Thicker Than is a sequel to my previous choicescript game, Blood Moon.

I'm also working on a couple of other projects:

Drown with Me is an interactive novel about cannibalistic mermaids and pirates built in Ren'py. Check out the demo!
Mysterious Manuscript is a mystery manuscript full of mystery, magic, mayhem, and mystery.

I also have a website and a KoFi page which is the best place to support me, if you like what I do.

Thanks for stopping by.

Idk if this will work with what you're planning for the remaining chapters of Thicker Than, but would it be possible for mc's who aren't romancing anyone to maybe find Lucius and try to strike a deal with him after the prison break? Like, finding the real traitor (if there is one) or the culprit behind the vampire lord killings? Or bringing down Gaius if that's something Lucius is planning? I just think it'd be fun to get to know the cupbearer more, even if just a little bit.

I'm hesitant to lock romance players out of plot moments.

Lucius will return in Chapter 12... I think. You'll be able to talk to (or attack him) then.

The contrast between the unbelievably extra voice acting and the extremely stiff and emotionless animation is what really makes this a masterpiece.

jpriest85-blog asked:

After finishing Blood Moon and Thicker Than demo, I've come to the conclusion the Night King is thirsty AF for the Werewolf MC, pun intended. Heck when I first played through and had my MC, Hala, go to the Night Court I got some Salome vibes from Gaius wanting to see her wolf form before giving his blessing to have her pack use Blackwell as a chew toy. The creepy Valintine he sent, and Gaius obsessively watching the security footage of Lawerence Blackwall being mauled to death in the sequel demo. Lbr I wouldn't be surprise if the Night King put togeter a collage of my MCs photos from his spy network like a stalker with a crush. Ig we should be thankfull that Gaius isn't up to date with modern tech and socail media. He'd be so annoying trying to message or text the MC, or waking them up at 3am trying to vido chat.

Crush is the wrong word.

Gaius used to wage war against the allied werewolf packs of central Europe. Werewolves are nostalgic enemies for him... and he wants the wolf pack to get stronger so they'll be more fun to play with.

Hi Barb, the new public update will be released on this week, right? On the 23th?

(Sorry for any grammar mistakes, english is not my mother language :< )

Yep! I hope you like it. 💙

Hey barb. Hope you're week is starting off well.

I'm so sorry if you get a duplicate of this ask because the first time i sent it tumblr basically told me to fuck off.

But i keep seeing Nathan asks and just for clarification those asks are all from kofi or patreon readers right??

I didn't miss that his scene after the whole escape lockup was done in the public demo?

Because if i did like what the hell. 🤦‍♀️😭

Yes. I'm really sorry. I'm usually better at keeping spoilers under wraps until everything is in the public demo. I just got really excited to talk about this particular scene and forgot.

Nathan's intimate scene is still currently only for kofi members. It will be publicly available (along with Tracy's intimate scene) when the moon is full.

In the scene where Blackwell is getting freaky with Nathan and then he pulls away to answer the phone… does the caller happen to be one of our wolves from Blood Moon???

No comment. 😏

This was the public build so it might have been corrected already but the heist route in Ch7 ends with mc handing over the money and getting a receipt, though in future chapters it's in mc's account instead, gaining interest.

You're right! I'm sorry, when I wrote that, I didn't consider that some MCs returned the statue to the rightful owners and didn't have left over funds after tribute. I'll fix that up for the next update. 💙

barbwritesstuff

Anonymous asked:

sorry if this is a weird ask but have you considered extra flavour text for denying to pay tribute while you have admired status?

I looked at that scene and I don't think reputation based flavour text would quite fit... but your status among the court will come up in Chapter Eleven in a pretty big way, and a nine fingered Blackwell will certainly get some flavour text then. I hope that's okay. 💙

a-sleepyblackcatyawning asked:

I dunno if this is something you want to do or not, but do you think there could be flavor text during the sex scene if we attempted to bite Nathan in the warehouse? I was actually surprised that Nathan would allow that without some kind of ring gag after we went all bitey back then. Although I guess a gag like that would probably be the equivalent of iron croutons in blood soup or something to a strength-based vampire.

I actually totally forgot that some MCs tried to bite him in Chapter 7. I'll add in some flavour text. 💙

Though (lore drop?) Nate was never actually in any danger. He doesn't tell you, because he's still low key testing you, but his ward protects against all harm (head to toe, including dick) and burns the undead on touch. So if you had tried to bite off his cock, it wouldn't have worked, and probably would've resulted in your MC being staked by one very sexually frustrated hunter.

I'll add this information after the sex scene. I was planning on revealing it later, but in hindsight, it makes most sense in that moment.

As someone who was recently in Fukui, this isn't even scratching the surface of how mad the town is for dinosaurs.

For example, here is the outside of the train station:

If you thought that they were only outside the station, think again!

The last dinosaur has a crab, because the region is known for seafood.

You can even buy coffee emblazoned with dinosaurs!

And that's not even getting into how you get to the nearby Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. Behold, the Dino-Liner:

And if you're like, man I don't know how the museum will top all of these dinosaurs, boy do I have news for you.

And then you get to the cafe:

But, eventually, it was time to head back to the train station...on the dino bus.

They strongly back the ongoing attempts to reintroduce wolves to the area because it's a more sustainable way to maintain the ecosystem but also bcos they miss their family*

Their partner is a vampire who has lived in a heritage property in the park for 200 years and spends all of their time complaining that the trust restored the grounds wrong and trying to convince the werewolf to let them eat lost hikers

i know you described Gaius extensively but anytime I think about him I imagine one of those disheveled chihuahuas that are hanging on life by a divine miracle that have been incredibly poorly socialised and are now only filled with hatred and spite and literally no other visual comes to mind

Fair, honestly. 😅
