Slight buff to Mithral tier supporter

I've made a change. As of right now, Mithral supporters have the same privileges as Archons: They get to help me design scenarios for the Simulacrum. I'm making this change temporarily until we get more high tier supporters, because I would like more input from the community to help me design their scenes. Once I feel there are too many people t...

Patreon tiers have been reworked; new Simulacrum awaits

Everyone who became a patron before has kept their Pervader tier, but there is now a lower tier (Aspirant) for those who do not care for Simulacrum content and only want the main story.

Also note that the highest tier (Archon) is limited to 10 people.

The simulacrum poll shows a clear victor in Reamus and Jonah. I'll be working on ...

Simulacrum poll #1

Hey guys. Version 0.5 came with the new Simulacrum format, which I'm using to add side stories to the world of Pervader (mostly adult scenarios). In the next few days, I will restructure the Patreon page to allow higher tier supporters to suggest new stories for the Simulacrum. Right now, I need everyone at their current tier to vote on the next...

Pervader v0.5.0 (first Patreon version!)

Hey everyone, thanks for being patient once again.

This will be the first NSFW update for Pervader. The spicy content is available in a new feature of the visual novel, the "Simulacrum," which is an option you can find in the Main Menu. The main story continues to be SFW... for now.

Also, here are my plans for the next update (after ...

Small update about the next update

Gonna take a few days longer to get 0.5 ready, as I've decided to fit in something special that I've been planning for a while now. The next update will introduce a new anthology format for short and fun stories with familiar characters in the universe, the first of which will be a very NSFW encounter. I'm excited about this idea, since it allow...

So long, 2020

Short version:

Thank you all for enjoying Pervader. It's been great tool for me to express myself and I appreciate everyone listening. My shortcomings with releasing quality updates has been taking a toll on me, so I'm trying to refresh myself by working on other things in parallel. Expect 0.5 in early January, and also expect me to do mor...

Version 0.4

https://gigasaddle.itch.io/pervader/devlog/191983/version-040

Thanks for waiting. Here it is everyone! Welcome to Vale Gheryon!

Next update (0.4) tomorrow or on the 1st

Almost done! Hope you'll enjoy it.

More delays (oh no!)

Oof. From now on, I think I'm going to avoid giving estimates for updates. I wanted to do things monthly, but I'm clearly incapable of keeping the schedule. Priorities change, and other things get in the way too.

From now on, I'm going to do things this way: I'll work on the content for the update (characters, backgrounds, writing etc) and...

Expect 0.4 next week

I wanted to get 0.4 ready for August, though it ended up being more work than I realized at first, and I'm also struggling to produce them effectively. Lots of practical art issues I still need to iron out.

By the way, I've been streaming many of these drawing sessions on Discord these past couple of weeks. Though I won't been streaming an...

Alen and Jymsar's sprites need more attention

Now that a few days have passed since v0.3, I realize I'm not too happy with the state of Alen and Jymsar's sprites. Please check out this poll and share your thoughts about how I am going to spend my time improving them.

v0.3.0 - Ready!

https://gigasaddle.itch.io/pervader

Thank you all for your support! It's been a rough couple of months, and it might show in this update. Please share your thoughts after playing it, either in a comment, message or e-mail, if you'd be so kind.

Love you all. 2020-07-28 20:04:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Next version (v0.3) will be released Tuesday, 28th

This month has been a bit wild for me, but I'm happy to say that we're almost there. This build will feature new expressions for Alen and more traveling, though it is less dense than the last one.

Thanks for being patient!

When is the next version?

Hey everyone,

Initially I wanted to release v0.3 on the 5th, but that is long overdue. I just haven't been terribly creative these past few weeks and I haven't been able to write or draw well.

I hope I can get the next update ready next week, but I'm not sure.

Also, just as a reminder to my lovely supporters, pledges are only c...

Version 0.2.0 is ready!

Thank you for your support. Enjoy!

Almost there (v0.2.0)

I'll be launching v0.2.0 tomorrow, June 5th at 22:00 CEST (UTC+2, European time), or 13:00 PDT (UTC -7, West coast US time). That will also be when I charge Patreon pledges.

I remind you that the first few Pervader releases are going to be fully public releases, available to everyone whether they are supporters or not. Thank you so much to...

Tax on pledges? Patreon changes

So on July 1st Patreon will be making some updates related to pledges. Depending on your location you may be charged a sales tax. This mainly affects US supporters (between 4% and 11% tax depending on state), but there are a bunch of other countries affected as well. If you live in the EU, then you are already subject to this tax for a few years...

Discord notice

In case you didn't know, you may link your Discord account with Patreon. I'm using that system to automatically invite you all to the Discord server. I'm posting most of my wips there, so be sure to check it out.

If you can't figure it out or are having issues getting it to work, please message me your Discord ID so I can manually give you...

Discord

I've set up a Discord server. You should all be invited I think? I'm not really sure how all this works, it's very new to me. If you're not there, here's the invite: https://discord.gg/ePXHMPc

Feel free to share the invite link with your friends. Patrons currently have acc...

Map of the continent; my plan for updates

This is the physical and political map of Pellenein, the island-continent setting of the story. If you would compare it to the real world it's about the size of Greenland or one third of Australia. The most important places in the world are marked on the map. As the story progresses, the map will be updated with new relevant locations. I'll also...
