Today is the day! The first chapter of Mythos: Book One is now available for public consumption! For those that played the preview build, you can use the same save file and continue on in this full version of the first chapter. There have only been minor typo fixes from the preview build. Patrons -

Happy Friday, Mythies! Look at me trying to get all artsy and crap with the banner this week. First of all: Welcome to all the new patrons that joined this week after playing the preview! I hope you enjoy what's coming! In case some of you didn't know, the public preview build of Chapter One is up f

Hey, everybody! I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day. I have a late gift for you - a release date! Chapter One of Mythos: Book One will be releasing on Monday, February 22nd, 2021. For $5+ Patrons, this means that you will be getting the full Chapter One build today. But I'm not leaving the rest

Well, hey again folks! This week really flew by for me. "Why's that, Teri?" you ask, because you're truly interested in every aspect of my life. Because I took off from my day job for vacation all week. "That sounds nice," you reply, as you are genuinely happy for my time of rest, "did you do anythi

The basic premise of Mythos is that there's more beneath the surface of everything you see; and often more layers beneath that. As you work your way through the story, more of this world becomes unveiled -- various organizations, cabals, and mystical races all move silently behind the scenes, while

Happy February, True Believers! We have now survived a month in the post-2020 world, so... yeah, congratulations on that. "But Teri!" I hear you say, because you left your mic on and are broadcasting it on your Discord, "what news of Mythos?" I'll freakin' tell ya what news of Mythos -- Chapter One

This should be the final wave of character previews! Like last time, you may see one of these characters playing a small part in Chapter One. Seems like a lot of characters? Don't forget that this game is only Mythos Book One. There are other games planned for after this (unless this bombs incredibl

Hello, hello, hello! This week has been super busy for me -- unfortunately, I can't show you any of the renders I've done because it was all the naughty bits. It'd also be spoilers on who's getting naughty bits in Chapter One, and we can't have that, can we? Not only have I finished the first round

Here's a few more character previews to hold y'all over for a while! A few of these characters are actually in Chapter One, though as minor parts. Also, hey! Did you know the Mythos Discord server is open? You don't have to be a patron to join - you can just go here: https://discord.gg/skvd2sP Anywa

Happy Friday again, y'all!!! You may have noticed that I didn't do a Tuesday update this week - sorry about that! I'm driven to finish Chapter One to get this into your sticky little hands as soon as possible, so I'm working tirelessly toward that goal. But not just me! My wife has made a contributi

This was a productive week! I have now coded the entirety of the first day. The second day is shorter, so I'm now over halfway done with all the coding and writing of Chapter One! The coding of the story isn't the only work that's happening (else I'd probably be done the whole bloody thing, by now).

Hey there, true believers! This week was stressful. Very, very stressful -- and for non-Mythos reasons. I'm naturally not going to get into it, but I'm pretty sure everybody gets it. I'm mostly recovered today! Yet Mythos work has been continuing. With the new Ren'Py update, and help of a fantastic

We did it! We made it through 2020! Now everything is fixed, right? COVID is cured, the world is at peace... oh... oh, crap, we're still here. Well, regardless -- I'm determined to make 2021 a better year than 2020 was, and I'm dragging you all screaming into the happiness right along with me! 😡 So

Jessica Lee: Hello Baltimore, and good evening! I'm Jessica Lee with WETT Channel 3 news, and joining us in the studio tonight, as part of our series on the upcoming game Mythos, is... Eris. The developer of Harem Highland. Another game. Thanks for coming, Eris! Eris Discordia: Thanks for having me,

Happy Holidays to everyone! I'd thought about making a nice little Christmas-themed render for Mythos, but I figured it was time better spent actually putting more work into the game itself. Especially since I had to re-render an entire scene because B's hood was clipping into her shoulders. As such

Jessica Lee: Good evening, Baltimore! Thanks for tuning in. Our guest tonight is our final interview of characters in the upcoming game “Mythos.” Lisa Harrison: If you even count me as a character. JL: Oh, we certainly do! You’ve emerged as a bit of a fan favourite, actually. LH: Because people want

Greetings, lore nerds!!! Next week is Christmas. Fuck. 2020 is almost over, and hopefully next month is going to bring us the first chapter of Mythos! And that's primarily what we're going to be talking about, today. But first - I got interviewed! LewdPixels (http://lewdpixels.com) interviewed me as

If there was one thing Jessica Lee couldn’t stand, it was being denied. Perhaps it was a childish sort of mindset, yet it wasn’t borne of any sort of life-long pampering. From a very early age, she’d been a bit “different”. It lead to relentless taunting from other children as she was growing up, an

Heya, friends! Happy Friday! Work on Mythos is... continuing! This week was almost all coding-based; there was an actual bit of code I had to do involving B that is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but hopefully you'll all get a kick out of it. Also laying the groundwork for Achievemen

(Developer's Note: Rain speaks with a "Bawlmer (Baltimore) Accent". For the uninitiated, it means she says "hon" a lot, and a "unique" pronunciation of some words - such as Tuesday being Tuesdee, iron being arn, etc - may seem like odd typoes, but I assure you they are intentional. It's a sort of di

ALRIGHT. I believe I can now say, safely and with finality, that my computer is no longer plagued with BSOD errors! After my update last week, I had one... almost immediately. Comic timing, hah. But this time it actually gave me a source for my woes - intelppm.sys. Once I fixed that all up, I haven'

Jessica Lee: Just... "B"? That's not short for anything? B: Oh, it is! JL: Great! What's your full name, then? B: B-yootiful. JL: (Sigh) Right. Well, I'm glad to see you came dressed professionally, at least. B: Well, of course! I have to look my best for the interview. Stage Manager: And we're on i

For all of my American friends, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! For the rest of the world, um... I hope... your Thursday was nice? In tech news - I'm going to stop saying that I've solved my blue screen error issue, because every time I do that they come right back. The good news is that they'r

Jessica Lee: No! He really said that?! Sophia: It is true! The eulogy was actually pretty funny, at times! Stage Manager: And we’re live in five… four… three… JL: Good evening, Baltimore! Tonight we continue our weekly interviews with the cast of the upcoming game Mythos. Our guest today is Miss Sop

I just wanted to put a big picture of Tara to start this week's update, since she just went through a little remodel. Other than her pants now becoming shorts (a change which everyone seems to like), I converted her model from Genesis 3 to Genesis 8. If you don't know what that means, don't worry ab

Jessica Lee: Please don't put your feet up on there... Tara Norwood: Why? You told me to make myself comfortable. Yer lucky I left my boots on! JL: But that's not wh-- Stage Manager: Jessica! We're live! JL: (Pauses, then puts a brightly smiling face) Good evening! I'm Jessica Lee, sitting down with

A Friday the 13th in 2020? What's the worst that can happen? Well, I actually did get some bad medical news from my family today, but it's not the most horrible thing. Otherwise, it's been the normal level of 2020 suck I've come to expect. But y'all don't wanna hear about my personal life - you're h

Jessica Lee: Good evening! I'm Jessica Lee, and here with me are the main characters from the upcoming game Mythos. Or... rather... I guess only one of you is the main character? How does this work? Ky: Thanks, Jessica. So at the very start of the game, the player chooses which of us they want to pl

I'll sum up how my week has mostly gone by using Kylie (the female MC) as my proxy: It's been a week of stress. Almost none of it is game-related, however, so I'll just leave it at that. 💜 I've hit a minor setback as I've started rendering Sophia's intro - some parts of her skin just don't quite wo

Happy Halloween, true believers! Let's just start with the bad news and get it out of the way; my new computer is not up-and-running as I thought it would be. Well, technically it is. You see, I received the machine on Tuesday, as per the estimated date - but the RTX 3080 video card was defective. T

Why, yes, I know this Patreon just went live last night, but I plan to give updates on the state of the game every Friday. I'm not going to slack off on that just because the announcement is one day old! That's the first shot you see in the game (assuming you pick the female main character, of cours

I'm really doing this thing! My new rendering PC should be here next week, which means the real heavy lifting behind creating Mythos will be underway. For those just stumbling upon this project without prior knowledge of what it is - Hi! I'm Teri, author of Mythos, an adult game that's not out yet.
