Commission Information

All pricing information is for half body commissions. I do bust portraits and full body, if you have an interest in these just let me know.

How does this work? You message me (here, ko-fi, or discord) with what you are looking for in regards to art. We will discuss it and I will let you know price and a prospective time frame. At this time I am setting up wait lists, you can see which availability is next. The dates are prospective. I can do my best to give an estimate, however sometimes things take longer, and sometimes I am able to work faster. You will be kept informed of the process and any prospective changes to the timeframe. With the inclusion of a wait list, payments are not due until I am ready to start the piece. Payments can be made via Ko-fi and PayPal.

You will also be notified when changes can no longer be made. For example, when I start the detailing phase I cannot do pose or layout changes. The latest these change can be made is when I set the flats and send them for color approval. Color change requests can be made during the detail phase.

If you have any questions about the process, or things I can or will not do, please do not hesitate to ask. If you would like to see more work I have done you can find them under #my art and #finished commission.

July Commission slots 1. Rory - Completed 2. Eleana - Completed 3. Parven - In Progress. 1/3 Done 4. Clover - Completed August 1. Eleana - prospective start date of August 10 2. Rory - Prospective start date August 15 3. Never - Prospective start date August 22 4. Nocturn - Prospective start date August 28

Public release of CT:OS update #8 IS LIVE!!! 🎉

<Reposting as a standalone because it seems a reblog thread always confuses people>

Can't wait for you guys to play it 💙!

Roughly +76k words, ~15k words in a single playthrough (estimated).

Features

  • Meet Sam again (if you chose to have them come over for the weekend)—yes, running bear hugs are possible, and you can even choose to wear Sam’s jacket! 👕
  • Hallmates will come watch your game (with a poster!) 
  • Play your first doubles match with your newly-minted partner 🎾 [Includes some sneaky tactics like a fake argument (or a real one 👀)] (achievement up for grabs) 
  • Find Tobin, Rayyan, Sam, G, or your hallmates after the doubles match (before the singles match) [Possible smooches 💋!]
  • Nicknames added throughout the game (from the beginning!) [There are opportunities for MC to earn unique nicknames from dad, teammates, Sam, hallmates, G, Tobin, Rayyan, based on little moments in the game!]

If you've not played the early-release, I suggest you start from the beginning if you want the nicknames, otherwise I'm hoping that saves shouldn't break... (🤞)

Also, for those asking for the CT:OS/Merry Crisis discord link, I've finally figured out how to create a link that never expires. Silly me. Link below.

Most of you have already bought my game and stories but reblogs would be wonderful.

Nine barons rule the market , a place so vast that not even they can truly know its scope. But, one baron holds the key to your safe return home. Yet, no one has seen or heard from them in over a decade.

Chapter Ten and the Epilogue are out!

Hey everyone!

This announcement is basically just what it says on the tin. You can now play the past part of the game. Here's the link if you don't have it handy.

I don't think there are any particular content warnings for this one other than Zeus existing, but my brain is kind of scrambled eggs right now, so if I've forgotten something, please let me know.

I feel like I should have some thoughts here about actually being finished with the game, but either because of the brain-eggs thing or because I still have a lot of editing to do, it's hard to think of myself as done.

Just a few things I've been getting questions about clarified in one place:

  • FoA's first draft will remain where it is, as it is, complete and free, until I submit the edited version for publication. I estimate this will be about three months, (so until March 1, 2024), but can't say that for sure.
  • The second draft will bring about substantive changes both from a game design standpoint (various systems) and a character standpoint (some pacing things are going to change, particularly with the romances that probably should be a little bit faster paced than they are. A smidge.)
  • I may or may not be doing a closed beta test for the second draft. That's not me being coy, that's me genuinely not knowing if I will.
  • There will be one sequel. I will begin working on it immediately after FoA is submitted for publication.
  • If you want to follow the editing process, I will probably be summarizing my progress monthly here, but I will be going into much more detail and previewing the edits on my Patreon. No pressure ever; that's just an option if you'd like to see more or support me as I go.

Thank you, everyone, for your support, critiques, and suggestions. They've already made FoA a much better game than it would have been without you, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to take more of them on board as I move through this next part of things.

I hope you enjoy.

Thicker Than - Monthly Update

GIF by ooevilynoo

Happy full moon everyone! I hope you had a great month.

I've updated the public Thicker Than demo:

You can play it here.

Please let me know what you think.

I’ve been mostly working on Chapter Six this month. It’s still early stages, but I’m hoping it’ll be really fun when it’s finished. I also fixed up some issues with existing chapters (eg, added new paths to get to certain scenes etc.) which was something I’ve been meaning to do for a while.

However, overall, I’m not very happy with this update. It’s really short, and a lot of it I think needs to be reworked and fixed up.

Real life has been a bit messy recently, which I think is why I haven’t been writing as well as I usually do.

But, even though I’m not 100% happy with the update, I still wanted to share it just to show my progress and keep getting feedback. I’m really grateful for all your encouragement and the ideas you’ve been sending my way. There are some I haven’t had time to implement yet, but they’re on the list of things I’d like to do.

Here is the link to my KoFi page if you'd like to support me or sign up for weekly updates.

Happy hunting, vamps. 💙

Welcome to the Night Market

Thicker Than - Monthly Update

GIF by mashamargulis

Happy full moon! I hope you've all had a wonderful month. I love October. Here in Australia, it's the right mix of spooky and springtime.

It's time for another Thicker Than demo update.

I made a lot of progress this month and am excited to see what everyone thinks.

This update features a couple of steamy scenes, a romance reveal, and a possible showdown with a hunter. I also added a few more options and choices in Chapter Five to make the time skip less jarring, especially for reluctant vampires. I hope you like it.

Screenshot the game to get your results! Feel free to reblog and share what you got! 😉

(The titles should be fairly self-explanatory, but here's a key if you want:

  • Mission partner = who you prefer to have your back on missions
  • Bunkmate = who you're always bunking down with/sharing a room or a tent with while out in the field
  • Fake couple = who you'd pose as a fake couple with (typically for undercover reasons)
  • Always disagrees with you = thought it was more descriptive than 'rival')

This actually makes a lot of sense 🤔

The overlaps are funny. One night stand with your enemy. Drinking buddy doomed to die. If you’re going to fake couple, may as well be with your bestie, that is what they are there for.

The demo to Apartment 502 is here!

It's been a long road. First thank you for your patience and understanding. 502 has been delayed so much mostly due to my own resistance, but it's here!

The demo is the pilot episode and I consider this an introduction. Episode 1 is when things really start to move but I wanted a good start just to introduce some key characters.

What to expect:

⛟ move to nyc and get dumped! (totally normal)

⛟ meet the people you will spend your time with now that you're totally and completely alone

⛟ try to find some purpose now that you're utterly alone in a city you don't know. totally cool. not a problem at all

**the stats have not yet been implemented and will be added in the next update!**

This is a WIP that I have changed constantly. There may be errors or typos/mistakes and if there are, please let me know, especially if there are parts where it may seem like a passage or scene was skipped.

You can probably tell where I started frantically deleting and changing plot points lol. The next update, this demo will probably be rewritten and updated but we'll see. I just wanted to get this out because if I didn't, I never would.

I hope you like it!

The demo is 41,780 words. Play Apt. 502.

Thicker Than - September Update

Play the demo free here.

Happy full moon everyone! I hope, wherever in the world you are, you get a chance to see it.

I've had a really great month writing-wise. I got a lot more done than I thought I would. Chapter Four is now complete, and I've made a start to Chapter Five.

I hope you like it.

  • Current word count: 99,096
  • Additional words added this update: 37,058

Just a reminder: This game contains sexually explicit content, graphic violence, and horror themes. It's also a work in progress, so please let me know if you spot any bugs, errors, or anything that you think could be improved.

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the transition from Chapter Four to Chapter Five. I'm a bit nervous about it but hope you like it.

Also, if you'd like weekly updates instead of monthly ones, please take a moment to check out my Kofi page. I update the demo there weekly, offer commissions, and have some other fun stuff.

Email me at: barbara truelove writes [at] g mail [dot] com

This game is a sequel to my previous Choicescript game Blood Moon.

Alright everyone, the moment as come. Sort of.

So, I have the introduction for book 2 on my Patreon at the 5 dollar tier. It is a rough draft and the UI is not completed yet. However, I have been so stuck in book 1 with the coding and the patches that I want to hear from you guys. Get some inspo. This Intro is subject to change before the release of Chapter One. But, if you are curious, please go read. Then head on over to my discord to shout at me and give me some creative juices. I feed off of all of you. :)
