State of affairs! Update schedule! What to expect!

Hey meow, a quick announcement about the recent delays since WPAFW in October!When the itchio situation unfolded mid-way through the year, I was, financially, scared!!! I felt like I had to take on a part-time day job just to cover my bases. I hoped it would improve my productivity to have more of a work-life balance, while also helping to pay my rent. I only realized how heavily it was cutting into development time very recently, and as soon as I did, I put in my two weeks so that I can give th...

Perfect Girlfriend [v.0.4]: Patreon Edition

Good aftermewn! As so often tends to be the case with me, I got really, REALLY carried away with this one. It's been a while since I touched anything with Perfect Girlfriend, and I felt compelled to really dig my claws in this time, so I could deliver on something special! It took longer, but I exceeded my original plans to just add in a punishment system-- I also completely revamped the gameplay loop!Rather than performing one encounter each day before immediately returning to bed, you must...

Perfect Home [v.1.14.1]: Patreon Edition

Good evening, folks! Thanks for bearing with me again-- I intended to post this update much MUCH sooner, but I've just, continually been getting held back by EVERYTHING these past couple of months. Early on in June, I caught a REALLY bad respiratory infection while I was out at pride. It completely laid me out and I had to delay things for the sake of my health! (I'm getting mildly sick and tired of random acts of God putting me behind on all my projects, between this and that one massiv...

Perfect Home [v.1.13]: Patreon Edition

Meowdy folks! Thank you so much, once again, for your patience with me-- there were a lot of Overall Weird Circumstances that slowed me down for the past few weeks. As I stated in the discord, there was a huge storm that hit Pittsburgh early this month. It took the power out and set back my progress dramatically, especially because, while I was working on Perfect Home, I was also focusing on a personal project of significant importance to me at the time, preparing a horror game so that I could a...

Meowing After the Break!

Meowdy folks! Thank you for bearing with me in the aftermath of the strawberry game jam-- I seriously needed that break period to get my ducks in a row. It's a huge relief to have gotten so many of my affairs squared away in that time, between navigating insurance issues, taxes, dental work, moving, and in-between all of that,building up slightly more of a backlog of content to release for the project...... so my "break period" didn't actually feel like that much of a break I gue...

General Update: The Cat You'll Never Forget

Meowdy folks! I hate keeping y'all in the dark-- I announced in the discord that I released a new project for Strawberry Jam 9, an annual kink-focused game jam, but it took all my spoons (and the integrity of my sleep schedule) for that entire month to finish it at all, and immediately after THAT I came down with a pretty bad cold! I'm already feeling a lot better, but that's why I didn't say anything here on patreon. Apologies for that!The Cat You'll Never Forget is what I&#...

Perfect Home [v.1.12]: Patreon Edition

Meowdy again, folks! I've been SO BUSY lately! Partly for reasons I mentioned in the server announcements, but also with just a lot of work in general... which feels silly to say when I haven't posted as much as I usually prefer to.I realize I took on a few more projects than I should have all at once, with how excited I was to start the year off strong-- I've posted before about a visual novel and how excited I am to release it, and it really is finished now, save for an editing pas...

Perfect Home [v.1.11.2]: Patreon Edition

Meowwwwwdy folks!~ Thank you all for being patient with me while I enjoyed my portion of the holidays! Like I mentioned in the previous post, I was REALLY burned out from working so hard and for so long on the same batch of content. Thisone introduces a little more variety, and being able to bounce between a bunch of different scenes helped me move waymore quickly than I did when I was just throwing myself at a bat repeatedly...This update is meant to make good on a few of my promises for Flores...

Perfect Home [v.1.11.1]: Patreon Edition

Hey guys! I'm sorry I was so inconsistent this last month or so-- I always prided myself on being able to communicate better about expectations, but I just ended up dealing with a lot more than I thought I'd have to, between my mom's recent surgeries and other interpersonal this-and-that. It made it very difficult to sit down and work at the brisk clip I normally can when everything's going smoothly, like at the beginning of this year. Coupled with the sheer scale of work that ha...

Perfect Girlfriend [v.0.3.1]: Patreon Edition

BWUGH. This month MIGHT be one of the most hectic ones I've had in a really long time. First came Anthrocon, then a fight with covid over a week, and THEN getting my roommate moved out of my apartment, and a few little emotional up-and-downs to season July for taste.If I didn't have so much work written up ahead of time I'm unsure if I would have been able to publish this update on time, and for that matter, I'm worried I might require more time in order to finish writing/impleme...

Perfect Home [v.1.10.2]: Patreon Edition

Meowdy, folks! I've really had my paws full getting ready for Anthrocon this year, and even after AC, I'll have a LOT to take care of/move around on the IRL side of things... to say nothing of how prepping for the visual novel, Perfect Girlfriend, and other games/projects has kept me tangled up. I'm spinning a lot of plates! But I feel comfortable with the sheer amount of work I've managed to get done in advance, giving me ample buffer with which to keep 'em spinning, and thi...

Bug Fixes for 1.10.1!

Hey folks! I didn't realize that some aspects of the recent update weren't as carefully play-tested as I initially thought they were. Because I've been so far ahead of schedule, I've had more time to test updates, but this time there were just a few oversights. I updated the download links with the new versions! Thank you all so much for your patience.

Perfect Home [v.1.10.1]: Patreon Edition

Happy pride month! The fact that this update focuses so heavily on demons and sinning and gender transformation, on the first of June, is entirely a coincidence. But... hey! We'll own it!I'm REALLY happy I've been able to maintain the trend I set out with at the beginning of the year, in regards to releasing so many big updates with such consistency. THIS one introduces a new (if late) feature to celebrate Mayternity, a bunch of new scenes related to imps and demon summoning, the abi...

Perfect Home [v.1.9]: Patreon Edition

With how much attention I've given Felicity as a character all throughout the game, I was a bit unsure of how huge of an undertaking it would be to give the player a say in their gender. As it turns out, it wasn't that big of a deal at all! Just goes to show how much more on top of everything I've been since the start of the new year I guess, because I was able to adjust the pronouns in basically all their scenes within a week, and I STILL had a ton of free time on my hands to polish...

Perfect Girlfriend [v.0.2]: Patreon Edition

So back in 2022, I thought it'd be a fun, quick-and-easy April Fool's bit to make Perfect Girlfriend: an update of Perfect Home which patches out Citrine, and you just play as Felicity going around as a cute pink cat, doing cute pink cat things. It WAS fun, but, uh, not really quick, or easy, to reinvent the wheel and make a whole new game in the course of less than a month. I have vivid memories of SERIOUSLY burning myself out, so much that I wasn't able to push myself to iron out b...

Perfect Home [v.1.8]: Patreon Edition

Meowdy, folks! I've had this update ready to go for a couple of weeks now-- not only have I been able to add in a LOT more content per update than I have in a very long time, but we're also really ahead of schedule! It's made for a really pleasant feedback loop. Not having to worry about the deadline means I feel more comfortable writing for the game, which means each update is a lot larger than what's been the standard throughout 2023. It's neat!In similar fashion to the wor...

Perfect Home [v.1.7]: Patreon Edition

Meowdy! So, a lot of 2023 was really, really, REALLY eventful for me specifically-- it lead to a lot of the game's updates not being as rich in content as I would have liked. This year however, I'm feeling a lot more ambitious, and I'm planning on adding in a lot more content and mechanics per each update-- starting with this one!It's focusing predominantly on another of those mechanics I've had in the game for forever but never really did anything with, inspired only partial...
