September Progress Report

I'll keep this one short, I'm hoping to put the finishing touches on the next update and release it soon.

I originally planned to do both maps, Bakersfield and Spooner St, for the Molly Exploration Mini-game but considering how long it is taking to just get the Bakersfield one done, I'm going to split up the updates.

v0.1.2 will be the Bakersfield update and will feature the completed map for the exploration, a new area that can be unlocked by exploring, a new intimate scene with ...

August Progress Report

I hope everyone's summer went well. It was a bit of a strange one this year I think. But let's dive into the report.

Designing the exploring mini-game has been pretty fun actually. I might have to do a real rpg/dungeon crawling game one day haha

Trying to turn the general idea of taking a doggirl for a walk around the neighbourhood and turn it into something attempting to resemble gameplay is really interesting. At the very least, it will be a good test to see if people have any s...

July Progress Report

Let's get right to it.

v0.1 of City of Primal Desires (CPD) was released on here July 19th and then I released it on itch.io and F95Zone on July 21st and both went well. I got some feedback on the content as well as some bugs to fix and potentially some new people following only in the server or patreon.

I was hoping to get v0.1.1 out a little sooner to fix those problems but ended up having a couple of busy weeks irl mixed with just wanting to redo a section.

I wanted to ad...

Official Game Announcement

I don't think I've done one of these yet. Just some simple explanations. Well, with the game going through some checks and hopefully set to launch next week, here's the official announcement.

Title: The City of Primal Desires

Genre: Sandbox, Text RPG, Historical Fantasy, Life Sim, Dating Sim

Description: 

The year is 1924 and you have decided it is high time to leave your country and find somewhere else to live. Hearing of a golden city in the west where you can g...

Beta Testers Needed

Oook. This weekend I'll be ready to do a beta test on the new game. If you are free this weekend (July 14-16) and are interested, just comment here, I'll message you in the PMs when it comes time. 

I'm going to spend the rest of the week doing checks myself and then I'll make it available Friday for the testers. Please let me know if anything needs fixing. I'm really just looking for bugs and spelling/grammar bullshit. It's too early in development for anything else. I just want to...

June Progress Report

1 more building and I'll be starting the beta test.

The beta test will be simple enough. I'll schedule it for a weekend so the testers have some time. They would receive it the Friday and then have until Sunday night to submit their report so I can start work again on Monday and do whatever changes are necessary before a public release.

When I finish I'll put out a request for anyone that wishes to beta test.

Just got to finish this last building first haha It's the pain in ...

Summer of 69 Sale

It finally happened. A sale so long in the making that Bryan Adams wrote a song about it in 1984. That's right it's the Summer of 69 Sale!

From today until the end of summer (September 23rd), My Catgirl Maid: Extra Fluffy Edition will be on sale for 69% off at itch.io ($1.55)

Now, now. Let's all settle down. There's enough catgirls for everyone and enough time to pick it up so don't rush. Let's play ...

May Progress Report

The summer started in full force up here. I wasn't expecting it to hit over 30 degrees Celsius so suddenly but it's been brain melting this week.

Anyways, I posted on the 21st that I had finally completed the "wrestling" section of the game and the rest of the month was dedicated to unnecessarily long days at work and laying the groundwork for the next district.

As I predicted, it's been...

Quick Update of Game Progress

I'm going to be a little vague as this is a public post on Patreon and I need to stay within the guidelines.

So, I've finish the "wrestling" system for that game finally and it's certainly...something haha I wanted to build it off a turn based combat system to add a level of unpredictability to each session.

Obviously, there's no fighting. It's just you pick an action, they pick an action, somebody will eventually see the light. You can only do stuff to them, having stuff happen t...

April Progress Report

This was a long month, wasn't it?

Continuing from last month's post, I was able to finish the first district easily enough and then I decide to tackle the more...adult aspect of the game and that was the rest of the month for me.

I wasn't originally planning for it to be this big but it happens. I'm at about 60 different things you can do based on different partners and situations and we'll see what the final number comes out to when I'm done. This is going to be an interesting sy...

March Progress Report

I hope everyone's March went well. We can consider this one a Spring update as I'll post my status and plan for the next couple of months.

Status: I'm nearly done with the first district and first character in this new game, which doesn't sound like much but with only getting to work 1-2 hrs a week on the game, it is what it is I'm afraid. 

Things will pick up though. Because it's the first character and first district, most of the time was just spent trying to figure out a l...

February Progress Report

Short month. Short update. I think you guys prefer it that way anyhow.

Progress continues to be made. Work continues to be a pain in the butt.

See you next month!

January Progress Report

I'm going to try and keep this one shorter and I expect there will be some confusion so please ask your questions.

I said in my last novel of a blog post that I would discuss my new game's setting and focus more here so that's my plan.

The game will be a Text RPG/Dating Sim with some life sim elements thrown in for some extra gameplay. In a nutshell: Get rich and date people.

I want to make a quicker paced game where you can restart with different characters and try dating d...

A Much Better Update Post Than Last Time

I had kept my usual monthly post short and with things going a little better health wise (no covid but lots of headaches because of this damn weather), I should be able to stumble my way through a proper one now.

I'm going to try and not be too tight lipped on the details with this one, mainly because I don't need to fear giving up spoilers. Way too easy to do that accidentally with stories.

I spent some time back in November playing around with Twine because it's the usual engine...

End of 2022 Post

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet because it's been covid round 2 around here since Christmas.

I hope everyone has had an interesting holiday and new years and that you have some exciting plans for 2023.

I'm looking forward to 2023 myself and the development of my new project. Thank you to everyone that has stuck around and continues to read these.

See you in the next post when I'm a little more healthier.

November Monthly Report

Another month done and I'd like to say things are moving pretty good. While I'm lying, I'd also like to say I'm an giant moose with a Swedish accent.

Haha The reality is: there's nothing really to report.

October I had focused on converting Open Road to a novel so for this month, I focused on laying the ground work for the text adventure game.

Balancing the 2 projects will mean this will be the status quo for a little bit. Particularly in the early stages of the text adventu...

Open Road -The Visualess Novel-

A couple notes, because you can't escape me. 

Spacing might be a little weird. I noticed between different browsers that it can be spaced different. I used Chrome to format it but I know it looks a little odd in Firefox so just ignore it if the spacing is odd. (If you use Safari or Edge, God help you. It'll probably be in Romanian or something. I haven't checked.)

Second, Margo will be continuing to edit it, she just hasn't had the chance because October was busy as hell at o...

October Monthly Report

What a month.

First off, I'd like to think everyone for continuing to follow me after Open Road's release and then sudden shutting down. That's left 2 major questions that will need to be addressed and after the month, I have the answer to each that I hope will be satisfying.

What will happen to the story of Open Road?

Its days as a game and interactive fiction is over but it will continue on in a more traditional book format. I spent the month reformatting all 10...

Important Announcement for Open Road's Future

When it was time to release the Alpha for Open Road, I said I was testing to see how the story would be received. I was curious to see if the My Catgirl Maid crowd would follow me into this next project and how it would be received by them. It would appear that I overestimated how many people that would be.

With how big this project was planning to be, I needed to make a business decision on whether it would be best to continue to invest into it. After thinking it through, I have decide...

Technical Stuff About the Release

Expectations

This is an Alpha of the VN so it is a bit raw in some aspects. Menus and GUI are sort of in place and there is no music because of the budget. They weren't the point of this release. I simply want to see how the story is received and make changes to it while it is still early if needed. Feedback, good or bad, is greatly appreciated.

Engine

What to Expect When You're Expecting

This will be a collection of all the information of the game that I had mentioned over the last year as well as some new information. My hope is that it will answer 90% of the initial questions people will have about the VN without spoiling any of the story.

Be Ready

Wednesday September 28th.

I'll be releasing the alpha.

Make sure you're ready.

August Progress Report

Despite how long this month was, I didn't want it to end. I was liking the whole "going on forever" thing it was doing. 

Good progress was made this month which is what I wanted before work turned back into full-time hours for me. I'm hoping that by running the format I'm doing, with the story being a series of shorter chapters, that writing will go quite smoothly despite the fall rush at work. That was why I choose this format after all haha I'd hate for the next 4 months to be a ...

July Progress Report

I delayed this one as I was waiting to receive another character sprite and wanted to make sure I included the number in the progress report here.

Current Status of what we'll call the "Closed Alpha Build" of Open Road:

Writing: Complete

Editing: Complete

Backgrounds: 11/13

Sprites: 4/12

Programming/Gui: Starting soon

Music: Not happening

So yeah, looking good. I was able to add three character artists to the game and we're starting to see some ...

June Progress Report

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of their summer.

I wasn't able to get as far as I wanted this month, but that was because I underestimated the exposition section of the game.  Exposition is purposely dry so it can be a little stiff to write and it took a longer than expected to find a way to deliver it all in a way that I enjoy.

I trust most people won't worry too much about this section but for the few that enjoy looking through all the little lore tidbits, I hope it w...

May Progress Report

I realised today that I haven't done this yet. Sorry about that.

May was an interesting month as I spent the first week and a half fighting Covid and then just catching up on work after that. Amidst all that, I was able to get some decent writing done and I'm nearing the end of what would be the game's intro before it slips off into the individual stories. With work finally slowing down, I would like to finish everything I would need for the first update and beginning laying down the pr...
