Ruin Me 0.57.0.p: The Crazed Imago

Hello, perverts! Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope that you spent it experiencing self-love, whether with a partner or alone. This is a regular-size update after two huge ones, but it still involved me stretching my skills: I've added new art for an old horror expedition, "The Mica Sign."

Hotfix: Ruin Me 0.56.2-p

Hey, perverts! I just published a hotfix that addresses an error when asking Terry to wear a random outfit each day, as well as some other minor stuff. You shouldn't need to update (the bug won't mess up your save or anything) but it was a visible enough issue that I wanted to let y'all ...

0.56 Reflection and 0.57 Preview

Hey, perverts! I hope you all are doing well and that your new year has begun without too much strife. The recent release was huge, probably the last big overhaul that will touch every part of the game, and I think it's been a big success!

A quick note first: I've uploaded a pair of small h...

Feedback Request on Pricing Plan

Hey, special perverts! Thank you for your continued support if you stuck around while I was working on Terrence, and thanks for coming back or pledging for the first time if not!

Ruin Me 0.55.3 Now Public

This free version does not yet incl...

Ruin Me 0.56.0-p: Terrence Radcliffe

Hi, perverts! I hope your 2024 is going well so far. It's the second huge release in a row for Ruin Me! You can now choose to train Terrence instead of Theresa. This update involved touching basically every single game file in some way: updating pronouns, adding alternate versions of activities, ...

Final Status Update on 0.56

Hello, perverts! Happy new year! I was hoping to be able to post a release today, but I didn't manage to finish everything for Terrence. It's very close; I can play through the whole game as him, but the art isn't quite done, as you can see in the picture for this post.

Supporting Terrence,...

Status Update on 0.56

Hi, perverts! Here's an update on how the next release is coming along! For a quick summary: I've done a bunch of work, but it's probably not going to be ready in November.

0.55 Reflection and 0.56 Preview

Hi, perverts! I'm super happy to have gotten the final graduation option released! It's been a big chunk of writing looming on my to-do list. Now, the only major big event left to write for the game (i.e. bigger than a horror expedition) is the finale of the plot.

There have been a few bug ...

Priorities Poll Nov 2023

Hi, special perverts! As I do periodically, I want to get a calibration from y'all on where you think my priorities should be for ongoing Ruin Me development. We're getting closer to the game being done, and I want to spend my time in ways that make sense both for the quality of the game as well ...

Poll Aug 6 2023: Whither Web?

Hello, special perverts! Thank you to everyone who weighed in on the previous poll. It looks like only a couple of you use multiple saves with different characters, and no one reports restarting just f...

0.54 Reflection and 0.55 Preview

Happy Labor Day, perverts! At the time of Ruin Me, it would have been a relatively new holiday; it was signed into law in 1894, so somewhere vaguely around when Theresa was born. I can't say for sure, because the game doesn't take place at any specific year. You might wonder why the US celebrates...

Poll Aug 2023: How do you play Ruin Me?

Hi, special perverts! I haven't been putting as many polls up for you as I want to, even when I'm able to actively work on Ruin Me, and part of it is that I've felt like they need to be Good Questions about Important Aspects of my Work. As a result of these high standards, I'd hold off and only l...

A special experimental feature: I've used Ren'Py'...

Hi, perverts! If you're reading this, thank you for keeping up with the project after my unplanned delay in work. I've had stuff cooking for a day job that hopefully will give me more space to work on Ruin Me without worrying about where my rent is coming from, but it meant that my brain...

Ruin Me 0.53.0: The Wrens

Hello, perverts! It's been a long time! Thank you so much for waiting, whether you put your support on hiatus or you've continued to pledge without a release. I've been working through writer's block and mental health stuff, while also working on a proposal for my non-horny career that will hopef...

Progress Report on 0.53

Hi, perverts! I still exist, and I'm still working on the next release. February was a weird month for me, with some medical stuff and personal stuff: nothing bad, but it did take up some of my time. Thank you so much for your patience!

The new "bird" task, The Wrens, is in progress. It's c...

0.52 Reflection and 0.53 Preview

Hello, perverts! I'm doing pretty well and I'm looking ahead to see that I've almost reached three years of working on this game, which is both bizarre and exciting.

Hello, special perverts! If anyone has requests for extra options, brief scenes, or random events that you'd like to see in the game, please send them to me!

Hello, perverts! Happy 2023. I hope you're doing well! I'd still love to hear about places and people that would be a way for me to let people know about Ruin Me.
