First, this big chonker is all the nonsense/general posts.
First Blog Entry: July 30th, 2014. Posted at 18:36.
Title: It seems I'm actually going to use this blog in the end.Blog Entry: August 4th, 2014. Posted at 06:21.
Title: Got a DLSite account.
Barreytor: "I removed the unsightly "About me" gadget (It's not like you can't just find my profile, but being nothing there, it was just taking up space) and replaced it with a blog list of other H-developers. One right now, but if you want to appear there contact me and I'll put you there."Blog Entry: October 9th, 2014. Posted at 07:24.
Barreytor: "I opened a thread basically challenging any and all H-Developers around to try their hand at making a game in 72 hours.There's a catch though: No h-content can be given for failing/losing/playing badly."
Title: Well, I did get something to show
Barreytor: "You might remember how I said I made a challenge of sorts at ULMF (link here) where basically the rules were "72 hours" and "no GOR".Blog Entry: January 4th, 2015. Posted at 14:34.
It got some good and bad attention." - "The game's name is "Fractal Dagger of the Twisted Maid", and you can download the version I could put together here at this MEGA link." - "Special thanks to LustFire for his help making some of the CGs for this game, they are of an astonishing quality and with an impressive attention to detail. You'll know which ones he made once you see them."
Title: Because making known my point of view on Piracy seemed a good idea
Summary: In this post Barreytor went into detail about how he feels on the subject. "Piracy for the sake of piracy" he views as being lowest impact, and views it as winning a player since the person wasn't ever going to pay. "I totes would pay if I could" is a stance he gets if there is a lack of money or demo. He stated as well that he doesn't expect to make a living out of this, and on some level would be almost reassured if people felt his works worth stealing. Similarly, Barreytor expressed something along the vein of "if you do steal from me don't upload it, especially not behind a pay or advertising wall, and don't infect it." He did go back in the end and ask outright "don't pirate my stuff and share it through ad links, it's a dick move."RIGHT, NO MORE OF THESE TIMESTAMPS...
Silas Take: I'm with Barreytor on this in a sense. If you're going to steal, don't then profit off of it. If you're hungry and stole some food from my pantry, I'd be annoyed you didn't outright ask me or find a better way. However, if you stole from my pantry and then started selling it to other people, I'd be absolutely irate. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn't be...
Title: Nothing to show yet
Title: Haven't done much
Title: Sorry for not having anything to show
Title: Sorry, but still nothing
Title: I did a little bit of work on ODK, plus got distracted.
Title: If you were expecting progress, I got nothing.
Title: Not much to say this time either
Title: Not much this week either
Title: There was some progress, but not enough to show
Title: More an "I'm still alive" post than anything.
Title: Haven't been saying much, have I?
Title: No, I'm not dead.
Title: And one monday more I update showing not much
Title: Entirely missed a week, didn't I?
Title: Wow, just, wow. Time goes by so fast.
Title: Use HEAD on DESK. Repeat.
Title: I know I've been silent lately.
Title: Did you miss me? Of course not, who am I kidding
I uh... Let's just... skip the rest of the titles actually... Woofta...

Barrey insulted himself in quite a few posts... (omitted because that's my job.)
At one point he very briefly worked on a game called Naomi's Nightmare...
It died.
It died.
Barreytor realized THE ENDING FOR ODK IS EXTREMELY MORBID. He made a poll as a result.
I announced I would be keeping a short leash on Barrey...
Barrey once upon a time had a poll about Patreon.
As well as a poll about Updates.

I also clarified the following, which still persists as of this post...
There is no contract between me and Barreytor.
There is no contract between me and Barreytor.
The artwork I make for him is free so far, and upon saving it - his entirely.
Things don't always go smoothly, but I don't try to drive from the backseat, and do try to provide realistic feedback.
The things I make, I don't even make with the intent for me to enjoy them; I like the idea that the player will enjoy it.
Just putting that out there since some projects have gone under for less....
Just putting that out there since some projects have gone under for less....
Alright, I think that about covers it for that. Here's all of the comments, give or take...
Anonymous - 22 November, 2014 18:10 - (With regards to a Karen CG)She looks very cute!
Barreytor - 23 November, 2014 05:13That's nice to hear, glad you like it.
Anonymous - 28 November, 2014 23:24 - (With regards to the ODK demo)This game is really cool! I've been playing for a good half hour now. I like it! Can't wait to play the full version.Barreytor - 29 November, 2014 05:30Glad you liked the game so far, and when the next demo comes out, it'll have improved a lot.
Anonymous - 29 November, 2014 01:08 - (With regards to Roxy on a tank)That's a pretty sweet and clean ride she has there... I just wonder how long it'll stay clean for. Heheheheh...Barreytor - 29 November, 2014 05:40I'm not sure if she would dare to get it that kind of dirty. For as much as Foxy Roxy might be, I don't think that's more than a rental.Anonymous - 06 December, 2014 22:43...That's a rental..? WHERE CAN I GET ONE!?Barreytor - 07 December, 2014 06:10Can't really say, I believe they moved recently, so I'm out of date with that info.
Anonymous - 15 December, 2014 22:23 - (With regards to a Roxy CG)
I'd put the game on Roxxy and tell her to go fuck herself... HEHEHEHEHE~
Barreytor - 16 December, 2014 06:35While that would be fun and all for everyone involved (specially Roxy), that would only make it harder to get the game, I think.
Spike Jackson - 17 December, 2014 01:42
I hear you on the slow progress. Frustrated with that myself right now.
As far as money, I would suggest Patreon and a donate button (I voted as such). Patreon has problems with some peoples' credit cards, so a donate method would hopefully cover anyone who has this issue. I can't use it myself because of this (to support others anyway, I can receive money as that uses a different method). And they just say they can't do anything about it.Barreytor - 17 December, 2014 05:41Well, the donate button is clearly winning and the Patreon is not close behind (along with "I want the game free", which for some reason I added as an option), so I'll probably go that way and use both options.
Anonymous - 08 January, 2015 14:46"it's a dick move." HEHEHEHEHEH... I'll... Em... Show my gutter mind out the door...
Barreytor - 09 January, 2015 06:20You're thinking the good kind of dick move, the one everybody wants to see.
Fayth - 07 March, 2015 00:38
[ERROR CODE BLOCK] < Thank you so much, btw, for catching that and submitting it to Barreytor, as well as trying to isolate a fix. This was a long comment, so I thought I'd input my gratitude and catalogue it as a nod to Fayth for this. Thank you, again!
VSPAR - 16 April, 2015 02:40 - (With regards to aThanks for the linky. :)
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
Thanks for the commenty. :D
VSPAR - 29 April, 2015 07:25 - (In regards to boobs in a CG)Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs!
That's pretty cool stuff, though. Can't wait to see what comes of it.
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
U right.
Spike Jackson - 03 June, 2015 18:56 - (With regards to EGA and CGA adventure games)I remember those games, not all of them were that bad. It would only have appealed to a limited audience though if you did go ahead with it. Some people would have played it just because it was something different though too. Don't think I've seen that done by an English-speaking H-dev.
Barreytor - 04 June, 2015 05:44It's more that the ideas I had were boring and wasn't really knowing where to go with them than anything else.
I might come back to it at a later date, who knows.
Alastor - 09 June, 2015 10:34 - (With regards to Barreytor providing a link to a demo of what was then called "Endless Tentacles")Thank you!
VSPAR - 26 June, 2015 03:18Pretty uninteresting? Does it have boobies? If so then it is interesting.
Postits ;P
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
U RIGHT, U RIGHT.
datanony - 27 June, 2015 13:02 - (With regards to "Violet's Escape from the Pleasure Purgatory - aka "Endless Tentacles")Nice work! I gave it a run only until round 10 so I haven't tested it extensively. No problems with randomly generated map/rooms, loot and enemies so far.
The animated gameover CG is nice, although I'm not sure which is the old or new. I actually prefer the lighting on the one without the background because I can clearly outline Violet's body with the more prominent shades. Its not very clear but I think there's boob physics?
Barreytor - 27 June, 2015 13:05The one without background is the old one, and yes, there is a slight bit of boob movement in the animation, but not much. Gotta be subtle.
I'll probably give it another render pass sometime later, wasn't really happy with how the lighting ended up being myself either.
Kieper - 13 July, 2015 16:58 - (With regards to a picture Barreytor uploaded while briefly mentioning the idea of making a comic.)*Reads comic idea*
Eh, whatever floats your boat, i guess.
*looks at picture*
YES!Barreytor - 13 July, 2015 17:30I don't know what you're picturing there, and though it might probably be right (specially if it's that girl getting fucked), I don't recall mentioning the actual comic idea...
I think I didn't, at least.Kieper - 15 July, 2015 14:15No, you didn't and i did find it strange you didn't say anything about it other than a picture. A general synopses or something might help gauge interest, but i just meant that I like so far.
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
If I'm not mistaken, Barrey actually does have some storyboard and comic-esque content out there with adult content of course being the primary focus. A lot is on the table, it's hard to say exactly what's coming, going, or what's going to just be another boob picture he's gotta upload... Either way, BOOBS.
Spike Jackson - 24 July, 2015 07:33Been there, done that. Several times I've been sitting there going "Why is that part darker/lighter? It should be exactly the same!" only to find out I forgot that I changed some detail on one or more of the parts.
VSPAR - 15 August, 2015 01:29Say something about that thing that you showed me, but haven't shown them. Or just post boobs. Posting boobs always works.Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
DID SOMEONE REQUEST BOOBS!? I THINK I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT..!!
Er... When I'm done with this that is...Anonymous - 25 August, 2015 00:38You should post on ULMF more often, far as I can tell it's a far more popular platform to discuss H-game development than individual dev blogs. Kinda disappointed that you stopped working on VEPP, I loved how it's developed so far - but if you have a clear idea of what you want to do with this next game I can't wait to see what it is.
Barreytor - 25 August, 2015 07:42While I agree that right this moment I'd have more exposure by posting on ULMF, what would I be posting there anyway? "Hey guys, I stopped working on this project and starting a new one because of stuff that I can't blame onto health problems. Happy times everyone".
I left VEPP away for the time being because I got stuck and couldn't really advance on anything. Or because my easily distracted nature tied with my lack of focus made me try and do something else. Or maybe I bit more than I could chew?
Either way, I fully intend to come back to it... Someday.
But, really. I already say little in my blog, what could I even post on ULMF?
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
I should also note that Nunu and DarkFire1004 probably wouldn't be very pleased with the continual "I got nothing" comments if you translated this directly into ULMF posts. They try to run a tight ship and already have a lot of nonsense to put up with. Me personally, I'd like to avoid stepping on their toys.
VSPAR - 03 September, 2015 01:50Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! YAY! Boobs!Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
Have I ever mentioned that I like how you think..?
Anonymous - 06 October, 2015 07:01You're not the only one working silently, Barreytor! Hopefully just a few more hours and I'll have something to finally show for it... Not that I'm sure anyone remembers your old project, lol. Let's see if we can fix that ;DPeregrine Silas - Just Now.
Oi! Watchu hidin!? You can't just plug that you've got something under wraps and then not share..! Similarly, the only person I can think of that can't remember what Barreytor has worked on is... Actually Barreytor... Wish I was kidding. The more you know~
Spike Jackson - 23 October, 2015 19:43The picture site you mentioned before does sound interesting, but I don't really have anything useful to suggest at the moment. I'm terrible with names for one thing lol. I would be up for participating though, if it gets to that point. Just keep in mind my internet is touch and go for the next couple of months at least, so if I don't respond right away that may be the reason.
Yay! It's a great game! Go and get it!
Anonymous - 13 August, 2016 22:17 - (With regards to Booty Hunter Shem being released)... Tried to get it Kimochi says its only the demo. any info on how to get the full ver?Barreytor - 14 August, 2016 07:03As stupid as this might sound, I never got around making it available anywhere after Kimochi went through their "We're closing down" phase because while I tried to get a list of the people who got the game from them, I got completely ignored.
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
Hmm... List of things to ask Barreytor about... Got it...
VSPAR - 09 January, 2016 03:30 - (With regards to Barrey smack talking himself)Nothing you've done has been made of stupid yet, and you still get way more projects done than me. I say: keep it up! You can do it! We love your content!Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
Thank you for the kind words of support! I'll make sure Barreytor reads them, again, since he never replied to this comment.
VSPAR - 18 March, 2016 00:08In MY personal opinion death should be taken into consideration for the GAME'S sake.
A. Does the game revolve around the death of the character, whether gore, vore etc, or not? Then that's a part of the game, and you can include it whole sale, at face value - go nuts.
B. Does the death of the character matter? If not, then there's no need to have it in there at all, go straight to a "game over screen" and be done with it - imply rather than tell about it.
C. After the decision is made that gets the character killed, do they actually die immediately, or does something special happen between the decision and the death? If there is something special include IT, then to the game over screen.

VSPAR - 06 April, 2016 23:45 - (With regards to the Bunny Blaster Demo)I'd... blast... those bunnies....
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
To my knowledge this project has been slated for a remake at some point. So as once you had, so once more shall you again.
Spike Jackson - 08 April, 2016 22:43 - (With regards to Barreytor's power outage.)That sucks man, hope the weather/temperature was bearable with the power out.
My internet has been unreliable due to the windy weather here (randomly disconnecting).
Barreytor - 09 April, 2016 07:58The weather was completely bearable without power, maybe a bit too windy, but nothing really special.
Where I am: that's why I moved INTO the city so there would be less power outages during the winter (due to too much snow).
VSPAR - 04 July, 2016 11:24 - (With regards to my first blog entry on here.)Well heylo, Silas. I'm VSPAR. Hopefully you've only heard good things about me so far. Good to see more posts - and I have like what I've seen of your sprites so far!
Peregrine Silas - 05 July, 2016 05:55Glad to hear you like my spritework! My main focus is to try and provide the viewer with a certain level of quality. ^_^;
Generally speaking, while Barreytor has mentioned you, we very rarely ever talk about others. When we're talking, we're usually knee deep in some project or another. XD;
VSPAR - 26 July, 2016 01:34I've been enjoying your work as well. Might eventually contract you for sprites if I ever get back to CoaTF. :)Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
Looking at your art, I'm not even sure you actually need a spriter...
۷(°д°; )۷
I can't see me providing anything of real worth, I'm just a dude. Might be worth discussing someday though.
Keep up the awesome work, mah boi!
Orexius - 26 September, 2016 19:15
[ERROR CODE BLOCK] < Another great catch, thank you so much for that. This is another quick thanks and nod to a very wonderful comment from Orexius. Thank you, again!
Wow, thanks for the fast catch!
I guess GM's IDE is more lenient about those kinds of things than the compiled version is.
I updated the link to the demo, make sure it's 0.991
ich-bins - 10 October, 2016 16:33graphic like SNES. nope i dont like
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
This was intended as a complaint, but both Barreytor and I took it as a compliment. I absolutely loved the dedication, love, and absolute life early sprite artists like those at Nintendo breathed into their spritework. It's an extremely interesting and often times frustrating experience to find just the right way to compress or even express details in a simple and stylized fashion. I'm extremely pleased to hear my artwork is even remotely comparable..!
Spike Jackson - 28 November, 2016 19:03Good luck with the real life stuff, hopefully it's nothing too terrible.
(I'm still around if you want to talk or whatever, just been quiet)
Peregrine Silas - Just Now.
I can't particularly speak for Barreytor on this, but as for me... Ha... Haha... HA... HAHAHAHAHAHA...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..!
It's been... "interesting." (╯ಠ_ಠ)╯︵ ┻━┻
To note, Barreytor gave me permission to condense the blog since a lot of it is out of date, irrelevant, or just all around not that helpful. This should be the meat of what there was.
He as of this being published has not peer reviewed my post, but he's been indifferent at worst to my antics and quirks, so it's probably safe, right..?
