FWA Stuff Is OVERRRRRR~

I got a sketch of Kiro by Gideon. I’ll put it up here later this week, I hope. Also a fan-commissioned bust of Syri is around to slip into the game as well. I’m going to jump right back into work on that stuff tomorrow, after I slot a new SSD into my computer. ‘Twas running out of room!

The panel was tons of fun. Thanks everyone that came and the fan that generously provided me with “perfectly normal” gummy bears.

Update: Apparently the codes Shou and I gave out were only for two months instead of three. We’re going to try to address the issue tomorrow once we can rouse our draconic coder from slumber.


Furry Weekend Atlanta

Here’s a map of the dealers’ den. Wheeeee! (I’m probably gonna post this more next weeeek!)

We’re going to be at Furry Weekend Atlanta selling some sweet branded flash drives this weekend (6th-9th). Also maybe stickers and buttons? We’ll also be running a panel on adult game development for anyone who is interested. Pictured at left is one of the sweet banners we’ll have at our table. (Jacques00 is a helluva artist.)


[Backers] Tainted Space 0.7.36

This might be the last update for a bit! We’re going to be at Furry Weekend Atlanta this weekend, and I MUST MAKE READY!

0.7.36 Changelog:

  • The “Bucking Bronco” has been added to New Texas, penned by Night Trap and Highs Alright.
  • New characters: James and Sally.
  • Many fixes and tweaks.

Concept of MOAR PIRATES commed from JayEcho by Geddy. I wonder what they’ll do?


[Backers] Another Ausar Overload

Blame HugsAlright for this one. Savin has inspired the sort of rabid fever for dog-people that not even a furry can approach. Speaking of fevers, I’m going to be sorting through these submissions when able, but I’m not sure if I’ll have another that I can bang out this quick and easy before we go to Furry Weekend Atlanta (details in link). There is quite a backlog to sort through, and whenever I get back into writing, I intend to slide into knocking out a Custom Follower someone ordered from back during the Offbeatr.

0.7.35 Changelog:

  • Liamme the ausar trap has been added to the Tavros Residential Deck between noon and 4 AM.
  • New bust: Liamme
  • Pickmentation can now give you facial freckles (do not show through fur).

  • New Items: Laquine Ears, Sweat Treat, Muffstick, FizzyFix, Strawberry Shortcake, Holstaria, Lupinoland, and Lemon Loftcake

iOS builds am rip

So it happened again. The iOS builds are failing with the amazingly useful error message:

“compile-abc failed”.

At least for the time being, no more iOS builds will be forthcoming. I’m not going out of my way to fix it immediately.


[BACKERS] April Bleh

Sorry guys, but I don’t have any april fools pranks for you this year. I do have a new build with some new content and one tidbit of exciting news: we’re planning on hiring Jacques00 to join the team in the near future. Nothing is totally final yet, and there’s going to be a bit of time before we can get the paperwork all lined up, but yay, we’re growing.

0.7.33 Changelog:

  • New Busts: Kane, Quinn
  • New Items: Muffstick, FizzyFix
  • Rodenian Codex entry added.
  • Two new NPCs on Uveto.
  • Various fixes and tweaks.
  • Jacques00 did most of the work to be honest…

Plugging a Friend & [Backers] 0.7.32!

Because what are friends for, if not plugging?

No, but seriously a long time friend of mine is working on a game to release on Steam, and I told him I’d use my phenomenal perverted powers to hook him up with some free advertisement. The game is called Attack on Kitten and you can find it on KickStarter. They’ve already punched their way through the Steam Greenlight process!

Okay, toggling shill-mode off and disappearing back into Tax & Accounting work. Yay, business!

I am lord business, and I did some more TiTS work! Nobody seems to have given me any bugs with the plantation, so I am left to assume that I am perfect in every way.

0.7.32 Changelog:

  • New character on Canadia Station: Mabbs. She’s a drug-dealing rodenian (CODEX PENDING). She’s also immune to Cap’n Steele’s wiles.
  • New bust: Mabbs.
  • Plantation Quest update: Burt and Flahne have a small bit of text if you get the best end to the plantation quest.
  • More vending machines on Myrellion, including new vending machines with two new items: Strawberry Shortcake and Lemon Loftcake (written by Couch, coded by Jacques00).
  • Various fixes and tweaks.

[Backers] Overdue Plantation Quest

It’s super late, and I’m super tired, so this post will probably be brief. 3,500+ lines of mainline content + five fights later, Fen is ded. There’s some more stuff for epilogues in Esbeth to do, but I wanted to go to bed. TOMORROW.

First up, a few words of caution:

  • This has not received extensive testing. There is a mechanism where the player’s equipment is pulled out of his/her inventory and swapped for other items. If something in it breaks, it could result in weapon/armor loss.
  • It’s supposed to be balanced for level 6-7 characters. My test character, however, is a level 8 with all maxed stats. It’s likely unbalanced.
  • It might be possible that quest progress could get borked or improperly marked. I tested as many potential routes through this as possible, but I feel like it could be a problem. Please back up your save before testing.
  • I’ll try and round up most bugs for a patch in the next 24 hours or so.

0.7.31 Changelog:

  • New quest: the plantation on Mhen’ga needs help dealing with an escaped worker – and a troublesome Zil tribe. Written by Nonesuch.
  • New enemies: Kane, Zil Hornet, Zil Hoverfly, RK Lah, and special guest: Naleen Mating Ball.
  • New items: Zil Spear and Zil Bow.
  • New busts: Estraffe, Sylvie, Nessa, Dr. Lessau
  • New Items: Holstaria and Lupinol, by Couch
  • Bubble Buddy bubbles can be drank from by appropriate PCs.

Ship Ship Ship Ship

Figured I’d give everybody an update with what I’m up to and a breakdown on what to expect for SPACE SHIPS, considering I’ve had my head into this for at least two weeks now without really surfacing much.

I’ve got the basics of the ship system itself all functional. This might not sound like too much until the scope of what you’re gonna be able to do with them becomes clear, but it made for a lot of fiddly organising to make sure it could do everything I wanted it to, and now I’m starting to flesh out the first of the core parts that need to be built on top of it- the combat.

More deets after the break if you care to peep the future of ship on ship violencing! And if you don’t care? Then I leave you with a very cool thing done by MadamSquiggles that has also pushed me toward wanting to make sure we get some more pregnancy content as soon as I crawl out from under SHIPS4EVER.
