General Update (Poll Results, Haven's Port, Other Stuff)
🕑 Added 2020-10-09 01:01:12 +0000 UTCNOTE: While I was writing this, I realized that the web version of the games were both down. I've contacted the host and, after arguing with them over the definition of 'unmetered' bandwidth -_-, they claim that the domain will be back up within 1-6 hours. Please let me know if there are any issues. (I wouldn't put it past them to try and limit my bandwidth use after I argued with them about it).
First, a couple of general things. I would like to ask again that anyone willing to spend a bit of time to help keep this Patreon going, please please please, consider writing a quick review of either Chastity Quest or Haven's Port (or both!) over at either TF Games or F95 Zone. Barring that, upvoting the Reddit posts is even easier and helps at least a little.

Okay, with that plea out of the way, the next thing I have is an apology. I was only just recently made aware that Mega doesn't allow downloads of more than 5gb for free accounts (unless you use Mega Sync and split it across days). I was UNAWARE of this and now feel horrible about using Mega as the first upload (and often only for a while) of various games. I've updated the Build 7 and Build 8 release posts with multiple additional options for download. And if there is ever a problem like that, for the love of hentai, PLEASE mention it to me so I can do something about it :-(. I'm sooooooo sorry for this oversight up until now, as it must have been occurring for some months with Chastity Quest, and possibly some of the later builds of DoL too :-(.

Next! Poll Results! I actually should have posted this several days ago, but between wrapping up Chastity Quest and the SNAFU with the uploads, it kept slipping my mind. The Haven's Port Focus Poll and Short Story Rewards Poll both finished on the first, with the following results:
Haven's Port Focus Poll: Between Transformation Content and BDSM Content, the BDSM option won by a virtual landslide! I admit, that actually surprised me quite a bit. Not necessarily that it won, but that it won by an 80/20 split. I suppose, when it comes right down to it, that BDSM content is actually rarer than Transofmraiton Content? Or, you guys simply liked the Pet Shop stuff, maybe :-p. Hmm, or even Catapin Temlin. Not that I can blame you on either of those...Violet and the Good Captain might be my own two favorites in Haven's Port so far.
Either way, for those that can't see, or didn't participate in, the poll, the BDSM option winning means two things. First, that that I'll be adding a few more scenes to the Pet Shop content. Another Pony work scene and another Violet scene are both planned, at the very least. Second, the expansion of the Cottage Playroom. The October build will add the third piece of purchasable equipment for the room (I've settled on a Bondage X-Cross), and I intend for their to be at least one scene of the MC using each device as the occupant. Depending on how things go, there might be some other scenes using them as well.
Short Story Poll: This one was less of a landslide, but still had a very clear winner, with Galactic Nomad taking 60% of the vote. This makes me happy, as it means people liked it! It's also the story that I'm most enthusiastic about myself, at the moment, since it's a new idea. So I'm doubly glad it won. I'm hoping to get a solid start on it tonight!

Haven's Port Progress Report/Plans
Last but certainly far from least, is a quick report about Haven's Port. I'm afraid that so far, the report is mostly that I haven't done a lot yet. I didn't even get a chance to start on it until late on the 5th, and I've had a couple of fairly typical false starts on new render sets. It's pretty normal for that to happen when I'm screwing around with the lighting for a new scene. That means that, so far, I've only completed 3 renders in total. Though with any luck that will actually double by the time I crash tomorrow in the A.M. You'll note from the post image that one of those renders is FINALLY getting a fix for the render I keep forgetting, a correct render for the Cottage Sleep scene. Though the more I look at it, the more I think I need to darken it a bit more. Ah well, that's something easily done with photoshop, rather than needing a re-render.
Just to manage expectations a bit...I'm actively planning to only shoot for 8-10 scenes this month, instead of the typical 10-12. Deadlines have been increasingly running away on me, mostly due to things beyond my control. Shortening the target scene list just a tad will hopefully help get things back on track for both games.
