Hello again, sweet patrons! It's past the middle of the month, and here is a quick news update.
First, I've been working on expansion and re-balancing of certain mechanics for the next update, mainly focusing on Arousal and parasites. In addition, we're currently adding to the story beyond the intro and fleshing out the characters of Mikah...

The artwork drive has been updated for Black+ tier patrons, which now includes the new environments both in color and in black and white.
Steam had an issue where the Play Now button was not locating the .exe. Maya also had an issue where she may appear outside of the boundaries of her display window. Fear not, sweet patro...

I was planning to release a small update this weekend, but I think I'll wait until next weekend and pack some more content into it.
I'm in the middle of giving the game a huge facelift by replacing stock photos, improving the interface, and adding some requested features. Ideally, the next time you open the game, you will hardly recogniz...
The Windows x64 file has been fixed and is now live on itch! 0.70 is also now the latest version on Steam.
I'm currently working on replacing the stock images in the game, fleshing out the first cluster of characters and story, and improving the game's interface.
In other news, I have been working to produce other types o...

Patreon essentially recommends I just be real with you guys regarding this issue.
First, let me just say that I'm no stranger to pirating. I have a low-income background, I couldn't (and still can't) always afford to shell out dozens and dozens of $$$ for entertainment. If AAA game companies or billion-dollar enterprises bleed a few bucks,...

I'm currently doing bug testing for 0.70, and planning to release this weekend (as long as I don't run into anything major)! It again rivals the size of the most recent updates, and features a ton of bug fixes.
Here, we have a depiction of the game's first Diminished (level 2) character! May he be horrific...

7 pieces of Tom artwork are now up on the Drive for Black+ tiers, with more soon to come! Since we are now up to 2 characters a month, I will be using the runner-up from the last poll as the second character to get artwork for September, making these two characters the librarian, Ms. Lane, and the archaeology professor, Dr. Howard.

I feel like Tom's art is coming along better than I anticipated!
This new update is coming along well. I came up with what I thought was a rather simple idea to increase NPC arousal, and then once I began implementing it it kind of spiraled into this whole other thing and what should have been a 1-day task has turned into 3 days of tediou...
Holy hell, there has been a huge influx of people today! I don't know where you all came from but I must say, I am in awe. It feels like my hard work is paying off and this is all very rejuvenating. Not that I was having issues before, but now I clearly feel like I can easily continue to spend just about every waking moment of my life working on...

0.69 is rather close, and rivals the size of the last update! I don't want to say too much, but some notable changes are new music, new mechanics, locations, and more story! I am going to release it as soon as I can locate and squash more new bugs that have risen.
I'll also be putting up another poll for the next character options fo...

2022-07-28 22:48:09 +0000 UTC View PostI was expecting to be able to release 0.68 this past weekend, but I'm still waiting on the last Huong piece to be finished. I'm wondering if maybe there was a miscommunication of some sort with the artist so I'm trying to reach out and see what's going on. I feel like on the outside it is starting to look like I'm just stringing...

While continuing to wrap up this latest build (artwork still not quite finished, but here is a preview), I have also revamped the Black, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Patreon tiers. Plus, I've added a new Fastpass tier for anyone looking to add their own custom NPC to the game (with all artwork and ...
2022-07-23 22:41:22 +0000 UTC View PostI am still expecting the last of Huong's artwork any day now. This post is not about that, though.
I was let go from my day job a few days ago. It sucks, but I do not expect it to negatively affect the game development at all. In fact, in these past few days, I have had the free time to add so many changes to the game that this next ...
2022-07-17 15:12:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe next patch is just about ready, the artwork has progressed rather quickly so I figured I will just wait until these last two gangbang pieces are done to release it, which should be any day now. That makes it full artwork for both Dr. Lydia Sterling and Huong this time. There will also be some minor quality-of-life updates, more lines of text...
2022-07-13 03:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostWith the next release right around the corner, I am looking to reassess some of the higher tiers. Are there any suggestions for rewards that any of you existing patrons or lurkers would like to see?

Hello again, everyone!
Lately I've been mostly focused on artwork, as right now the most common feedback is that the game needs more of it.
Huong is coming along quite nicely! The next update will have her bust and paperdoll, maybe even some of the sex scenes depending on how fast we can finish cranking these out.
If this ba...

I have made several story updates and and fixed a few bugs. The Mikah gangbang artwork is finished! The sex scene artwork for Maya is also close to completion, as well as the writing for Ying and Dr. Jackson's sex scenes. As soon as all that is complete, I will release it in the next patch.
