Hello esteemed patrons and readers of Tango Fiction!
I went overboard again but it’s time for a release! I won’t get into the details of the past few days but let’s just say I am going to go to bed right after I post this :P
It has been two years since I publicly released the first version of Transfigure. That’s pretty ...
2020-02-25 01:34:56 +0000 UTC View PostA: I’m a single male in my early thirties. I am fairly tall, measuring in at a whopping 12 centimeters. I’ve got a pretty long nose which is a tad beak-like. Lately I have slimmed down a bit to around 4 grams.
I like colorful clothing, pretty women, and flowers. Sometimes I dip my nose in ink to write in cursive.
My brain is a bi...
2020-02-21 05:30:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello valued patrons of Tango Fiction!
I have been zooming around the past few days trying to get the next update in order when I clued in to the fact it is already the 10th 'o.o
So with the 2nd Transfigure anniversary coming up in only 12 more days, I am tempted to just mash everything together and keep working and adding stor...
2020-02-11 01:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks.
Just thought I’d do an end of the month status now that I had a couple more days of solid writing.
The hummingbird spirit has been intense the past three months or so but I now scroll through my notes and see large blocks of nice full paragraphs. It is pretty clear I’ve built up a big story inventory… that just...
2020-02-01 01:35:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey TFers!
The next update is coming along. The Corps poll has Yellow Potion / Craig leading so I headed in that general direction starting with the Damien path. I have already added and tested about 2500 words on the yellow potion route so I’m at least that level of done.
I am also going to spend a bit of time editing and adjustin...
2020-01-27 04:07:23 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like I made a couple minor errors at the last minute. This includes 3 picture fixes and about a dozen typo fixes. (not required) I do a pretty thorough playtest before launching but this update had a lot of minor code changes so I missed a few during the test (and I was already a bit tardy)
Thanks Poopoopuh and SLV for pointing some ...
2020-01-17 06:29:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
The new update is out! Yay! The birds had to examine every flower in the field, :P
I’m sorry this one took so long and I was quiet there. I got into the frequent loop of “I’m almost there! Why update status when I can complete this first?” x 10. Even today I was like “2 more hours!!” … 10 hours...
2020-01-14 11:38:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends!
Sorry to disappoint again but I worked nearly every day on Transfigure the past week, even sacrificing a bit of family stuff… and I still haven’t finished what I wanted to. And another day is gone and it’s New Years so time to put down the pen for a bit and have some fun.
Happy New Years everybody!!
Hope you h...
2020-01-01 05:49:28 +0000 UTC View PostHo-ho-hello!
I’d like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy holidays!
This month I have been working on a Christmas special but, as it’s the holidays, things creep up so I’m only part done what I wanted to include and still have a few open development threads. So the “Christmas” special is now a “N...
2019-12-25 06:30:50 +0000 UTC View Post.92 is now public and the next update is one the way. (Head on over to tfgs if you're interested!)
So far not much to report, since I haven't really "finished" anything, just standard hummingbird random bits here and there. However I have completed a small section of the Taylor vs Trans Corp (with Sam) story so that will appear. Drew...

What's that sound? It's a bird! It's a plane! Oh it's actually a bird...
.9280085 is here! Let’s praise the hummingbird for finally allowing me to release this update :P
I still didn’t finish everything I wanted (I never do :*( )but I am fairly happy with how this update turned out which is rare for a p...
2019-12-05 08:32:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey TFers!
Another month almost gone by… It feels like time is accelerating the older I get :\
Development continues. It was a bit random the past week - I ended up writing for a bunch of unrelated to Transfigure projects for a few days. I've got too many ideas and if they don't flow somewhere my head may actually explode! 2019-11-26 03:43:41 +0000 UTC View Post
I have been asked about Transfigure transitioning to a Beta version and what some of the differences will be vs its current iteration.
To me an Alpha is a functional demo. That's where we are now. I've shown off previews of most of the characters and themes. Now it's time to get to the meat!
Eventually, when all of the design...
2019-11-17 05:25:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Little status update here.
I took a couple days off following the last release and played some video games. That was nice!
On the plate this month, we have Evan. I wrote a big outline for the romantic route last year during my September break which should finally get released (just goes to show how long of a lead ...
2019-11-13 00:26:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey Tango Fictioneers!
I am launching an expanded commission section for the site with new rules for directors that should be much more informative.
Currently I have a single director slot able to dictate a path that gets a monthly update (often with included suggestions/themes). I think the director slot has been one of my better id...
2019-11-06 12:43:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey Tango Friends!
I wrote about a possible bug in the last post but rather than post a complicated explanation I might as well just fix it :)
This html fixes the portrait bug and makes the ending tracker/menu transition work properly as far as I can tell. (If anyone notices something weird or has any suggestions let me know).

Hey everyone!!
Tango returns… Better late than never :*(
I have some good news, some really good news, and some great news to report. The good news is the next update is finally done. Yay! The really good news (that I already leaked) is that my code tests finally turned out well (usually they end up being...
2019-11-04 02:51:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe latest version is now public, so check out TFGS if you want to read the new stories!
P.S. The next update is about 75% complete.
2019-10-18 21:03:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
I have been meaning to do a status update. I just don’t like reporting hollow “all is well” messages without some progress to report. I continue to write a bit everyday. Things are moving along. I have been off on a few timelines lately so I am trying to get the next update to a stage where it's mostly done and I can accur...

Amazingly, the ending tracker now works mostly as intended! Praise the hummingbird!
Did you know Transfigure already has nine complete endings? The game will have over a hundred endings eventually and this handy feature will allow you to keep track of them all!
Thanks to all my patrons that allow me the time to ...
2019-10-12 07:22:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I will post a status update in a couple days. In the meantime... I had a question on my mind lately after looking through some of my notes.
Hypothetically speaking, would you read a Tango Fiction novel?

Hello everyone!!
Wow, it has been a long few days but I finally finished the next update. I am trying not to make the late releases a habit. I expect production to pick up over the next month or so. I have a large portion of the next update already well advanced because I’ve written a lot of stuff in parallel that’s finally near the po...
2019-10-05 02:40:38 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick heads up. I was having some connection issues the past couple days. I kept working but since I usually write on Google Docs (online only) it prevented uploads and searches and meant some awkward shuffling of puzzle pieces when I got my internet back this afternoon.
I just have some editing and media selection to do plus ...
2019-10-01 21:31:34 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
I’ve been quiet lately so here’s a quick status note. An update is nearing completion but I did get slowed down a bit. I just finished redoing some minor work. Even though I am down a few hours, I feel Transfigure has received a big upgrade from an organizational and production standpoint. A reader named Teel did the impossible....
2019-09-26 01:27:17 +0000 UTC View PostA:I think many people naturally desire things that they cannot have. The grass is always greener on the other side of the river. This almost innate craving exists in a large percentage of people. In my opinion, this attitude is tied to the reasons why opposites seem to attract in many relationships. A person that is submissive usually desires so...

2019-09-14 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostA: Yes. The game’s primary theme is one of transformation, but, the other main idea that is perhaps a bit more difficult to elucidate is about the radical power that seemingly insignificant decisions have to drastically change a person’s life. Taylor’s life and the ending attained in Transfigure is the product of not just his decisio...
2019-09-13 16:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostA: ‘O.o All of Transfigure’s stories are “real,” even the ones that are obviously untrue!
But, in all seriousness, Transfigure is a work of fiction. While it does take inspiration from the world and of course the person writing it rubs but, I think that is a ubiquitous trait with fiction.
There are a few scenes that are...

Praise be to the hummingbird! May his rapid movement, perpetual ADD, and poor penmanship lead us to greatness!
Let me know what you think!
