End of May 2025 Update
🕑 Added 2025-06-01 02:08:06 +0000 UTCTier Changes
Some big things coming! First, let's get the least fun stuff out of the way. The current tier for inch individual has been increased to 6$. Users that have been subbed to this tier will not receive a price increase, but if you cancel, you will have to resubscribe at the newer price. I judge absolutely no one who doesn't voluntarily sign up for the higher price. A lot of y'all have already been supporting me for years already, so do whatever makes sense to you and your current situation.
There will also be a new subscription tier!
The Super Inchmen tier (9$) is really just another way for people to show more support if they have the means and would like to do so. It also grants you access to special polls twice a month.
Changes to One-Off Galleries
Going forward, Gallery polls will be changing a little dramatically. New characters will be included in the possible lineup. The Sirens and a new mansion staff member yet to be revealed will be included in the possible options for each bi-weekly poll.
Every 1st and 3rd Monday at around 7PM EST, there will be a livestream event in the VIP channel on the discord where I use an app to randomly select 6 candidates. After these 6 candidates have been selected, another random drawing will be conducted for what types of scenarios the winning candidate will be cast into.
The Inchmen tier will get to vote on 1 of the 6 drawn candidates, while the Super Inchmen will get to vote on 1 of the 3 drawn scenarios.
The poll will go up on the patreon immediately after the livestream event. I do ask some patience as I figure out the mechanics of all this. I have an app in mind and plan to use June 2nd as a test run.
If there are no Super Inchmen for the month, then I will just use the livestream event to randomly pick a scenario. I will also announce the exact time of the livestream 24 hours in advance in the vip channel.
All patrons will have until Thursday 5 PM EST of that week to cast their vote.
If there are any suggestions, changes, concerns, or rage about this change in gallery polls. Please let me know. I want to have fun with this but I don't want it to be a hinderance on the goals of the main project.
Character Shakeups
Moving on! There is some sad news to report. I will be cutting Khalia from the roster of patrons. There are a few reasons for this. First, her character really isn't that fleshed out and I haven't really been able to figure out what I'm going to do with her. Secondly, I've been feeling like there are too many patrons for a while now. Reducing the workload, from a logistics stand-point, allows me to put more time in to other characters. That being said, there are obviously a bunch of new characters, tinies and giant staff alike which may seem confusing to people as to why I would cut a patron while adding other characters.
The big difference here is less focus is put on the dating-sim side of non-patron characters. The patrons have a specific role in the game which requires more time spent writing their stories and interactions. A lot of these other staff and mini-giantess additions are narrative driven and much more linear, and thus don't take up as much of my time as they not only have less content but are more predictable and less varied in their behavior.
And, thirdly, well, Khalia was the least popular character based on all the polls over the last few months. She was beaten out by even some of the newer characters and ones who literally don't even have content, yet. I have been considering cutting her for a while and this latest poll just sort of confirmed it for me.
The Next Dev-Build and Public Alpha 2.0
So, as we bid farewell to one of the patrons, there are new things to look forward to. The next dev-build is very close to completion. I will be releasing a version of it by sometime early next week. This new version adds extensive additions to the plot as well as changes to battle mechanics, battle animations, items, crafting, quests, and more. This next build will let the player access the red garden and open the door for new content going forward.
In letting go of one character we will be embracing a slew of new characters, both smol and beeg alike and I'm excited to introduce them.
So, I know I had suggested an end of May public release in my previous post. That, now, should be obvious, is not going to happen. Going forward, a mid-June public alpha is the goal as I release the dev-build to patrons and allow myself a couple weeks to work through bugs and tidy up whatever loose ends I missed along the way.
That's it for the End of May update. It's a big one and I'm excited for what's to come. Thanks for reading, if you made it this far! Make sure to check out the latest gallery poll for Bianca and stay tuned for future updates.

She does make a small appearance in the quest version, but sadly never had the chance for her character to be more fleshed out.

A shame that Khalia never made it into the game. I was always curious about her.
