After a great beginning to 2015 with a lot of entries this blog became very quiet. My open thread topics died off as I became very busy. There was actually a few times I signed on to start a monthly open thread, but then would get derailed by surprise events like Goblinboy's return (I actually went to post an open thread the same day Goblinboy made his first post in April and I chuckled about how it would look if I bumped his thread down the page).
Hopefully this blog can keep the momentum going through the year and I thought a good topic to get 2016 going would be for the authors/potential authors out there: what are your plans/hopes for releases for this year? Even if you just have an idea brewing and you hope this is the year, here's the opportunity to let us know what you're thinking. Give us as much or as little about the game as you want.
Feel free to err on the optimistic side for how much can be done: it's a new year, let's have high hopes.

Teacher's Pet by Dr Realgood - Released!
Reposted from http://drrealgoodsaif.blogspot.com/2015/12/a-little-about-game.html
You are a young man at school who has the chance to dog sit for his English teacher.
There is a test at school today, if you don't do well, you'll have to stay home and study instead.
7 points needed to progress, 2 very simple bonus points to be earned. One of my testers thought the quiz was impossible, but I came up with each question and answer off the top of my head.
IF you do need help, you only have to ask, I want this shite little game to be shite and enjoyable.
All sex commands are usual.
I urge you to smell taste and take everything.

You can now support Palaverous on patreon!
I love how these pitches tend to sound like they’re delivering
such good news. “You can give me money now! Weeeeeee~!”
As you can see me repeating on the page itself, I would be
extremely grateful if you could spare a buck for a humble storytelling internet
hobo over at my patreon page.
Thank you.
But yes, due to unpleasant meatspace circumstances I will
not ruin your afternoon with, I’m finding myself more and more in a situation
where I can’t really afford to turn my nose at possible alternative sources of income,
especially if it’s for doing something I actually enjoy doing. I have coded and
written essentially everything I’ve ever done in the scarce spare time I have
between two jobs, and that spare time is getting smaller and smaller as of late.
As I do not plan to use 3D modelling tools, at least in the near future, the
donations are not for the sake of upgrading any sort of equipment but rather
relieving some of the stress and pressure I’m under to help me focus on the
games. This stuff takes time to write, but I also need to get into a specific mood
and mindset to do that and few things kill that mood like wondering if I
shouldn't be worrying about other things instead.
Thank you.

Just a reminder that the end of SNEEZE Comp is one month away. The DEADLINE is September 30th. I'm eagerly waiting to see what everyone comes up with!
And so, either one of these statements is true:
1) There has been a flood of incredible, creative, sexy submissions for SNEEZE Comp.
2) There have been none so far.
Assuming statement #1 is true, then surely you don't want to be left out!
Assuming statement #2 is true, anyone who submits anything is sure to win! Glory to you!
Either way, have fun!
Submit entries to [my screen name here]93@gmail.com

Discovering our roots
I come here every single day, and now I'm absolutely sick and tired of seeing my own post at the top of the page asking you guys to give me money so I can keep making games.
As a result, I started thinking about something else I could contribute to this wonderful community. Then I remembered someone posting a link to a documentary in the Yahoo group about interactive fiction a few years back. I can't remember who originally posted it, and due to the horrible concept and design of Yahoo, the post was most likely quickly buried by some other thread before it received it's fair share of attention.
The documentary, directed by Jason Scott, details the history of the main genre that we've all come to love; interactive fiction. It's based on roughly 80 interviews conducted over several years, and primarily focuses on the beginnings of the genre, and the problems authors face when creating these kinds of games. It's perhaps even more interesting for creators of IF, as we can identify with some of the issues faced when creating these games (Oh god, puzzles!), but I definitely think it's worth checking out even if you enjoy any sub-genre of interactive fiction, including adult interactive fiction.
We, (The AIF community), are actually also mentioned as a joke during the Q&A!
So, without further ado, here it is; Get Lamp.

Support Palmer and Emily: Homecoming on Patreon
Apologies for taking your time to read something that's not related to a game release, but this is something I'm very excited about, and hence, thought I would share:
You now have the option to actively support the creation of more free and sexy games by heading over to Patreon and pledging a monthly or one-time amount! Patreon provides me with the opportunity to dedicate more time to developing games, as it serves as a potential second income. Creating games takes a whole lot of time, in fact, more than you can imagine. As you know, I'm pretty busy with university studies and my part time work. I've so far only been able to work during evening and nights, which is often far from productive due to being mentally drained, and to be honest, is getting harder and harder to justify. Patreon provides me with the opportunity to actually quit my part time job and instead devote that time and energy into creating more sexy taboo games. This is something I'm very excited about, and I hope you are to! So if this sounds like something you'd like to support, head over to my Patreon page and pledge an amount!
Thank you!

Working Man by Ice
Working Man is an AIF game I’ve been working on for some time now. I
hope you enjoy it. The game is built using Adrift 5.0 (Windows
executable) and is 100% free.
You can download version 1.01 from either:
Mega :
https://mega.co.nz/#!M9RyjZbK!iXj7BM5fuwcl7CRlL0jXK6l2PlxGaffvLpVnk03qUZ8
MediaFire:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/d1zn69w57sgts5k/WorkingMan-v1.01.exe
Game Info
In this game, you take the role of a normal husband with a lovely wife and daughter. Each weekday you work your ass off at the office before returning home late in the evening. Today’s work day being over, you have left the office and driven back home. This is where the game starts. The game has multiples endings and include adultery (no rape or incest). The game has been tested, but probably still contains bugs/typos.
Important message for everyone having issues with disappearing images & problem after entering the "code": After some testing, I've come to the conclusion that the issue occurs when you COPY/PASTE text into the Adrift Player. Somehow Adrift Runner doesn't like it. It has nothing to do with the game itself. The quick fix is : Don't copy/paste text in the Runner, type it manually. If it occurs for you, save your game, close the runner, open it again and restore your game.
Ice
PS: Bugs can be reported, here, SharksLagoon or on YahooAIF Achives.
