The day has come! No longer must you languish in wonder what happens after that laser blast -- Chapter Two has arrived! Note that Chapter 2 comes with Chapter 1; no need to download the previous version (and it's deleted off the servers, anyway). With this update, you get: Chapter 2 of the story (13

Happy Friday, people! Or... not-people, depending on who you may be. You know who you are. It's time for our weekly update! YAY! But wait... why does it say BIG Friday Update? Because there's big news! I hope you're sitting down for this. Unless you're at one of those stand-up desks, I guess. Not my

Note: I have a feeling someone may ask for it, so I've attached a textless version of this week's update header image. Ahhh, September! This means that hopefully the wretched time of Summer will be at an end and I can stop cranking my air conditioning to levels that make Morgana toddle around in a b

Holy crap, did I ever burn through some scenes this week! I know, each sub-section of this chapter isn't a "scene" per se, but a realization hit me as I was looking through my Chapter Two renders to put up the previews this week. Chapter One came in at about 480 renders. Before I started "Teri's Ele

Why did I make this scene so bloody complicated? Happy Friday, everybody!!! This week has been me working non-stop on Chapter Two. I took the week off work to do so, and I was hoping that it'd be enough time to completely finish Scene 11. I was naive. I dug too greedily and too deep. It turns out th

Friday the 13th! Spoooooky!!! Hey, again! It's time for me to tell you that, once again, this Chapter is a *bitch* to wrestle with. Breaking it down into subsections is just going to make it look weird the way I kinda work in a non-linear fashion; I go scene-by-scene, but within that scene I'm all o

So good news! I put out the second beta build this week, and the testers encountered minimal problems! The bad news -- two of those problems were in the animations, which take absolutely the most time to fix. For you folks who like to count renders as an indication of how big an update is, add about

With the final touches wrapping up on "Ohmigod You Guys", I'll be sending out the second beta build to my testers sometime next week. This one is going to have the naughty scene added, most of the music in place, and those fancy little VFX things that I'm now just putting in any chance I get. I rest

Friday! Friday! Woo! For starters, I wanna thank everyone who participated in the "Ask the Cast"! It's definitely something I'm going to want to do again, but that will be after Chapter Two is released so you all will have a bunch of new questions for the Mythos folks. It wasn't all just fictional i

It's Friday, and I got a day off work! Not that it gives me much free time; it was for a doctor's appointment and car maintenance. But let's talk about Mythos, first! This week was completely devoted to finishing the sex scene and all the animations that went along with it. Eagle-eyed followers may

This week has been one of adjustment, for sure. I figured Morgana's new job wouldn't really affect me very much, but since she's sleeping during the day I can't just sneak onto my home PC to do work. Not that I could this week -- my mortal job was super busy! This week I decided to start work on the

It's July! Holy crap is it hot out there. I believe I have finally hunted and squished all the bugs in the first beta test, which means I can resume forward progress on Chapter Two this long weekend. Some of the "fixes" needed for Chapter Two resulted in new renders needing to be made, just to make

(Teri's Note: Warning! This interview doesn't really have any Chapter One spoilers, but you should still check out the character interviews that came before this one -- just look at the "Character Interview" tag to see them all! Also, this interview is directly connected with the Bodymore Times arti

It's not Friday, but you're getting an update! Why? Because I'm going to be working a 12-16 hour day tomorrow, and I don't think I'll have any time to do any Mythos work at all. Actual progress on the game is temporarily paused. Oh no! Has something happened? Yes -- but a good thing. The completion

It's hard to believe that my "to do" list is so short, now! I feel like I've been working on Chapter Two forever (though I'm really about on the same pace as I was for Chapter One). Incidentally, I should probably refer to the Chapters by their titles; "Good Mourning Baltimore" for Chapter One, and

It's a rainy Friday here in Baltimore, but my spirits are high! That "things to do" list keeps getting shorter, though wait... there's something new down there under "in progress"? What's going on? After conversing with a few other devs who have gotten on (or are in the process of getting on) Steam,

It's June, everybody! We're almost halfway through 2021, and it seems a drastic improvement over 2020. I mean... stuff still sucks for the most part, but it's not a daily dumpster fire, so... progress. Yay. Speaking of progress, I didn't get quite as much done this week as I'd have liked (see the pe

It was a pretty productive week! Once I got the interiour fully decorated, the scene itself was completed pretty rapidly; I didn't have to do any re-renders or re-writes. Well... at least until the beta testers get a hold of it. Speaking of beta testing - once I've finished "Welcome to Hogwarts," "O

Oooh, yes it feels good to have gotten that scene finally done! Some characters are a little trickier to get into the correct mindset for, so I had to do other things and keep coming back to the writing on that one. People have been theorizing about things going on in Mythos, which I love love love

This was a pretty good week, all things considered! Unfortunately, today I've started feeling sick so I'm gonna make this short and sweet. Things Completed: - Scene: "Who Let the Dogs Out?" - Scene: "It Just B Like That" - Scene: "Trying to Cross the Border, Right?" - Scene: "Y'all Call Back Now, Y'

Hey, hey, hey, it's me again! Despite my second vaccine shot hitting me pretty hard, I did manage to get stuff done! Among other things is the Jessica Lee redesign (which you can see above). This won't mean much to people who haven't read the character interviews, of course -- but Jessica Lee is goi

Heh, neat! Patreon apparently thinks that picture of Sophia is "adult content." I guess she's hotter than I thought. But anyway... Happy Friday, and happy End-of-April, all you Mythos people! I hope the week treated you well. This is Teri personal-life stuff, so if you only care about the game part

Happy Friday again, Mythos fans! Note that from now on, Friday Updates are going to be "image posts". This means you'll see the header image above the article, which is cool. but it also means you can click on the image to see it in full size -- which is good, because I like this image a lot. Work h

Warning - Spoilers for anybody who (somehow) hasn't finished Chapter One, yet! You've probably already figured this out, but basically every character in Mythos has some secret or another. Sometimes it's a hidden identity (like Rain being a Fae) or sometimes it's something a character doesn't even k

Hey again, Mythies! I actually made super good progress the first part of this week! I got a lot done, which is good because the last two days I was completely useless! :D It's all about balance. I really want to get a character interview up for y'all soon, but I'm actually a little stumped on how t

Woo! This has been a week. Yup. Seven days. That... that constitutes a week, yes. Last week I mentioned having to re-write a scene three times. I was falling into a loop of self-doubt about things, because I want Chapter Two to be at least as enjoyable for everybody as Chapter One. I talked to some

After losing their lead guitarist a week ago under weird-as-hell circumstances, the Gargle

Happy Friday, you April Fools! I was considering doing something for April Fool's Day, but there were some happenings this week in my non-Mythos life that interfered. The oddest of which actually happening on April Fool's Day -- I was awoken at 7:00 AM by a woman screaming outside of my window. She

Happy End-of-March, everybody! It seems like just yesterday I had my heat on, but today I got my air conditioning running! Oh... it was just yesterday I had my heat on. Maryland weather. Anyway, this is my progress update, so let's talk about progress! The first scene is complete. Technically. I've

You know what I hate? Daylight Savings Time. It always takes me a full week to adjust to this outdated crap, and during this week I'm just continually sleepy and irritable. Add some nasty cramps on top of that, and this has just been a real shitty week. With me being in my unnecessarily-time-shifted

And we're off! Chapter Two is now completely plotted out, and the writing and renders have begun! Bear in mind, this Chapter will be a lot less linear than the first, with you being able to pick some scenes out of order, and one scene being completely different based on a choice you make. Chapter Tw

Before we get started - the date format in the image is day - month - year; I didn't get the date wrong! Now that we got that out of the way, my first week of working on Chapter Two was pretty productive, though I don't have anything to physically show you for it. I could show you the outline of eve

Hello, hello, hello my true believers! Hopefully by now everyone has played through Chapter One (point one) of Mythos. If you haven't, you may wanna stop reading here -- every Friday Update from this point forward is going to be discussing Chapter Two. Wow, it feels good to finally change to that ta

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

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

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

So as I was trying to plan out Chapter Two character interviews to hold you over until the Chapter One release, it became quickly apparent that I couldn't tell you really much of anything about these folks without spoiling stuff in Chapter One. Just their names and glimpses of their personalities --
