Build 0.21 Delay
Hey y'all, hope everyone's been doing fine! There's a high chance that this month's $5 patron build will be delayed — at least for several days. It's my finals period and everything's a mad rush right now 🙏
Announcement: New billing method
Hi all, I've changed my billing method to the new one that Patreon has released. Previously, all patrons will be charged the moment they pledge — and then again on the 1st of every month. This means that pledging on the 31st is a terrible idea because you'd just get charged again the next ...
OIHS September 2022 Progress Update
Build 0.20 Patch NotesCONTENT: Quest with AlexiAUTHOR'S NOTEFans of Alexi rejoice! This month's update is a fat, fat chapter entirely on Alexi. I thought I got carried away with Pyrrhus's prison plotline, but this Quest takes the cake. Ah, but the adventure is too much fun to leave malno...

Hey all, I've been terribly busy. I hope I can finish 0.18 by the end of July, but the odds are leaning towards a day or two of delay 🙏

OIHS May 2022 Content Poll
Build 0.15 is up! You can explore it first before voting or just do it now. The poll options with names are things I have actual plans for, and I'll be finishing them all before wrapping up the Task. You can still vote for Coliseum and the Market Square if you want though, and I'll think of ...
OIHS April 2022 Progress Update
As y'all might have expected, this month will have a little lesser content than usual! The past few days have been crazy just trying to squeeze an entire month's work into a week (whew), but I actually managed to get out more than I expected :o But now that my semester is over, May will be b...
Build 0.15 Delay
Henlo everyone,I'm still in the thick of finishing my finals and haven't been able to divert attention towards working on OIHS. I've only managed to squeeze out a few scenes thus far, and honestly don't foresee myself getting free from school commitments any time soon. So instead of ...
OIHS April 2022 Content Poll
Yet another poll! I'll add some details about each location so the options are more transparent. I'm also very tired of writing smut every time, so I might cut down on that for April and focus more on progressing the StoryTM.Edit: I see having the Wolf under Cathedral made everyone suddenly ...
OIHS March 2022 Progress Update
A new commissioned character arrives! Lots more for our ram coming, but I'll be pacing his content out so that it develops naturally (as with the other commissioned characters). It was fun taking up the drawing pen again after several months of not having new sprites!This month's a short cha...
OIHS March 2022 Content Poll
The prison is done! I don't think we'll be visiting that area any time soon—and I'm certainly tired of writing for it. I will therefore tyrannically remove it from the poll as an option muahaha.As mentioned in my previous post, the Coliseum won the February vote and I'll be writing...
OIHS February 2022 Progress Update
I am dying! Like, literally, I am about to keel over. Juggling midterms and a visual novel on the side is not for the faint of heart, it seems. Who woulda thought? Usually, by the time the progress update is out, I'd have finished the month's build and begun finalising the nitty-gritty....Bu...
OIHS February 2022 Content Poll
Hope you lot enjoyed the prison content! There's no real need to vote for it this time, since I intend to finish the mining event by this update anyway. But you can still do it if you want... so I guess this is a reminder that you can vote for more than one option :PThe poll will close on 1st Fe...
OIHS January 2022 Progress Update
It's a new year! Well... it's been a new year for a while now—but still. Anyway, school term's started again and I'm now busy drowning in readings and assignments. I'm still managing to divert enough time to OIHS for now, but the prison content is waaay longer than I had antici...
OIHS January 2022 Content Poll
Ahoy! Now that the foundations for each area in Rajt have been established (only took me a while...), we can finally explore them deeper. They'll all get their time to shine, but these polls will now inform me which places to prioritise and write about first.How it works is that I have a few are...
