Sorry Update!

Hey all,

Sorry for the lack of communication through my blog and patreon lately. I will have an update for Rags to Riches by the end of the month and then I'll hopefully be able to clear up the mess I've made here. I am currently slowly working my way through commissions. If you are a commissioner and have any concerns or worries please do not hesitate to email me. I apologise for the delay.

Have a good week!

Important Update

Hello everyone.

I suppose this is an announcement of sorts.

In short, my drive to work on Rags to Riches has slowed to a near halt. Don't panic, I will continue to write and update; however I need to release myself of the stress it is causing me. This is my hobby, not my job. Progress on the game will continue slowly and at my own pace as I work on other projects, some furry and others private.

When I first set out to write 72 Hours, my main concern I had from learning from other writers was seeing how readily these projects can be abandoned. I planned to write a short game with a simple plot and a nice variety of scenes, as I saw that the commitment required for a large project was so hard to come by. Having completed my short game at 25,000 words, my ambition grew to work on something larger, Rags to Riches. From the start I pictured the game would perhaps grow to be 70,000-80,000 words long. Right now it sits at over 120,000 words and yet is hardly halfway complete. The game grows and grows as I come up with more and more ideas, and at this point my plan for it is inconceivably large from my perspective as I envision the final product potentially hitting around 300,000 words, should I ever complete everything I have planned.

It is my dream to complete this, but over the past month my progress on the game has slowed significantly; my commitment to finishing this is overshadowed by the immensity of the task. I want to turn my attention to other things. I need to focus on what I enjoy writing, and writing for this game has become a slog for me. I absolutely adore the world and characters I have created, and I will certainly not be leaving them behind. I will still continue to work on this game, albeit slowly, but I cannot handle the commitment necessary to give regular updates and satisfy patrons as well as I'd like.

My Patreon will be shut down next month. Current patrons will have access to a final poll next month and an exclusive cheat mode for the next version. Updates for the game will continue here, on my blog. I will still accept commissions independently and fully intend to complete those currently planned and in progress.

Working on this game for the past few months has been an amazing experience, and I can't thank you all enough for how you've responded to my work. I love this community so much, and I'm so glad I've been able to contribute something to it. To my supporters, my patrons and my friends: thank you so much for everything. I hope one day I am able to finish this, but for now, I'm going to take things at my own pace.

Thank you for your understanding.

Helloo!

Things are getting closer now. Should have an update ready in the next couple of weeks. It's been slow going, and the update is not at all as large as the last one, but that's just how things have been. I hope you can enjoy it regardless!

Have a good weekend! xx

Weekly Update - 07/07/18

Hello all!

Progress is very slow going right now to be honest. My hope is to have an update ready in a couple of weeks max, but I've been struggling to write content recently. My priority right now is on commissioned content, so that I can make sure I can fulfil those rewards that I've promised. I can only hope I can find a way to get back into the rhythm of things soon, but I can't say the next update will be particularly large. Sorry!

I've decided I'd like to take a different direction with this game now than I have planned previously. My plan originally was to use 0.5.0 to expand the castle and advance with the main story, but I feel that the stories of the individual characters are far more compelling than that. Therefore, I'll instead be working on the stories of characters in the town and castle, so then there are less loose ends left around the town. I'm pushing back the conclusion of the main story for a while, as I really want to focus on developing the existing cast now.

Hope that's alright for you all! Sorry I don't have brighter news, but hopefully I can get back to my normal routine of writing soon (:

Have a good weekend! xx

Weekly Update - 30/06/18

Happy Saturday all!

Not much to report today. I've taken some time off writing this week after 0.4.0 released, but I'll be getting back into rhythm of things on Monday. I may not do as much as I had planned in 0.4.1, as I'd rather not keep you guys waiting another month for new content. I'd rather release new stuff in smaller batches personally, so I'll see what I have ahead of me and prioritise content to get a release to you guys sometime mid July.

Have a good weekend everyone (:

Rags to Riches 0.4.0b

Hello!

Just a couple of bug fixes in this update. Thanks to everyone that pointed them out, it's very much appreciated!




Thanks!

Rags to Riches 0.4.0 + Public Poll

Hello!

It's finally ready; thank you for your patience! I am also starting another public poll, information at the bottom.

If you want to support the development of the game, you can pledge to me on patreon and get to see some work-in-progress scenes before anyone else!


Changenotes:

We're finally getting into the castle now, so here are all the ways of getting inside:
  • Seduce your way into the castle! Talk to Elias and he'll come up with his plan to get you inside. Introduced as Elias's brother, you can seduce the captain of the guard and get permanent access to his quarters, and the rest of the castle. This is currently the only way to get permanent access to the castle, but I hope to rectify that in the coming weeks.
  • Smuggle your way into the castle! Talk to Silas and he'll come up with his plan to get you inside. He's come up with a new transformation spell that will turn you into a feral version of your current form. Smuggled in as a horse, no-one will be any the wiser once you're inside. Just wait in the stables for a little bit until the transformation wears off and you're good to go. I should emphasise that there is no lewdness associated with the animal TF.
  • Corrupt your way into the castle! Corrupt Ricard and he'll come up with his plan to get you inside. In the disguise of a prisoner, your corrupted guard will walk you right through the gates! There's a little opportunity for some lewd action with the wolf once you're inside too... For now, there is no corruption material once you're inside the castle, but I hope to change this in version 0.4.1.
These routes are not mutually exclusive, so you can do all of them on the same game! It is possible to get in using exclusively M/M or exclusively M/F scenes, but the latter has less options. To avoid M/M content and get in the castle, you must break in via Silas after acquiring a horse transformation from Kyrin, a new character. Speaking of new characters, here's a list of everyone new to meet:
  • Captain Kruiss (Dragon) - I planned to add him a long time ago, but now he's finally here! Kruiss is a black dragon, the captain of the guard. You can meet him through Elias's heist plan.
  • Aihla (Dragon) - The captain's wife. You can find her sleeping with the servants in the castle. It's a happy marriage. Not much lewd content with her just yet, sorry! Expect it next time.
  • Hura (Eagle) - Hura is an exiled priest who will be drinking away his sorrows in the castle's Mess Hall. Go and comfort him!
  • Kyrin (Horse) - Kyrin is Yulius's kitchen assistant, and may now be encountered in a random event when navigating around Ighena after you meet her in Yulius's Kitchen. The shy horse has an unexpected side to her...
  • Dungeon Master (Bear) - Get caught trespassing in the castle and you'll get thrown in with this musky ursine. This content was a commission from a patron; you can commission your own character through my patreon.
This update also has some additional new content outside of these new main characters:
  • Transform into an Eagle or a Dragon! Collect the essence from the relevant species to unlock, then talk to Rache.
  • Aihla's servants. For 6 gold, you can spend the night with one of Aihla's servants. I hope to add more in the future, but right now this includes Yuki, a sheep boy, and Phie, a ferret girl.
  • Aihla's clients. Aihla also offers to let you sell yourself to her clients for money. You'll be paid more depending on your species. Certain species may even get tips from certain clients. For now, there is only one client, but there will certainly be more to come!
  • Random town events. While you're navigating around town, you have a small chance of running into one of these! More will unlock based on the characters you've met. Only a few to see for now, but I'll gradually add more of these.
  • Hyena revenge. The hyena in the alleys can now get a taste of his own medicine! He'll be very intimidated if you run into him in the form of a dragon, and then you'll have the opportunity to turn the tables on him. Includes an optional watersports ending, only if you have the setting turned on from drinking in the bar previously.
  • Bug fixes! Thanks to everyone that helped find them! Please let me know if you find any more.
Scene of interest counter28 M/M - 9 M/F - 2 F/F - 4 Other - 8 Furry TF
Fetishes included: submission and domination, crossdressing, feet, musk, hypnosis, corruption, incest, watersports, gender TF, animal TF

Phew! This was a big update, I really hope you all enjoy it!

PUBLIC POLL ROUND TWO


Time for another public poll! This will be to decide the species of a new female character, Marri, a merchant who you will be able to purchase things from in the castle. There will be lewdness available with her, and I have her species down to three options: Mouse, Bird, or Fox. The poll will be available on my patreon to everyone, check it out here. I tried a google form last time, with the intent of making it available without signing in to allow everyone to vote, but because of multiple voting, I'll be using patreon's system instead to hopefully avoid that issue.

- - - -

I'll take a break for a few days where I probably won't do any writing. If any bugs are found in those days I'll post a fix on or before Tuesday. The next update (0.4.1) will add a couple more characters into the castle including Marri and, as promised, a dominant tiger. After you've slept with him, you will also be able to transform into a tiger. Besides new characters, I will also being adding new scenes to existing characters, specifically relating to corruption and hypnosis.

Enjoy the new update!

Hello!

So, I've started up a twitter account aaand to be perfectly honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with it. At the very least, I'll be posting updates about the game there too, so if you would like to follow me and get updates via twitter, it's @lapislutrine. Right now it's looking pretty barren though.

Weekly Update - 16/06/18 - Nearly there!

Hi everyone!

Version 0.4.0 is almost complete. I've got a few more scenes to finish up and then I'll test it in full, make sure everything's working, and hopefully have a release ready by this time next week. At the very latest, I expect to be able to release it by the 27th June, but ideally it will be sometime over the next seven days. Thank you all for your patience!

Have a good weekend!

Weekly Update - 09/06/18

Hello all!

Version 0.4.0 is coming together nicely. Most of the pieces are pretty much put together, it's simply a case of finishing off all the lewd content ready for release. This is quite a sizeable update, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it when it's finally ready. I'm considering leaving off Kyrin and returning to her in 0.4.1, but I'll see how things go. I'm trying to balance working on this and work in my real life, so progress is kinda slow right now. Sorry about that, but I do need to prioritise other things this month! My aim is to finish this update by the end of June at the absolute latest, but I really hope it will be done in the next couple of weeks. I hope it will be worth the wait!

If you have any questions, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to hear it! You can comment here or message me privately on reddit (/u/LapisLutrine) or on patreon (link here). Your feedback is genuinely so encouraging, and I have to thank all of you who have talked to me and supported me over the past couple of months. By playing, pledging, reviewing, or even just chatting with me about the game, your interest as a community has really pushed me forward. Building this game is my hobby, and so I absolutely love to talk about it! I hope you'll all enjoy the next update as much as I've enjoyed creating it!

Have a great weekend!

Weekly Update - 02/06/18

Happy Saturday everyone!

Version 0.4.0 is coming along nicely! I'm not sure when it will be ready, but hopefully it will be sometime later this month.

The new update will see the player inside the castle for the first time, as has been planned for a while now. I figure I'd use this weekly update to talk about plans thereafter.

I always use a new middle number (0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.4.0) when there's a significant drop of new content. For 0.2.0, this was the Moonstone Quarter, 0.3.0 had the cult and 0.4.0 will have the castle. My plans after the castle are pretty loose, but here's about where I am:

0.4.0 - The Castle
0.5.0 - Deeper in the castle - the Throne Room and the Treasury
0.6.0 - Wrap up the main storyline

0.5.0 will further the main story as we meet the royal family in the castle and get towards finding Fel's Tiara. Then I will finish that off in 0.6.0.

By 0.6.0, I imagine that all the characters I want will be in the game. The story will close and I can turn my attention to expanding the world I've built up to that point. Therefore, after that update I will be focusing on developing individual storylines, each character's own story. This will come with more lewd content too, of course.

Looking more short term, 0.4.0 is planned to have at least one update after it before 0.5.0, in which I will expand the corruption content in the game, especially within the castle.

Hopefully this time next week, I'll have a better idea as to when 0.4.0 will be ready.

For now, I hope you have a good weekend!

Weekly Update - 26/05/18

Hello!

I've made some progress on the next update, which I've decided will be going straight into version 0.4.0. Finally you'll be able to get into the second half of the game: the castle! This update will come with a fair few new characters, including:
  • Kruiss, the dragon captain of the guard. Seduce him to get permanent access to the castle.
  • Aihla, Kruiss's dragoness wife. The two are in a marriage of convenience rather than of love. Aihla handles the servants in the castle, and will be more than willing to let you spend the night with one of them in exchange for gold.
  • Hura, an eagle priest. He has been exiled from his town and is stranded in Ighena. Help him feel more at home.
  • Kyrin, Yulius's equine kitchen assistant. She can be run into in a random event while navigating the town.
  • Dungeon Master, a bear who resides in the castle's dungeon. Get caught trespassing in the castle and you'll get thrown in with this musky ursine. This content has been commissioned by a patron; you can commission your own character by supporting me on my patreon. The current price for commissions is $8 this month, but this will be increasing to $10 next month. This guarantees 2000 words for a character of your creation, designed to your specifications!
It will be a while before this update is released as I have other work to deal with right now too.

Additionally, it may be of interest that I will be starting a WIP scene blog on my patreon. Starting next Friday, I will be posting scenes in progress that I have been working on each week for early viewing for patrons only. These will be accessible here.

I'll probably use these weekly Saturday updates to talk about each of the new characters, but perhaps there's something else you'd like me to talk about too? If you have any questions, I'm sure I'll be happy to answer them personally or publicly :)

Have a good weekend!

Rags to Riches 0.3.1

Hello!

0.3.1 has some nice new additions:
  • Progress on Elias and Amelie's stories. See the brother and sister reunited under one roof. Try to stop them tearing each other apart. Make sure you support Emery when given the choice to get this route. Includes a new lewd scene for Elias, plus incestual scenes between Elias and Emery, as well as Amelie and Emery. In the future, I'll be looking into allowing the player to be included in these scenes too.
  • Corrupt Ricard and Elias. Once you've been corrupted, you can share your gift with these two characters! For Elias's route, you must have already met Emery, and did not support him when given the choice. Ricard has a slightly different scene depending on if you come to him as a mouse or as something else.
  • New lewd scenes for Jonah and the cult. All require the player to be corrupted - keep playing and transforming and the cult storyline will eventually open up. Jonah's new scene has been written by a guest writer, Kanja. Take a look at his stuff here!
  • A few fixes and changes. It will be easier to find Madame Coeur's address and to find Azi's office empty now.

If you want to support the development of the game, you can pledge to me on patreon!

Thank you all for playing! I'm tempted to go to 0.3.2 and develop the town a little more before moving on to the castle, but perhaps I'll integrate it into 0.4.0 instead. We'll see!

Scene of interest counter19 M/M - 7 M/F - 1 F/F - 4 Other - 6 Furry TF
Fetishes included: watersports, gender TF, submission by PC, crossdressing, foot stuff, hypnosis, corruption, incest

Saturday 19 May 2018

Weekly Update - 19/05/18

Happy Saturday!

Release 0.3.1 is coming soon! As I've mentioned in the past, this update will develop the extent of the corruption's influence on the town. The main effect of this is seen in Elias's storyline. Considering his chosen career, Elias is understandably anxious that the cult seems to target prostitutes. Once you've met both of his siblings, and his brother Emery comes to seek help from Elias, you can run into a scene where Elias is packing up his bags to move in with his brother and sister.

Elias and Amelie may not get along very well at all, but they have a common ground in their love for their brother, Emery. This leads us to a few scenes of incestual content, both M/F and M/M. These scenes can be backed out of, and if you do not wish to view them then you should avoid Emery's content. I have a little more to get out of this family before their story closes, and I'm looking forward to coming back to them soon. After this, there will be another final update in the town before I move on to the castle.

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello!

Nothing much to report this Saturday, I hope you're all enjoying version 0.3.0!

The next release, version 0.3.1, will be focused on including more content in the town about the cult, and the effects it is having on the other townsfolk. After that, I'll be looking to the next area, the inside of the castle, and the different strategies you'll have of breaking inside. That's all planned for version 0.4.0.

Rags to Riches 0.3.0

Hello!

I'm very happy to finally be able to release version 0.3.0! Here's what's new:
  • Demonic Cult - Plot to take down the demonic cult terrorising the town! Or, you could join the cult, make a pact with a demon and maybe get a shot at breaking inside the castle. Nothing can go wrong there, right? Keep transforming and playing the game and this storyline will eventually open up to you.
  • Azi, your mayor - New character Azi, a fox as voted for, is available in his office in the town hall. He is a big player in the cult storyline, so unless you're talking to him about that he's probably too busy to see you.
  • More lewd scenes with Paune, Jonah and Rache. Rache's new scenes become available when the player is corrupted by the demonic cult. Jonah's scene is a part of the evil end of the cult storyline. Paune is just a bit of a slut and has no conditions for her new scene.
  • Some typos and inconsistencies fixed. A common error I'm finding is that I sometimes forget to describe players with a shark transformation as having two cocks instead of one. Please message me if you see anything like that, or other typos, ideally with the section and your current species quoted. It may seem small but it's really important to me that everything is right, so please please don't be afraid to contact me!
  • Touched up a few other scenes.

If you want to support the development of this game, you can pledge to me on patreon!

The demonic cult is going to be a big storyline in Rags to Riches and will have a significant influence on many characters in the game. Currently the cult cannot be defeated or dissolved, but in future updates there will be new characters who will be able to assist in this task. Alternatively, you will be able to take sides with the cult and corrupt Ighena, something you can get a taste of in 0.3.0. Right now, the plan is that this will be an exclusively M/M storyline, but I might change my mind in the future. It's going to be tricky to handle and write all the different possibilities, but hopefully it'll be a lot of fun!

Scene of interest counter: 13 M/M - 6 M/F - 1 F/F - 4 Other - 6 Furry TF

Weekly Update - 05/05/18

Hello!

Release 0.3.0 isn't quite ready yet. It's currently shaping up to be my largest update yet, looking to clock in at just over 60,000 words total, 20,000 up from 0.2.2.

In this update I will be introducing a new storyline centering on the demonic cult in Ighena. This storyline will have a significant impact on many characters in the game, as will your decisions within it. In this storyline, you can choose to either infiltrate the cult and take it down from within or to actually join the cult and revel in its deviancy. The cult worships a demon called the Ahriman, and your initiation into the cult will involve the demon corrupting your body and your thoughts. This will not go down well with some characters, but most will be oblivious to your only subtly changed appearance. There are ways of persuading those who don't like your new form...

I plan for this storyline to be an exclusively M/M route, though these plans may change in the future. I have plans for a good end, an evil end and a few bad ends too. The evil end will entail aiding the corruption of the city in service to the Ahriman whilst the good end will entail defeating and dissolving the cult and purifying its members. For now, 0.3.0 will include the beginning of the evil end and one of the bad ends. The other bad ends and the good end will become available when I've added the necessary characters, and the evil route will continue inside the castle. The bad ends aren't very sexy but I hope they'll be engaging nonetheless! On the evil route you can start by corrupting a couple of people around town.

I want to release 0.3.0 with a lot of content but I also want to get it out quite soon so that you can play through it already. As well as expanding the options in characters that the player can corrupt, I will be exploring the other impacts of the cult's presence on the town's residents in 0.3.1.

I hope to release the update sometime in the next week! At the latest, I will be aiming to release it next Saturday. I hope you'll all enjoy it~

Have a good weekend!

Azi's Public Poll Result

Happy Saturday everyone!

Earlier this week, I started a public poll to decide the species of a new character, Azi. I didn't want to have to require a sign in for the poll so that I could maximise voters. Turns out it really did maximise voters, as it lead to quite a few cases of people duplicating their votes. One person voted for the same thing 17 times in the space of three minutes - I appreciate your dedication but no stop. I've adjusted to ignore these suspicious duplicates, but as you can see, the results are very close:


From this, I've decided that Azi will be introduced as a fox; thank you to everyone who voted! Considering how close the votes were between fox and tiger, I will also look into creating a separate tiger character to fulfil this demand, though I can't promise that'll happen by 0.3.0. I also have vague plans for a bird of prey character, but for now the other two will be my focus. I will continue work on the next update, which I hope to have ready by May 12th at the latest. Regardless of updates, I will be updating on my blog every Saturday with any news as usual.

Rags to Riches 0.2.2 + Public Poll

Hello!

Here with a small update:
  • Paune: New shark girl added in the new Town Hall, accessible from the Town Centre. But 'she' is packing more than you'd expect downstairs... 
Download it here!
Play in browser here!

Scene of interest counter8 M/M - 6 M/F - 1 F/F - 3 Other* - 5 Furry TF
Fetishes included: watersports, gender TF, submission by PC, crossdressing, foot stuff, hypnosis

*Other describes any scene that cannot be placed into x/x categories. Currently, this just refers to Paune, as she is an intersex character. In the future, this may also include non-gendered sex (tentacles, perhaps) and group sex.

PUBLIC POLL - Vote on a new character's species!

The original plan was to release Paune with 0.3.0, but I wanted to post a small update so that I could get some attention to this public poll. I want to use public polls when I'm undecided about a certain aspect of the game, in this case, a character's species. Therefore these polls will occur on an irregular basis only when I'm indecisive. Should I gather enough patrons, I will have regular patron-only polls, however these will differ as they will be to determine which areas of the game I focus on and develop. These polls will be on my patreon.

Release 0.3.0 will introduce a new male character called Azi, who will be of a new species that the player can transform into. He is the mayor of Ighena, someone the king delegates all the management tasks to that he doesn't want to do (and that's all of them). Azi is understandably bitter about this, desiring a greater reward for his hard work, something you will be able to either aid or hinder him with. I have narrowed him down to either a fox, tiger or bird of prey. He will be a mostly dominant character, so don't pick fox with the hope of a femboy! Finally, the poll is only an aid to my decision making process: the final decision is mine to make. That being said, unless it is super close, the most popular option will most likely be what I go with.

Voting is closed. Results available on above blog post.

Enjoy the update!

Rags to Riches 0.2.1

Hello!

Here with another update:
  • Madame Coeur, Master Hypnotist! Visit the feline enchantress in the Trade Quarter. After eating with Yulius, you have a chance of finding the hypnotist's address every time you leave his restaurant.
  • Silas's Lab - Rache can now be invited to the lab. He'd like to try out an M2F transformation!
  • Visual Improvements - There is now a map of Ighena on the sidebar and some buttons instead of text links for navigation around the town. (I've only just noticed that the map kind of looks like a shitty version of the Olympic rings. It uses the same colours and all. Oh well :) Was not my intention.)
  • Rhin's name has been changed to Elias. I didn't like having two characters with similar names (Rhin in Rags and Rin in 72 Hours) who had no relation, hence the change. 
  • Fixes and improvements across the board.
Just two M/F scenes added this time, but I've also set up plans and framework for 0.3.0 now. In 0.3.0, I'll be adding more characters to the town and expanding on current storylines, then 0.4.0 will look at finally breaking into the castle. Expect an update sometime next month.

Scene of interest counter: 8 M/M - 6 M/F - 1 F/F - 5 Furry TF
Fetishes included: watersports, gender TF, submission by PC, crossdressing, foot stuff, hypnosis

A cheat mode is now available for patrons. This unlocks all anthro transformations from the start and a library in Rache's house with shortcuts to every sex scene. It's a little unstable - best to view the sex scene then back out to the library. You can support me on Patreon here.

Most fetish content is signposted and can be avoided.

Weekly Update - 14/04/18

Hello!

Nothing new to post this week I'm afraid! I've been busy with other work. I'll try to post a small update if I can either next weekend or the weekend after. Either way, I want to post at least every Saturday so that you can see that the game is not being abandoned. I simply need to prioritise other things right now.

Additionally, I have set up a Patreon account, since that just seems to be what people do in this community. If you have something you'd really like to see in the game, patrons will have considerable influence over the content I write. Be rest assured that all content for Rags to Riches will remain freely available.

Link to my Patreon is here.

Enjoy your weekend!

Rags to Riches 0.2.0

Hello!

Got a few nice additions this update! The Moonstone Quarter is now open: acquire a wolf transformation to access the new area. Update includes:
  • Silas (Snake) - Meet Silas in the park and he will invite you to his transformation laboratory. M2F and F2M TG content available exclusively here, but you can bring some friends to join the fun with you. I'm isolating the Gender TF content to one area to avoid issues that would arise in the rest of the game, which has been built for a male PC. Currently, just Kiera can be invited, but I'll be adding more as I go. Silas has only a little sexual content himself after each TF, but I will expand this later. Future updates may see more exotic transformations here too...
  • Rhin (Cat) - Your heisting guide. He'll come up with a few options to advance to the next area. Eat in Yulius's Kitchen to learn about him, then ask Fel to find his address. There is no next area yet, but you can still have some fun with him. (Foot stuff and worship of him)
  • Jonah (Horse) - The barman that is definitely straight. Help him out of his shell a bit...
  • The Park - A particularly horny deer can be found wandering the park, but you'll have to be fit enough to catch up to him.

For the next update, I will work on adding to the Moonstone Quarter and the rest of the town before moving on to the castle. However I will be slowing down content for a while now as I need to focus on other work. I'll still post an update here each Saturday to keep you up to date on how things are going.

Scene of interest counter: 8 M/M - 4 M/F - 1 F/F - 5 Furry TF
Fetishes included: watersports, gender TF (M2F and back again), submission by PC, crossdressing, foot stuff 

Most fetish content is signposted and can be avoided. (For now, sex with Rhin always includes feet/worship, which is not signposted. This is something I plan to give an option for in the future.)

I hope you enjoy~

72 Hours - Feedback Consolidation

Hello!

Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated in the survey on 72 Hours. This post is going to detail how I'm going to consider the data I've received when writing Rags to Riches.

Danny the horse was the most enjoyed scene.
50% of people that read Danny's scene marked it as one of their favourites. Jeremy and Finn were close behind with 46% of favourites by those who read it, but as fetish content, less people actually played it. Honourable mention goes to Edgar (no tentacles), at 43%. From this, I can infer that while the domination aspect was enjoyed by a lot of people in Danny's scene, a lot of people also enjoyed the more intimate character of Edgar. Gotta have variety!

Rin the birb was the least interesting scene.
A lowly 13% of those that read it marked it as one of their favourites. My theory here is that as the scene was fairly vanilla, it did not stand out to most. This excludes the cured and corrupted scenes by the way, which I took as given would not be enjoyed as much compared to the others. I'll be careful to ensure sex stays fresh in Rags to Riches.

The most controversial scene was Edgar's tentacles.
As expected, the tentacle scene got a lot of conflicting votes. Of those that played it, 36% marked it as a favourite, while 24% marked it as a least favourite. Excluding cured/corrupted, tentacle Edgar got the most least favourite votes. I'm okay with this - fetish content isn't for everyone!

Nathan's scene was also marked by many as least favourite.
Nathan received least favourite votes from 18% of his viewership. As one commenter pointed out, this is likely due to the simplicity of his route. I'll make sure at least a little work is needed on the player's part to earn a scene and develop the characters.

The walkthrough was used by 70% of players
I'm glad to see my writing it was useful, but hopefully it won't be as necessary in Rags to Riches.

No one can agree on any specific species.
No one species stood out as overly popular in this question, but there is an awful lot of variety in what people want! I may post polls in the future with a narrower set of options when deciding on new characters, but for now this is a very nice wishlist. Also a very long wishlist.

Fetish content in general is wanted
A lot of people marked many or all the options on the list, as well as adding more in the other box. I'm taking this to mean that the more kinky shit in the game, the better. Noted!
Other people also missed this question entirely - I'd like to assure you that vanilla scenes will not disappear.

M2F content will be included soon in Rags to Riches.
This was a popular 'other' option in the fetish question, and I know there is a large audience for it on tfgamessite.com, which 75% of players have come from. The content will remain restricted to one area to avoid me needing to restructure the whole game, which is built around a male PC. I have good plans laid out for it, but be aware that the game will still be centred around furry content.

M/M will remain the focus of all my games.
A few people mentioned their appreciation for the M/M content. I'd like to assure you that this will always be my focus, even as I add content for a wider audience too.

Additions to 72 Hours
A few people have made suggestions as to things I could add to 72 Hours. For now I will be leaving that game as it is and working on Rags to Riches, but I have some ideas in mind should I return to it.

People mostly enjoyed 72 Hours
yay :)


Hopefully that will give you an idea as to how the data has been useful for me and how I will keep it in mind when writing in the future. I am still collecting data (and probably always will be) on this survey. Thanks again to everyone that filled it out! If you have any other comments on these observations, you can leave a comment on this blog, or message me on reddit or tfgamessite.

Thanks!

Rags to Riches 0.1.0

Hello!

I'm happy to be able to release an early version of my second game, Rags to Riches. This version of the game has 18500 words, shorter than 72 Hours which has 24500 words. This game takes place in the medieval-style fantasy town of Ighena, in which humans suffer discrimination from the other anthropomorphic races. With the help of an alchemist, you will be able to change your appearance into different species in order to improve your social class. All you need to do is gather the 'essence' of the species you want to transform into...

Currently there are six sex scenes, four M/M and two M/F. M/F is new to me, but I'm pretty sure I've put all the body parts in the right place at least, let me know if there's anything I can improve there! You are able to transform into a mouse, a shark and a wolf. Each of these transformation scenes can be accessed after having sex with someone of the relevant species. A walkthrough can be found in the header of this blog, but I don't feel it's at all needed to find all the content. Try it without first!

I hope you enjoy! This is of course a work in progress, so I will take into account any feedback or suggestions, as well as fix any bugs or typos people discover.

Download it here! Alternatively, play it in your browser, here!

Read a short extract from the game on my blog here!

Future Plans

The next update will add the Moonstone Quarter, which will include Kruiss, the dragon captain of the guard, Rhin, a feminine catboy, and Silas, a serpentine sorcerer, among others. After that update, I will add the Ighena Castle and work on concluding the story. Once I am happy with the range of characters and species available, I will focus on expanding the content available for each character, building their individual stories and giving each a satisfying ending. As ambitious as I'd like to be, I'm aware that I need to remain realistic, so my plans for this game are very subject to change.

Additionally, I'm still gathering feedback on my last game, 72 Hours. If you played the game (not necessarily finished) and have 5 minutes to spare, I'd greatly appreciate your time:  https://goo.gl/forms/sjfSZUcDaL3SuWDF3

Thank you to everyone who has already filled it out :) I hope you enjoy Rags to Riches!

Info on Rags to Riches

Hello!

My next game, Rags to Riches, is nearing a milestone and will be ready for an early release version very soon! In this version, there will be 6 characters to interact with, two female and four male, who are of 4 different species, of which 3 you can then transform into. The focus of all the games I produce will always be on male/male character interactions, however in order to include a wider audience, I would also like it to be possible to finish the game using only a male/female route too. For now, the game has no endings, but once I have a good variety of content and have released the characters and species I'd like, then I will move on to focus on developing specific characters.

As I'm unable to release the game today, I've instead decided to show a short extract of one of the scenes so that you can get a feel for what the writing will be like. This is taken from a scene with Ricard, a wolf who will sleep with you only if you are a mouse.
[[Proposition Ricard]]
"I thought you'd never ask," Ricard grins. 
The gentlemanly wolf rises and takes you by the hand, taking you to his bedroom while his wagging tail thwacks repeatedly against your leg. Ricard opens the door to his room and invites you inside, his eyes barely leaving your body. You sit down on the bed in a seductive pose, your growing bulge becoming more and more clear to see beneath your clothing. You could see Ricard practically drooling as he quickly closed the door and undid his belt.
"Hey, hey, slow down!" you say.
Ricard stops his hurried undressing as you beckon him closer.
"Let me do that..."
You slide off the guard's belt and run your hands under his shirt and through his grey fur. His pants now loose, you take the opportunity to stroke down his hips, gently easing his clothes further south. Ricard is hypnotised by your elegant touch, letting you do whatever you please with him. You give him a kiss on his muzzle as you remove the final barrier between you and his cock. He moans into your lips, showing that he is totally yours. You move your mouth down his chest, sprinkling him with light kisses and nibbles, finally making your way down to his now exposed member.

Ricard's cock was as you'd expect of a wolf: canine, bulky, red. At its base, Ricard harboured a bulging knot, built to tie him and his lovers together. You lick slowly across it, teasing Ricard as you taste his cock from its base, down its length and up to its tapered tip. Ricard strokes a hand over your large, mouse ears before moving to push subtle encouragement on the back of your head. You're happy to oblige, your snout first kissing his tip and then slowly easing him inside. Ricard's moans grew louder as you plunged his cock inside your muzzle, his claws digging slightly into your fur. His length was not so much the challenge, but rather his thickness, his large girth completely filling your muzzle. You wrap a hand around and stroke his ass as you suck on his member, grabbing at his cheeks. An experimental finger approaches Ricard's hole, eliciting an excited pant from the wolf. He holds you tighter, gentler now with his claws but still evidently eager.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Additionally, I have been working on a new game which will take place in a fantasy setting. It's called Rags to Riches and I hope to be able to release a working version with a fair amount of content in the coming weeks. I plan to put more work into this one, so the final version will hopefully be a lot longer than 72 Hours.

72 Hours 1.0.0

Hello!

I'm happy to be able to release my first text game, 72 Hours! You can find a brief synopsis and a snippet of one of the scenes in my first blog post, just below.

There are 10 different endings, 8 of which are sexual. All sexual content is homosexual and contain anthropomorphic transformations. There is one scene which contains incest, however it is clearly signposted so that you may avoid it if you wish.

If you find any issues, game breaking or typos, please let me know by posting a comment.

I'm happy with the amount of content in this game, but there is room for more. For now, I'd like to try a different setting, but I may return to this one in the future.

For now, enjoy!

Lapis Lutrine Blog

Hello!

I'm Lapis, and I'll be using this blog to post various adult furry text games.

I can't promise I'll be frequent, but I aim to post finished releases when I do. As a result, I am soon to publish my first full game, entitled 72 Hours. The game is played from the perspective of Will, a male human, and will include 8 'sexable' characters from 7 species, all of whom will be male. In the story, Will is infected with a virus that will transform him into a feral wolf, unless the virus can attach itself to the DNA of a different species before 72 hours are up. Here's a snippet from one of the scenes:
Jeremy dragged Will into his room and shut the door behind them. Running over to a chest of drawers, he pulled out a bottle of lube. Will smiled at him, then pulled him over to the bed by his shirt and pulled him into another kiss. The powerful deer pushed Will down on to the bed, pushing his muzzle into him.
"Let's make a stag out of you," Jeremy said, pulling his shirt over his head and antlers.
Will stroked Jeremy's chest, feeling the strong muscles beneath his thick, soft fur. Grabbing the back of the deer's head, Will pulled him closer, kissing his muzzle once more and embracing him. Jeremy slid his hands under Will's shirt and pulled it off, caressing his soft, human skin while doing so. Will moaned, moving his hand down to Jeremy's belt. The deer pulled away and stood back.
Jeremy slowly slid his belt off and kicked off his clothes until just his bulging underwear remained.
"I think the drugs are working," Jeremy smiled.
Finally, Will breathed deeply as Jeremy released his cock into the open. Jeremy stroked it teasingly, making a show of it.
"Now show me yours," Jeremy said.
Sitting on the bed, Will hurriedly removed his clothing until he sat bare naked, erect, in front of his stag. Jeremy smiled, still stroking his cock at the sights Will was showing him. The stag approached Will and handed him the bottle of lube.

If this piques your interest, you will be able to download the game from the games page, accessed from the header, very soon!
