Art Preview: Brood Mother
Everyone's favourite straight-talking prole is back, in this new illustrated sequence by Lubbio! I'm glad Enid is getting comfortable in her new role.

2021-07-27 14:55:49 +0000 UTC View PostI like to talk about exciting months, and July has definitely been an exciting month.
First up, there's a new update out - pop on over to Itch to get your copy! This is technically still an interim update (we're busy working on the next major version, 4.3.0), but it's hardly light on content.
Part of that is thanks to Irrelevant Art joining...
2021-07-25 10:44:19 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you missed the wonderful news on Discord, our character artist Irrelevant Art is now working for us full time! This means we can do a lot more by way of costume changes, and other cool things.
You'll see a fine batch of his work in the update this weekend - including the opportunity to redress Maelys, in whatever Marie-Anne could find around the l...
2021-07-22 10:21:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a little over two years since the first version was released. We have accomplished incredible things in that time: our game is now over half a million words long, with a thousand pictures, five hours of voice acting, and ten fully animated scenes. The team has grown from one person to a host, all working in concert. We stand on the threshold of our final Act, and we’re ready for the...
2021-07-14 07:36:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a short spell of illness, Lubbio is back - and back on form! He's illustrated a beautiful sequence where Sabetha kindly helps Inej get over some of her... hesitancies.
Ravager: now with tanlines.
2021-07-06 07:58:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnother month, another release, and another State Of The Realm post!
June has been a good month for us. Our framework update was successful, and has slain our two greatest foes: the recurring memory error, and the dreaded black box. We've also released v4.2.4, with a bundle of new content for you all.
I am now working on v4.3.0, which is our next ma...
2021-06-28 09:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostOur girl Maelys has been with us since the very first set of character portraits, done back in 2019 by 6lushy. And now, courtesy of Irrelevant Art, she's getting a fresh lick of paint.
Quite the glow-up, I'd say.
2021-06-24 07:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostLubbio is back with another beautiful illustrated sequence - this time, putting pictures to Marie-Anne's heartwarming tale of life in the farmstead.
2021-06-14 13:07:51 +0000 UTC View PostThis lovely illustration was drawn by NevanNox (Foundry, Twitter), and commissioned by the magnificent Rayn - who is keen to share it with you all. A beautiful family portrait, I'd say.
2021-06-07 08:56:29 +0000 UTC View PostAnother glorious month in the development mines! And a fruitful one, too.
We have our first two updates out for 4.2.x, including a significant start on our dreamweaver scenes. And we have another bonus release, coming out very soon. RenPy's framework has been updated, and with it are the tools to fix our two most annoying bugs: the black box, and memory c...
2021-06-03 11:31:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe hit a very exciting milestone last month: we finally got caught up on all of our scene art! Which means we can start to illustrate our fate scenes.
Darja's Infernal fate was the first one voted for, and Lubbio has done an amazing job of it. There will be more, once our new Dreamweaver scenes are illustrated - if you're a Benefactor ($10) or above, pop on over to
Lubbio isn't the only artist who's been hard at work. As our lovely naga is getting... some narrative attention as of late, it feels like a good time to give her a makeover. And Irrelevant Art has done exactly that, with a new portrait and some retouched emotes.
2021-05-24 07:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're keen to get the latest on the game's development, and make the most of your patron privileges, I recommend you head over to our Discord server. There's an invite link in the game's main menu, and you can follow this guide to link it with your Patreon acc...
2021-05-04 07:58:16 +0000 UTC View PostWe did it! The Pale Rock release is out, and I'm really pleased with it. I hope you are too.
In the immediate future, we'll be putting out our enhanced release (4.2.1). This is mostly to fix the bugs that people have encountered, but - as is our tradition - it also contains a whole bunch of new content, as a sweetener.
Speaking of bugs, we've expanded Tosk's
Work has begun on our first update to 4.2. Alongside our usual fixes and improvements, it will feature more art and VA - including this excellent sequence by Lubbio. Make your own 'milking' joke here.
2021-04-27 07:56:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt's here, and it's bigger than we had dreamed. Head on over to Itch to pick yourself up a copy.
Thanks to a huge collaboration between our entire team, we have our largest and most ambitious sequence yet - the Assault On Pale Rock, with literally dozens of variants depending on your choices leading up to and during it.
We also have the section ...
2021-04-20 17:05:50 +0000 UTC View PostHave you been naughty? Do you want to watch the world burn? Or just want hoof pics? The fiend with the foremost is back, with Lubbio's illustration of the ritual before Pale Rock.
2021-04-13 07:39:45 +0000 UTC View PostOur man Lubbio is back with our latest image set - this time, exploring a bit of Cooch after her morning routine. If you're a senior patron, be sure to hop onto Discord and vote for what you'd like to see illustrated next!
2021-04-07 09:25:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe best gifts are homemade. Or home-grown, as is the case here.
A snippet of Lubbio's latest image set, which will be in the next version! And yes, there are special variants if you've given Mina her lovely new dress.
2021-03-30 08:33:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey there, dragon fans! March has been a very productive month for us. We've been mostly busy on our largest project so far - Assault On Pale Rock. The script is finished, clocking in at an impressive 65 pages long. It has been our first whole-team collaboration, and it has turned out very well. Kudos to all of our writers for their industry, patience, and enthusiasm throughout...
2021-03-28 11:18:13 +0000 UTC View PostTwo years ago, version 1.0 was uploaded to Itch. It included most of what we now recognise as Act I, and a little of Act II. It was lovingly rendered with a bunch of characters from an anime avatar generator, and some second-hand scene art (borrowed with permission). It was downloaded by 100 people.
Today, the game is coming to the end of Act IV, and is played by about 40,000 people world...
2021-03-19 08:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostA little while ago I was approached by Spicy Gaming, to talk about the game and the process behind it. That interview is now available online - including a couple of exclusive previews, a few hot takes, and a full transcript at the bottom of the page.
If you'd like ...
2021-03-09 10:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostWe are still hard at work on the next major update, but we do have a tradition to uphold: the noble interim release, a compilation of new material and media that has finished in the meanwhile. This interim release is the biggest we've ever made - thanks to our writers, artists, voice talent, and coders for doing so much in the last few weeks.
Version 4.1.7 is available to backers...
2021-03-05 15:10:39 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing as how Chanwe has undergone so much, err, character development in the latest release, it's only appropriate that she gets an art update to match. And here she is, courtesy of Irrelevant Art!
2021-03-04 09:28:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks! The winter doldrums are finally over, and things are looking up in the content factory.
The last release of 4.1 is out and pleasingly stable. But we're not keen to rest on our laurels - our head code monkey Tosk is testing out a potential technical workaround that will (maybe) get rid of the dreaded black box and memory crashes for good (probably).
We've s...
2021-03-01 10:37:39 +0000 UTC View PostAs we approach Act V and the restoration of your rightful rule, it is only proper that you have a suitable flag - no flag, no country, after all. And this strikes me as a marvellous opportunity to open up the field to those who would like to design one.

Hello, dragon fans! After a pretty furious crunch period, version 4.1.6 is out. You can pick up your copy over on Itch, and patrons can get hold of an uncompressed version via Discord.
That finishes off the body of this major release, which means it's time to start work in earnest on 4.2 - the climactic Assault On...
2021-02-17 09:23:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey there folks! 4.1.5 was released last night. I'm currently working on an enhancement patch to fix the few bugs that slipped through, and add some new content that didn't quite make the deadline.
Like this little moment of seeing eye-to-eye with your lovely elven waifu, rendered in gorgeous detail by Lubbio.
Recently, a few of our more touching moments have snuck into the content polls for illustration, over on Discord. And the second of those to win is Marie-Anne's soothing petting scene, rendered in glorious detail here by Lubbio. Doesn't she look inviting?
2021-02-03 10:47:38 +0000 UTC View PostJanuary has come and gone, and I am glad it has done so - January was a cursed month for us, putting many of our team out of action at one time or another (myself included), and necessitating some unfortunate delays (this monthly dev post included).
Fortunately, we're a team effort, and we managed to keep the engines running regardless. Version 4.1.4 has been rel...
