General Stuffs
GO VOTE IN THE POLL FOR THE NEW GAME FOCUS(Directly Previous Post). SERIOUSLY. Only one of you has done so, so far :-(. Even if you hate them all, drop a comment or PM saying so! And if, for some reason, you don't want to do the comment thing (even with just the name of the game you're votin...
The New Game Poll is HERE!
Alright everyone! I didn't quite make it on Monday (it's 1am on Tuesday -_-). In my defense, I apparently wasn't as over being sick as I'd hoped I was. I'm still thoroughly under the weather, though I'm steadily getting better. Anyway! It's finally time for you guys to se...
General Update
Okay, so I'm still sorta sick, but the worst of it seems to be over (hopefully). I'm still coughing horribly and have a splitting headache, but at least the 102-103 degree fever I was running for several days is gone. Unfortunately, between being slightly high on cough syrup and delirious fr...
Novus is sick
So, I managed to catch the flu, despite having had a flu shot (yes, I know it's been reported as not being effective this year). Ugh. I generally don't get sick much, and when I do it tends to me the high-fever-can-barely-think-terribleness-foggy--brain-is-mush sort of sick. Which means ther...
New Years MMS!
Update: And now, I apparently have the Flu. Despite having gotten a flu shoot earlier in the season. Bah Hum Bug. Anyway, I've added a .htm with at least somewhat better-quality graphics. I tried to fix the whole convert-to-pdf thing, then said 'fuck it, I feel horrible,' and did this in...
Update on the New Years MMS
So, I've FINALLY gotten the new years MMS renders done. It was pretty much a nightmare. Apparently, I hit the limits of either my hardware or Daz3D with the number of figures I had in some of the renders, causing super slow renders/load times/camera lag/etc. Add in some crashes, some graphics gl...
Short Story - Eros Academy: A Christmas Toy Party
Yay! The Christmas short story is done! Also...it got slightly out of hand, apparently. What was originally intended to be a quick 2,500 word short turned into a 4,500 word short. Which makes it just about the same length as the regular Eros shorts that Jaylee writes.Apparently, it took a bit longer...
Timeline for Christmas/New Years Rewards
Some of you might remember that I said I was doubling up on rewards this month. Jaylee is writing an Eros-related (or at least her Eros Academy characters related) Christmas short. She's pretty much got that done and says I'll have it for editing tomorrow. The goal, obviously, is the have th...
Release! Eros Academy 1.9
Note: Bit of an oops moment, when I originally upload this yesterday, I accidentally left it at the default (patron's only). In my defense, it was after having pulled an all-nighter. Even so, I apologize, as it was supposed to be a public post. Though, since the links were also in the main page ...
Super Quick Note
I got drug out by my family for dinner and drinks (it's my birthday, which I normally don't do anything for since it's so close to Christmas). While free delicious food and alcohol on my birthday was nice, it slowed my timetable down a little bit. I'm still 95% sure I'll be able ...
Update for the 1.9 Update/Future of Eros Academy
So, normally I make status updates Patron-only, but I have a relevant announcement for the general public as well, and I don't like splitting things into too many posts for fear of some of them getting lost in the shuffle. Please read the second announcement in this post. In a lot of ways, it...
Game Ideas 2
Alright! So here's the second set of game ideas I've been kicking around. If you haven't seen the first set, they are here: Game Ideas 1.Unnamed Star Wars ParodyNote: I have to admit this one was mildly inspired by Orange Trainer, by Exiscoming. I've been enjoying the game enough tha...
A Quick Update on the next Update
So, good news! Mostly! Currently, I have 53 renders done for the new update. This, thankfully, includes all the renders I need for the theater itself (I think, there's always a chance I forgot something -_-), which were the ones that were really slowing me down. I'm planning roughly an addit...
Update for the Old Rewards Post
The "Old Rewards" archive post now contains the "Eros Academy - The Virtual Elf" short from 3 months ago. "Eros Academy - Alyssa's Payment" has become the new $5+ short. You can find the archive post HERE.
Short Story: Alyssa's Payment
Whew! Finally, the story from last month is ready. And it has officially taken the record as the longest Eros Academy short ever, clocking in at just a smidge over 8500 words. So, hopefully that makes up a bit for the delays. I am going to issue a small warning, the editing might not be quite as goo...
Short Story Update
Sorry this isn't the actual story itself! However, I did want to let you guys know that the story is in fact finished. It ran long, however, just like I was expecting, hitting 7000+ words even after Jaylee cut a major scene at the end of it to try and speed the process up. Anyway, I have it in h...
A Quick Update for the Month's Short Story
Okay...so Jaylee did get me PART of the short story to look over. The first 3-thousand words or so. She also claims she's feeling better (if you missed it, I mentioned in the last post that she's been sick) and she's hoping to get the rest done today. I've got my doubts she'll co...
Games Ideas 1!
So, I meant to post this last night, and kinda screwed that up by shutting down my computer before hitting publish. Not one of my better moments.---------------------------First: A quick note for the $5+ Patrons. Jaylee is sick, something which I only discovered when I bugged her about the short yes...
Just a bit of an update
So, I'm sure you've all seen my public post about the game. What I didn't say there, because it's not certain at all, is that I may continue to add the occasional scene to Eros Academy even after I move on. As something of a long-term side project instead of my major focus. MAYBE. An...
The Future of Novus' Stuff
So, I've been putting off this post for over a week. Almost two weeks, actually. After the last patreon billing cycle produced the absolute worst results from the very beginning of this game/page, I was pretty damn depressed and took the better part of a week to seriously think about just what t...
Update for $1 Patrons - Old Rewards
With the release of the new short for the $5 reward people (go to the other new post if you're one of those people and haven't seen it yet!), another of the old rewards cycles onto the $1 Patron Reward archives post. This time, it was the first Michael Mae's Mixed Media Short (MM1 Michae...
Short Story - Eros Academy: Demonstration Day
WooHoo! Finished and uploaded on time(if only just barely), despite me being gone for three days! Which might not seem like much of an accomplishment...if it weren't for the fact that this short clocked in at a whopping 8,394 words. Roughly 3,400 words beyond the usual 5k target for these shorts...
Sneak Peak of the Movie Theater
It's nothing impressive and not finished yet, but I figured I could put up a quick post with the main location for the movie theater date. The lighting, which is something like the bane of my existence, is going to need fixed still, at the very least (need to figure out how to make the screen gl...
General Update
Well, the polls for the next update have finished! I'm only half-surprised that Naomi won again, though it was a much closer thing this time. I've been tweaking the theater scene in anticipation of that being the probable location, since the votes for Lily were mostly at that location as wel...
Weight Poll for Eros Academy 1.9
This is the weighted poll for $5+ Patrons! See the main poll for details!On another note:I haven't forgotten about the monthly bonus content! Jaylee has floated several ideas for shorts that we are currently discussing, and I have a general map for the next MMS in case that ends up taking too lo...
The Focus of Update 1.9
Alright! I actually intended to put this up last night, but something came up and I ended up forgetting about it temporarily. This poll is for deciding the major focus of the next Eros Academy Update. For now, I'm continuing to focus on the dates, as I want to get the major story/date lines for ...
Eros Academy 1.8(Beta)
Okay, it's here! Yay!Having said that...First thing is first - There is currently a known pair of bugs that I haven't been able to get rid of. Neither are game breaking, but one is somewhat annoying.Update - I've fixed these two bugs, any new copies downloaded should be okay. If you'...
Quick Update
The coding for the update is pretty much done. Right now, I'm running through the new editions, squashing bugs and editing out the worst of my grammar errors and such. Unfortunately, there are so many possible variations with this update, that doing so is taking me longer than anticipated. I wil...
Update 1.8 is almost here!
Yes, you read that right! As of roughly midnight, I've finished all the renders (I think) needed for the 1.8 release. It came out to a grand total of 68 renders, which isn't quite a record, but it's pretty darn close. Just to give you some idea, the previous Naomi date only contained 52 ...
Old Rewards Update
Just a quick notice for the $1 Patrons. With the release of a new short story, the previous short "A Lost Bet" has been added to the "Old Rewards" post. The next reward in the queue (and thus the one likely to be transfered over this month, is Michael's first Mixed Media Short). ...
