Status update

Most of the work is still being done "behind the scene", coding things like how dialogues and events will work and other things that will make it easier to create content later on. Then I have to create a proper interior layout of the monastery (day plus night) with the rooms and everything how I want it. So there's still much left to do before I can start focusing on creating content. At some point, I might release another test version on Discord that will contain the first part of the intro...

Poll about display/zoom settings

This is a poll for those of you who will play my coming game on a Windows computer, laptop or stationary. I want to know what settings you use, to help me design the html pages in the best way. There are two settings that I want to know. 

The first setting is the desktop display/scale setting. On Windows 7, you can see that by right clicking on the desktop and choose Personalize and then click on Display in the bottom left corner and you'll see the setting. On Windows 10, right cli...

Test version released to all patrons

The test version has been posted in the patron channel on my Discord. To access the channel, you have to connect your Patreon account to your discord user, if you haven't done that already. You do it on Patreon by going to "My profile settings" then "Connected Apps" and then add your discord user. When you log into my discord server, you should get your patron benefit and be assigned a role based on your tier.

test build coming soon

I'm soon ready to present a test version of The Monastery on Discord (patron channel). It will be about testing the basics, to check that the game and the UI run and look okay on different browsers and resolutions before I add more features and game mechanics. 

New game and going forward

My next game will be called The Monastery. You can download an early demo on the patron-only Discord channel.

I will pause the billing for next month to give everyone a chance to decide if they want to continue supporting me after seeing the next game and also the new tiers. I have removed the extra early access for t...

Status report

As no more bugs reports are coming in (knock on wood), I'm releasing the final version of Paradise Found to all patrons a few days ahead of time. I want to get this over with before announcing my next game which I will do very soon.

v1.0 final

Paradise Found v1.0.04: Mega

Cheat code here

Discord

October 1

Just a confirmation that v1.0 beta is ready for release on October 1. 

For anyone wondering about the next game, I will have more information about that some week or so after v1.0 is out. 

Status update

Playtesting has started and I'm aiming for an October 1 release. This should give me enough time for testing as I'm expecting at least one or two days more time than usual for playtesting since it's the final major update and everything has to come together nicely.  

Status update

I am done with everyone except the landlady. Work on her is starting now. When I'm done with that, I probably need a day or two to tie everything together into an ending as this will be the final update (except for bugfixes). Then comes a few days of playtesting before I'm done.

I don't want to rush things, so I will just take my time with it, but unless something unforseen happens, I should be ready for release early in October at the latest.

I'll post again when I'm starting pla...

Status update

Older sister, therapist, Antonella are done. Most of nurse is done. 

The final major update of the game is still looking good for a release in the second half of September. I can't rule out that I will go for an October release instead, but my aim is to release it in September. I released the demo (v0.1) in September 2019, around the 20th, so I'd like to finish it in September 2021, two years later.

Status update

Just a quick progress update.

 Content for older sister is done. More than halfway finished with Antonella's content.

Status report

Thanks for the support everyone,

Work on v0.13 (or v1.0 as it will be called at release since it will complete Paradise Found) is progressing. Much of the time since I released v0.12 has been spent working on the next game, so I haven't done much yet on v0.13, but I have most of the stories basically ready in my head, so it's a matter of getting it down into playable content. I think, hope, that once I get more content done, the feeling of being close to finishing the game will keep my ...

Discord

So other devs keep saying you need a Discord. I finally caved and created a server for GRasputin Games. Every patron with a Discord account should be invited to the server and assigned their tier roles when they connect to their Discord, if I understand the Patreon setup instructions correctly.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Discord, so let's see how it goes. If I'm not answering, it's probably because I don't know how, haha.

Status report

v0.12 is now available to all patrons here 

It was a good thing that I got v0.12 ready when I did. A couple of days after and until now, it has been too hot in my apartment to do any serious work. I expected July to be hot, so I'm glad I got v0.12 out before the real heat started. 

I haven't started work on v0.13 yet, recharging my batteries while trying not to melt away in the apartment. But ...

$5 Version 0.12

Version 0.12

Here is the (hopefully) final version of v0.12, spellchecked and bugfixed.

Status update

I'm starting playtesting of v0.12 now. It should take a few days as usual unless there is a major problem.

Status update

I wanted to complete as many storylines as I could for v0.12 to put that behind me and focus on the remaining women in v0.13, so I've completed the stories/content for Jolee, Avery and Krissy, except for some minor additions to tie everything up in v0.13.

As for the rest: Content for the older sister is done for v0.12, in preparation for the ending of her "mystery" in v0.13. The nurse, the therapist, the younger sister and Antonella are almost done. Then I have a decent amount of conten...

Status update, billing and future game

Before I go into detail, I'm letting you know that you will be charged on July 1. If v0.12 is not out in July, I will suspend payments for August 1.

So, I'm pretty excited because I have finally come up with a great idea for my next game. I had another idea I was working on but I never felt excited about it, so it never left the idea stage. But suddenly a few days ago, I just had it. I don't want to reveal anything about the game yet, except that I will make it in HTML (Twine/Sugarcube)...

Status report

Work on v0.12 is continuing. A release in June is very unlikely. I will probably wait until a week or so before July before deciding if I'm sure of a July release or not. If not, I'll suspend the payments again then. July is extra tricky to predict because it can get very hot in my apartment during summer and especially July, making it not very pleasant to work on the game. 

Status report

In v0.11 I focused on a few of the girls. Especially I focused on the older sister and the landlady. They will probably get the most attention in v0.12 too, but I also want to spread it around this time, giving attention to all the girls.  

Work on v0.12 is in progress. You will not be billed on June 1. That's about it for now. 

Fav girl poll comparison 2021 vs 2020

(I'll leave the current poll open for a good while and I will check it continually, so if you haven't voted yet, please do. Your votes can still influence me going forward.)

I have the favorite girls poll from April 2020 saved on my computer, so I used that to make this comparison. The comparison isn't exact but gives a good view percentage-wise of the votes for each g...

Poll: favorite characters

It's been a long time since we had a poll for your favorite characters and many new patrons since then. As there might only be a few updates left before the game ends, the result of this poll can influence me in how much I will focus on and flesh out each of their storylines before the end. Select as many of them as you want. At least 2-3 would be good.

Status report

Thanks for the support everyone. 

I have released v0.11 to all patrons now here. I won't do any more public releases on Patreon, instead releasing to $1 patrons as the final step.

I have made minor changes to the tiers to reflect this and to shorten the time between tier releases, making it 3 days between each tier.

I've thought about how I should do the monthly billing going for...

Version 0.11

Here is v0.11.02: Mega, PixelDrain 

Cheat code 

Status update

Testing is almost done. Unless I run into problems, I will release v0.11 Beta to $20 patrons sometime tomorrow (Tuesday).

Status update

Playtesting of v0.11 will start later today. The final Beta should be ready for release to $20 patrons sometime next week. Usually playtesting takes around 3 days but this time I expect a couple of days more because of changes to the inner workings of the game -- the changes introduced in v0.10.3 but also some other changes. It has been a long time since v0.10 was released, so I'm eager to get v0.11 out as soon as possible.

Older game codes

Status update

In short, I will release v0.11 in April and patrons will be billed as usual on April 1.

So, I have finished the main part of Jane/landlady's content for v0.11. I expect a couple of more days or so to finish things with her. Next I will do the therapist and the nurse. I expect to be done with them sometime around early April, maybe even late March. And that is 90-100% of what I have planned for v0.11. Because of this, and because I have been working as much as I have on the game lately, ...
