Greetings, one and all!I have news about new content being released for Sanctuary in Time, as well as changes on the horizon for how the game is distributed.Game AvailabilityDue to recent changes in content restrictions of adult materials on various platforms (plus other mitigating factors), Sanctuary in Time is switching to a distribution model in which future updates will only be released through Patreon.I know this will be disappointing news for many of you, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.However, if it softens the blow, know that the newest version of Sanctuary in Time is now FREE TO DOWNLOAD for a limited time on Patreon.

- New Book Now Available! - 21 May 2025
Greetings, one and all! In addition to being a game developer (under the moniker of Novus Operandi Games), I'm also an author, and I've got a new book available that I think you might find of interest. Brianna's Bloody Hammer is an ultra-violent tale of revenge, starring a female barbarian pitted against Nordic zombies in a dark-fantasy world. It's an action-packed, pulp adventure with copious amounts of nudity, violence, and over-the-top gore. Plus, it features a female lead with an Amazonian physique who's equally comfortable stripping down or arming up and doing battle with nefarious fiends. So, if this new sword & sorcery epic sounds just like your mug of ale, then grab your coin pouch and head for your local tavern, because paperback, e-book, and audio editions are now available on tap! Find it at AMAZON or other major online retailers. And if you enjoy it, please leave an honest r…

- The Steam Release - 21 December 2023
Greetings, one and all! Sanctuary in Time launched on Steam earlier this month, and so far, I'm quite pleased with the results! It took a fair amount of work to make it happen (this being my first title released on Steam), but all in all, I'd say it was worth it to help expand the audience by bringing the game to a whole new community of wonderful players. Sanctuary has been available on other platforms for a little over a year now, where regular monthly updates have been released featuring new content and expanded features. As of version 0.3.6, the game exited beta and became fully feature-complete (I know, it's not standard version numbering, but hey, I'm new to this). However, I'm always looking for new ways to expand and upgrade the experience, because I'm not just the developer, I'm a player like you guys, too. Sanctuary in Time is not only my first-released game, it's also one of…
