Hey everyone!

Wanted to use this time to talk about the holiday update as well as some of my main plans next year for House Chores!

== Release Date/Window ==

I want this update to release just in time for the holiday weekend.  Ideally, having this update out for $5+ Patrons on Dec 17th would be great.  If the artist needs a tad bit more time then I'll push it back by a few days if necessary.  But Dec 17th-23rd is about when you can expect the $5+ Patron build and the public build to release!

The artwork is still underway so I'll have a solid release date announced soon either on here or on twitter!

== Holiday Content ==

Something I want to make sure is very clear with this update is that it will be very short!  This is just meant to be a small little event for the holidays as well as a way to give Linda a fun extra 'moment' to share with the main character.

The holiday event itself won't contain a large questline so the added playtime of this update's gonna be short.  But so far it's turning out to be a nice little charming event which is something I want House Chores to have plenty of when it's all complete!

== 2022 Plans ==

Right after this update, the beginning of Emily's story will be up next!  I think her story will have a pretty unique 'gimmick' to it.  Sort of like how Linda is chores and Julie is exercise.  Emily's will probably be the most 'imaginative' one ;P

2022 will be a very fun year for House Chores.  2021 was the year HC finally got back into the swing of things with consistent releases and content in the later half.  Moving forward, the core game could actually be finished in as little as 3/4 updates!

But after that, I want to look at expanding the neighborhood slightly with a few new characters & interactions.  I recently asked in Discord what players would like to see when the 3 housemates have their main scenes complete.  Whether that be an expansion, sequel, or new game in the same neighborhood.  I'm still undecided but what I do know is I'd like to delve deeper into these characters and the potentially vibrant neighbors around them.  We'll see when we get there! 

=====

That's all for now.  The next update will either be a $3+ teaser of the new scene or just the update itself so stay tuned!

Thank you all so much for your support and have a happy holidays!!

Hey everyone!

Happy to finally be able to share some visual teasers of the next update coming to House Chores.

As you can see, Beta 0.7 is already well underway and a lot of the required art is already completed!  This update will be a simple one introducing a small little side story for Linda to add some festive activities within the house.  This is the first of hopefully a couple different seasonal events I want to add between now and the final update to HC by the end of next year or so.

The release date of Beta 0.7 isn't certain yet but I want to have it out just in time for the holidays next month!  So far, everything's on pace for that.  

====

That's everything for this Patreon update.  Next update will likely be a $3+ Patron teaser of the new scene and then the update should be ready shortly after that.  Thank you all for your support and I'll see you all soon!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to make this post just to inform people that I intend to post the "Beta 0.7 First Look" post as soon as an updated background is complete which should be within the next couple of weeks!

This holiday season, Beta 0.7 will be releasing featuring a special holiday event with Linda!

Looking forward into 2022, Beta 0.8 will release and this update will start Emily's storyline.  I'm taking a short little detour because it's been so long as I've done a holiday event.  I think House Chores is at a point where I can start adding fun bonus activities alongside the main content too from time to time!

Super short update but I wanted to break the silence and explain what's going on! I'll see you all soon with the official first look of Beta 0.7!  Thanks so much for your support =D

Hey everyone!

The next major update to House Chores, Beta 0.6.9 is live now for public release on Windows and Android devices!

Download Link

=====

This update aims to get a lot of backlogged tasks completed for artwork so you'll see some new changes to Linda's bust design as well as Emily's Bedroom.

Additionally, to still provide some new NSFW content, Linda got a bit of a touch-up on her first scene.  It now scales properly alongside her story progress so I highly encourage starting a fresh save and selecting that scene as you progress to see some of those special moments.  She also has a new on-screen scene as well.

Stay tuned for details on the next update.  It will either focus on Linda with a Christmas event or the beginning of Emily's storyline.  Either way, there will be a big focus on NSFW content so if you weren't satisfied with the new stuff in 0.6.9, the next update should start ramping that stuff back up.

Thank you all so much for your support!  I hope you enjoy playing Beta 0.6.9 =D

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give a small update so you all can know when to expect the next update.

== Progress ==

The last bit of art for this new update was finished today so that scene has now been sent off to get animated.  In the meantime, I'm going to start focusing heavily on the update making sure all of the new stuff is properly implemented.

As I've mentioned before, this update's gonna be pretty simple on my end.  Most of what's new is art stuff so I don't want to set expectations super high that this update will be packed to the brim with new quests and events.  This is checking off some things that have been on the to-do list for quite some time.

Because of that, I decided to name this build Beta 0.6.9 since it's more of a build up for Beta 0.7 and... well, you know.  Nice

With that said, I do hope you enjoy the new on-screen scene when it's finished!

== Release Window ==

Originally I had thought mid-Oct would be doable but I'm gonna have to push it back a little closer to late October instead.  It'll be out very soon!  But I do want to make sure I give myself enough time because I may be adding a few other small little details.

=====

That's everything for this update!  Next post on here will be the actual release of Beta 0.6.9 for $5+ HC Patrons!  Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you all soon =D

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share one more main update before the next update releases.  There's been some new developments so I have a much more solid plan on what will be in this new build.  I also wanted to go over the new stuff coming in this update.

== What's New ==

This build probably won't add much to your total playtime.  But at the same time, so many important tasks have been accomplished.  

1: Linda's bust re-design 

2: New location: Emily's Bedroom (Day & Night)

3: New clickable object: Emily at her computer

4: New clickable object: Linda at night on her bed
-Her NSFW scene now can properly be re-experienced without the awkward dialogue option at her door

5: (Still needs to be complete): Linda animated on-screen NSFW scene during Morning

This confirms that the next update will focus on Emily and her story.  A lot of the tasks in this update are meant to help prepare for her update so more time can be spent on NSFW scenes instead!

== Release Date ==

The artist is going to be away during a part of late Oct so the plan is to finish this on-screen scene before then and I should be able to release the update shortly after!  

Right now, I'd expect a mid-October release window.  There shouldn't be any need to delay as this update will be fairly easy to put together and most of the new additions are already added!

=====

That's everything for this update!  

Hopefully this post doesn't come across as mean or passive aggressive.  Receiving those "that's it?" comments can be disheartening so I wanted to be extremely clear about what to expect.  I know most of you are all incredibly understanding so many thanks for that.

Thank you as well to the people who provided your feedback on the last post too!  

I'll see you all soon.  Probably with a sketch teaser of the on-screen scene, then the update shortly after! =D

Hey everyone!

Sorry for being quiet this month.  Everything is progressing well but there isn't really a ton of news or stuff to show just yet.  However, I do feel pretty certain that an October release window should be possible for this next update!

== Catching Up/Backlog ==

I've been talking about it a lot over these past couple of Patreon updates but a lot of time has been spent getting a lot of clickables added to help give more current & future interactivity and fortunately, I feel like I got a large part of that backlog finished up.

After this new clickable of Emily is finished, I think that will suffice for clickables in this new update!

There are still some things from older content that I want to revisit and improve upon in future updates.  The main thing is Julie's Yoga event.  I want to have some pictures of them stretching in clearly awkward/erotic positions to help provide more build up to the scene that was recently added.

== NSFW & Release ==

This is the part I'm still a bit uncertain on.  I'd like to have an October release date as that would be 3 months since the last update.  So the question is- what should the NSFW content focus on?

Right now, I'm torn between two main possibilities-

1. On-screen scene for Linda and/or Julie

-On-screen scene's are a bit faster to get done as they don't require a new background which would make an October release much easier to pull off.  Then for the next update, I'd focus more/all attention on Emily making sure she has more time to get some content finished.

2. One full scene for Emily

-I know people are ready to see Emily get some action (as am I).  But a full scene with a unique background will take more time for the artist to draw.  In addition, I have to put a little more time into starting her story & mechanics.  I worry this may be tougher to finish by the end of Oct and I'm really not wanting to have any more 4+ month updates.

=====

This post isn't mean to be a poll but you can see the two ideas I'm sort of tossing back and forth.  I'll commit to one of them once this Emily clickable is complete.  I'd love to hear your opinions!

Thank you all for being so patient too.  There's been so many new things for HC this month but at the same time, most of these things aren't super exciting to share.  Once the new NSFW content is starting up though, well, you'll see the teasers ;P

Thanks so much for your support and I will see you all soon with more info & updates!
