I've been keeping busy with some new location maps - so busy, in fact, that I've fallen behind on my polls for naming our NPCs! Before we get to that, here are some previews of the new locations that are being added into v0.11:
Like the original set of location maps (added waaaaaay back at the...
2023-03-18 07:09:32 +0000 UTC View PostPeople seem to really like the Big Tiddy Goth (gf?) I drew for my recent bit of practice in Clip Studio! I've wanted to introduce some new NPCs into A Very Full House to help fill out the world with more minor characters and the Goth seems like a great candidate for that!
So that's what I want to ask you all about today: Do you want to see The Goth added as an NPC? 2023-03-13 16:46:52 +0000 UTC View Post
For the last week or so I've been doing all of my drawing practice in Clip Studio as a trial period to see how I like it. I started out with some basic sketches, then moved onto some linework. This cute (or at least busty) goth girl is the first bit of fully coloured art I've finished, and I wanted to walk through the experience with you all!
I'm going to break my workflow up into a few different stages and give them all a score of -5 to +5, with 0 being "the same as GIMP", -5 being "dr...
2023-03-11 18:05:19 +0000 UTC View PostLike the last poll I posted, today we're going to be picking the default name for one of the NPCs in A Very Full House. Today we'll be deciding on a name for a crowd favourite, the Cheerleader! Multiple choice is enabled, so vote for which names you like for The Cheerleader down below.
While you ponder which name(s) you like the most, I'll fill you in on what I...
2023-03-10 17:48:12 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the release of v0.10 I noticed there were a few reviews of the game that were unhappy with the naming scheme of the characters. I've also seen screenshots where every NPC's name was left as the default role based name, and that is decidedly unsexy when it shows up in events. I asked some of my high tier patrons how we should fix this up and we've decided to hand out a default name to each NPC!
These default names will be replacing the "Nerd", "Slacker", "Firebrand", etc. ...

I've been interested in trying out other drawing programs for a little while, and I've recently settled on Clip Studio as the one I wanted to try out. Learning a new drawing program is like learning how to write with your left hand - you know what you want to do, but it takes a long time to build up the muscle memory to make it happen. So for the next few weeks I'll be using Clip as my main drawing program for any of my practice art pieces!

This update I'm not forgetting to post this right away! Woo, go me!
The patron password for v0.10 is: "the same as last month's password". It's literally that sentence; you don't need to go looking up old passwords! The v0.9 password sparked off a hilarious number of confused posts, and I want to keep that tradition rolling (until it gets too obvious, then we'll go back to some normal passwords for a while).
As usual, you're welcome to s...

Major Update Features
A little more than a year ago I started really focusing on learning how to draw. I decided to commit about 30 minutes every day to drawing or sketching something, and sharing the results of what I'd been working on every day. Here's a look at the earliest pieces I shared! My drawing theme at the time was "big tiddy elf" - a theme I intend to carry forward into the future!
Now I'm pretty sure a ...

I've had a couple low productivity days, but I've still been able to get some critical coding done for A Very Full House. I've finished up a new clothing system that allows for you to mix-and-match underwear and overwear sets and updated all of the existing content to use it. I've also spent some time making sure old saves will play nicely with it!
Now onto today's topic: I wan...

Since the last poll I've added 2 new outfits to A Very Full House: A cutdown version of the MCILF's workout outfit and a cutdown version of the Cheerleader's underwear*. All of the art is finished, rigged, and exported into Ren'py, so it's time for me to pick something new to draw!
That's today's poll question: Which outfit do you want me to add next? 2023-02-17 10:38:02 +0000 UTC View Post
The results of the v0.10 content poll are in, and "a bunch of new outfits" has won by a clean majority! I'm ready to dive right into making some new art, but I want you (yes, YOU!) to decide which outfit you want to see me add first! That's today's

v0.9 is out and (mostly) bug free now! That means it's time to move on and start working on v0.10, and the first step to that is to figure out what I should be focusing on. As usual I have a bunch of major features I will be adding to the game at some point, but I want all of you wonderful folk to help me decide which one is going to take priority and be the focus of v0.10.
So today's ...

2023-02-10 15:08:08 +0000 UTC View PostDid I post the update and then walk away to get a coffee without posting the patron code? Maybe. Am I here to give it to you wonderful folk now? Absolutely!
The patron code for v0.9 is: "the name of your main character". It's literally that sentence, not the name of your MCILF. I know the patron code gets shared around after a couple of days and I'm hoping to watch some "Who's on first" shenanigans develop!
As always, you're all welcome to share the patro...

I'm hoping to have v0.9 out tomorrow, and I'm in the process of tidying everything up now! I think I have time to write one more patron chosen event, so I want you all to tell me what you want to see!
Since this will be the last poll (for v0.9; there will be more polls like this in the future) I'm grabbing ALL of the 2nd-place poll results, plus a few new optio...
2023-02-08 09:32:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe last couple of event writing polls have been great for keeping me motivated to write new stuff, so I'm going to keep that rolling!
Today's question is, as before: What event do you want to see added to A Very Full House?
I'll write up the winner, and the 2nd place position will be rolled into the next poll for a chance at redemption.
2023-02-04 14:04:23 +0000 UTC View PostI'm just about finished writing the new masturbation walk-in event for the Slacker, which means I need to figure out what to write next. The last poll was fun, so I figured "why not do it again?"
So that's what I'm doing! Today I want to know what event you want me to add next?
If these polls keep seeing engagement I think I'll keep running new ones until it's time to release v0.9 (I'm aiming for the 7th or 8th).

I would have uploaded a nice, crisp .mp4 preview (only 8mb), but Patreon doesn't support any reasonable video standards. Instead you get this absolute chonker of a gif (61mb). Whatever, nobody's here to listen to me rant about file formats.
I've spent the last two days rigging and animating Busty's character art (which was added as static in v0.8), and I'm quite happy with how it's turned out! Obviously her body proportions are silly, but that's entirely the point. I've leaned ...
2023-01-30 16:47:36 +0000 UTC View PostI've finished with some code updates for A Very Full House and I've started work on rigging and animating Busty's new character art (you'll probably get a preview of that tomorrow). Once that's done I want to do some writing, but I'm spoiled for choice and not sure where to start!
Which brings me to today's poll: What event do you want to see me write?
I'll be taking the winning option* and writing that event as soon as I'm done with Busty's anima...

First, some business stuff! I've released v0.8.2 along with the modding resources for v0.8! You can find all of that over on the original release post (here!). That should resolve all of the bugs that have been reported, and it all should be save compatible.
With the release of v0.8 I was inspired to do this little comic for how I feel every release. No matter how much testing I think...

True to my word, I'm back with a finished up preview of "Busty" in her proper clothing!
Nothing too exciting going on here, very much on purpose! Busty has plenty to draw the eye already, so she keeps to herself with a plain grey hoodie, standard issue skirt, and just an accidental hint of her flashy underwear underneath.
I have one last bit of detail to add which I'm planning to...

I've been dedicating some of my practice time to drawing and shading some proper character art for "Busty", one of the NPCs in A Very Full House. I've finished her base body and her underwear set, and I'm hoping to finish up her daily outfit tomorrow. My goal is to include this in v0.8, but it probably won't be rigged or animated until v0.9 or later - I want to spend as much time as possible on writing some new events.
Busty's general character vibe is that she avoids d...

2023-01-17 12:22:55 +0000 UTC View PostI started today planning to get a Discord server set up for A Very Full House - a place where people interested in the game could ask questions, report bugs, share mods, make suggestions, etc. I whipped up a variant of the title page to serve as the discord server image, then realised I wanted some higher quality profile art for myself too!
Now I could have just done a static drawing and called it good enough. But I can't be making a game all about jiggly anima...
2023-01-16 18:40:32 +0000 UTC View PostGetting the new frame working took a couple days longer than expected. Most of that came down to getting the model set up so it looked good across it's whole range of motion. For animation I usually rely on Live2D's physics engine for a lot of stuff, but I ended up needing to do a lot more hand animation to make sure everything stayed where it should (ie. buried in her throat).
