No Longer Flailing in the Dark
The new Crescyt Content Progress screen! Accessible from your housing cell and (hopefully) user-friendly. Includes a short passage to guide to the content when you click on 'em.I also found some unreported bugs in the code, so another benefit to this. A thank-you to the new players that gave the feedback that led to this being created!I'm most happy that the story titles I'm so pettily proud of actually get to be displayed IN GAME and not just a changelog.
2025!
Happy New Year, all.For those who've watched IBH come back from the dead and finally start to live up to its potential - thank you. And to those who just arrived, welcome to the ride!

Big things in your lives, big things in mine. Here, hopefully we'll get to look back on all of 2024 and High Crescyt as...
The Next City in IBH

Generics and What's Next and When(ish)
A brief update on the update at the end of this month, and some new generic portraits. They can come attached to important side characters, but you'll also probably see them pop up all over High Crescyt and beyond for one-off dialogues and people you only meet in passing.v0.2.5 is almost donebut turned out to be longer and more complicated than I intended - if you've been around here for long, that's a familiar sentence.

Gothic Menus & Green's Gone
Worked on this a couple weeks ago. I am, as stated, a monkey slapping keys in Atom and I finally figured out how to make the UI not default-as-fuck. The menu is now vaguely theme-appropriate, the menus are all gothic-ky and default names are white, not green. I'll be poking away at the game's UI and general appearance as the updates roll on. A marathon not a sprint kind of deal.Big thanks to @maroder#7487 on discord (and Patreon) for pointing out that the default puke-green Ren'Py me...
41M-Yefreytors and Peaked Cap Lore
On the 8-5 grind, still squeaking out an hour or two of work on the game most every day. If your auditor is an Apparatchik, get ready to learn every detail about the rank of 'Yefreytor' right after this - and also the sergeant's peaked cap?I looked that up. Mori sure now knows a lot more about peaked caps than he ever thought he would. There's military rigid round ones and octagonal soft-cover ones that are more for police and...Also the default character name color is white now....
No Bills, No Problems
Hello! I ought to remember more often - patreon is not discord. Updates on discord are, in fact, completely unseen here. So! Update on progress and the state-of-the-game.The update wasn't out "by the 24th or 25th", unfortunately. I am working on it - but it simply wasn't done. So, I have suspended billing for April. You didn't get charged today. I work full-time IRL, which is a blessing and a curse - that sucks up free time and energy, but I'm also not hurting for cash. I...
Update Explanations
First off - thank you. For a first-time dev releasing a v0.1, this kind of support was beyond any reasonable expectation. So thank you. All the compliments, reviews, discussion of the game, (and the money) is like electricity getting pumped directly into my creative batteries, as they were.Now we're looking at the future. What can you expect in the next update - and indeed, what is the template for updates? What's the plan - is there a plan? Is Mori just flying by the seat of his oversiz...
Server Scribblings #1
More content-filled posts from the #scribblings channel on the discord will be reposted here to Patreon periodically. Musings on future plotlines, concept art (like above), and so on.MECHSISTERSDiscussions with patrons (read: mutually nerding out over lore) have spawned some tech-priest character designs. A shy, reclusive data-entry specialist and her sister, a more tomboyish getting-my-hands-dirty 'proper' mechanic. Very divergent personalities reflected in the very different paths they...
v0.1 Demo Released!
Can't believe it's finished, and very glad to be done. If this bombs hard, I'll still be glad I put it out there. Hopefully someone enjoyed it. Expect an update within a month-ish, depending on if I get any patrons at all - closer to two months if this remains a starving hobby.Thank you for reading! Fingers crossed.Changelogv0.1 - 2022-02-22 Initial demo release 3 h-scenes Approximately 1 hour of content
