Hey all, I just wanted to do something a little special for the birthday of my biggest supporter, not just in terms of Patronage but also in advice, moral support and just general having the back of a newbie dev like me, and also the biggest Moonsong superfan, Panda/Pandalin/PandaDrummer.
Something tells me there might be some Moonsong stuff going on today.
Man, what a frustrating day. I probably shouldn’t be writing this on Day 1 of the release, as this blew over pretty quickly last time, but hey ho, I need to vent.
So, Chapter 2 got released and all the feedback or reviews I have received about the actual update, has pretty much been extremely positive. Like 95%.
Trouble is, the new update is bringing new eyes to Origin Story in ge...

Hey all.
As I have previously mentioned, I was aiming for a February release of Chapter 2 and it is with a heavy heart that I must advise... short of anything in my life throwing a spanner in the works... that still stands.
Official release is set for Feb 2nd 2024.
Early access will start hitting for the different tiers as follows:

Hi all, it’s development update time.
So it's been a bit of a rollercoaster since the December 1st launch of Origin Story Chapter 1 and while dealing with all the community engagement and promotion, I’ve been juggling working on various things for chapters 1 through 4. Yes, even the already-released chapter 1 (more on that in a bit).
But I’ll start with this. When Iâ...

2024-01-01 16:15:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. I just wanted to write a quick message to wish all my members a happy holidays. I hope you all have had or are having a wonderful day so far, and that it continues over the festive season.
Thanks to all of you for sticking with me so far in 2023, it means a huge deal to me.

Here's the final of the custom renders I promised to the first five pledges before release.
Cate wasn't in the first five, but after a series of renders being declined, or my messages being ignored, I moved on to Cate, who I was happy to make an image for as they have left me some nice comments and reviews around.
Amongst other characters, Cate took a liking to Lady Steel... the sup...

Hello all. If you've joined since 1st December (which is nearly all of you), you'll notice there are some previews for Chapter 3, but none for the upcoming Chapter 2 (ETA Feb 2024). This is because all my existing Patreon's pre-1st December had already played a demo, which included Chapter 2... so all the previews were for their benefit.
Chapter 2 has changed quite a bit since said demo w...

Well it's that time of year, and now that Origin Story is released I naturally have to do the obligatory christmas renders. There'll be one a weekend in the run up to christmas.

Hey all.
It’s been a full on few days since the release of the first chapter, but I have mostly had extremely positive feedback so to say I’m pleased is an understatement. And as a result, there’s a whole bunch of new people who’ll be reading this (hello!).
There have been a few bits of criticism, but only some of it justified, so I will be making some amendments where neces...

For the sake of all the new patrons since yesterday, a while ago I promised to make a custom personalised render for the first five patrons to pledge, of a character of their choice.
Today we have one for Alvi97, who was actually the sixth pledge, but the fourth pledge declined their custom render and the fifth one hasn't told me who they want yet. So lucky for Alvi.
They have...

Hey all,
My adrenaline and anxiety have been going nuts all day! Yay! Feedback is mostly very positive so far though, so I'm pretty damn pleased.
Here's the link to the itch.io page too.

2023-12-01 07:33:11 +0000 UTC View PostGood day everyone!
As you may have noticed, my banner up there recently changed, promising that Origin Story will be "coming soon".
I'm pleased to announce the first chapter of Origin Story will officially release on December 1st (if everything goes to plan). It is totally not meant to coincide with the end of No Nut November at all!
Now, there'll be no early access for Patron...

Hey all,
I'm going away for a few days so thought I'd drop in a quick development update before I go quiet for a while.
Work on Chapter 3 is still progressing with now only two more conversational scenes and then a little hook to end the chapter with to pose, render and postwork. Once that's done I'll work on the music and audio, get it proofread and then it'll be time to start prom...

Hi all,
Time for something different today. Here's a little bit of a behind the scenes sneak peek of environment design and my thought process behind it.
I've got a pretty substantial scene in Evelyn's bedroom coming up soon (no you perv, not that kind of scene) so it was time to get designing the environment - which I've been doing the past couple of evenings.
I'm not...
Another custom appreciation render for joining the legend tier. Thank you Invisovsky!

I like my renders to have a little background detail in them to make the world feel lived in. Sometimes that might mean throwing up some posters on a bedroom wall for movies or bands that exist within the universe of Origin Story. Here's a render that I'll be using for a poster for the movie The Assistant. It's just a casual throwaway background thing that bears no significance to the story... ...

Hi all,
I'm going to start trying to do some more frequent development updates so you can see what I'm working on, and how far things are progressing.
I'm currently working on Chapter 3 which will be an important chapter, not because of the content in it, but because when I have finished it I'm going to start officially releasing and fully promoting Origin Story.
If you're alr...

The thing is, Panda also pledged to the Legend tier, so not only do they get a render for being the 3rd patron, but they get the legend tier's custom render too :)

Another patron, and subscribing to the highest tier of the new tiers I created too! A very special thank you to Panda who's picked Moonsong as his favourite Origin Story gal, and I can't say I blame him.
