Shaddolands – Memories: Weekly Update Hey folks, Time for another little update on Shaddolands – Memories. Well, I'm now working on the final three scenes of Chapter One, so things are coming together rather nicely! Alongside those remaining scenes, I've been revisiting parts of the storyline, refin

Update 12/10/2026 Hey folks, Time for another little update from The Shaddolands Universe. Well, it's been another productive week working on Shaddolands – Memories, although I must admit I've spent a fair bit of it doing what I seem to do best these days... changing things I've already finished! 😂

Shaddolands – Memories: The Demo is Here! Hey folks, Well... I thought it was about time I gave you something to actually play. 😋 While working through Part One of Shaddolands – Memories, I realised I'd reached a point in the story that works perfectly as a natural stopping place for a demo. So rat

Shaddolands – Memories: Development Update Hey folks, Time for another little update on Shaddolands – Memories. Work is continuing steadily, and I've now reached the stage where I'm bringing all the completed scenes together and looking at Part One as a whole, rather than as a collection of individu

Hey folks, I thought I'd do something a little different for this update and introduce you properly to two people who are going to be very important to Shaddolands – Memories. Meet Henry and Joan Carter — Marilyn's parents. Henry is 52, a retired Major in the British Army. He's the steadier of the t

Oops! Hey folks, I've managed to miss last week's update yet again. I think I'm going to have to start setting an alarm! 😂 Anyway... there has been a bit of a change of plan with Shaddolands – Memories. I've spent literally hours experimenting with animations and trying to get them to the standard

Hi folks, I was putting the finishing touches to a couple of renders — and inevitably redoing a few that I decided weren't quite good enough 😂 — when I suddenly realised I'd completely missed last week's update. So, I suppose I'd better put that right! First of all, Part One of Shaddolands – Memori

Hi everyone, Time for another little update on Shaddolands – Memories. First, the numbers: Renders: 98% Animations: 5% Scripting: 15% Coding: 5% So yes, the renders for Part One are very nearly there! I've also completed one of the animations I've been experimenting with. I'm still approaching anima

Hi everyone, Time for another little update on Shaddolands – Memories. Progress is steady at the moment, with most of my available development time going into the renders. As things stand, the rough progress for Part One looks something like this: Renders: 95% Animations: 2% Scripting: 10% Coding: 5

Hi everyone, I thought I'd drop in with another little update. There isn't any major news to announce this time, but I always like to keep you in the loop, even when progress is happening quietly in the background. Development on Shaddolands – Memories is continuing steadily whenever I can grab the

Hi everyone, I thought it was time for another little update. Things are much the same as they were in my last post, although I'm gradually finding a little more time to work on the stories again. Our friend is still in hospital, and my other half is now spending most of her time caring for her, so

Hi everyone, I thought it was time to let you know about a small change in direction. Firstly, not much has changed on the home front since my last update. Our elderly friend is still in hospital, so life continues to revolve around hospital visits, caring responsibilities and all the day-to-day jug

Hi everyone, It's been a few weeks since my last update, so I thought I'd check in and let you know where things stand. Life has been a little busier than usual recently. An elderly friend of ours suffered a fall and has been hospitalised. As a result, my other half has taken on much of the responsi

Hi everyone, I know I originally mentioned an early April public release to coincide with Chapter Two for VIP members — but as we’re now into mid-April and Chapter Two is taking a little longer than expected, I felt it was only fair to release Chapter One publicly now. I do want to be clear that thi

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great Easter if you celebrate it. Time for a quick update… Chapter Two is coming along nicely, although the week leading up to Easter was a little slower than planned — family life tends to do that 😄 One of the bigger changes is that I’ve added an extra route withi

Hey folks, I thought it was about time for an update. It’s been a few weeks now since the release of Izzy – Chapter One, and good progress is being made on what comes next. I’m currently aiming to release Chapter Two in early April — no promises on exact dates this time… I’ve learned that lesson 😄

Hi everyone, If you’d rather not sign up as a monthly member, you can still access Shaddolands – Izzy Chapter One by purchasing this post from the link above. It’s a simple one-time payment with no subscription required, giving you immediate access to the chapter. Thank you for supporting the projec

Hi everyone, So… we did uncover a few bugs and inconsistencies during testing, and I’m working through those at the moment. I did make one slightly daft move though — I updated Ren’Py before fully finishing the chapter… and, as you might expect, it’s thrown up a few code gremlins 🤷‍♂️ So those are

Hey folks, Well… it’s done. Chapter One has now been delivered to a couple of friends for proofreading and bug checking. So, assuming nothing unexpected pops up during that phase, IZZY should be available to VIP members very, very soon. I know it’s been a long haul, and I genuinely can’t thank you e

Hey folks, while your waiting for Izzy to drop; pop over to The Amorous Antechinus, a fellow creator and friend who has some really good stories to tell 😀👍 The Amorous Antechinus | Patreon (Patreon)

Hey folks, Just wanted to share some developments. I finally got myself a program I can use for animations. It's early days yet, but I'm really pleased with the results so far. Here are a couple for you to look at and hopefully comment:

Hi everyone, I honestly can’t believe it’s been over three weeks since I last posted. I hope the New Year has been kind to you so far. I went into January fully expecting to have the time and headspace to concentrate on the story almost full-time… but, as life tends to do, it had other ideas. Nothin

Hey everyone, First of all — a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026 to you all 🎉✨ I hope you’re finally coming up for air after whatever festive chaos you indulged in over the last week or so. Now that things are settling back into something resembling normality, I can finally get back into pro

Hey folks, Sadly but also gladly, the family turned up early last Saturday, which kinda put the kibosh on me finishing at the weekend and snookered me for working this week. Christmas is now upon us so final won't be out till after Christmas now. In the meantime... Here's a wallpaper for you, to tid

Hi folks, I've decided to release the Alpha version to my VIP Patrons a few days before the completed version. My reasoning is that this project, just like WHID has grown as I've been developing it and, together with the problems I have had personally, has taken far longer than I had intended. So, I

Firstly the good news for me, the lumps on my head have gone and the doc tells me the blood tests showed insect venom in my blood... seems I had a bad reaction 🤷‍♂️ It's a massive relief for me. Now I can get on with the story in a much more relaxed state of mind. Anyway, the change to give choices

Not much longer to wait folks 👏😋

Greetings friends, Well that was a total cluster F*ck of a train smash wasn't it. I failed miserably and crashed at about 8am on monday morning. Woke at about 11am with QWERTY imprinted on my face and sinking feeling of failure. The rest of this week has been spent sorting out the health side of thi

Geez! I still have a ways to go, but I'm not stopping till it's done. Just saying, so you don't think I've given up 😎

Hey guys, Just to let you know... I'm almost there, but these renders are taking an age! I'm going to take a break for an hour or so as my eyes are really tired, So drop time will be between 02.00 and 03.00 in the morning. I really shouldn't give times should I 🤷‍♂️ See you in a few hours...

Hi folks, Well, it's been hectic with all that's going on around me at the moment. But, after a few DM comments, and a few supporter cancellations, we've made a decision to, unlike my previous post mentioned, give choices in the Izzy story. So there will be a Vanilla path and an NTR/S path. Therefor

Good morning friends. I find it hard to believe it's been so long since my last update. For that I apologise. So much has happened since my daughters wedding. The following Monday started off great and work on Shaddolands got off to a fine start, then... I got a really heavy cold, I feared it was Co

Hi all, Wedding is over all went well, but friends don't go back till Sunday. So I can back into working on Monday 🥳🎉🎉 Not much to report really just a couple of sneak peeks to whet your appetite. I'm not sure if I'll manage to get the scenes they depict into episode one, but they will be in epis

Hello my friends, I think it's time for an update and a couple of sneak peeks. I have 4 more scenes left to complete, plus a few re-renders to do as well as some coding. So it will still be a while before S1:E1 drops for VIP members. But rest assured, I am working on the re-renders at the moment, wh

Every story needs a touch of elegance. In Shaddolands, it arrives in the form of Vivienne Marcelline. 🕯️ Vivienne Marcelline Vivienne Marcelline is the kind of woman who seems untouched by the world around her. Tall, poised, and effortlessly elegant, she carries herself like someone born to candlel

✨ Every story has a shadow… ✨ In Shaddolands, his name is Carlos. Mal calls him her “favourite stalker” with a laugh, but behind his charming smile and mysterious presence, there’s something about him that lingers. Is he simply a harmless admirer… or something far more dangerous? Carlos is one of th

Hey folks, time to introduce another couple who play an important role in Shaddolands: Jason and Claire Hartwell. They’ve been friends with Steve and Mal for years, often joining them on trips and holidays, and they bring a very different flavour to the mix… 💋 Claire Hartwell Claire is in her late

Hey folks, I'm taking a leaf out of my good buddy Bob's (The Amorous Antechinus) book of ideas and introducing the characters that will appear in Episode 1 of Shaddolands. First and foremost has to be; Steve and Marilyn (Mal) Delaney. Marilyn (Mal) Delaney Mal is 27 years old and, after 2 years of c

Apparently my last post contravened the Patreon Rules, so has been taken down. A quick overview of the post is that I now have my laptop back and continue with the story. I did edit the post so I'm not sure if it will appear again when it has been reviewed. Cheers, Shaddo

If you decide to go for release then bare in mind it will be relatively short with very few animations. If you decide to wait... it could be at least a month or more before the story will be seen. It's up to you... I await your decision 😉

Hey folks, I hope you didn't think I had given up on this, because I really haven't!! I've been alluding to the fact that I have had problems with my laptop over the last couple of months and finally it gave up the ghost. Hard drive and Fan assembly need replacing. Luckily everything was saved to th

Hello my friends... I didn't realise how quick the time has gone by. Just a quick update to let you know I'm still working on the first release of Shaddolands. I've been spending most of the time trying to get my head around the coding side of things and not doing too well with it. DAZ3D is still me

Good morning my friends. A rather belated update this time, as I took a few days off to clear my head and catch up with a few "real world" tasks that I've been putting off for far too long. "Shaddolands" is progressing nicely, but taking time as I try to introduce some coding. As I've said before...
