New UI addition we've been working on
Hey everyone! Giving you a little preview about a new addition coming to Update 22.UI Character Portraits!This has been something I've wanted to add for a long while, and have actually tried to add. But realized I just wasn't the right artist for it. So, it was put on the shelf for a while... Until now! Made possible by that extra budget we've gotten, we got Gveanel as our guest artist for this one! The idea is that whenever a certain character speaks it'll show their little portrait in the spot of the compass.Of course we won&#...
Conway Update 21 is now available!
Hey everyone, hope you are all sufficiently spooked so that you can now deal with the cozier things in life. Like furry stories!This was a very late compile (in fact I am compiling as I write this post), so of course as always let me know if you notice any errors so that we can squash them.Update #21 it is, and it is named "Égalité"! And I think it's actually our biggest Update yet, in no small part due to Mando just having zero self-control, and a roll-over scene from last time. So yeh, for this one we're clocking in just ab...
Update 21 Preview
A little sneak peek of what to expect from Update 21, and uh oh... what are those two up to?!Whatever it is, it can't be good...
Opening for some more quick sketch commissions (Already filled unfortunately)
Edit: Already all slots filled. Sorry! Appreciate the interest though <3 Expensive time for me currently, so I appreciate you all in helping with that.Hey everyone,with me currently being a bit out of commission with my PC being borked i figured I'd take on some quick traditional sketch commissions again.Examples you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/opening-for-some-135390159These will be graphite sketches. Meaning it'll essentially be you chucking your ref at my head and the rest will be artist's-choice.For this round ...
Early Bird - Arthur & Rajeeyah
Artwork for an upcoming scene in Update 21. I want to try a bit of a movie-oriented back and forth with close-ups. Not sure if it'll work as we hope, but we can only try!So yeh, have some close-ups!Also it'll no doubt again throw up the somewhat confusing situation where the Rajeeyah artwork ends up in the Arthur section of the gallery. But i feel splitting the artwork would make it even more confusing. Then we'd have two spots in the gallery for the same scene...
Observation Deck - Navigator Pack
Hey everyone,hope you are all doing well. Feels like we've reached about the peak of the nice autumn colors. A bit rainy today but still very nice view outside. Even if it's currently blocked by some construction scaffolding as they redo the balcony. Hopefully they'll be done soon, is starting to get a bit annoying to be woken up by construction sounds on so many days...Anyway, in this pack we've got the PSD file for the painting "Observation Deck". I did it for Eurofurence a little while back and forgot to actually put ...

We now have a Conway Merch Store!
Hey everyone! It's been in the work for a little bit but we now have an official merch store for Conway. Some people have been asking if there is anything they could buy, or expressed how much they like this or that artwork, and so why not provide the option?You can find the store here:> > https://conwayship.store/ < We tried to offer some variety, so we got traditional prints & Canvases, we got a limited amount of clothing, some stickers and stuff like mugs, mousepads etc.And depending on well this does we'll add more and also might co...
Observation Deck
Oh, have kind of forgotten to post this after EF. But yeh, as GoH of course ended up doing a bit of art for them. I didn't have time for a lot so it just was this piece, but that's how it goes sometimes when things are busy. (As game development tends to be)But yeh, enjoy!

Work in Progress Update 21 is now available
Hey everyone! Hope you're having a pleasant start to your autumn. Thankfully the heat is gone by now and now we've got that perfect middle-ground over here. Love it.But of course we're here for the WIP update, so first of all, as always: !!!DO NOT SAVE IN THE NEW SECTIONS!!!They are still unfinished and subject to change, so it's very possible that you might end up on wrong paths in the final update, might be missing variables or, in the worst case, the save might just straight up break.The cheat code for this version is: mayfly...

Update 20 Preview - Some New Old Art
Another little preview of what's to come with the public release of Update 20. The picture of Wolf with the cat had been released a few years ago and I always hoped that we could implement it somehow. Well, that time has come now. So for Update 20 you'll be able to unlock it along with two extra variants. One of them you can see here.
Maritime Menagerie Character - Tallet
We got a bit of a special Maritime Menagerie Character this time. Tallet was the lucky one, and it's the first of the supporter characters that will end up with a role during a NSFW section.So yeah, this sprite comes with some variations of the thirsty kind. There won't be actual artwork accompanying the scene, so it's just sprite and imagination based.Anyway though, thank you very much to Tallet and everyone else for the support! :D
Wolf Ruins - Landsman pack
Hey everyone,Eurofurence is done and gosh, being GoH is quite busy. Not just at the convention but also beforehand when you're prepping everything for it. So yeah, I mean sad that it's done, but also glad that it's done. A bit of a normal routine again where I actually have my sundays as time off and not "make a presentation" time.In this pack we've got the files for the Wolf Ruins artwork, both in highres (which is also fitted for typical 16:9 screens) and then in a vertical phone resolution as well.And of course we got...

A bit of a normal routine again where I actually have my sundays as time off and not "make a presentation" time.This also means that there hasn't really been a whole lot of art since the last pack. Was either busy with actually implementing things into the game in August, and then busy with EF. But we d...

Conway's Stance on Fan Art
Hey hey,I've recently have been asked a little more regularly if doing this or that is fine with the Conway characters, and so I figured making a simple post about it would provide an easy answer there.HOWEVER, keep in mind that the minor characters are often characters of supporters. So they are obviously not included in these rules.These rules apply only to the following characters:ArthurJames/MCJulianNomaxRajeeyahSamuelWolfBandileKonradPerceTorresRené Can I make fan art (visual, writing, etc.) with the characters?Yes, you are free to cr...
Update 20 Preview - Blink and you'll miss it
Got a new addition coming to Update 20! Animations had been fallen off a bit when i realized with the tails just how taxing they are in Renpy.Got a new addition coming to Update 20!Animations had been fallen off a bit when i realized with the tails just how taxing they are in Renpy. That engine does not like having to load animations unfortunately...With that, they were pushed to a lower priority. Where we now have to be a bit more considerate with what we animate to avoid things slowing down or becoming difficult to handle for mobile devices.O...
A new addition to the Navigator tier
Hey everyone,One thing has been bugging me for a while was the relative lack of perks for the Navigator tier. We have some, of course, but they're more dependent on the circumstances of our development. If we happen to have a scene that is free to be influenced, or if one of the suggested scenes fit into the current plans.So I've been thinking a bit about what to do to provide something more there, and I think I've found something interesting.Going forward we'll be doing a monthly Q&A session, to answer your burning questions ab...
Conway Update 20 is now available!
Hey everyone, past Nomax here because when this post goes up I'm already on my way to Eurofurence!So fingers crossed this update doesn't come with a massive game-breaking issue that I overlooked. Otherwise I'll get to it after I'm back.!!!Speaking of game-breaking though... unfortunately there is one issue that'll require some saves to be restarted!!!We noticed that the pathing for the leave route wasn't set properly. So instead of being sent to the thank you screen to signify the end of the current progress, players wer...
We've reached the current stretch-goal!
Hey everyone,thank you all so much. Thanks to you we've recently hit the combined 2200$/m stretch goal we had set up!That means for next month I'll set aside this extra budget for some smaller additions to the game. I've already sent out some feelers and am waiting for responses for the first idea, and an idea that might actually turn into our first foray into Conway merch as well?The merch aspect is secondary, but what I'm looking to get made just might overlap with something that might look neat on some merch. Who knows!Of co...
Update 20 Preview - Heading to the beach again
Every now and then I just hit a really nice atmosphere with the backgrounds, this is one of those times! Wonder what adventure's those two will get up to there.
Early Bird - Wolf Cat Feeding
One of these I painted a while back and it was always in the back of my mind to potentially include it eventually. And well, here we are. Along with some extra versions.Enjoy! :D
