Night Games – PW Bugfix 3 Public Release

Hi Everybody,

It’s time for a new public release. PW Bugfix 3 is now available to everyone.

I don’t really update this blog anymore, but I wanted to make a post in case someone ends up here who doesn’t check my Patreon page or Discord. Both of those places are better sources for news if you’re curious what’s happening with the game. The Discord server is open to everyone, so don’t hesitate to stop by.

If you are supporting at $5 a month or more, you can grab the premium version with extra art from my Patreon page.

Night Games OTGb2 Public Release

Hi Everybody!

The newest version of Night Games is now available to everyone. It’s been in development for a long time, so this ended up being a pretty huge update. We’ve got a new character, the concept of seasons, 3 specializations, a bunch of engine work, and a ton of new scenes.

As I did with the Patron version, I’ve included a Windows executable version of the game in addition to the normal runnable jar file. It’s quite a bit bigger, but if you’re having trouble running the jar and are on Windows, that will probably be useful.

As always, if you’re interested in the premium version -which is now up to 26 exclusive CG- it’s available if you pledge $5 a month or more on Patreon.

Public Release delayed to Wednesday

I apologize for this delay, but I’m pushing back the public release 4 days.

The first and most basic patron reward I offer is getting access to the game a week before it goes public. Unfortunately this update had some nasty bugs at launch, so a lot of people couldn’t really play it until the bugfix I released on Wednesday. Out of fairness to them, I am going to consider that the start of the one week exclusivity window.

Again, sorry for the delay, but the new Update including bugfixes will be publicly available on Wednesday 2/27, probably in the evening.

Night Games – OTG Patron release

The big new update for Night Games has been released to patrons. You can check it out at the link below:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/night-games-on-24750550

This update will be available to everyone for free on Saturday, Feb 23. If you don’t want to wait, consider pledging to me on Patreon and getting it immediately. If you pledge at $5 a month or above, you can get the premium version with a couple dozen extra CGs.

 

Closing the Forum

The Forums got hacked, and before that I couldn’t keep up with all the spam. The community has moved to the Discord server, so I don’t really see the point trying to fix them. I’ve disabled the forums for the foreseeable future.

If you aren’t already on the Discord server, you can access it here: http://discord.gg/waxVZnv

 

Looking for Freelance Writers

Hi everyone!

I’ve had some turnover with the freelance writers I’ve been commissioning. I’m down to a couple of regular writers. They’re good, but I could use a couple more. If you’re interested in writing some scenes on commission, send me an email at thesilverbard@gmail.com with a sample of your writing.

I know I’d get more responses if I posted on Reddit or some other public forum, but I’d rather work with people who are already familiar with the Night Games.

Night Games update preview

Hi Everybody!
If you’ve been following us closely, you’ll probably know that I’ve been working on another game between Night Games updates. I don’t remember whether I’ve mentioned publicly, but that is going to delay our normal 2 month release schedule a bit.
The next Night Games update is planned for the middle of May. For you guys who are waiting patiently, I wanted to put together a preview of some of the stuff that will be in it. Some of this is still in development, so it’s possible a couple of these won’t make the update, but this is what we have planned.
  • Above, you’ll see the new and improved clothing change menu. That was our single worse UI element, so I figured it could use an overhaul. It’s part of a new daytime location, the Player’s room, which will be used for some miscellaneous actions.
  • Obviously we also have the sprites for Lilly and Alice, the first sprites for non-combatant NPCs. We’ll gradually add sprites for the other secondary characters in future updates.
  • There are lots of new items added to extend the usefulness of item caches into the mid and late game. Some of them are new consumables, some are components for upgrading equipment.
  • Speaking of upgrading equipment, we’re adding a new sex toy, the Excalibur, with lots of possible upgrades. Using the new attachment system, there are more than 10 possible upgrades for the Excalibur over the course of the game. If the player invests enough time and money into it, it will become an incredibly powerful weapon.
  • Additionally, we’re adding additional upgrades to the existing sex toys. The new upgrades will only be available at higher ranks and will require rare items only found in caches. There is some luck involved in finding the components, but upgrading will keep your toys useful in the late game.
  • There’s a new Animism skill, Beast Form, that improves Power and Speed while Feral and temporarily gives the Player wolf ears and a tail. This will allow the player to use Tailjob and Tailpeg, which were previously only usable by NPCs.
  • Players with Dark skills can now gain semen by masturbating, which will allow them to create Enthralling Traps like Reyka and Angel do.
  • At high levels of Arcane, the normal faerie pets are replaced by royal faeries, with stronger abilities.
  • A much requested feature, there is now an in-game list of unlockable skills when choosing Attribute points.
  • Players can now challenge Angel and her friends to “The Gauntlet.” Each of them will attempt to make him cum within a time limit. If the Player has high enough max Arousal to endure, he’ll get a valuable prize.
  • Players will hear about the powerful Way of the Golden Cock technique from Aesop. If the Player can fulfill all the requirements, they will unlock a power-up that will give them a major advantage.
  • There will also be a lot of new art and scenes that I’m going to list individually. I will say at least that all of the main girls will have night off scenes.
I hope you guys are looking forward to this update. Now I need to get back to work on it.

Lilly Sprite Preview

Hi Everybody!
As you can see, the sprite for Lilly, the supervisor of the Games is done. She’s pretty cute, and totally unfuckable (at least for the foreseeable future).
I don’t have this entire update planned out yet, but I think I’ll probably put out a poll for another character sprite in a week or so. Alice had a pretty strong 2nd place showing in the previous poll (also currently unfuckable), but I’m not going to presume the results without giving people another chance to vote.
For people who are interested, I’m currently planning an early-mid May release for the next update. It’s a bit longer than our usual release cycle, but I’ve been budgeting time to another game project that I’ve previously alluded to. There should be a hell of a lot of new content in that, since we passed the $1200 Patreon goal, so I was able to increase the monthly writing budget.
I’m not sure when I’m going to have a public demo for the new game. I’m pretty confident I can finish the combat engine and have a proof of concept done before the end of the month. However, I feel like I should replace some of the placeholder UI and art assets before releasing anything public. That will mean diverting AimlessArt away from Night Games for a while, which I’m currently not ready to do.
Also, a community member, tarcs, just started a poll in the forums. I know the forums don’t normally get a lot of traffic (not counting Russian and Italian spambots), so I’m trying to point some people in that direction. Stop by and vote if you have a sec. I’m not sure whether you need to be registered on the forum to do so. The results of that poll will have a direct influence on where I will budget future writing.
