Leaving Patreon for better horizons!

I've permanently disabled payments, and deleted all patreon tiers.

My discord bot that gives exclusive access to channels broke for the last time. AGH. Maybe this is a lot of my own fault for designing a verification system out of a house of cards. Though over the years I've gained some opinions of Patreon.

Patreon's payment model is...

Paused billing for this month.

There's a number of users who upgraded to dragon/kobold membership in order to get their hands on a key, but unfortunately I've already handed them out!

Patreon makes it very hard for me to be transparent as it requires me to hide adult content behind membership, I've made a mistake by making it seem like you could upgrade to get access. View Post

Churn Vector Beta access for Kobold and Dragon tier!

Churn Vector Beta access for Kobold and Dragon tier!

I just finished sending out keys to the emails associated with Kobold and Dragon tier patrons. 

I might have made a mistake, by sending duplicate keys, using an out-of-date list of members, or messing up the mass-emailer.

DO NOT try upgrading your tier after seeing this post to get a key, as they've already been...

CV City sneak peek

CV City sneak peek

Been a while since I've been able to sit down and update all my social media. Thank you all for being so patient with me! Here's a sneak peek at the game Archival, Eugene, and I have been working on.

It's a game like Hitman, but instead of eliminating targets, you CV them.

Will have more to show soon.

GameJam: RockHardCafe (Patreon Release)

GameJam: RockHardCafe (Patreon Release)

I've been seeing my friends make really cool gift art to each other, and it inspired me to make a quick game jam involving my friends!

RockHardCafe is an experimental sex game with advance penetration physics, where you control a cast of unique characters to fuck the cute red dragon boy, Benneq!

Did a refactor of the penetration interactions.

I know this doesn't push the game forward, but as an open-source tool I'm hoping that it also helps other developers!

First of all is the knot force refactor. It now uses a Euler integrated physics solution which makes it very smooth, stretchy, and a little bouncy.

Update 300_E0F82A1

Been a long while since an update has hit the public branch.

KoboldKare has been a project that has been in constant turmoil as I learn more and more about game development.

I realized at some point that I was using my technical ability as a crutch to avoid doing art.

Instead of just spending an hour or two making some fun c...

Penetration Tech

I'm finally kicking things into gear again, I've got some big changes in the works that make me more comfortable and excited to work on the project again. Meanwhile me and Raliv have worked on a new iteration of the penetration tech found in KoboldKare, and I'm going to dump a big writeup I did on it! If you want to see an article without massiv...

Mawful alpha access!

I'm finally fully recovered from Covid (gosh that was months of coughing), and I've got lots of stuff to talk about the current state of things.

I realized that I absolutely do not have the resources to keep Firgof fully employed, and we don't have a producer to keep us on track. Unfortunately this means letting Firgof go, and things are g...

Sorry for the delays, and lack of communication, I took a two week break to visit family and friends.

This took a long longer than I expected, though this is the first build that has zero paid assets in it!
