First, check out the art commissioned by Argo the Ratfolk! I think the exact scene is clear enough from context. It's nice to see such a comfy, personal scene illustrated. ^-^
I've gotten ove...

Check out the above CG! Progress continues on those, and I'm actually ready to show another preview of several to some backers, though that will come when I have a bit more time. Some of them I rea...

Okay... it looks like all the unpleasant promotional work paid off, because my new book is off to a good start! The new cover above has been well-received, but I'm more enthusiastic about a much sm...
2019-08-18 19:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostMy week was productive but bad. I know I've said this before, but I really do not like the marketing aspects of my job. This week I've done a number of things regarding algorithms, co...

This was a really scattered week. I'll just give each item its own paragraph, I suppose.
Artwork for TLS moves forward, and I just gave $10 backers a look at the first three finished scenes. ...

Art progress has continued behind the scenes. Please take a look at three of the game's early scenes, all of which should be easily identifiable. The plan is to continue with first chapter art, the...
2019-07-31 22:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe public release has gone mostly smoothly, though there are a few details that will need to be corrected. I don't intend to let a long time lapse before the final update of this chapter, but I ha...
2019-07-28 19:56:28 +0000 UTC View PostEDIT: Links are updated to 0.44.6 to fix the heal bug and add some minor improvements. I also just put up a new art post for some patron tiers showing several of the finished scenes.

2019-07-26 22:27:14 +0000 UTC View PostIn an ideal world, this link would be the public release on Friday, but this is a complex section and I've made many improvements/fixes. I don't intend to make any more substantial changes, so thos...

The big release has gone well. It seems I didn't make it clear enough to some, so to state it again: this release is larger than average and will take two weeks in beta before the public release. I...
2019-07-21 22:26:59 +0000 UTC View PostUPDATE 2: Version 0.44.3 is now live. This one is nonessential for most players, but for those who look under the hood, I've done my best to fix all placeholders, respond to all balance suggestions...

The update is coming and it's substantial. It's difficult to estimate exactly how much time it will take players or how big it will feel, but in terms of the amount of work on my end, I think it at...

I had another above average week. You know what this means... my expectations for average will just get raised to this pace. This is good progress, but the update is rather large.
Though I fe...
2019-06-30 22:10:08 +0000 UTC View PostI've had an above-average week. I completed roughly X% of the update, reducing the expected time to completion by Y days, unless a future below average week increases it by Z days. Work continues.<...
2019-06-24 01:43:50 +0000 UTC View PostTangential thoughts alert. Concise update in the last paragraph.
One dark lining to the silver cloud of working as a creator is that you demystify your own process. Back when I was juggling a...
2019-06-16 22:34:40 +0000 UTC View PostAfter putting out the public update, I took a break. Other than fixing remaining issues and replying to people, I didn't do a lot of work for a day. Feels weird to type that, but I needed it. You g...

Short update because I am currently on fire. This was the week where all the maps, dialogue, and other pieces I'd finished in the past started coming together into a lot of tested content. It's alw...
2019-05-26 22:24:18 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes hiring out work helps things move faster, sometimes it makes work weird when I'm waiting to receive something. That hasn't stopped progress, but it meant I needed to start doing future di...
2019-05-20 03:00:36 +0000 UTC View PostThis was an okay week. I got a decent amount of mapping done: some general maps of Erosian locations, plus a couple more elaborate maps that I think are pretty solid. I also moved my outlines from ...
2019-05-12 22:00:58 +0000 UTC View PostTitle seems kind of negative, but wasn't intended to be. Since I'm not likely to write more NGM unless I feel especially inspired, I wanted to share some of the things that would have happened if t...
