Okay, finally. We've got the first peak at the big Olivia update. If you want to interact directly with this new content, get Olivia's attention while she's in playful mood, otherwise it's a random chance. You can cheat her mood to be playful by using debug command.
Changelog
Tweaks to fade effects
Tweaks and improvements to intro (A few extra images of Rene, new Megan renders, Tom's cardboard box has a unique render, etc.)

2025-04-10 16:55:25 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to the seventh gallery poll, which also is sort of becoming my unofficial weekly quick update. I posted a few comments about this on discord, but the latest dev-build is delayed. I've run into some snags, but expect to still deliver on a dev-build by the end of the week. So, only a minor delay. Still, I apologize.
As for the gallery poll, let's move right along. I'm kind of not surprised Teresa won, to be completely honest. It does make me think I should prioritize her appearan...
A new gallery has been posted for Nemara on the discord. Yes, I unilaterally decided to make her gallery without a vote. This is not a democracy. 😤
Anyway, time for some democracy.
Now that all the major characters that are in the game have had galleries done of them, I'm moving on to characters slated to be in the game. I am including Iris in this category because she, frankly, doesn't have much character even though she is technically in the game.
I will be returning...
Hey, all! I'm gonna keep this one short and sweet, I just wanted to update everyone on the progress being made on alpha 2.0. A lot of patrons already know most of these details.
I have completely reworked a ton of mechanics from character stats, team building, equipment, battles, and many more things. I've also removed the weight system and grinding for experience. The game now focuses more on exploration, resource-gathering, and puzzle solving.
As for giant encounters, turn-base...
Hey! So, it's the end of February and we have some things to talk about. Number one, I had a severe case of the flu over the last week which really hampered progress as well as took me out of my IRL job for a couple days. I had a fever that literally kept me from thinking straight for several days so I couldn't even spend my days off doing anything that required more thought than drinking bone broth and binge-watching tv.
Still, I managed to get most of the reported bugs addressed. I k...
Just three remaining. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do after this. Running a poll with two options seems odd, but, we'll see.
You know the rules.
There aren't really any rules.
There are only a few ladies left. Poll ends in two days.
2025-02-20 21:20:57 +0000 UTC View PostThis dev build is heavily focused on fixing bugs related to Gwen's events caused by all the recent changes. I also spent a good amount of time improving and adding to her scenes. There are quite a few little tweaks and changes as well as new images and scenes.
Fixed a bug causing Gwen's intro to crash
Fixed a bug causing some of Gwen's dire moments to be skipped
Added several tweaks and additions to Gwen's dialogue in the hall
Gwen wi...
2025-02-19 20:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostVote for the next gallery model. I'm going to try to squeeze these out a bit faster as I'd like to go through the current candidates by the beginning of March. That means this poll ends Monday, 5 PM EST and the renders will come out Tuesday or Wednesday with a new poll up promptly after that.
Fixed a bug causing Olivia to crash the game
Fixed the KO bug for good and brought back the option to load a save file from the gameover screen
Fixed a problem causing Chasing/Hunting giants to skip around. They are now much snappier
Created a ton of fail-safe conditions for dialogues that improperly get passed null giant data (This is a big issue I'm working on)
Olivia will now always chase you upon becoming aware
This is a quick hotfix for some of the most egregious bugs plaguing the last dev-build.
Split up Nemara and Anna mouth play events to avoid anymore crossover.
Going forward, I have removed this method of making scenes as it was meant to save time but just creates more opportunities for gamebreaking bugs to crop up and is ultimately just an example of over-engineering.
Fixed a bug causing GlobalData.game_running to not be set to TRUE when lo...
2025-02-12 06:57:33 +0000 UTC View PostVersion: dev_25_02_10a
First off. All save files from previous versions will not be compatible with this version or any newer version going forward.
I'm sorry if that bums some people out but there have been just too many foundational changes made. It would take me a long time to figure out how to convert old saves and considering the game doesn't have much of a plot anyway at the moment, not much re...
We're just gonna move right along. Going forward, I think a fun, easy schedule for gallery polls looks like this; every week on Saturdays, a new poll goes up, closes by Wednesday, and then the new gallery art is posted by Friday.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
All right... time for the big leagues. Cast your vote.
I'm going to flow with an experiment. Some of you may have already seen the vip-gallery on the Discord app. In short, I'd like to do some one-off renders every now and then of the characters in different clothes and poses and from different camera angles.
With that being said, who should get a one-off next? I'll keep it simple to start.
Maids will include those who haven't already gotten a one-off:
Olivia, Iris, or Nemara
Patrons...
This one will be a quick update. Everything is moving along really well, I'm actually very excited to share the changes I've been working on, but those changes have, probably predictably, taken longer than I had hoped. That means no January release. It's only a slight delay, however, and I am working hard to get the next patron dev-build out as soon as possible. I think I really only need another week or two at most the get things in order.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patie...
Welcome to the beginning of 2025!
I have some big plans in store that I will be revealing within the next week. I had a great December which allowed me to step away and not think about the game for a bit. After coming back and spending some time fiddling with the old build, I've come to more than a few conclusions.
Big changes are coming as well as new content. I don't want to reveal much as there is a lot of experimentation going on right now. The formula is being flipped around...
Just a friendly reminder that subscriptions will reopen and billing will resume on January 1st. Happy Holidays and Happy New Years.
2024-12-23 21:11:43 +0000 UTC View PostAdded difficult climbing sections
Some rare areas while climbing will allow the player to fully rest and recover stamina. These areas are typically places where the avatar is sitting, like on a shoulder or in a pocket.
Added debug command "eliminate_action_meters" which reduces all giant awareness to zero
Added more unique titles for saves when in particular zones
Fixed bug causing Tina's pocket scene to fail to initiate

"Turn Around" button now glows for a second when it first appears on screen. Why did I add this? ¯\(ツ)/¯
You can no longer pass time while over-encumbered.
Heavily nerfed how much stamina can be recovered while climbing. Was 50%, is now 10%.
Successful hides now recover stamina by 100% unless climbing.

2024-12-01 18:35:52 +0000 UTC View PostI've decided to just suspend subscriptions for a month. Billing will resume on December 27th. This is just the easiest way rather than asking people to unsubscribe/resubscribe.
I still plan on posting some bug fixes over the next couple weeks, but new members will not be able to subscribe until after December 26th.
Cheers, everyone.
So, it's been a while since I made one of these all encompassing updates and the game is now officially public. I'll be posting in various forums and may even start an itch-io page, but I haven't decided on that latter part, yet. Going forward, I expect to update alpha 1.0 once or twice more as I fix bugs and patch the game. After that, the game will go back into a development phase with patrons being given special access to dev builds.
Going forward, I plan to expand more on the ...

Fixed some bugs with battles causing the ui to shimmer when the heat haze shader was up
During giant event battles, the body part icons will stay up until after the player's action. This is a bit glitchy at moments in unintended ways. More attention will need to be given to this.
