Quick Update: ETA Saturday-Sunday
Greetings!Though there's still 2.5 hours of Friday left for me, it's clear that I won't be done by then. I'm thinking I'll be done tomorrow, but it could be as late as Sunday morning.I posted this info in a comment to the previous thread, but I figured it was important enough for...
0.6 Release: Friday 8/10
Greetings!Having my workspace back has been good for me and my productivity, and I've gotten a lot done this week. I'm now confident enough to announce a release date: 0.6 will be out this coming Friday, August 10th. It's been a long time coming - mostly due to unforeseen personal issues...
Weekend Update
Greetings!I moved into the new place Wednesday, spent all day yesterday unpacking, and now I'm settled in, finally. This past month has been really weird, but the weirdness is now over, thank God. This means that I'll be able to work on the game much more effectively, and it also means I'...
July 13 Update
Greetings!I’m sorry I haven’t posted an update for a bit - my move isn't settled yet, and unfortunately I'm still living out of hotels right now, but I'm continuing to get work done on the game. Not as much as I'd like, but a good bit nonetheless. It's kinda funny; I used to ...
Sneak Peek (and Combat Updates)
Greetings!I'm in the middle of a cross-country move right now, so I haven't made as much progress as I'd wanted, but I still got quite a bit done. I managed to get all the renders done before I had to break down my monstrosity of a desktop, and I've been feverishly attacking the post...
Development Journal 20 June
Greetings!Progress continues on 0.6! I'm about 2/3 of the way done with the H-scenes, and I've had an opportunity to work on a lot of other stuff as well.The recollection room is now up and running. My intent was to do an overhaul of the H-scene progression system at the same time I implemen...
Updates (and Portraits!)
Greetings!Development for 0.6 has been proceeding apace. Since my last check-in, I've written the summaries for the H-scenes, planned out all the shots, and completed about a third of renders. Mind you, this doesn't include postwork, which is considerably more involved than it used to be, bu...
Val!
Greetings!At long last, here's the pic of Val I promised! You may not believe it, but I actually spent quite a long time working on her and her dress. I haven't spent this long designing a character since I did the PC's female form. I was originally using this as an opportunity to kinda ...
Dungeons and Performance (and Val!)
Greetings!I'm currently working on Val's design - I'd been reading and watching stuff lately about color theory and character design, and I learned a few things that I hope will help make my work more interesting. I'll get out an omake pic with her as soon as I'm done with the de...
Threat and Battlers
Greetings!My goal since I finished up my experiments with new rendering and postwork techniques was to finish up the boss battle. I diligently got to work on it, figuring I'd start out with implementing the threat plugin I'd referred to a time or two. To recap, I want to give The Proteus Eff...
The Proteus Effect 0.5.2 is Released!
Greetings!There is no new content - this is mostly a bugfix release!As usual, I like to try to get out a 'definitive' version of each major release, purged of all the bugs I'm aware of (hopefully without introducing any new ones!), and that's what 0.5.2 is.Actually, that's a bit ...
Wednesday Cheesecake
Greetings!I thought you might appreciate something nice for hump day!Over the past week or so, I've been investigating more advanced rendering and postwork techniques, and the picture you see above is a result of that. It may not look super different from my usual stuff, but the process used to ...
0.5.1 Preloader Test
Greetings!Just to be clear:There is no new content in this release! This version is intended to test a solution to a problem that only affects some people. Please only play this version if you're interested in testing out the feature!TL;DR: This version tests out something that may help people w...
Development Journal 6 May
Greetings!I expected recollection room to win the new feature poll - and it did - but I was really surprised how well the 'view avatar' feature did! A recollection room will definitely be in 0.6, and I'll be sure to put the 'view avatar' feature in 0.7.The picture pack is almost ...
New Features for 0.6
Greetings!I hope everyone had a good weekend, and I hope everyone enjoyed 0.5! It doesn’t look as though 0.5.1 has any horrible bugs, so I’m getting to work on 0.6. The dungeon is going to be the big event of 0.6, but I’m thinking about how I can gradually integrate new features I’ve been th...
Hotfix 0.5.1
Greetings!This hotfix is intended to address a game-crashing bug that occurs during one of the optional quests.Sorry for any trouble, and I hope you enjoy the update!Hopefully there aren't any more really bad ones... but please let me know if there are!┐(‘～`；)┌WindowsMacLinux

The Proteus Effect 0.5 is Released!
Greetings!At long last 0.5 is here!It took quite a long time to get out, but it is a pretty large update. It took me over 2 hours to get through all the new content in my playtest, but much of the content is optional and/or hidden, so your playtime may be less. I'd still expect it to be well ove...
A Quick Update
I am currently working on 0.5's last event/scene. It is both the last one in the update and the last one I need to finish. 0.5 won't be done tonight, but it will be very soon.I ended up adding a bit of stuff to 0.5 since my last update, and I think the additions definitely help. I haven'...
Still Alive, Still Working on It!
Greetings!The release is taking me far longer than I'd thought. I'm really sorry, everyone. I'm not actually trying to tease, I'm just apparently extraordinarily bad at estimating how long things will take. (As an aside, it's probably a good thing I don't work in project mana...
Friday/Saturday Update
Greetings!I wanted to let everyone know that I will likely not have 0.5 out on Saturday, contra my earlier assertion that I would have it out by the end of the month.It will be out within the next few days; large swaths of it are done. This update is very writing-heavy, and this is something I didn&...
Development Journal 25 March
Greetings!I've been writing stuff this past week, but most of the game work I've done has been on renders. Once again, I planned out a large number of them - so good news if you like 'em! I've also been playing around with the cloth simulation engine they recently put into Daz, and i...
Development Journal 18 March
Greetings!Earlier this week I'd put out a poll comparing a slightly revised version of the male elf model with the original one. Though the poll hasn't yet ended, it seems there's a fairly clear preference for the newer one, so that's the one I'll end up using. Or something very ...
Poll: Male Model
Greetings!There were a number of critiques of the original model for Tal'thelas, so I went back and made a large number of subtle changes to come up with an alternate one.Now, this is an elf, so I want him to look somewhat feminine. As I said in the last update, I may create some characters with...
Development Journal 11 March
Greetings!It's been a busy week! I'm currently at work on the boss battle prototype; It looks like I'll be able to make my original concept for it work, and I hope to be done with the prototype today.I released a pic earlier this week showing the model I'd developed for Tal'thela...
Male Model Test
Greetings!As I mentioned before, I am working on developing a look for male humans/elves, and this is my first effort. This one depicts an elf, so he looks a bit more fey than I plan on having humans look, but still, it gives you an idea of where I'm headed with it.I'm interested to know wha...
Development Journal 4 March
Greetings!I wrote a bit last time about the threat plugin I was planning to make, but I've since found out that someone already wrote something pretty close to what I was looking for. I haven't tested it out yet, but it looks like it will fit the bill pretty well, so that's one less big ...
The Proteus Effect 0.4.2 is Released!
Greetings!As promised, here is version 0.4.2! This version is mostly a bugfix update to 0.4.1; there are a few lines of dialogue I wrote, but literally only about 30 seconds worth (if you're wondering, it's when you avoid the 'inspection' scene). Anyway, here's the changelog!Chan...
0.4.2 Should Be Out Tomorrow!
Greetings!I wanted to announce that I should be done with Picture Pack 0.4 tomorrow, which means I can release 0.4.2 then, too! My poor computer has been rendering all week, but it's almost done. Just to be clear, 0.4.2 won't have any new content, it's just a bugfix/tidying update.In add...
Poll: Render Volume
Greetings!I'm currently doing brainstorming and planning for 0.5, and as I said in my last update, my PC is rendering away on the high-resolution pictures for the picture pack. There don't seem to be many bugs to bother with (other than the first one!), so I'm getting right to work on 0....
