Honor Amongst Thieves (WIP) — Updated 3/21/2025

Ahhh this remains one of my absolute favorite WIPs! Still madly in love with Desma, not sure if I’m ever going to be able to romance anyone besides her, especially after playing through everything again! Saw a hand full of typos that I’ll see about screenshotting when I’m not on a work computer but otherwise no issues as far as gameplay goes~ The writing is fantastic as always and I’m sending the biggest, brightest thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us =D

I am already so invested in any of the interactions or just pure eye contact between MC and the King that if I wasn’t so broke I’d support you with everything I have frfr

I loves this dialogue literally rizzing our way out of everything

Hey y’all!

I’m beset with technical difficulties, which has thoroughly ruined the Halloween surprise I had for y’all.

Patreon is being weird with me and the Dashingdon site isn’t letting me log in, so I must once again ask for your patience while I figure things out. All I ask is that you pretend it’s Oct 31st once I finally get it out to you, lol.

Very cool!

The demo for Honor Amongst Thieves has been updated!

We made it! Shout out to Dashingdon for fixing my access to my account to upload the new game sections and to a wonderful patreon that figured out an infinite loading issue!

So this update picks up after the first encounter with Merikh’s brother. This chapter is where the fantasy genre really comes into play hehe…

Enjoy a couple of flirts that definitely won’t have any repercussions at all! (Yet…)

I hope y’all enjoy and thank you again for your patience. I had to write several different iterations of these fight scenes, which really pushed my coding skill. There is a bit of character and plot development, both for the characters and the MC. Let me know what y’all think!

This was a lovely update, thanks!
I could probably spend a few hours just drinking wine and veiling threats to certain upstart nobles, hehe.

Will there be any punishment for flirting with everyone? So far the game doesn’t acknowledge shows of love interest.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! There will be repercussions, on both the relationships with the characters and the plot. I’ve been mapping out certain relationship stats separately and keeping track of how they’ll impact thing, but I’ve kept it separated because I don’t want it to get too tangled yet and break the game.

Such a thrilling update! I never expected that jerk to die so quickly. I thought Desma would just make some damage to his throat but I only realized the bastard wasn’t breathing when Merikh freaked out LOL Can’t say he didn’t deserve it. As interesting as it is to deal with the consequence of our (in)actions, I had to choose the other option for my diplomatic MC’s sake :joy:

I want to see how we can use this new pawn, and make it suffer way more than that if he tries something :smiling_imp:

Just to make you aware, Dashingdon hosting will be closing soon so I would recommend moving this to cogdemos or uploading a compiled html file:

Sorry for triple posting in a row, but I wanted this to have its own spot. Due to Dashingdon’s shutdown, I’ve moved the demo to itch.io. It seems functional on my end, but if you see anything broken, please let me know! I haven’t figured out how to bring the chapter and stats page images over, but the story itself is intact! Thank you to everyone who let me know about Dashingdon’s shutdown and for your patience as I update!
