Lockheart is the creator of Avalon and Penny for Your Thoughts. We put out regular updates to our adult visual novels. Your support means faster, bigger, and better quality updates. Thank you so much!
I have started working on the Bonus Episode and it's coming along very nicely. I have little to say about it at this point because I'm trying to keep the details a secret. I can say that I'd like to have it released sometime early in January if I can.
I know you guys are sad to hear Avalon is ending. I have heard it from many different people. And I hear it at least twice a day. I know you guys are disappointed. And trust me, the one thing I hate doing is disappointing people. Every time someone tells me they think I should keep going with Avalon, I get discouraged. I really need your support on Penny's project. I made a ton of mistakes in Avalon. I've been ready for a new project for months which you can see in Avalon because I keep favoring Penny.
I love Avalon. It was so much fun to make, I learned a lot and I received a ton of feedback from it. I have a better idea of what the audience wants, I'm more comfortable with sex scenes, my renders are better, my coding is better. I want to start a new project with all this new knowledge and skill. Avalon was always meant to be a practice novel. I don't have any more story to offer with it. I have to move on.
On another note, I did make a terrible mistake. I went onto F95 and looked at the recent comments and reviews. I cannot believe how vile and terrible people have become on that site. Some people said that they hate Penny, others mentioned how atrocious my writing is, there's an outcry about how little sexual content Avalon has and one guy thinks I'm a man-hater.
I'm one of the luckiest developers; I have the best fans. They've been so encouraging and constructive and helpful, I couldn't ask for a better fanbase. You guys are my heroes and your support means so much to me. Sincerely, thank you. And for those defending Avalon on the Forums of F95, you're the warriors! Thank you so much for being so kind!
As for the F95 crowd, don't shit in your sandbox. New developers are probably working their asses off on passion projects that take months, or years, to make. And it takes time to develop the skills to do this well. It's not just one skill they're learning either. You have to learn how to write, how to code, how to render or draw, how to do post-work, and a host of other extremely difficult to master skills. This is where you guys come to enjoy yourselves, it is in your best interest for these developers to get experience, grow, and do better. Be encouraging, be supportive. I promise you'll see less abandoned work this way.
One last thing; I did have a little hiccup with the latest release. Dallas's poly content isn't showing for a lot of people. I've already fixed the issue. I'm going to make a few more minor adjustments to Avalon and release a fixed version. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
I don't have any previews or spoilers but here's an old banner I wanted to use but ended up not.
Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
The Final release of Act 7 is here! I appreciate everyone being patient with me while I put together this last piece of Act 7. Let's go through the additions.
There are a total of four new scenes, one for each path. And each one contains a sex scene sequence.
On the main menu is a new 'Mono' button that will allow you to watch all the mono scenes. In order to watch the Poly scenes, however, you will have to play through the Poly paths. I recommend using the Act Selector if your saves are corrupt.
Without further ado, please enjoy the completed story of Avalon!
We're at the final stretch here. I'm just finishing up the last animation tonight and then I have a few more renders to do. Then I have to write the last scene and code everything into Ren'Py. I want to say that I'll have it out this coming week but with this being the week of Thanksgiving, we may have to wait until after the holiday. But I'm going to try really hard to get it out before Thanksgiving! I won't compromise quality to do that though.
"Shh! Let's surprise him!"
I feel pretty good about this release. It took much, much longer than I'd anticipated because each pose took extra attention due to the complex nature of the poses but it's all going to be worth it in the end. This is going to be a short progress report because we're going to have this release out soon.
Remember, tomorrow I'm doing a live stream on my Discord at 7:00 CDT (GMT-5). We're going to be doing a Jedi Leah! If you're trying to learn Daz yourself, this is a great opportunity for you to come hang out with me while I work because you can ask questions and I can do my darndest to answer them!
That's all for today. Thanks so much for all your support and I hope to see you all tomorrow.
I have finished both Mono-Path scenes and I'm about 50% through Octavia's Poly Path. Once I finish Octavia's Poly Path, I've got Dallas's Poly Path to do, and then we're all done with this release.
I know it probably feels like it's taking a while for only four scenes. I'm feeling that too. All four of these scenes are heavy contact scenes which means everything just takes a little longer. But I'm making progress and it's going to be worth the wait, I promise! Check this out;
On the main page, there is a new button labeled 'Mono'. It will take you to this screen where you can click one of the characters and it will play the corresponding Mono Scene so you can view them without actually having to go through the Mono Paths. And yes, each of them has a sexy scene at the end of them. ;-)
But they also all give you some extra insight on Penny, especially Military Octavia and Egyptian Dallas. Trust me, give them a playthrough. They're all awesome.
You'll actually have to play through the Poly-Paths to see the new Polyamous content though.
And here's a picture of Penny because she's freakin' adorable.
I wish I had better news for you guys but it really is looking like the beginning of December before the release is ready. I appreciate your patience. I know this seems like a long time to wait for four scenes but they're really great scenes. I'm also going to make sure that the Mono Scenes are easy to get to for you guys.
Thanks again for all your support!
Farewell for now!
P.S. Oh, and here's Dallas and Penny being sexy. ;-)
The progress report is a bit deceptive because I'm about to start the Poly Scenes but I have no idea how long they're going to take. I've already started Octavia's and I can tell it's going to be involved.
It's been a strange week. I spent virtually the entirety of it on Octavia's Mono-Path scene which has become rather lengthy. I wasn't sure what to do with it at first so I ended up deciding on transforming it into a flashback.
I don't like flashbacks, I tend to hate them in movies and books but I had an idea and I ran with it. It's rather lengthy so I'll probably put a link to it on the Main Menu so everyone can see it because it's an important part of Penny's past.
The flashback is going to be when Octavia and Penny first met. If you've followed Octavia's path, you'll know that she found Penny aboard a ship heading back to the United States. We'll get to see how that all played out. It's going to be over one hundred renders which makes it one of the longest scenes in the game. It's been a lot of fun to create and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed making it.
Monday I am doing a live stream of Xianne Finds a Kitty. Join me at 7:00 PM CST (GMT-6)!
I have suspended a lot of other work I was doing, such as developing characters for Penny's game and working on side projects, in order to push out the last releases as quickly as I can. Unfortunately, these are both going to be involved and tricky releases. I hope you'll all bear with me. I'm working as fast and as hard as I can.
I am still taking some time on Thursdays to work on new skills. Currently, I'm trying to improve in Photoshop.
If you guys have any questions or concerns or just wanna say hello to me, you're always welcome to chat with me here or on Discord. I'm aiming to have this release out early next month.
That's all for now. Thank you so much for your support and your patience!
Farewell for now.
P.S. Also this;
Because you guys are amazing and totally deserve it. Mwah!
It's been a productive week. I finished Dallas's Mono-Path content, I've started on Octavia's Mono-Path content and her Poly-Path content. I also went back to redo one of Octavia's worst scenes. I debated heavily on doing that because I didn't want to waste time that I could be putting towards content for future releases, but Octavia deserves better than some of those older scenes. She's an exceptional character that I didn't do justice in the beginning.
So let's talk about Octavia's Mono-Path content for a moment. We're going to learn why she broke up with Penny a year ago and this will also tie into why she left the military. I have not yet figured out how to transition this into a sex scene so I've put her Mono-Path on hold until I have time to write the first part.
Who could that be at the door??
For the Poly-Content sex scenes, I'm bringing back two themes that I loved the most from the game for the side girls. I'm excited to do them. The bad news is that the Mono-Path isn't going to have animations but the good news is that the Poly-Path definitely will.
Last Thursday, I picked up Photoshop and began to learn how to use it so I can replace my current Photo Editor; GIMP. This is going to a learning journey and the renders might look a little different moving forward. I'll also be improving my post-work over time.
This was one of the images from scene three that I've redone.
With a better light setup and post-editing, we went from Casper to a rather gorgeous young woman. I also went through and slightly altered the dialogue. It's a vast improvement and I'll feel better about Avalon as a whole now that I've touched up this scene. It was bothering me quite a lot. She's an incredible woman, she deserved better.
We're three or four more weeks away from a release. I'm confident you all are going to love this release, it wraps everything up nicely for Octavia and Dallas. And then I'll be working on the Bonus Scene which is going to be really special.
Thanks for all the support. My fans are also my heroes. I appreciate you all so much!
I know the Progress Tome isn't very popular but I really like it. If you can't figure it out or if you're unsure how it works or if you're just angry at it and refuse to look at it, you can come talk to me in my Discord. I'm always more than happy to talk to you guys about my progress. I'll never say something like "It's ready when it's ready!". I love talking about Avalon, you're always welcome to come chat with me about it. I'll also always tell you my estimate on when we can expect the next release in this Progress Report every Sunday / Monday. The progress tome is my best guess at how far along I am until the next release. It's nothing more, nothing less.
I had two major errors in the initial release of the second half of Act 7. I apologize for that, I should have done more thorough testing. If you went down the Mono-Path in Act 7, there was a Jump mid-way through that would skip the entire second half. I also forgot to implement the Gallery Reply for the final lewd scene. The initial release of Act 7's second half plus the release of the Bug Fix version took around 10 hours total. If that sounds insane, it was freakin' insane! It takes 4 hours to upload to Mega and Google, I have to go through a third party to get the Android version and then upload THAT, then I have to go to like, 8 websites and update all the links. It's absolutely bananas, man! I need to hire an assistant...
I've started working on Dallas's Mono scene with Penny. I'm not very far into it because I've had some struggles with what exactly I wanted to do for it. But I've decided I'm going to do something very special for you guys; the Mono scenes are going to reveal more about Penny's past. For Dallas, Penny is going to teach her how to play a game that she grew up with called Senet.
I will reveal more about the game and why Penny plays it in the scene.
Monday at 7:00 CDT (GMT-5) I'm going to do Pale Rider Penny's render in Discord via Shared Screen where you can come watch me work my magic and voice chat with me. If this goes well, it will become a Tier perk later on. For now, it's available to everyone so if you have a chance, stop by.
I'm expanding and I'm growing and I'm learning. I'm trying to become more and provide more for you guys. I have MEGA and Google download options now, I've opened up a SubscribeStar for those that don't use Patreon, I'm trying new things like the Shared Screen on Discord, I've opened up a Ballistic Breach tier for those that want to contribute even more and I've revamped some aesthetics around my Discord and Patreon. I want to earn your support so please let me know what you think about the changes and what I can do to better provide what you all want to out of your experience with my work.
Avalon and the novels I write after are my contributions to the world. I want them to be a positive addition. I want to inspire people and entertain people and make people happy. It's not just about me, its about you guys. So while I enjoy telling the story I want to tell, I also want to take into consideration what's going to make you happy. Let me know in the comments what you like and what you don't like. It helps me put something great out into the world. Thank you!
This was a long one, thank you for sticking it out. I'm excited about the future and I'm thrilled to work more on Avalon. I'm shooting for an early December release.
