The art preview for this week is the scorpion-tailed 'pleasure' assassin, Sasori Oiran.
I wasn't sure what version of her the art should depict. She presents herself to the player as a geisha-style courtesan, but beneath her robes has the body of a ninja assassin.
Marwmellow went with the assassin look while keeping her painted-white geisha face, which fits perfectly I think. Ve...

This week I really got stuck into the harlot notebook code.
It's still slow and very fiddly, but this is mostly due to me painstakingly getting the documentation up to date and trying to properly template the process.
One thing I changed was to write the 100% completed section first. For the earlier harlots there was a lot of "then the harlot did this", which isn't really relevan...

Typical post-holiday confusion. This was supposed to go out yesterday, but I got my days mixed up and thought yesterday was Monday for some reason.
This is the adorable slime girl pair of Squidgii and Squishii. Unfortunately, they're quite lethal, which is why The Madam places them in the high-tier. On the positive side, they do make their visitors extremely comfortable, even if most ...

It's been a fairly chaotic holiday season, but I think things for me are roughly getting back to normal. As I was ill in bed for most of last week I figured I'd replace the regular update post with a post detailing my (rough) plans for 2026.
First up:
House of Hellish Harlots
This will be my main focus for the year. As I mentioned in the recap earlier in the we...

Not actually ready in time for Christmas, sadly. I wanted to make sure the proof copies looked okay, and they were held up in the Christmas post.
Fortunately, the print-on-demand version looks okay, so I've made it go live on the Amazon store. You can find it here:

Ugh, this is a couple of days later than planned. Normally I don't do much for the holidays, so I'm able to carry on working through mostly unchanged. This year was a little busier and then I've been knocked on my ass by whatever flu bug is floating around, making the holiday season a bit of a trainwreck.
A metaphor for the year?
It's been a strange one. Normally, if I'd deviated...

Christmas season has been a little more busy than normal and the one day I do have free, I'm stuck in bed with something.
I was going to replace this with a full end-of-year recap post, but I'm feeling like shite at the moment. Hopefully I'll get that out tomorrow or Tuesday.
Apologies.

My schedule is a little spotty over the Christmas period for obvious reasons. I felt I should drop something nice just before Christmas Day.
Here is the last of the harlot pinups for the artificial beings faction - Llefrith SWMP-08.
While the Elitas are fairly aloof and mysterious, I wanted Llefrith SWMP-08 to be more straightforward and business-like. The Elitas are charged wit...

This was a slightly sluggish week going into the holiday period.
The next art commission order has been placed. One of the pieces is a cover for the A Succubus for Valentine's Day collection. Of more interest is I also added the imp harem to that batch, marking it the first time I've commissioned a harlot pinup before writing the scenario. I do have their descriptions and var...

My first collection, A Succubus for Christmas, now has a new cover.
This was supposed to celebrate me getting a new print version out, but I managed to bungle that. It's ready, but I want to order and check a print proof first to make sure there aren't any errors.
Unfortunately, thanks to the various HoHH releases, I left it a little late getting the full coverflat ready...

With the recent slew of HoHH releases out of the way, it's time to get back to the art previews.
Here are The Doctoress's elite milking androids, Elita-05 and Elita-07. I wanted a pair of sleek, doll-like androids and marwmellow delivered.

Just a quick update post today as most of it was covered in the release notes for the HoHH updates put out this week.
I put out two releases for HoHH1.5 (the art version) this week. The first was a boring one that reorganised where the various harlot and other house data was initialised. The second was a big art change that gave each harlot their own unique background as well as sneaki...

I delayed this a day because I was waiting on a... surprise, which I've been able to add to the release. ;)
The last release had quite a few code changes, but (hopefully) didn't change a great deal for the player.
This is the opposite. It's a few minor code changes (including some bug fixes), but the player should see a big difference when playing it.

Given that the controversy over generative AI has ramped up, I thought I'd put out a post with my own thoughts, along with a declaration of where and why I use it for the House of Hellish Harlots game project.
Personally, I regard it as another tool in the toolkit. A human artist is nearly always better (and they will draw boobies for you without having to worry about "Content M...

And the new release is ready.
This is an internal re-organisation release to ease me back into hacking code again after taking a couple of months off to get the new book out. And also to stabilise the codebase so I can get back to adding new features without worrying about random things breaking. As such, it's not too exciting for players as it's more of a "just check it's working the ...

I was hoping to drop a new HoHH 1.5 release either yesterday or today, but I need a little more time on that.
Most of the stabilising has been done. When I added autosave and notebook functionality, it got a bit messy with where the data was being initialised and I managed to break most of my individual module testing. I've cleaned most of that up and now all my separate tests are work...

And we're onto the high tier harlot art previews. These are planned to show up in rounds 10-12, so it will be a while before this art makes it into the art version of the game.
(However, the high-tier scenarios are already in the text-only version of the game, where they can currently show up in any round.)
This is N3P-NTHes, the artificial pitcher plant girl. She might be one o...

After a couple of break days, this week I was back on HoHH.
To ease myself back (and remember what most of the code does), I'm currently tidying up the various Init passages that determine where data is initialised. In the original codebase, this was pretty much all done in the StoryInit passage and then again on the start of the new run. However, I now have harlot notebook data that p...

Continuing with the art previews, here is Anna Boa. I think I might have snuck her art out earlier, so I'll add a few behind-scenes comments.
Despite having her boobs covered up, I've had very little luck in getting a good animation of her from grok. Monster girls are still an issue for AI. It struggles to keep track of the tail and also gives it a snake head whenever I add "snake tai...

This week was print book boot camp.
I was supposed to put out print versions back in 2022 after I re-published all my existing books under my own name. It didn't happen for one reason or another, and I didn't want the same thing happening again.
Formatting ebooks is fairly straightforward. Formatting print books is slightly more annoying as you have to worry about things like gu...

(Any similarities between the hounds and GW's Slaaneshi demons is purely... ahem... coincidental...)

Unsurpisingly a fair bit of the week was taken up with promotion and similar things.
