Leaving Patreon for better horizons!
I've permanently disabled payments, and deleted all patreon tiers.My discord bot that gives exclusive access to channels broke for the last time. AGH. Maybe this is a lot of my own fault for designing a verification system out of a house of cards. Though over the years I've gained some opinions of Patreon.Patre...
Paused billing for this month.
There's a number of users who upgraded to dragon/kobold membership in order to get their hands on a key, but unfortunately I've already handed them out!Patreon makes it very hard for me to be transparent as it requires me to hide adult content behind membership, I've made a mistake by making it seem like yo...
Churn Vector Beta access for Kobold and Dragon tier!
I just finished sending out keys to the emails associated with Kobold and Dragon tier patrons.I might have made a mistake, by sending duplicate keys, using an out-of-date list of members, or messing up the mass-emailer.DO NOT try upgrading your tier after seeing this post to get a key, as they've already been sent ...
CV City sneak peek
Been a while since I've been able to sit down and update all my social media. Thank you all for being so patient with me! Here's a sneak peek at the game Archival, Eugene, and I have been working on.It's a game like Hitman, but instead of eliminating targets, you CV them.Will have more to show soon.
GameJam: RockHardCafe (Patreon Release)
I've been seeing my friends make really cool gift art to each other, and it inspired me to make a quick game jam involving my friends!RockHardCafe is an experimental sex game with advance penetration physics, where you control a cast of unique characters to fuck the cute red dragon boy, Benneq!Benneq belongs to my ...

Itch.io owners now get a Steam Key for free!
I've found out that its within the partner agreement for me to be able to give keys to anyone who's made an equivalent purchase, even if it's not on Steam.Itch.io also officially supports this, if you own the game on itch and also want it on Steam, head to your purchase page and click the request key button...
Did a refactor of the penetration interactions.
I know this doesn't push the game forward, but as an open-source tool I'm hoping that it also helps other developers!First of all is the knot force refactor. It now uses a Euler integrated physics solution which makes it very smooth, stretchy, and a little bouncy.I had an issue where procedurally generated defo...
Update 300_E0F82A1
Been a long while since an update has hit the public branch.KoboldKare has been a project that has been in constant turmoil as I learn more and more about game development.I realized at some point that I was using my technical ability as a crutch to avoid doing art.Instead of just spending an hour or two making some fu...
Penetration Tech
I'm finally kicking things into gear again, I've got some big changes in the works that make me more comfortable and excited to work on the project again. Meanwhile me and Raliv have worked on a new iteration of the penetration tech found in KoboldKare, and I'm going to dump a big writeup I did on it! If yo...
Mawful alpha access!
I'm finally fully recovered from Covid (gosh that was months of coughing), and I've got lots of stuff to talk about the current state of things.I realized that I absolutely do not have the resources to keep Firgof fully employed, and we don't have a producer to keep us on track. Unfortunately this means let...
Christmas break is over!
Sorry for the delays, and lack of communication, I took a two week break to visit family and friends.--and caught covid... Ugh! I'm currently quarantined and recovering, and I'm doing OK. Luckily the vaccine made it not as severe as it could have been. I could talk endlessly about my opinions on all this, but I...
Side Project: Chastity Catastrophe!

VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/2KWjC018JG.mp4Clicky! ^I've noticed that I'm just spinning wheels with KoboldKare, and felt like I needed to refocus myself.For the past month I've been working on a game jam with a friend: A game called Chastity Catastrophe!The goal for the game is to make a re...
First foray into open source!
This took a long longer than I expected, though this is the first build that has zero paid assets in it!Despite the majority of the work being spent ripping out paid assets, there's still quite a few changes that I'd love to share: Steam Audio: Instead of messing with my home-grown reverb system, KoboldKare now...
No build this month.
We're still hard at work on this patch, it's a pretty major one. I would post some patch notes, but I think it's a bit misleading. Hopefully we'll have it done this month. Meanwhile I do have a few things to show anyway!After a short stint doing a tool-jam with a friend, I realized how useful it is to h...
Penetrator Rework 3: All the way through
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/G2Gjo4Pvg0.mp4Clicky! ^The final part of the puzzle, I wanted to make sure that sufficiently large penetrators could work their way all the way through.It's still not completely done, as it's difficult to predict exactly where the tip of the penis is for cum spawnin...
Penetrator Rework 2: Multiple Penetrations
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/uYMWkgkoGg.mp4Clicky! ^The next thing I focused on the penetration tech is that I wanted it to support multiple penetrators.I wrote a cute circle packing algorithm that's deterministic so I can do it every frame with any number of varying girthed penetrators. It's n...
Penetrator Rework 1: Audio
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/koboldaudiopop.mp4Clicky! ^Major penetrator rework, it's difficult to cover everything that's changed in a single post so I'll probably just split it up into a bunch of tiny posts.This post focuses on the fact that penetrators now have unique triggers that can b...
Brush Based Terrain Tools

Goop Raytracing
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/C3BT0dTkoF.mp4Clicky! ^Raytracing is awesome because they're GOOPY!I'm using a technique described by Sebastian, it's not optimized enough for an infinite amount of goop-- though it does allow the space to be infinite.In the future I want to tackle using a 3D-te...
KoboldKare Update 20.5.2021
Finally an update is here! This update focused on equipment systems, delivering content more deliberately, and code cleanup/refactoring in preparation for open-source.Here's the change log: Terrain and grass was vastly optimized, terrain details no longer render in reflection probes or Mirrors. This was an improvem...
Outlet Mishap
Sorry for no updates this month! One of the outlets in my basement decided to melt, and it knocked out one of my routers. Luckily the house didn't catch fire (though the wall paint is a good shade of brown now).No data was lost, and there was very little damage. Though my continuous integration was completely knock...
Jump pads!
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/XRpTn6ts6P.mp4Clicky! ^Since the map is so scarce on content right now, I've added jump pads leading to and from most major areas of the map. I've also increase the spawn rates of all fruit, and put the majority of them within reach.Hopefully that'll tide everyo...
More animations stuff
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/lIYzgCBuZG.mp4Clicky! ^Because animations are physics based now, it helps to have them do a little ritual before they start, so that their limbs are roughly in the right position without getting caught on stuff.
Staged flaccidity
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/mLz8t9Yi6W.mp4Clicky! ^@uniform_vixen showed me an example of how dicks can have stages of flaccidity. They were even nice enough to share their flared equine to be used directly in the game!The other dicks have recieved similar touchups, so each of them have a packed, flop...

KoboldKare Update 02.28.2021
Here's the patch notes for all the changes in February: Kobolds can face directions during an animation, it's really bad for NPCs but players can nod and look places while playing animations. Fixed a large number of memory leaks. (Derivatives no longer uses Linq, strands allocate all memory needed up front, reu...
Animation Update
Clicky! VLink to video: http://koboldkare.com/kobolds.mp4Clicky! ^Kobold animations! A collection of animations I've made for the game, they still need a bit of polish, but so far it's a ton of fun to create them. It's also pretty fast!
