Hey friends, hope everyone's having a great week!
I thought the girls deserved a nice day at the beach, and we deserved to see it!
I'm making terrific progress on the writing for FiN Chapter Three. All I've got left to do is the last act, which comprises a short (for my long-winded ass..) conversation and a potential sex sce...

Hey, friends! Hope everyone's week is off to a nice start!
I'm making really good progress on FiN Chapter Three, though I'm not as far ahead as I'd like to be. So far I've added 1800 lines of code, completing the entire first act of Chapter One, as well as a big conversation in the middle part of the game. Now I just need to write a bridge...

Chapter Three will allow you to pick a 'naughty' or 'nice' option, but I wanted to turn to you fine folks to help me narrow down the final choices.

Hey friends, hope everyone's doing well this week!
This was a big weekend for the Patreon, with lots of new patrons joining us. Super happy to have all you folks here for the ride, and I'm glad that Chapter Two resonated enough that you were encouraged to support it with your hard-earned dollars. Times are tight for the entire global econo...

Hope everyone's having a nice week. We have a few new patrons who joined up with the $2 tier this week, so I'm going to drop a small set of steamy renders on Wednesday. Just my little way of saying thanks!

Hey friends, just wanted to let everyone know that Chapter Two should be available later today, or tomorrow morning. I've finished everything I can, and now I'm just waiting on my PC to produce the final art so that it can be plugged in where it needs to be. Unfortunately, this is one of those things where it just takes how long it takes, and th...

Hey, friends!
Alright, so - remember how I last week I was struggling with some subpar renders and background transparency issues? Well, I resolved that - but, doing so meant re-rendering two entire scenes. Which meant redoing roughly 85 renders.
On top of that, I wasn't happy with the sets I'd chosen for the two scenes, so I decided...

Hey there, friends! This'll be a brief update today.
I mentioned that I'm redoing some of the renders I'd already finished, and above you can see an example of the before/after. Basically, I'm trying to add a real sense of life and place to the scenes, through better lighting and color. I'll move as quickly as I can to finish these, and ge...

Hey, friends! We're fast coming up on the release date, so I wanted to share a few more images than I usually do.
Phew, what a week! I've been crunching away on Chapter Two, and at this point I have over 500 story images for the new update - and I wouldn't be surprised if it grew by another 150. I finished all my story edits, with the exce...

Man, time flies!
We're quickly coming up on my ideal release date of 5/28 (for $5 patrons), and I'm rendering as fast as I can to get the chapter done in time. Currently, I have 322 completed renders for the next installment, and I still need to render two sex scenes, and finish a couple of dialogue-heavy scenes. I'm working my way t...

Hope everyone's having a nice week! I'm going to try to do these little art drops on a biweekly basis, in thanks for your patronage, and to try out new props and assets that I've purchased.
Until next time, take care!
Hey, friends!
Work on the next update is proceeding well. I've honestly lost track of the total number of renders I've completed, but I should land somewhere well north of 400.
I decided to do a little rewriting for Chapter Two, reworking the opening to spotlight a character that was otherwise going to be kind of a one-off. But, I re...

A lot of new people joined the Patreon this week, so I wanted to put together a little welcome basket for everyone. But, my welcome basket comes with copious nudity!

Here's a spicy little teaser for Chapter Two. I'm trying not to spoil too much of the sexy content, but I want you, my much-loved patrons, to get a little something special for your support.
Have a good one!

Hey, hey - it's that time of week!
Work on Chapter 2 is going well. I've already completed 150+ renders, which comprises the first three scenes of the chapter. This chapter will also see the introduction of three new characters, and I think people will really enjoy them.
I believe I'm on pace to have Chapter 2 ready by mid-May, but I...

I usually do these dev updates on Mondays, but I held off for one very important reason - my new PC finally arrived today! Now I can actually start rendering Chapter Two, and good lord am I ready.

Summer's nearly here, so it only felt right to send Gabby to the beach.
Not much to report this week - I'm still waiting on the new computer I'll be using for rendering, so I'm just picking away at the script and code for future chapters. When I'm not doing that, I'm testing Daz Studio on my old PC, seeing what I can get out of it, while f...

I'm still waiting on my new computer, but work continues in the meantime! After listening to some feedback from players, I decided to add an extra path to the first chapter of the game. This will allow the player to engage in a little light financial domination, while still ultimately obtaining a favorable ending with N...

Well, I quickly found myself feeling stymied by my poor old PC's performance, so I decided to splurge on a new computer, well ahead of schedule.
This will allow me to produce the kind of art I really want to, and at dramatically quicker speeds. And it'll incentivize me to create new rewards, like special renders for patrons. In th...

I've been really heartened by the strong response to Friends in Need, so I've been throwing myself into rendering with enthusiasm.
