Some stuff changed, work will begin on the game once more on the 13th.
EDIT: In other news, it seems like we'll be going with 3DCG according to the polls... Don't expect that until around chapter four though, possibly the beginning of, possibly the end of.
EDITEDIT: Also, for you Scifi nerds who play NWN, I've included something at the bottom of the blog... It's a fun server, and I hope to try and get more people on it.

Progress 1/21/2013
Right, so progress for today...
Managed to finish designing the brothel, now I just have to put in events, people, etc.
Took some advice I recieved about making rooms a little smaller. Didn't touch anything old just in case.
Put in the brothel's "gatekeeper"
Worked mildly on events
Put in a sewer for you dungeon crawling folks (subplot-related)
Began work on the Circle HQ in Borisville
Likely won't be any progress updates/blog posts for the next two weeks due to being very, very busy. Sorry about that, folks!

"progress" 1/20/2013
Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while, turns out I was a lot more busy than I thought. Still, I got a bit of work done, not much.
Went back and attempted to work on some H-scenes... Writer's block hit me about halfway through, so I did some other things instead.
Thugs in the trashy parts of Borisville should be implemented soon.
A few more... graphic scenes have been partially implemented. They'll be skippable.
Swordswoman subplot is finished. (Spoiler: It's a tease scene, no H involved)
Began partial work on the Brothel, going back and adding a bit more design after this post.
Experimented with some of the event command functions I've been afraid to touch before. I don't feel it's worth it to go back and adjust something that I made workarounds in the past for, but it'll make future stuff easier.
Experimented a bit more with 3DCG and that giant mod catalogue I got... I like creating stuff in 3DCG, but I feel that my art capabilities are limited by my inexperience with the program, so I'm kinda afraid to add it in come Version 0.7 or 0.8.
Debated adding back in the bad end for the demons that I initially removed... I think I will.
Debated adding that ruthless killer behind the mayor's house... Decided to go for it.
Decided that the "Drunken orc" non-H scene will stay... It's kinda in bad taste, and not one of my finer works of writing, but I want there to be consequences for actions, and there's no better way to get that message across than waking up in an orc's bed feeling violated.
This project is transitioning from "sad" to "dark" rather quickly and I'm worried about it making a "grimdark." turn rather quickly here. Moreso because even though I like grimdark stories if they're good stories, I know a lot of people don't approve of grimdark.
That's all for now, thank you all for supporting my project! It means a lot to me, and gives me hope to make it better for all y'all!
Goals by the end of next week: N/A
I doubt I'll have time to make progress, but I'll try and sneak in a half hour here and there for polishing if I can.

Holy crap guys!
Holy shiznet! Was just checking in to see if I had any new comments I might need to respond to and it said I've gotten over 2,000 pageviews!?
Right... Well I'm going to see if I can fit some work time in tommorrow for this. I'm expecting myself to let out the next update some time in February.
So I should probably mention ahead of time that it'll seem like nothing's happening from Feb 1st to the 16th. This isn't the case. I'll just be very, very busy and won't have time to respond to much, let alone respond to the forums/blog something. After that I should be capable to give status updates again.
So yeah... Work on the project will resume tommorrow, hope to begin work on the brothel at that point, and... Hrm... I can't really think of anything else. Stay awesome everyone!
Ah, almost forgot. I'm looking at the polls... Looks like the majority want 3DCG with Text-only in second place. I'm going to make the assumption that those who voted Skyrim would rather see 3DCG than text-only, but I can't be sure.

Progress 1/13/2013
Right! Progress!
I took Saturday off and played a bit of Fallout 3, let myself chill. It actually paid off greatly! Though more in terms of long-term stuff than short-term things.
Browsed through the forums today, tried to address some stuff.
When I get done with things tonight, I should have...
A subplot with a Circle Swordswoman at the pub finished
Fairy sprites integrated for future use
Introduction and Joanna scenes completely integrated
A number of standard NPCs done around town
(If I'm lucky) The bathhouse scene finished!
Completely integrated the "daytime" mechanic. (Nytarra is only supposed to be in Borisville for a single day, so I have to limit the things she can do around town, basic shopping aside, to four or five. Each thing takes about 2-4 hours, so that's anywhere from 8 to 20 hours... Going to assume the maximum upper limit is 14-16 for this purpose.)
Oh! And I'll have a new poll up shortly to reflect what I've been told!
EDIT: Derp! Just realized I listed the title of this one as 2012!

Progress (1/10/2013)
Again, not a very progressive day... I spent a large portion of it dealing with school-related things. with the weekend right around the corner, I should be able to get a good bit done though.
Fixed a few bugs I discovered while browsing through various scenes IG. Decided that I'll need to go back and "Story-check" some stuff to try and make it a bit more versatile while I'm at it. I also did some work with the FAQ.
I want to send a shout out to Molitar, and thank them for including Jenallia's Wrath on that ULMF thread!
Oh! And there's a little treat I included in the FAQ for those of you who read these and don't mind spoilers! You might have seen it earlier today in the pages menu...

Progress 1/9/2013
Didn't get much done today unfortunately. Managed to create the Joanna followup scene (which will have another followup scene in a later chapter yet to be decided on)
Also added in the introduction from the post below, skippable since it's A. Long, and B. Not plot essential, just recomended.
Put up a poll in regards to art for the game also!
Hmm. On an off topic note:
I've been looking over the demographics and I'm actually a bit surprised! I had expected a few folks from North America/Canada, possibly parts of the U.K. but instead I seem to have a very varied audience which is really nice!
U.S. is obviously the main demographic labeled, but Germany/Bulgaria are tied for second with Russia in fourth... I just want to say thanks to everyone who's playing it, and that I hope you've enjoyed it up to this point! If there's anything you think needs changing or would like to address, feel free to comment or send me a message over one of the forums. I'm more than willing to take suggestions if I can work them in!
