday. Wanted to share this one too!
Was very happy with how this one is turning out!
Been an incredibly productive day today (For that matter, this whole week has been ahead of the curve) and thought I'd drop in one last time today to let you all know where everything stands.
That scene for The Therapist is complete as of just a few minutes ago. A bit shy of 7k words of content in total, and quite a bit of variation depending on choices made in previous scenes i...
2017-10-18 23:40:04 +0000 UTC View PostReceived this piece and thought I'd share it with all of you. This is the sketch for the first night's dream. I've asked for a few changes (The Barmaid's Daughter should be quite a bit further away for one.) but I liked the overall feel of it.
Hope you all enjoy!
2017-10-18 17:13:59 +0000 UTC View PostFigured I would get all of you up to speed on what's going on over on my end (Holy Crap! We have 600 Patrons now! Its surreal to realize that so many people enjoy my work that much! I love you guys!)
Lets start with Wanton Cove today, then I'll move on to other news.
Wanton Cove:

2017-10-18 16:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostToday got shot to hell right out of the gate. Instead of getting to jump right into work the way I had hoped, I instead had to take care of some family related stuff until just a couple of hours ago.
That said, once things settled down I started to wade into the work I had planned.
I started by running down the repeat bug at the end of content in t...
2017-10-17 19:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostI mentioned a couple days ago that my sister-in-law was having her kid and anything I earned in during the week would go towards helping her out a bit with diapers and the such.
I also said that for every $50 that went towards that cause, I would release a piece of content that has been written for Inheritance, but has yet to appear in the game. I put $30 of my own money towards the cause,...
2017-10-17 19:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostAlmost forgot about this!
Quite some time back, I wrote a bunch of content for a game that I really enjoyed. Just when I was certain that the game had been abandoned and the content I wrote would never see the light of day, the game's creator sends me a TEST build of their game! Needless to day, there was much rejoicing and excitement.
You start the game as a m...
2017-10-16 21:31:57 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a busy morning today.
Got about five hours work into Wanton Cove today. Wrote a little under 4k words of content for the game. The scene has enough variants that I suspect you'd need to play the scene about a dozen times to see every possible piece of content in the scene. Once it was written, I got the content all coded in place and saved.
Needless...
2017-10-16 19:10:31 +0000 UTC View PostThought I'd lay out what the plans are for this week.
This week is going to start focused on Wanton Cove. I have two important scenes (Three if you count the next tome entry) that need to be written for Day 8, and if all goes well I will make it through both of them this week.
Today: Fix the bug that seems to be lingering with the night 7 sleep event. Then start wo...
2017-10-16 13:48:03 +0000 UTC View PostBeen meaning to get to this all day, but then someone had to go into labor three days early and I've been a bit preoccupied with that instead.
Enough of my problems, you guys are here for art! And art you shall receive!
Today is going to be a bit of a twofer:
As usual, I gave our artist a couple of scenes from the game when I commissioned these ...

2017-10-15 00:11:31 +0000 UTC View PostSince the Mansion Grounds came up in conversation earlier, that's been on my mind today. Its probably a month or two before I plan to add the grounds to the game, but that doesn't mean we cant start planning for it.
I posted my personal notes for the grounds below, but I wanted to see if anyone had other ideas for things they would like to see in the game. If you can think of anythin...
2017-10-14 21:17:09 +0000 UTC View PostReceived some awesome fan mail this morning that I'll share below, But first, Wanton Cove news:
-Received another batch of bug reports this morning. Got five issues to try running down, only one of which sounds very serious. Will be posting a fix for the game once I've finished.
-Got a lot going on around the home front today, so it may take me a while to work t...
2017-10-14 14:32:36 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday's build had three bugs reported for it. One of them was a very easy fix (Did some minor rewriting of the scene while I was digging around that part of the game). The other two are kind of weird ones that I'm still trying to find. Its entirely possible that they are a fluke, but I asked a couple of people to look into it for us.
At the moment, I'm waiting to hea...

2017-10-12 23:59:27 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, just want to let everyone know that there should be a new build of Wanton Cove coming out some time later today. I'm guessing between 2-6 hours from the time of this post.
Now, on to Inheritance related news.

2017-10-12 19:11:22 +0000 UTC View PostGot sample art for both Aaron and Ms Sherwood to share with you fine people this evening. These are pretty close to what the final versions will look like. They both still need just a little touch up, and they need to be framed like the previous ones, but otherwise they are on the home stretch.

With Inheritance still holding the lead in this week's poll, I started working on that this morning.
Since so much has been going on regarding the code in Inheritance this last week, I wanted to do some ground work for the content that still needs to go into the game. I did a partial conversion of the sleep content this morning (The rest of the conversion will require a bit of code), wrote...
2017-10-11 21:39:36 +0000 UTC View PostBeen an incredible few days on this front, even if I can't claim a lot of credit for it. :P
The biggest thing is something that will probably be the least noticeable to all of you. Over the last couple of days, TheMadExile has COMPLETELY rebuilt and restructured the entire game of Inheritance. All of the left over code from several coders has been cleaned up, and thi...
