Would you like to choose the next character to go live in March 2014? Then check out the new poll running the entire month of December! There's lots of characters to pick from and the option to write in your own HTH character as an entry.

CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO THE CHARACTER POLL!

We will announce the winners in January. Characters won't go live until sometime during March 2014 updates. Everyone can participate in the poll. Please let us know what you think. If you guys like these polls we'll offer more in the future.

FREE MEMBERS: The trial event of Gold Content has now ended. But don't worry, there are more free events coming!

The upgrade to the new servers handled extremely well! Load times are much faster, and site stress is down which means we can guarantee that these events will happen again! There are no set dates at this time, but now that we know the server can handle it, we can definitely make plans for the future.


GOLD MEMBERS: Thank you for making this event a reality! Your subscriptions not only made it possible to upgrade to a dedicated server, but also afforded us the opportunity to get some major programming updates implemented. We greatly appreciate your continued support.

A big welcome to all the new Gold Members! We hope you're enjoying the additional content that comes with your subscription.


A huge thank you to all of our users from the HTH Studios Staff and Moderators! Your helpful feedback and positive conduct has given us a reason to look forward to these events in the future.

As usual, this month's updates should go live around the end of the month.

A trial of Gold content is now available. Charlotte, Britteny, and Keith are inaccessible for the event; however, if you like what you see, and you'd like to access them, you can purchase and activate a gold account and get IMMEDIATE access to those three characters, which gives you ALL of Gold content and includes RLD!

This trial event will end at 11:59PM on the 15th, Mountain Standard Time.

Also,

For the duration of the Free Gold Trial event, I won't livestream. The next stream is planned for Wednesday 9/18/13.

Start time is usually in the late evening (anytime from 8-11pm) Mountain Standard Time.

If you have paysafecard in your area, the HTH Store now accepts them! Here's a link to all the info on how they work and where to get them: https://www.paysafecard.com/en-us/b.....sales-outlets/

Also:

Since the upgrade to the new server, we're going to try another free event. This time for a whole 3 day weekend!

This month 9/13/13 - 9/15/13 Midnight to Midnight (Mountain Standard Time) all Free Members can try out Gold content for 3 full days. This will NOT include access to RLD - Red Light District.

We are optimistic that the new server and the extended weekend should prevent any serious loading issues. If there are any problems, we'll look into it and do everything we can to fix it for the future. We would like to have more Free trial events in the future.

All Gold members will get three extra days added to their subscription to accommodate for this event.

Would you like to watch the streams, but you keep missing them? Are you interested in Livestream recaps that are regularly updated? Would you like sneak peaks on what's upcoming in Gold content?

Huge thanks to  rots-targe and  theviewer34 for keeping it updated, answering questions, and figuring out how to IMBED VIDEO RERUNS!

Now it's more than just pictures! Watch FULL episodes of Crows Nest streams on the Tumblr, check out screenshots from the stream, ask questions and get answers!

If you want to help, and get your name posted on the Tumblr, send us screencaps of your favorite shots of the Livestreams! Full screencaps are preferred.

You can send them to: hthstudios.tumblr[at]gmail.com

We recommend using Greenshot for your snapshots: http://getgreenshot.org/

Tumblr is updated after every stream!

With Tanya posted, that's the last of the Roll Call posts. All of the characters posted on my FA gallery are active in game at their described locations with their interactivity listed.

In the future, whenever a new character or scene is added, I'll post it to my gallery under the Roll Call title. Actually, it'll probably be  tyvarapanther since she did ALL of the posts for me.

So now you can see what the latest updates are every month! Any update where a Gold character becomes available to Free members, I/Ty will post about that too!

If you want to see a Complete list of every character in the game and their interactivity you can visit our forum here: http://hth2.forumotion.com/t851-com.....high-tail-hall
Make sure you have an account there as it is not connected to your HTH Studios account (something we are working on).

You can also check out the Home page of the website for the latest updates as they go live. Updates usually get implemented at the end of the month.

I've noticed some people making comments regarding how many of what characters are in the game.

At this time there are 31 interactive characters in game. Gold have access to 21, Free members also have access to 21, 9 are available to both Gold and Free.

There are 6 equines currently live in game: 2 zebras, 1 unicorn and 3 horses; 2 of those horses are smaller chested.

Currently, there are 10 canines in the game. That's 4 Wild (1 is small chested) and 6 Domestic (2 are small chested).

In game, there are 4 felines: 2 Wild, 1 Domestic and 1 Prehistoric.

There's also 2 Bears, 2 Leporids (that's rabbits and hares), and 2 Mythical.

There are 5 Unique species.

Keep in mind that the game is still in development. This list will change and grow over time. This list will definitely change when June updates get implemented (which usually happens around the end of the month).

There's lots more variety coming into the game -- it just takes time, and patience. ^.^

***Quite a long way from 3 characters in the first HTH!

I'm going to go through both HTH and RLD and post all the active characters in their locations with their interactivity listings to my gallery. Both Free and Gold characters! I'm also going to do this as new characters are added to the game.

These are just SNAPSHOTS of the game. You have to go to the website to play with the characters. The files are just too complex to post on FA and SF anymore, so I'm sticking strictly to the website for the place to play with the characters from now on. It's more efficient for me anyway because I initially program for the site, so I don't have to spend time recoding and reworking the files for FA and SF postings anymore. Also, I'm paying for site hosting and servers, so it makes more sense for https://www.hthstudios.com to be the place to go to play the game in full.

This will also be an opportunity for Free members to see the characters available exclusively to Gold Subscribers.

A big thanks to  white-dragon-nl for the idea and  tyvarapanther for doing all the work.

I want it known that I do not condone anyone harassing or 'white-knighting' in my defense. I understand that I can't control everything that happens within my fanbase, but this behavior is not something I have ever asked for or endorsed -- nor is it something I expect from fans.

I'd also appreciate it if my fans didn't respond to obvious trolls. Your actions end up causing more problems for me in the long run.

It's not okay to harass or bully people.

If anyone is doing this now -- STOP!

Please let unfortunate situations go. Leave the drama-llamaing and enjoy the art instead.

And remember -- BOOBS ^.^

It's true! We now accept VISA through Chase Paymentech, authorize.net, and Orbital! Thank you for your patience while we got these integrated. These payment processors also take the other major credit cards.

Due to the overwhelming issues with their services we have disabled clickandbuy. So anyone who opened a clickandbuy account and would like to close it, please do so through clickandbuy. We do not have any access to their site and their account info is not linked to the HTH Studio's website.

Clickandbuy was the only site we could go with at the time we launched Gold Subscriptions, but we've moved on to much better payment processors. We will continue to incorporate other payment processors as the need arises and requests are made.

If you're in a country outside the US and we do not take something you use please open up a helpdesk ticket and tell us what you'd like us to integrate. We are currently working on integrating IDeal.

We can't accept AmEx, their charges were too extreme for us at this time. We will NEVER take Paypal or Payza so don't ask -- read our F.A.Q. as to why.

I want it known that I am perfectly fine with fan art, and I appreciate everyone who comes to me and asks if they can use my characters in a commission. I almost always say yes, because I love seeing other artists draw my characters. I also understand peoples’ desire to want to see more art of my characters, and I know I can’t always be the one to provide that, because I have so much on my plate.

I love fan art. I love that people enjoy my characters enough to want to draw them in their own style – or even mimicking a style I’ve used. It’s cool. But now it's time to address a situation that has been giving me a lot of problems.

I have revoked Droll3’s permission to use HTH Studios characters in any of his future projects, and have asked for his past artwork to be removed from any of his galleries.

He has made it clear of his negative opinions of my art style, my studio, and my business, even after offering years of our support and encouragement. I had even given him gallery space on my website because I appreciated his fanart. But, because he would rather get his information on troll boards instead of what is shown in Livestreams and stated on my forums, website, and social media outlets – I cannot condone his continued use of my characters. Even when I personally send him PMs with all the information, he doesn’t bother to get his facts straight. I cannot, in good conscience allow my characters to be drawn – let alone commissioned – by someone who uses trolls for his information.
I didn’t want to do this, but I’m tired of the complaints and the insults that have gone on for years. I’m done. Fan art should not come at such a price.

Despite what gets said about me, I am open to constructive criticism. That’s why I do my Livestreams with the mic on. That’s why Tyvara sits in and reads off your questions and that’s why we have the mods and admins on our site – to make sure everyone’s questions and concerns about the game get addressed.

Ty and I read every single email that gets sent to us. We do listen to your feedback, and we do work hard to make improvements and changes. I am still the only artist, coder, developer and everything else for High Tail Hall and HTH Studios. Just because I don’t do everything right away doesn’t mean I’m not listening to what people say. I can only work so fast when I’m the only one pulling the train.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

First off, I'd like to apologize for the site issues over the free day event. Despite my attempts to up the server capacity -- it was no match for the overpowering need for porn.

We'd like to offer more free events in the future -- probably something longer than a day. When we make a decision we'll make it public. Obviously, before I can do that I need to find a way to handle all the users. As these upgrades take place, we'll keep everyone up to date on the goings on, and do our best to forewarn you about any downtimes.

To everyone who bought a Gold Subscription: Thank you so much! Your purchases go right into the studio to keep this project afloat.

---

Gold Members:

Everyone will get an extension on their gold subscription for EVERY Free event we offer. The same goes for any downtime experienced during server/site upgrades.

Thank you so much for your patience and support! You guys make the upgrades possible and you deserve all the time you've paid for.

Are you frustrated by the slow game times? Do random black screens make you want to scream? Are you tired of frustratingly long load times?

There is a solution!

Purchase a subscription for Gold content!

All purchases go toward funding the studio and providing things like server upgrades, studio equipment, and so much more!

Prior to the Valentine's Day Special we upgraded to the highest personal tier our server has to offer. And it still isn't enough to support the 100,000+ members on our site. That's right -- over 100,000 registered members!

So if you'd like to see site wide improvements, please consider getting a $5 -- 1 month subscription. Everything helps keep the site alive, and allows for further expansions!

We are here because of you! This site is alive because of you -- because you want to play High Tail Hall. Your support will keep this site alive and thriving!

Thank you all for your support and patience.

The website is the place to go! All High Tail Hall related news updates are posted to the website.
It's also the best place to get your questions answered. There's usually a mod in the chats who can help you out.

Don't worry, I'm still going to use FA, I just can't post game files here anymore. It's too much of a headache for something I'm hosting on my own site. I'll still upload art and other info, but the place to go for your news is the website.

There is an archive feature worked into the next website update, so don't worry, you'll be able to read all the news posts if you ever miss any.

Thanks for understanding.

CCBill is finally integrated into the store! Many more payment options are possible now. Unfortunately we are unable to process VISA at this time. We are looking into other options.

With CCBill there's no need to get an account on their site, just pay through our store -- it's as simple as that. Debit cards are also acceptable.

The discount price is extended until the end of November.

Hope all you US folks have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Our server host is having some issues while they update software and other server host things. If you can't access the website intermittently throughout the day, that is why.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will add on a full day to all Gold member subscribers due to the downtime.

That's right! Gold Content is active! If your interested in contributing to HTH Studios and accessing exclusive content, the doors are open. Visit our subscription store and get either a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription. ClickandBuy.com can accept most creditcards -- including prepaid, as well as your bank account.

At this time, we can only work with ClickandBuy. So if you don't work with ClickandBuy, you can't get Gold subscriptions at this time. We are looking into other payment processors. When other options become available, we'll let you know.

Our prices are slashed for the grand opening starting at just $5 a month. We will only offer this price for a limited time -- after November 21st our prices wll return to $10 a month.

Gold Content will feature exclusive news updates, character interactivity, environments and puzzles. Gold games will update with 2-3 new characters a month and 3-5 interactive scenes. There will be previews of new characters and scenes in Gold News updates, so you'll have an idea of what the next month will have to offer.

Please check our website for pictures of Gold Content girls.

New faces and new features are in the game!

Look for Kira the otter at Nova Beach.

Jade the Red Panda is lounging in the Tower Lobby.

Anne's Private room is back in the Main Hall: Room 2. Now with more interactivity!

The Library is open! Check out the stories and see what else is new.

New dick and body models. Default cock options are available.

Lots of graphics, navigator and GUI fixes and improvements.

More characters are coming next -- all for the FREE content.

I'm up and back to work on the update. I'll let you know when it's finished and what's new.

Sorry folks, there were some problems with the uploads and it's taking longer than I thought. I've been working non-stop since before I posted the journal about updating. I need to step away and get some sleep. I'll be back again after I get some much needed rest.

I will keep updating these journals and the website front page to keep you informed about what's going on.

Thank you for your patience.

Game updates will begin shortly. Gameplay may become unstable for the next few hours as files are updated, replaced, and moved.

I will update this journal when the update is complete.

There are no Gold subscriptions available at this time. This entire update is for everyone!

As you might have heard on the stream or news posts, I am working on the Gold Membership content of the game. The Gold Membership will be launched within the next week or so.

With the launch of Gold Membership, I will also be introducing Gold Member subscribers with a second game called Red Light District.

Red Light District will open up an entirely new interactive zone with its own puzzles, hidden items, and of course some of the HTH girls walking the city streets. The ladies there offer a different experience to the luxury island resort, and are waiting to explore new fantasies with you.

Gold Membership will start off with a promotional price of $5 a month. You’ll have that month to lock in that promotional price for the entire year! Gold Membership will initially unlock three new Island areas as well as access to Red Light District which includes a total of six new girls and eight exclusive sex scenes!

The Gold Member zones will be updated every month with 2-3 new girls and 3-5 exclusive sex scenes. Gold Members will also have access to more frequent and exclusive news updates.

After the promotional month is over, Gold Membership will be $10 a month.

In preparation you should create a Click and Buy account beforehand so you don't have to wait for any validation processes when Gold Membership launches.

This does not mean that I have forgotten about those that enjoy a free membership. I will continue updating the free game to bring you new content with at least 1 new or returning girl and 1-2 sex scenes a month.

With this next update 3 girls are going interactive and the private rooms are returning for the Free zones!

We appreciate your patience as we work on all this new content. We hope that you are as excited about the new update as we are!

The Awesome Fossil has an Offbeatr project going. It's for his Cherri DVD! I've watched him work on this for years and he's so close to finishing! Go support Fossil's Cherri DVD and get some great perks! This DVD is worth it folks, it blows my mind and it's not even finished yet.

I am going to be switching out some of the core game files in the next two hours or so.
There may be a brief interruption of service.

The goal here is to test the ability for you to save in game data such as name species and the current character model. Yes, that means, NO MORE CYCLING THROUGH CHARACTER MODELS EVERY TIME A F*&%KING SCENE LOADS!!

It may be a bit buggy at first. I get to those after this has completed
