The Halloween-themed live event is planned to start on October 21st and run until November 11th. Expect some potential bugs and other strangeness as these systems are rolled out. These dates are tentative, and bugs or other problems may cause delays.

I will need to ask patrons to please try...

Lunar Magic Arc - Part 2 Preview

Lunar Magic Arc - Part 2 Preview

Ghouls aren't the only issue plaguing the village after the inquisition forged a grudge weapon nearby; the land itself is also poisoned. The local lord tasks the intrepid Iris with retrieving a magic tome that can help, but to do so, she'll have to confront a skilled assassin from a foreign land....

Dryad Magic

Dryad Magic

Strange school of magic that summons and controls plants to deal physical damage. Has high MP costs, but boasts high burst damage, can buff physical damage, and offers emergency healing. Pairs well with black magic for consistency and aura management, and with sky magic to offset the high MP cost...

Mods and plug-ins!

Mods and plug-ins!

Mod tools are still a long way off in Hex, but I created my own tools and interfaces to work on official plug-ins. These plug-ins will be managed by the game server so that I can remotely add content to the game. I hope to be able to use these plug-ins to do neat things like add timed ev...

We've switched to subscription billing

From now on, when patrons subscribe, they'll be charged based on the time of the month that they first subscribed rather than always being charged on the 1st (or so) of the month.

Also, I've turned on Patreon's "autopilot" promotion feature, which basically offers a promotional price to fr...

De-number-ifying design

De-number-ifying design

Of the various things I learned or came to learn about myself while making SS all these years, it's that numbers suck. Numbers create defined limits and defined points of articulation that are often unnecessary and actually complicate design when they don't need to. Take, for exampl...

Plans for Hex v0.0.9α

Hex v0.0.9α will come out probably in October sometime. It will not be a huge update, so don't expect too much. Here's what I'm thinking:

  • Boss challenges in the Throne Realm. You'll be able to rematch with bosses you've encountered in the story so far, b...

Hex - Challenges and Rematches

In v0.0.9, you'll be able to compete challenges and boss rematches for silver coins, which can then be used to purchase special items at the challenge shop! Completing the rematches flawlessly will count toward achieving goals, but won't alter the game's story.

Right now, t...

Patrons on Windows, please fill out this survey.

It's just three questions, so it should only take a minute. This is a quick and dirty hardware survey. I need to make a decision about what systems Hex will support, and this will help me do that.

Granted, it's just barely in the first load. It may not be there when you go check. We're at position #31 right now.

This is by far the highest SS has ever gotten. Itch messed around a lot with its algorithm last year, chan...

I'm curious: who's your favorite romance partner?

If haven't done them all, or have only done one, that's fine. Or if you did one person but kinda wish you did someone else, you can pick that person. I'm just curious as to who's the most popular or who you felt most drawn to/attracted to.

Deadline? What's that?

I had some issues with testing the endings because of how many variables there are to consider :/

I also have to finish the request that gives players access to the debtors' prison w/o needing to run out of money, and a few other small things.

I don't think it's necessarily because the endings are so good, I think it's because this game is such a big part of my life.

Endings Coming in v0.15

About half of the possible endings and ending variations will be available in v0.15 when it releases. If you're wondering whether your ending will be available, it will largely be based on which plan you chose at the end of chapter 3. If you went with the bandits, guards, or witches, you should b...

SS v0.15 release window

The first week or so of September is the most likely release window for v0.15. I'm making decent time, and some stuff I thought would take more time took less, so it's possible I could knuckle down and release it before the end of the month, but I think what I'll do is just spend an...

Other Combat Partners | The Cutting Room Floor

If you play chapter 4, you may find it strange that no matter who's plan you go with, who your romance partner is, or who you have the closest relationship with, you always team up with Priscilla for combat. This was not always the plan, as I initially hoped to have Rais and Charlotte available a...

The flashing/exposure activity is getting some love. In v0.15, the "shame" system previously used by this activity is being replaced by "detection" and "fear," which will be displayed with meters. As you expose yourself, both meters will go up. If your fear gets to high, the player character will...
