Pandemonium Development

Quick Words on Ophiucus

Project Ophiuchus is intended to be released in 2027 as “Strings of Eternity”. It will be a 10 dollar game on Itch.io and Steam. We are going to finish the game and rework it a bit to be shorter so it has a satisfying narrative completion. The original game was intended to be about three times longer, but there is an upcoming great depression so reworking the game to be shorter and faster to release it probably a good idea.

The game will feature four main transformations, lots of puzzles, a few hours of gameplay, a simple-but-effective RPG combat system, and probably a bonus boss and bonus TF. If it does well, maybe we’ll rework it, make a DLC, or release a sequel that shows more of the original vision.

The artists are presently working on Ophiucus to get it ready while I’ve been doing Witches of Ravenbrook work. With the new scope of the game I see a few more months of programming work for Ophiucus, particularly on necessary story reworks. Most of the puzzles are ready, the sketchwork for the entire manor is complete, and we’d need some more combat frames since Mei will have playable transformations in the game now.

You know, some of the authors I left reviews on have responded to me, thanking me for the critiques and intending to improve. Is Scribblehub Leakage making a difference? Probably not.

Witches of Ravenbrook Update Next Week

Previews of some things we’ve been working on and a look at the editor I’ve been busting my hump working on.

Scribblehub Leakage is Next Week

I was so swamped I didn’t even have time for literacy! The next episode comes out next week.

Holy Moly! Vhiel’s Darkwisp is now out!

Just in time for the holidays, Vhiel’s latest game Darkwisp is out. It has a demo version and a full version for a scant five bucks.

It’s got ghosts, possession, zombies, and yes it does have a little bit of doll. It’s a great, compact little game. Definitely worth a look and hey, free demo! Go give it a try.

Bottled Starlight Stuff on Sale!

Steam Scream Fest begins today, all our games are on sale. In addition, I set matching sales on Itch.io which you can find on this page. If you were waiting for a sale, now’s your big chance because we always do Halloween sales. Like, come on.

Major Witches of Ravenbrook Update in November

That’s in two weeks. I will be discussing our plans for Demo 2 as well as going over changes to Ophiucus and how we’re going to release it. We’ll also see some concept art around the new area and maybe some character stuff!

Scribblehub Leakage Episode 5

Find solace in the dumpster, protected from the elements. Episode 5 is out.

Welcome Change Halloween Collab is Out!

At long last the damn thing is out! As you can see from the ad copy, 14 comics and stories for just 10 bucks. Holy moley! Bottled Starlight’s contribution Moulded to Correction is in there, so get it while it’s hot.

It’s on Wechange!

Tales of Stings: Long Wing of the Law

Horrible joke courtesy of Terafreak. No royalties will be paid out in any circumstance.

That’s right, the latest Tales of Strings is out: Long Wing of the Law!

The chaos in Midvale over the past years has not gone unnoticed, but political paralysis and the True Path’s deep pockets have kept direct intervention away. That ends after the mayor is assassinated, and his replacement forms the ECTF, Exotic Crimes Task Force, to deal with both the True Path and the Knights of Justice. At first, they seem to at least be potential allies in the defense of Midvale, but there is always more going on. Who are the ECTF really, is this all as it appears, and just what is that strange sound Jamie keeps hearing?

This one comes highly recommended because it’s a Jamie-focused story and everyone loves Jamie. Get it on Wechange or Itch.io!

Next week we’ll see the next Elites story finished, and it’s the big exciting one where a lot is revealed. Look forward to that!

The best way to suffer is loudly and near others. In addition, I am yet again adding something to the format: I will only put a review on the Scribblehub page if I have something positive to say about the story. There’s a lot of dreck out there and yes, I can post a mean review of a bad story. Really, all that does is tell the author, who probably cares very deeply, that I want to ruin their day. I’m mean but I’m not that mean. My job here is to draw attention to good stories that are underrated.

Coding and Whatnot

A great man once said that you can rotate a cow in your head and nobody can stop you. Today, we supersede that. Today, we can rotate cubes.

This is me still working on the UI. I’m going to be adding a geometry editor to this section of the block editor, then we can work on texturing.

I got less done than I might want because this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. I didn’t even have any turkey.

Scribblehub Leakage: Episode 4

Some good, some bad. It’s Scribblehub Leakage! Read random fiction with the best of them!

The Red Before Dawn is out!

The next The Elites is out! You can get it for free on Itch.io and Wechange.me as usual, or keep up on Scribblehub. Next up is the big one where everything changes. Fight the Logic if You Can.

Witches of Ravenbrook UI

I have set up a basic UI for the editor. It has relocatable and resizable windows, buttons, labels, images, and a top menu. Next up will be actually integrating the editor in so it can modify the level, then adding an undo/redo stack.

This is pretty exciting!

Klaysee Publishes the Chapter 2 Updated Guide!

The walkthrough is here. It’s now 182 pages of pure Sanya!

Scribblehub Leakage: Episode 3

Get the fuck in you dork-ass losers we’re reviewing random unreviewed fiction on Scribblehub. We’ve already found some diamonds in the rough and you never know what you’ll find so tune in!

The Princess and the Puppet, and the Welcome Change Collab

The Welcome Change Halloween Bundle is live! You can get it here, and it includes the latest Tales of Strings entry: The Princess and the Puppet. This one is very hot, and has some high-quality images by Xandra so you know it’ll be good. It’s got hypnosis, mind-control, and best of all, doll transformation!

The bundle is here. 16 pieces for a cumulative 80% off.

You can also get the story individually on Wechange or Itch.io. I know some people can’t use Wechange for payment processor reasons so I put it on Itch, but please consider getting the Welcome Change version if you can. It supports creators in the TF space.

Meanwhile, the big Halloween Collab has been moved back a few days so some artists can get last-second changes in. It should still launch this week. The next Knights story, Long Wing of the Law, is about 1/3rd edited as well. Get psyched!

I am an extremely busy person with multiple projects on the go and I decided to take up a reading and critiquing assignment because I’m really stupid. Let’s see if reading a lot makes us smarter!

Witches of Ravenbrook

Yes I am now working on Witches of Ravenbrook again. Why? Because Ophiucus is basically as far as I’d like to get on it and needs further art. The first floor is basically all done, but the second floor is not, and it’s really hard to design puzzles and examinables when you’re staring at a black screen.

Thus, I am now working on Witches of Ravenbrook’s 3D editor interface. Yeah it’s just the top menu right now, I have to put in things like windows, tile editors, saving/loading/exporting, and an undo stack. It’s gonna take awhile so updates are gonna be boring for a while.

Why am I making a 3D world editor? Because none of the other editors I’ve found did *exactly* what I want them to do. Most of them are model and scene editors, not proper tile editors with collision editing. So I’m making my own. On the plus side it means I can make features just for Ravenbrook, and like everything else in the engine, it’s open-source so you’ll be able to use it to make 3D tile levels if you so desire.

Scribblehub Leakage – Episode 2

The Racc is BACK and this week we’re looking at three more random stories with zero reviews. I keep finding good ones! Check it out!

Tales of Strings Releases In October

In October we’re looking at three releases. Two for WelcomeChange bundles (including the big collab!) and one Knights story: Long Wing of the Law. I’m letting you know now because the wechange bundles go live in the first week of October, which lands next week. The Princess and the Puppet is in the bundle going live on October 1st and I’ll post about that next week.

Get hyped, it’s a hot story.
