This week in one sentence: Week two of production on The Velan Reach chapter 2, and I've got a solid basis up for two scenes now, with a new set created (I'll post a preview later), and writing and rendering underway. Up next: Announcing the Steam release date for The Velan Reach, and a write up of

This week in one sentence: Production's started on The Velan Reach Chapter 2 (even though I'm expecting some rewrites to happen at some point), and there's a new infographic to match. Up next: A Steam release is in order, so I'll be announcing that soon, and maybe I'll add a scene or two from Chapte

This week in one sentence: Releasing chapter 10 of Light of my Life (including small fixes to season 1) and rolling out a fix for a small but annoying bug took up most of my time this past week, but the long waiting time for uploads left me with plenty of room to get some work done on a few rewrites

Ma'am/Sir and Lover tier already had early access since Thursday, but now Light of my Life chapter 10 is available for (Girl)friend tier too! What to expect?

Steam's Next Fest has started, and that means that The Velan Reach chapter 1 is available as a demo on Steam for the rest of the month. Go here to grab it, and wishlist it if you haven't done so already. FAQ: Q: When will you officially release The Velan Reach on Steam? A: If the demo does well on t

Dame Estrell is the subject of the final of three images I made to show off what one might expect from the coming chapters of The Velan Reach, to include in the upcoming Next Fest demo on Steam. Wearing a more daring outfit that reveals her outstanding qualities, Her Ladyship looks right at home in

Here's the second of three images I made to show off what one might expect from the coming chapters of The Velan Reach, to include in the upcoming Next Fest demo on Steam. It features Ms. Thani Froslind, who probably has the least opportunity of any in Chapter One to show off what she could be. Alys

I'm adding some more, well, what should I call it? Concept art, coming soon preview? IDK. I'm putting this in the Next Fest demo, showing folks the kind of stuff they could look forward to further down the line, so they don't come away thinking it's all just costume drama. Not saying this exact imag

When we first meet Dame Estrell, she has her hair up in a rather imposing do, but one that doesn't really count as sexy, and this is deliberate. It's a hairdo meant to impress, not to seduce. It was always my intention to have a moment in The Velan Reach where Her Ladyship lets her hair down, in a l
