It's the "Up to date post"...

Trivial I know. But a far as I can tell that's the backlog cleared.

Thank you all for your messages of support. It really does get me in the feels :)

As an aside if you were ever curious to what I listen to when writing this beastie (and yes, the songs may have some plot clues) then I have a play list here...

It's the "I'd love to respond to your messages..." post

So! I said I'd catch up on post today but I'm just getting a circle of death on the message box for some reason.

Just to let you know I'm not ignoring any messages I'm just waiting for whatever is going on to sort itself out. I'll try again later/tomorrow.

I would have embedded it in the title but for some reason the quality of the playback goes out of the window when I do so....

These are just safe for work clips of ten of the near two hundred animations in this chapter.

It's the "I'm close but..." post

Hi, hi,

My apologies for being quiet on the patreon page front but bar popping in to discord and the forum it really has been a case of just focus, focus, focus for shipping the chapter.

The Bad News

I need some more time. Sorry. Having had to replace almost all the animation work I did back in Nov/Dec due to it not been as good as I can now do has really bit ...

The post that wasn't a post...

So it's April the first and I almost, almost, went for an April Fools post but....well, humour is a very subjective thing, no?

So instead of announcing that Becca was about to launch her own OnlyFans page (God, that was tempting....), instead I'll go for the none-jokey route and show you the final piece of the map GUI integration. The mission icon.

It's the "There's light at the end of tunnel" update...

(Also, that's a pretty decent tunnel, no? Good God if I could render at the start like I can now....)

There's been a bit more additional tweaking going on, mainly in respect to the paths themselves. Sense checks to ensure that in scene X if the player hadn't got any of the main path branches the scene would still play out smoothly enough etc etc.

There's also been a little ...

That aside, it's a big push this week to get it to the path testers* for the weekend. If push comes to shove I'll give them a version with placeholders if any of the animation files ar...

It's the "I've done the refunds" post...

Although, ofc, with this being me I managed to bollocks it up... and ended up refunding some people who'd asked not to be due to an alphabetical list that had sorted the lower case names after all the upper case names (Me: Why has my list gone from Z to a? Oh poo...) Hey ho...

If I have missed any body who feels they should have been refunded this month please do drop me a line. ...

It's the "Refund" update...

Hi all,

So I was going to issue blanket refunds today but it's fairly apparent from messages on my posts, direct messages in my mailbox, discord and the forum that more than quite a few of you think this is a rather poor idea.

You've cited the fact I'm still working on it, that you support me and not a product, that refunding now will slow me down getting the 3090 and a host of equa...

It's the "Let's talk about sex..." sneaky peek post

Sex. The good stuff. :)

I just want to share with you what I'm doing here. We have three types of lewd scenes in H5. The Chris domme module type scene which is a very hands on experience...; VR which is where I can throw POV out of the window and do the scene however I want - and then the main characters scenes which are POV.

For this latter set of scenes some of you will get your f...

It's the "20,000 renders under the C...."

"...hapter file structure if we include animation frames" update.

I know, I know. A bit weak but I couldn't resist doing at least something with 20,000 in the title? For yes, following the additional work and some animation tweaks the render count is now north of 20,000 with a current score on the door of 2,200 stills and 134 animations - only one of which is of a door op...

It's the "I think I have it sorted" update

Hi guys.

Alrighties. I've worked out the details for the gameplay fix.

One of the slight problems with H5 is, because it's all mapped out (and is jolly complex), I can't just add random bits and bobs easily.  So, for example, I can't just drop another character in to fill gameplay etc.

However, that said, I've worked out how to expand the free roam in Four with content fr...

It's the "Post play test" update...

So the good news is....Chapter Four is good. Very in places. 

But.... it's also, in some circumstances, wonky in the middle and could land with a wet thump. The problem hinges around the two missions and the free roam.

If a player does a mission and the free roam then it seems nicely balanced. The problem stems from if a player decides to do neither or both mi...

It's the "It's the 20th!" update...

Hello!

The big news for today is that a playable build has gone to the primary tester. This build excludes the big three main modules (VR, CoC and Chris domme) largely as I'm still tweaking all three of them a bit but the main game is now out for gameplay tests. (Annie's pool game, although big, is just a one off and so I don't count it as main module despite it's size)<...

It's the "Strappy top" update...

Hi, hi!

First off apologies for being a bit absent on a progress update last week. It wasn't the plan as I'll explain in a bit.

So in my last post I said how I wanted to start bringing the game together. Adding the renders made to the script etc, and by the Thursday of that week I'd wrapped up six modules which was pretty good going for just four days I thought. Since I also now had...

Let us take a moment to mourn the end of my oft used phrase "I only have one PC. " It served us well throughout it's life. We saw it grow; play in the fields; watched as it developed into a fully formed phrase and urged it on as it strived to turn into a meme - and yet now it's time is over.

For on Wednesday I get another a black box! Oh yeppity, indeedy-do! Thanks, guys. I've ne...

Hi Hi :)

Nothing earth shattering to waffle on about this time but I'm determined to avoid my old bad habits of plunging into making the  game and running silent once things get heavy, only emerging to go "Ta-da! Here it is!".

Scripty things!

Script is more or less there now. I say more or less as I'm always tweaking it all the way up to the day ...

It's the "Renders, renders, everywhere!" update...

Hi guys :)

Firstly, a warm welcome to my new Patrons. Thank you for your support and I do hope you're enjoying your time in my little world.

Progress

Progress wise I've animation frames flying off the PC at the moment with another 1,000 framer finished overnight and despatched to the testers for quality checks and views. Some of my earlier animation work I am ...

While the machine isn't hard rendering at the moment I put it to work doing an image for this. 

Let me know, if I get more free render time, if you'd like me to make more from the report.

It's the "Um. I knew I said I was going to stay silent for a bit, but...." post

I honestly don't know what to say at the moment. Utterly unexpected for a tiny dev like me.

It goes without saying that I thank all the staff at LewdPixels for voting for me but I...

Hello, and a happy New Year to you all. A lot of news to cover this morning so I'll do my best to not prattle on in my usual manner.

I won a thing!

Astoundingly, I won an award from Lewd Pixels as developer of the year. Which was a hell of a way to wra...

Happy New Year!

My best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year for all my patreons and players.

Proper update post tomorrow. :)

Concept art for McVay and Kates

It's looking like a two horse race at this point so I thought I'd play around with how the scenes would look like for the two leaders.

Thought something more Jav AVN would fit the theme for McVay :)

With 5 votes still to be cast it still could be anyones.

It's the "Logo pondering" post...

I know, I know. I said I was taking some time off. And I will.

But I was thinking about a logo of some sorts. Something simple but that would allow a bit of product recognition.

You can see a mock up above in the right hand corner. Thoughts?

Edit: Alrighties guys, taking the rest of the year away from the interwebs. I'll keep nursing the animations along but that's ...
