Update 26th May '24 (Patreon)

This week I think I finally broke the back of the Artificial Scylla.

8 of her tentacles are fully written and typed up. 4 are coming along nicely. That just leaves 1 I haven't started, but as that's the 'death' choice, it's a fairly straightforward run to a Bad End and should be less complex than the others.

She also now has a name - Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid. (Think of her first name as 'Ruberia'.)

I'm currently playing around with her mechanics. The initial idea I had for determining whether the player survived ended up being a little too harsh, so I'm currently tweaking that a little.

Overall she's easily the most complex harlot scenario so far. She might even be more complex and longer in word count than my original "Escape the" mini-scenarios. Ironically, if I'd known I'd be creating scenarios like this, House of Hellish Harlots would likely have been a much more manageable game with just 10 harlots (but with more detailed scenarios).

Ah, but that's enough bitching. I'm making progress and the final game will be better for it!

It will be tight, but barring unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to complete Rwberia and put a proper release out by the end of the month (or very soon after depending on implementation and testing).

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to keep the other things on hiatus while working on this. I think I need a few weeks of sustained focus on the HoHH round 5 mini-bosses to get that project back on schedule again. More on those plans after I get the artificial scylla release out!

Thank you for the support.
