Exercising your right to vote means paying a price

So I'm American and I voted in a primary recently. I won't say which one or where; it isn't much of a mystery though. Long story short some woman with the plague was stuck next to me and I got REALLY sick there and I'm pretty much stuck in bed. I will be taking a day or two off. I'd been working while sick, but my fever has gotten to the point where it's not smart to ignore it anymore.

See you in a day or two!

Home Invasion

Hey all! I'm going to work on another game after Overwhored. It isn't far enough along for its own thread yet, but I want to link you all to a post on my Patreon that goes into it in detail and shows a bunch of picture previews.

Overwhored Version 1.1

Hello again all! There were some bugs that slipped through the beta tests, I've played through myself and fixed up just about all of them. There will still be a few typos in the items but otherwise this should be good to go. Version 1.1 has nothing new, just bugfixes. If you completed version 1.0 without issue then you won't need this. If you hit a game-stopping bug this should help!

It has been a wild ride, everyone. Five years and tons of support have produced a spectacular game. When I started there was one adult RPG in english (Legend of Queen Opala), now there's several. I wanted to give my own spin on things and create a game where you played the bad guy and ended up basing it on a parody of Overlord and a Theology Essay that I wrote.

Now it is done. Enjoy, everyone.

(NoMoshing will no longer be hosting other people's games on BadKittyGames, so here is a Mega link for now. I'll add more options including a torrent option in the near future.)

And in case you've been linked here and have no idea what Overwhored is:
Overwhored is a fun RPG that puts you in the role of the Overmind, an immortal man that seeks to brainwash and bang all the women of the world. Three years ago you were slain by a group of mighty heroines, but now you have been revived by your loyal servants to fight them again!
The game has commissioned art from spectacular artists like Sleepymaid, PChronos, Hombre Blanco, and Mindwipe, as well as many other skilled artists!


Here are some previews of what you'll find in the game:

This is not the end of the journey - I will make more games in the future. So long as you support I will create.

Final Beta Tonight

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that I've been crunching down on the game over the past few days. All that remains is nametagging, and the blunt truth is that I'm going completely insane from doing nothing but this repetitive stuff. I can do it just as well while you're beta testing and if/when you find bugs it'll give me something else to do.  There's no sense in putting things off any longer - I'm sorry it took so long to get here, I just want to get this done so I don't have to come back to it again. Every major bug fixed, every major issue solved.

I'm going to do a bit more polish, fill out one sex scene I put off to the end and then upload this to Patreon tonight.

EDIT: It is now up on Patreon. The post with a link to the beta is visible to $1+ donors. If you don't want to donate remember, the public release will be out next week!

Upcoming plans and a release date

Right now I'm looking at next Monday as a release date for the beta. I really want Overwhored done, and I want it done right. I don't want to revisit this a bunch of times. I've been working on this for five years. I think it's fair to say I'm deeply satisfied to see it come to a close but also utterly sick of it. When I'm done with it I intend to stay done with it. I don't intend to delay it any further than that, but if I'm not satisfied with it at that point I will. I want this beta to be the very last beta.

I went and did my taxes, and doing them like this for the first time was an enlightening experience. The taxes weren't as much as I expected, but having the taxes done cost as much as the taxes themselves. That is a first, and was quite startling. I'll have to make alternate arrangements next year. The main reason they were so low was because I didn't keep any of the money for myself, I used it all to pay for artists! There's an upside to it after all.

Some people have had issues accessing donor content with the current system. I'm going to make new posts to get that stuff as well as message current donors with that. You can still access it, you just have to scroll through ALL my posts to see the old ones that have it. Obviously that's unacceptable, so a repost will come in short order. I hope Patreon fixes this soon.

I also have a few announcements to make. I'm bringing on a new artist to the team who goes by Tsudanym, or Short Blue Imp. Imp did a bonus sketch I'll send to donors this month (bonus sketches are a bit lean this month as taxes and pre-production for Home Invasion are ramping up). Right now I'm considering him for the underlying sketch-work for the Home Invasion sex scenes. I'm also having some color tests done on this sketch to see how it'll look colored by various artists who might end up doing color work for the project.

Another thing to announce is that one of the artists working on the project, F-ing, has put out a new issue of Dimension H. This is their comic, and it sort of reminds me of the old days of Heavy Metal magazine in some respects. Give it a look over!

Also, Shameful Display has also posted a select few bonus images done for the patreon on his tumblr. As with Mindwipe, I approved this. I won't lie, I hope that having a taste of the bonus art encourages a few more people to donate at the $10 level.

Finally, a bit more long term prospect material. I'm not sure how long Home Invasion will take to produce. There will be about 15-20 full pictures, voice actresses to find and pay, editors and a number of other things to deal with. I'll probably have to slow down the progress more than I'd like to get it done without breaking the bank. I basically didn't take any of the money from the Patreon last year for myself; I'd like to make a LITTLE bit of money from it this year. I intend to move off the farm and go to Washington no matter what. If Patreon doesn't provide living wages on top of funding the games (and it won't because I'm not the Breeding Season team) I'll have to get a full time job there, which puts us in the same production situation as we have now. Home Invasion won't have monthly updates - visual novels are a different beast and it won't be so regular. On the other hand, the releases will be more substantial when they are done. There are five days, I'll probably make a release every time a day is complete. Writing doesn't take long, but art does. That's part of why I'm going through a slightly more expensive but faster process of having one person sketch, one person do ink, and one person do color.

I'm going to work on a demo, first. It won't have voice work and will have some placeholder assets. The pic with this post is one of them. While I'm working on that I'll also work on a game guide for Overwhored.

I hope this helps keep you well informed. Thanks a bunch for your time and support!

Overwhored Ver 0.9.5 Public Release - Final Story Release!

This is it, it's here! It's at the usual place at BadKittyGames.

badkittygames.net/games/ow

This adds a LOT of stuff, but most importantly you can finish the game!

I will note that this is NOT the final version of the game. There are two flashback sequences that need added in and some features (such as the orb of dominion) are functional system wise but need content added on. The combat in this chapter is also very basic right now but will be filled in with the 1.0 release at the end of this month/start of February. Still, if you want to see the ending this is where you do it!

A quick note: Some weather effects were causing a ton of problems in the beta, so I've disabled them for now. They still render old saves non-functional, however. I'm working on a fix that should be in during the 1.0 release.  In case I missed something I put my avatar in the game next to the bridge leading up to the Tower of Heaven.
