We're going to finally see what it's like to be a slave in the Queen's dungeon!
Including our first Patron reward of having their likeness included in the game!
(which I know it's been a while coming, but we wanted to find the right story node to place it in, and everyone just wanted more witch arc!)
Which means we'll be introduced t...

Using the same teaser image, because I don't want to spoil the scene, but we've gotten a really intense moment with the warrior for this month's update!
There's still no VA yet, as I've been hoping that my first choice will get back to me (but it seems like no success), so in the future we're planning an update that will add lot...

It's finally time to see more Warrior content!
We've just picked up a new artist to help keep the game's production at a more consistent level, as we know that things have been slow, we're working hard to get back on track with something that will keep you excited to see each new update!
That new artist is Execute Phase!

We're trying to stick to our promise of transparency, and our updates on Patreon haven't been as frequent as we like, but our presence in discord is almost 24/7. So we're moving to a THM Patron specific discord, to help keep us in conversation, and keep you updated with the new things coming forward!
We look forward to seeing you in there!...

2023-03-27 11:16:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt feels like the witch has been receiving a bit too much focus, as the beginning of her plot line and the Queen's overlap a lot.
This month's update we're working on some content for our beloved muscle lady, Jane. We're going to see into the woods near her hut, and we're going to get to know her a bit better similar to the conversation wi...

2023-02-13 21:18:52 +0000 UTC View PostI feel like we don't post a lot of updates, and then surprise you with content at a random time of the month, so I'm going to be trying to post short updates about what parts of the game we're working on at any given time so that you can have a little bit more transparency about the development process!

Our previous release style had felt like adding new pages to a comic book, where we just tack on the next set of art and write a little bit of story, which worked well for starting out but we're at a place where it's going to get more complicated and interwoven and things will start to overlap and make less sense, and that would ruin the immersi...

We are committing to completing Shackles of Ellswyn this year, so that we can create other stories in the universe, and introduce more characters and niches.
We've got an internal roadmap with some of the ideas of how we want things to go, and we're excited to bring those things to you!

Hitting the first half complete mark of the first chapter it seems only fair that you get to see where it's at.
A lot of the structure is in place, the voice acting for Laura has been implemented, and there's some placeholder background music (make sure you play with the volume levels at the start)
As for some news for how the game i...

For now we're just implemented existing comic content, so that we catch up, and then ev...

A quick update before the exciting things that will happen at the end of this month.
Working on Black Contract took up more time than expected because we already lost half of the month to other things, so unfortunately there's no additional SoE update like we had planned.
However!
We are currently working towards getting a snea...

Minor Queen update!
Sorry it's late, it was what we had planned to have done last month, but here it is now!
We're hoping to have an update this month which will continue the Witch's storyline also!
2022-10-04 10:19:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing we should cover is that we're running a little bit late. This month has been pretty crazy for the team, and we weren't able to deliver on the extra update that we had in mind. As the game is starting to pick up steam we've been able to hire people to work on it, such as Ivy Wilde for VA, and Anonarts for backgrounds. (One of the ...

Sorry it's a little late, but we're doing another mini update later in the month to make up for it!
In this update you find yourself in Jane's cabin, and I don't know that you'll ever find the strength to leave!
And it looks like things are going to be hot and sweaty very soon!
2022-09-05 15:04:49 +0000 UTC View PostI know we've been a bit quiet lately, last month had a lot going on, including cutting our planned content slightly shorter because Cubze was overworked and needed to recover from wrist strain.
Here's our plan for September, at the minute.
Between the 8th and the 10th a new update will be released, which will be Jane focused, and wil...

Here's a first look at a place in Ellswyn we haven't seen yet. Jane's hut sits out in the forest lands outside the cities walls. Should you be taken to be her pet, this is where you'll find yourself tied up.
What do you want to see from Jane in the next update?
What could this muscly futa do to you?
