The incremental this week will probably be a little light or even absent. I kind of got reminded out of the blue I was supposed to attend an anime con with friends on Friday, and managed to wrap up what I'd been doing and upload on Saturday while there, but that consumed up through today, and tomorrow I've got a planned mid-week trip with family.
I'm going to try and get in at least a few scenes on Friday and Saturday so that I can upload something, but I apologize in advance if it's a slightl...

Since the public release was on Monday, think I'm gonna push the incremental to Monday too. Will probably return to regular schedule after that.

If you've already seen this from a bunch of other people you follow, I apologize, I'm just trying to make sure you didn't miss it.
Patreon apparently had some problems processing payments this month and a ton of them got declined. Apparently most people whose payments got declined didn't even get a notice, so they might not be aware that they got booted from their donation tiers.
So far the only solution I've seen anyone propose is calling your bank to let them know that Patreon is a leg...

Welcome to the first of a series of ongoing polls to determine new features of and related to Devious World!
In these polls, I'm going to ask you to pick the feature you most want to see. I understand if you're thinking "Well I like several of these" or "I want them all!" The thing is, the long-term plan is to get all of these features implemented. But I want to get them done one at a time, and make sure each is working properly and stable, and then move on to the next one.

Well, as I expected, I dropped about $50 below the goal at the first of the month. It happens, a few people always drop out around that time.
However, I'm moving ahead on the assumption that next month I will meet that goal at the start of September. Whether or not it drops below that afterwards, I will continue to work for the rest of that month on the schedules established by the goal. (So basically, let's establish that as the goal... if I'm at $1200 on the 1st, the rest of the month is on ...

Whew, actually got quite a bit done this month. Sometimes it didn't feel like it, but overall I'm actually really happy with the amount.
- Cyan can now ask her mother if they're going to meet her boyfriend.
- Plenty of new stuff in the costume shop in the mall.
- Cyan can watch 'Black Hole Busters' on her VR program.
- Cyan and her accidental clone (whichever one that is) can go back to Earth and start...

Whew, it's gonna be a hot month, and it's a decently hot update too I think!
- There's a new cheat item in the Ranma debug sim. There's also some new lewds over in the Personality Pendant path.
- Cyan gets the lion's share of content this month. Her path springing from The Complete Monk got quite a bit of expanding. Over in the haunted house path, she can also take the Influence deal from demon!Leslie, or if she's a...

I'm heading out of town in like six hours and I still have a ton to do before I can even get in the car. So just to let you know, there won't be an incremental... well, technically later today.
There's probably enough content to warrant one, but just barely, and since the last one was on Wednesday I think it'd be better to wait. So the next incremental will be on the nineteenth. It'll be worth the wait though!

I know I said I was gonna try to get at least a small incremental out on Saturday after Wednesday's release, but that's when I thought I was going to be able to write quite a bit on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately I overestimated my recovery... I was already coming down with a short but nasty stomach bug on Tuesday, but since I was able to push through it and write a handful of passages on Wednesday before the release, I thought it wouldn't be too bad of a problem. But on Thursday, I was just...

I'm fairly pleased with the amount of stuff I got done. Some of the bullet points only got a passage or two, but some of them got much more than that, and I really feel like it's good stuff that's moving things forward.
- There's quite a bit of new stuff for Sam becoming villainous, and a little bit of stuff on the hero side.
- Some more of Anubilis tormenting Rei.
- Some new adventures to be had on Wilma's visit to F...

Since this Saturday and the first are kind of in an odd place, I decided to do the public release build on Wednesday (the second), just so that it's a nice round place in the week. That way the public release will have a bit more content from Monday and Tuesday, and the next incremental will have stuff from Thursday and Friday. Seems like a nice balance.

Hey gang! Story and lewds both in this update, some entirely new stuff and some revisiting of old stuff, as it likely should be.
- More work on Austin's starting points.
- More stuff on using the slave collar on Ranma in the debug sim. Alternatively, titty ninja Homura has been added to the sim as a playable NPC.
- Cyan can now try the Jersey Devil milkshake at Tandy's.
- Jamie and Kevin can also try t...

- You can now go home later after running away to Capital City, and thus be urged to seek employment.

Since it looks like there's a fair few people who want turning back to Cypher to be a Bad End, but significantly more who want to play some version of him when taken all together, you delightfully get it both ways!
One option from turning fully into Cypher will lead directly to the bad end, where he finds a fate befitting such a flat character. That way those who dislike him sufficiently can have closure. Meanwhile there will be other options for playing him that lead to the other potentials.....

So I've been working on some particular content and had a thought.
If you've read the Cypher path, specifically where you return to the Meridian and meet your body's old crew, you may have gotten the impression that Cypher is, well, pretty much a dick.
Basically the character is (somewhat posthumously) meant to be a parody/mockery of badly-written "stoic badass" characters. He's passionless and uncaring, pretty much existing only to dive through the air while firing two guns. He has no s...

- More ways for Rubber Buggy Bumper to torment Rei.
- New stuff for Jamie learning his incubus powers.

I meant to make this post yesterday, but all the issues with the release got me flustered I guess, and I forgot. Whoops.
Anyway. I've had something in mind for several months now, a sort of goal for this year. Something I want to do in 2018.
That is, I want to get at least one path done.
Not one character, that would be pretty much impossible. But at least one of the branches where it clearly becomes its own thing, like it stops being just "an Eric path" and becomes "this specific ...

Here we go, gang, the last public release of 2017. (Barring me having made some sort of egregious screwup and needing to make another post to fix it. ... Hey, more optimism in 2018, okay?!)
Anyhoo, considering all the massive distractions and just plain "take it easy" temptations of the holiday season, I'm pretty proud of how much I managed to get done. There's still a few Christmas scenes I'm annoyed I didn't get to, but overall I'm pleased that I was able to buckle down and get some fan favo...

As noted earlier, Chistmas Eve marks the launch of a special year-end incremental, for all my patrons. As a special gift for all of you, and a token of my appreciation, this week's incremental is available to everyone who's pledged.
And, as my attempted Christmas gift to all of you, here's what it contains over the last incremental (easy enough to figure out what was in the incrementals before that if this is the first you're seeing):

Okay, here's the plan for this month!
I'm going to release an incremental build as usual in a few minutes. It's admittedly slightly skimpy, but I am getting a bit more momentum under me for this week (and I'm done with pretty much all my holiday prep so no more distractions there) so I expect the next one will have some good stuff... and should be pleasing for a lot of folks.
On Sunday the 24th (Christmas Eve), I'm going to release a special incremental build. This build will be for all ...

As you might expect, the holidays have brought with them a number of holiday-necessary activities and diversions that have delayed writing.

So I couldn't actually change the $10 tier, but I've added a new one that will have the same early access as the $10 tier. You can change to that if you feel more comfortable with it.
Patreon's response to this change and the outrage it's drawn has been to state outright that I and every other creator that doesn't get tens of thousands of dollars in pledges a month is unwelcome here. They are essentially trying to drive us off. Why, I don't know. It doesn't make good business sense of any kind...

That way you're still getting charged just the $10 under Patreon's new system.
