Weekly Update (12-8-2025)
Sorry for the delayed post today, was kind of a hectic day on my end with IRL stuff. Overall the public release went pretty well. One kind of funny thing was that I hadn't realized it seems that the new controller and keyboard binds were verry much a public desire rather than a patron one, based...

Weekly Update (12-1-2025)
To start, for anyone who missed it, I released a new Lorena art preview to Count+ tier! Lorena's base art is now done. There are some outfits that need doing still, but I've a few other things that I'm putting ahead of those. Art is always kind of a balancing act, divided between what...
Weekly Update (11-24-2025)
A somewhat better week overall. Finally got that retrospective posted yesterday. XDThere was an annoying bug this update that was screwing up a few cutscenes that used snoke and mirrors to change which character was showing as the player character, including the very intro, which was annoying. Thank...
Noblesse Oblige Two Year Retrospective
Once again, posting this for Baron+ tier, like the One-Year Retrospective from last year if you weren't here for that one.Time is weird. It’s honestly very strange to me that it’s been two years since I did the first big public release of Noblesse. On some level, it feels like less than that...
Weekly Update (11-17-2025)
Not the best week, honestly.Had a fair amount of annoying IRL stuff, sadly. Nothing individually too bad, but all together it was just a lot. :/ Didn't end up feeling up to writing the two year retrospective, but I will do that sometime this week for sure. I do want to, it just takes a decent am...
Rise of the Dragon King (Novel) Public Preview
The Dominion of Al-Kerath was supposed to be a land of opportunity—but instead, it needed a liberator.When his sorcery and his heritage conspired to close off Leo's path in life, he left all he knew behind to seek his fortune in Heliopolis, the shining gem of the desert, with no more than the ...
Weekly Update (11-10-2025)
Well, the update seems to have gone pretty well!I'm very glad for that. Seems like those who have gotten through have enjoyed it, and the gamebreaking bugs were minimal. Except, you know, the one I caught myself back at the start. XD I think this was a pretty good chapter myself, so the response...
Noblesse Oblige 17.0.6 "The Summit of Riversmeet" Patreon release!

Weekly Update (11-3-2025)
I am very tired. XDIf I'm being honest, I may have pushed a bit too hard this time. Still, the update is looking very good, so I can't say I really regret it. XD I'm just looking forward to being able to crash when it's done. I'll definitely need to take a longer break with how t...
Weekly Update (10-27-2025)
I really did want this to be a short update...But, well, here we are. XD;;;I'm not quiite done, there's one more small but important bit I need to write. I needed to take a break yesterday, though, because I wrote 26,302 words last week and I was really exhausted. XD Unless I'm rememberi...
Weekly Update (10-20-2025) (Release Date Fixed)
A lot of progress this week.EDIT: Really really sorry about this. I miscounted weeks when giving my tentative release date. It's going to be November 7th, not October 31st. When I was counting the days, didn't count the necessary week of testing properly. Sadly even if I pushed as hard as po...
Weekly Update (10-13-2025)
Alright, I think I have momentum going for the update now. As you can see, I got about 17-18k done this week, which I think is good progress. Assuming I can keep up this pace, which I very much hope to, then I should be through this update's writing in two or three more weeks. I'm hoping for...
Lore Post Addendum - Downloadable Calendar
So, this took a bit longer to get around to than expected, but I have the full form of the Avalonian calendar here! You can download it in pdf form here. Many thanks to StormyAngel for taking the time and effort to put this together and mapping my timeline onto it!You'll likely notice that some ...
Weekly Update (10-6-2025)
More progress this week. Overall, I got enough done that I feel a lot closer to caught up, which makes me feel better in general. I'd hoped to hit 20k this weekend, but this is close enough to not feel bad about, and I had some fun emergent ideas that I look forward to people seeing.I'm stil...
Weekly Update (9-29-2025)
While I'm still not quite where I want to be, this was a better week overall.I managed to finish up most of the asset work I needed for this update (making new character assets etc.) and get a real start on the writing. Hoping I can push through with that this week. I'm still not feeling the...
Weekly Update (9-22-2025)
Sadly, this week was less productive than I'd hoped for.That definitely isn't to say I got nothing done, I did mostly finish up the surprise I mentioned. I also did some things on my longtime todo list, including sitting down to implement controller and key rebinding support. The latter isn&...
Preview: Rise of the Dragon King
Alright, here's that writing preview I promised! This includes 10 chapters (prelude + Ch 1-9). It's about 47k words and 142 pages (in word), and I think it gives a pretty good idea of the story.Preliminary back cover copy:"If there is aught you desire, you will needs but devise a design ...
Weekly Update (9-15-2025)
I made some pretty good progress on mapping this week.Making castles has always been one of my favorite parts of making the game. They're a bit hard to show fully on one screen, which is sad in terms of showing them off, but I can at least offer a preview that I like to think captures a bit of t...
Lore Post - The Avalonian Calendar
The Avalonian Calendar is a topic I’ve wanted to write about for some time, but one of the prerequisites was going through and being sure everything was consistent.That’s something I’ve done now, complete with finishing naming. We’ll start out with days of the week. The style of this lore po...
Weekly Update (9-8-2025)
Public update went pretty well this week, I think. A few bugs, enough that I'll be releasing a hotfix later today. Those are mostly pretty minor, but I made a really annoying mistake an un-fixed the most reported patreon bug because I forgot why it was changed in the first place, so I got to hav...
Noblesse Oblige v0.16.1.4 "Gathering Shadows" Public Release!
Chapter 15 is here! And it's an incredible behemoth of an update, heh. I definitely hope everyone enjoys!Edit #3: I've updated to v0.16.1.4 to address a minor stat display bug. Get it here! Or on Steam. Edit #2: I've updated to v0.16.1.3. Alexander will no longer see the dukes off in his...
Weekly Update (9-1-2025)
To start, happy Labor Day to those who celebrate!Things are on track for the public release this Friday. I've replayed most of the game and made a lot of fixes to early content. May or may not get through the rest before friday, we'll see, but even if I don't, I've been through the p...
Weekly Update (8-25-2025)
I've been working on changes for public release this week. For starters, I updated the patreon version with some new stuff, including the new choice that was discussed/won the poll. Aside from that, I've been polishing old content a bit. I improved the opening scroll a bit, as well as improv...
Weekly Update (8-18-2025)
This has been a somewhat fractured break in various ways, between my struggles to find something really compelling to do and the growing temptation to try to mess with some pure writing on the side in my nonexistent spare time. Unlike some other creators, I don't really tend to have a lot of mul...
Weekly Update (8-11-2025)
First things first, I posted a poll for count-tier regarding the possibility of a new choice in the latest chapter. This one will only be open until the 14th.Had kind of a rough week last week, which is annoying for break, but irl stuff happens when it wants to, heh. Still got some reading in. I do ...
Weekly Update (8-4-2025)
Edit: Forgot to mention this morning, but the Crownloyalist Wiki page is mostly updated now.Release has gone pretty well, I think. Despite the crazy size, we've had fewer bugs than usual I think. My thanks to those who reported, and for everyone who's played and shared their thoughts. ^^So, ...
Noblesse Oblige v0.16.0.9 "Gathering Shadows" Patreon Release!
Chapter 15 is here! And it's an incredible behemoth of an update, heh. I definitely hope everyone enjoys! I'll be out for a while, but I should be back this evening if any issues arise. As ever, feedback is welcome, either here or on the discord! If on the discord, please use the patreon-onl...
Weekly Update (7-28-2025)
All ahead full on the update. XD; Final wordcount: Frankly, as much as there were things I really didn't want to push ahead again so I'm glad I did this, I think I pushed a little too far this time. XD Finishing and testing this has been consuming and exhausting. While it was also fun, I def...
Weekly Update (7-21-2025)
I am about 98% done with the writing, which is 2% less than I wish I was since I've definitely hit the point of flaming out on that. XD;; But I wrote essentially 20k words this week, so it's been... a lot, haha.This may work its way up to 125k as I finish up and add items/combat/etc., hard ...
