Kobold Adventure Survey II: Results
The second Kobold Adventure survey has revealed a few interesting things. In this post the results of the survey will be discussed. While not everything will be handled, the most glaring disrepancies will be addressed, and the most compulsive questions will be answered. Let's begin!Feldspar's images were overall well-received. Some of you noticed that a few of the pictures didn't quite...
Hide is live
Update 2.15 (Bee), better known as the Hide update, is now live. It entails the kobold hiding from its pursuers in the forest. It can be accessed by choosing to venture into the woods, and then selecting the hide option.Sadly, the update is slightly incomplete. The running part is missing, which will be added during the next update, which will also contain the morning of Varanar, Day 3. This means...
The next update and the one after that
As voted for by Human-tiers and up, the next update will be about the [Hide] route in the forest. The planned release date is Wednesday, the last day of February. I'm not certain yet whether or not I'll be able to fit the entire update in that timeframe, but as always, I'll be trying my hardest!In case I'm not able to include the full contents of the [Hide] route in next week's...
What next?
You know the drill. Select whichever you prefer.
Night Two, part two is live
Update 2.14 (Gross), better known as the Varanar - Night Two, part two update, is now live. It contains the second half of the kobold's first night in Varanar, with a direct confrontation with the group of human drunkards. This can go two ways depending on how well dressed your kobold is at the time.Since the last update, a myriad of new images courtesy of Feldspar have been added to the tenta...
Update soon
The next update, detailing the confrontational part of Varanar - Night Two is scheduled for release on Wednesday. Depending on how well my writing progresses, however, it may end up getting delayed until Thursday, or perhaps even Friday, but I'll try my best to meet the deadline.Worst case scenario, I'll have to temporarily drop a segment or two in order to produce timely content. No worri...
Kobold Adventure Survey II
It's that time again. New images and new features have been added. I need feedback on both, so the game as a whole can improve. If you could take five minutes to fill in the survey below, I would greatly appreciate it!https://goo.gl/forms/egSpjdrGHaTxZEvw1 Like last time, you also get a chance to leave Sneaky and I some comments. You can even drop a message for Feldspar, who made the deepwoods...

Varanar
Home to thousands, if not tens of thousands, it is the single largest city outside of the neighbouring Dragon Empire. The capital of humans, one of the most prominent trading hubs in the entire world, and a melting pot for all walks of life, from rich and snobby noblemen, to humble, rundown thieves like yourself.The city will be the meat and butter of Kobold Adventure. It will make or break your a...
Update soon
The next update, which will contain about half of the Kobold's first night in Varanar, is scheduled for release on Wednesday or Thursday. I hope I'll be able to make Wednesday, but I can't give any guarantees as of now.This scene will differ from all previous ones, in the way that statuses will henceforth start making an actual difference. Furthermore, it will contain the story's f...
Server upgrade and status update
The Kobold Adventure server has been upgraded hardware-wise. It has gained five gigabytes of SSD storage space, and half a gigabyte of memory. While you probably won't experience any improvements in performance (server hardware was never really an issue), I thought I'd share this news with you guys anyway.The scene I'm currently working on (Varanar Night Two, as decided via poll) has b...
Insults without context
Pick whichever you like best. Note that none of the options are particularly hygienic or fun. The kobold will not have a good time. Choose wisely.
Codeweek is live
Update 2.125 (Codeweek) is now live. It contains a couple of new features, a bunch of bugfixes, and some new settings. Feedback from the survey was taken into account.New feature: hotloading. Hotloading is a way to immediately load all of the game's required files (including all scenes) during the initial page load. What this means is that the game's initial loading phase will take longer ...
What next?
With the code week update coming on Wednesday, I need to know what I should get started on after that. There's two options, corresponding to the two main paths so far. Each is explained in more detail below.Varanar - Night Two would be the kobold's first evening in the big city. While exploring the mostly empty streets, Moe'll be getting confronted by a particularly brawny group of dru...

Update 2.11 (Pitchfork) is now live. It contains the stealing-oriented route of the Farmer's House, along with some improvements made to the overall structure of the code (boring stuff).You can reach the Farmer's House by choosing to go there at the center of the Hamlet (after Seki's Workshop). Right now, only the stealing route is available. It's a rather short segment, but there&...
Murry Kurisumasu
Happy Santa day, everyone! The new scene has been fully scaffolded, and I will be spending the next five days trying to cram as much content as I can into it. Sadly, it has grown a bit bigger than I had originally anticipated, so I may not finish it completely.Regardless of the amount of finished content (which I hope will be plenty), I will be pushing an update late Friday to early Saturday. What...
Kobold Adventure image survey
Hello, everyone! If you feel like answering a couple of questions to let me know what you think about the images in the forest bandit route so far, feel free to click the link below. If not, that's fine too! I'm just trying to get a consensus on them in general. I personally adore them, but I want to know whether or not your opinion matches my own!https://goo.gl/forms/QKUmnLv3P1YcFvPB2If y...
I have been sick
These past few days, I have been pretty darn sick. Coughing, a headache, shortness of breath, the whole lot. Sadly, this has somewhat slowed work on the next update of Kobold Adventure to a crawl. It has, however, given me time to think.In short: the entirety of the grand storyline of the main route of Kobold Adventure is now planned out. While I can not share much because I do not want to spoil m...

A detailed scene-tree can be found below.Ontop of the extra scenes, a bunch of high-quality images drawn by Kobold Adventure's main artist Sneaky have been added to ...
The future
Let's decide what I'll be making after the impending update. A few interesting choices this time around! Let's explain each one in turn.Breeding farm - breaking in route entails not visiting the barn itself, but instead breaking into the mansion adjacent to it. While not very significant in amount of words or writing complexity, this segment will most likely contain Kobold Adventure...
The next update
The next update will be released before Wednesday. This will include additional routes in the barn, as well as the promised art update for the bandit encounter. At this point, credits will also be updated to reflect any changes since the last time I altered them. Stay tuned!
Found friend (and artist)
Sneaky has been found. He ran away hoping to escape my tyrannical rule and daily abuse. Luckily, a concerned pedestrian scooped his battered body from the ditch he was crying in, and brought him to the nearest police station for me to collect.After bringing him home, Sneaky was returned to his cage. He is currently awaiting a thorough whipping and some less savory punishments. After that, he will ...
Missing friend (and also artist)
Has anyone seen this man? His name is Sneaky, although he's also known as QuiteTricky. He's the main artist of Kobold Adventure, but more importantly, he's one of my best friends in the whole wide world.Sneaky went missing a few days ago. If you spot him, please report the sighting to the nearest Kobold Adventure affiliate. And slap him for making me worry so much before you turn him i...
