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.

Have a good weekend~

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.

72 Hours 1.0.3

Hello!

Just a small update for 72 Hours. I've added a map on the sidebar and some buttons for navigation too. I don't expect many people are getting lost, but I think it looks pretty and I was doing the same for Rags to Riches anyway. If you don't like it, 1.0.2 will still be available to play in browser and to download from the Games page.

Rags to Riches update coming on Saturday!

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.)

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!
