About: Currently I am a one person operation making adult content for your entertainment. However, this leaves a skill gap. One which must be filled by contracting out work. To achieve this we're on Patreon. Your patronage will allow me to put out the best possible product, and will only get better over time.
Developed in Rpg Maker MV
Fantasy Setting
Uses images created through Daz3d software
Council of Lies is an adult adventure game set in a fantasy realm. It is being developed in Rpg Maker MV. The game is intended to feature (possibly) four story routes. You will take control of Marie as she goes on her adventure to uncover the truth behind her fathers death. Will you succeed where her father failed? Will she be the same adventurous girl if she does?
Features:
Three definitive story routes each with it's own niche.
Lesbian
Domination
Corruption
Netorare by player choice
Side character stories coinciding with the main story each having the ability for the main character to interact in.
A clothing system allowing for different outfits to appear in the event of your choosing (based on certain conditions)
Stretch goals are not currently in place within the Patreon campaign because initial goals of the campaign are not met. Stretch goal development would add considerable time at the moment, which would make primary development untimely.
Current planned release schedule: Two month periods Alpha demo download:

Weekly Roundup 3-6-21 It's early AM here and I'm writing this after failing at prepping for the final scene for the next update. Unfortunately sometimes trying new things ultimately results in wasted time or great success. As of now, wasted time due to an application crash. However, despite this I intend to have a release candidate for CoL 0.1.1 by the end of this upcoming week. As such the next version may very well have partially animated scenes. Which was a large goal for this update due to the amount of time it takes to render an animation.
◙ Created new outfits for Marie in preparation for later updates. (see showcase) ◙ Added priestess NPC busts as well as Princess bust • You'll have to see if this amounts to anything later. • At first glance you wouldn't think this would have taken long, but getting a good fit to Marie took combined hours. ◙ Created and rendered Alexandra scenes, and Ben scenes. ◙ Plugins were implemented for the possibility of animated scenes. • Has yet to be tested. ◙ Worked on creating a prop for the last scene in this update. • Application crash rendered all of the work useless, as I neglected to save earlier. • The prop may require some other method to create, so not all is wasted. ◙ Did a revisit on Jennevive animation. • It has to be rendered to see if it worked out in the end.
All in all, I feel like I sort of dropped the ball on this update as I made a personal goal of getting it done within one month of the last one. (That was a week and a half ago roughly). But due to experimenting with some things in daz studio in order to produce better overall renders some time was wasted. As well some writers block regarding the last few scenes caused a few days of progress to lapse. I could have easily just written, Marie uses her hand on X and feels funny about herself. But it's an important time in the story and Marie is not a character that is that easy to coerce.
This was a long time coming, which I will address. But first the bullet points: ‣Addressing the long time in updates ‣Plans for the game ‣The next update ‣What has changed ‣The game
Long time no see
To first address the long time between updates, it's quite simple really. I didn't work on it that whole time. However, the combined time I was able to and / or did work on the game for this update is somewhere north of a month and half. It was likely more than that, but considering how much time has passed it is hard to have a concrete answer.
"Does this mean you aren't committed to Fleeting Hearts or Council of Lies?" -On the contrary nearly every day between the previous update and this one, I thought about council of lies in some way.
When Council of Lies started to get noticed, I wasn't quite prepared. The version that was released before this current one I felt proud about at the time. However speaking over it with some people I know, I decided to instead push the game once it had more substance. Thus we find ourselves here.
Plans for the game
There are a number of things planned for council of lies, but what is achievable is another thing. In the short term content regarding the dinner sequence in game will be added. Further progress with the council members will definitely come. And further interactions for Marie when she is alone is certainly a possibility. Long term goals are listed on the roadmap available in the public master post. Some of these goals require their own plugins to be written for them. Others are simply a matter of time and patience to cobble them together. I'd also like to be able to upgrade the entire sprite set to be 48x96 sprites. I have already found a template I would like to see used for this, but it requires someone with far more skill than I have. Which means contracting out the work.
The next update
The next update should take roughly three to four weeks to push out. Based on prior experience it's about a week and a half to two of preparing renders. And a week (maybe more) of using rpg maker. The caveat to this prior experience is that it was from a time where my main work computer was unreliable at best. That looks to be resolved now, so it may be faster.
Changes in this update
I'm not going to talk up the work done, because frankly few people understand just how much goes into it. So here's the short of it (this is also available on it's own individual post).
◘ Version 0.1c (Alpha) • Resolved some major issues regarding the memory room and playback • Resolved issue regarding Edwin and Alex event. (there are two triggers, and one wasn't turning off). • Added Marie's dress outfit sprites • Fixed dialogue at dinner time. • Resolved Jennevive being in her room when Ben was with her. • Other minor issues. -Thank you to moonkblack on the discord for reporting a good 90% of the above. • Excluded newer content. ◘ Version 0.1b (Alpha) • Resolved minor issues with picture placement • Ensured that player wouldn't see stuck scenes due to wearing chainmail after temple scenes. ◘ Version 0.1a (Alpha) • Fixed minor issues with pictures not being deleted • Fixed minor issues with move route causing player to be locked in place ◘ Version 0.1 (Alpha) • Initial public showing • 10 scenes added (Some with clothing variations) • 23 maps added • 6 story characters introduced • Bust images, lots of bust images • 6 character sprites added (two more on the way) • Framework for image optimization laid out (All images should erase, but if you find one early on that doesn't, this is why.) • Autosave added • Intro redone (If you have an old save you may need to start a new game) • New main character busts corresponding with outfits • Skip indicator on warning page (this was always possible, it's just now clear) • Event balloon icons have been updated to distinguish follower events -Known issues- -Night time may lag the game in some parts of the castle, this is due to the lighting. It will be addressed with a likely complex fix. -Marie and Alex are missing sprites for the dress and casual clothes respectively. This work has been contracted and is nearing completion.
If you happen to find an issue, you may contact me in a few ways, but the fastest is via discord. See the master post or FH subscribestar landing page.
The following consists of change logs for Council of Lies.
Version 0.1.1 Changelog: ◙ Eight new scenes. • One scene is urination content, and may be turned off from the menu. • At least one scene is fairly long, so buckle up. ◙ Added a few NPC busts • Despite getting a bust, the princess has nothing to do. Yet. ◙ Revamped the way Marie's busts are drawn • This was to save on file size in both the current and future version. Roughly a 300mb decrease. And png compression has yet to be explored. ◙ Ninja'd in some stat gains on scenes • I don't recommend replaying for these as of yet. They don't do anything right now. ◙ Probably some things I've forgotten.

The image consists of the working road map for council of lies game development. You may notice a fair amount of blank space. That's because what is prioritized from version to version may change over time. Long term goals however are listed on the right side of the map and are fairly concrete.
The story of council of lies is laid out, and by version 0.5 or 0.6 the story climax will likely be started within the game. This is due to the events that will occur during the climax potentially taking some time to lay out.
I laid out this content map to give stars (and potential patrons) an idea of the content layout of the game. It does not serve as a guide to reaching such content nor will it ever. Guides may be made at a later date (no promises).
Also please note that the "content crossover" might be a bit misleading as it stands on the map. And may not mean that characters from one route show up in another. More on this later.
