Update - 31 October 2016
🕑 Added 2016-10-31 03:15:54 +0000 UTC tl;dr - We passed the $1250 goal which means in future I'll have better 3D assets in my images! Also, I've been working on the harem victory suite.This week's image
As I'll discuss below, getting extra sets, costume items and props, etc. is now much easier because I've passed the $1250 goal and this image is a direct beneficiary!
So this is a collectible card and for that reason I was hesitant to show it, since you probably want to find it yourself. Still, there's not a lot of stuff I can show you from the victory suite or my recent renders (for various reasons) so I thought this one might make a nice little feature. I'm thinking I might use the seraglio in the background as the environment for the harem victory suite, too.
Passed the $1250 goal!
This is exciting! Expect to see an increase in the standard of my images in future!
Okay, at time of writing this the number has gone below $1250 again. Also, I know that when the new month rolls around we always get a dip in subscriber numbers as some people get their payments declined and they get removed from the front-facing money. Still, I plan to treat this goal as passed from now on. So what does this mean?
Well, it means I've got myself a Platinum Club Plus membership at Daz Studio to receive their free monthly 3D assets, as well as a discount on all future purchases from their store. Daz has a huge number of high quality 3D assets for my image renders and when you use the good quality stuff it not only improves the results by a huge amount, it can also save me some time since I don't have to go to so much trouble to make the scenes work.
Honestly, this actually won't change a whole lot for PAL. I have already made most of the images and I'm not likely to be buying up new sets to replace the old ones. This will, however, effect all the future projects a lot. From now on when design a new scene I'll pick up the best set available for it; and when I design a new character I will be able to get plenty of new hairstyles, skin textures and outfits.
Building the harem victory suite
I've been working this week on designing the victory suite, setting up the content for it and I even wrote and illustrated a new scene for it, too. My progress on this hasn't been quite as fast as I'd hoped but it's still coming along, and I'm also filling in some gaps here and there of things that I hadn't yet completed in the main game.
I realise I haven't necessarily explained the victory suite all that well in past, so I'll try to do a better job now. After the harem ending the game doesn't actually end - instead you get dropped into a series of rooms that function a little bit like an in-game museum. Step into various rooms and you'll be able to view a variety of cut content, extra scenes that don't fit into the game's story and you can replay all the sex scenes. This full-featured victory suite was a fundraising goal and I'm very happy to be including it in the game.
Some things included are a number of scenes that have the characters acting kinky to an extent that doesn't quite fit their character, so I wouldn't necessarily want the scenes to constitute part of the main story. Others are just a bit of fun and mucking about. Some stuff has been commissioned by patrons while other things are just random ideas I've had. There's also a bunch of art from Phinn that I couldn't use in the game, as well as probably some early concept shots if you are interested in a 'behind the scenes' look at the game development.

You're welcome! There is a hints post that I set up here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/spoiler-alert-to-6509283">https://www.patreon.com/posts/spoiler-alert-to-6509283</a> Once the game comes out publicly I'm expecting the community will come up with a walkthrough for the more hidden content. In the next version you'll find that there's an in-game readme which has a commands list, but also generally the game suggests commands to you so there's not a lot of hidden ones.
BBBen, Thanks for creating and sharing your fantastic games. I'm new to Patreon even though I've been lurking in the AIF community for over a decade. I'm having a difficult time searching through Patreon finding information and it wasn't until I happened upon a post referencing reading books that I realized there was more than just interacting with the girls in different locations. With that in mind, is there a hints/tips posting to help new contributors get familiar with the play style you envisioned for this game. Maybe even some commands that the girls respond to? Perhaps even a readme.txt with the game would be good for replay after a few years. I'm sure you are familiar how frustrating it can be trying to replay an old favorite and playing guess the verb or syntax. Anyway, thanks again for your hard work, it's very enjoyable.

Yeah, that's a fair question. I've been planning to do it in one go but I may actually have to split it up into two updates, I'm not sure. I'm still making up my mind about that.

Are you going to release the harem and victory suite as a whole or are you going to split it into parts. I'd imagine it is quite a lot of stuff, just from what i wanted to be in it.
