'Post-Request Raffle' & Patron Update!

No that's not a request raffle image up there, I decided they were all too lewd except for one that I felt was a bit too messy and I don't have time to fix at the moment. 

Classify the above image as a preview of some things I'm considering for The Couch now that we're slowly getting into story implementation and dialogue.

Request Raffle

Now to the topic, the Request Raffle went well enough, I started out a bit sluggish but got into it before long. Ended up with some of my favorite images so far, along with getting to try some new things! Thanks to everyone who watched! :D

As a heads up though, next sketch raffle I'll be using a completely different style! I'll be going lineless! No sketch phase, maybe a little, but not in a way that's useful beyond figuring out things. Basically i'll be going full painting style. This is something I've been doing less of cause I'm kind of afraid to do it... The results feel unpredictable somewhat. So sorry in advance if this results in some odd art, but I really need to work on my painting methods like I used to. But a lot faster than the 10+ hour paintings I used to do.

"Wait...did things change on the patreon page?"

Yup! I completely redid the goals and refined the page description. Most of this patron was written by a marketing guy I hired, he vanished for some reason (honestly it might be because updates were so slow starting out >_>) and I started taking over handling all this. Regardless, a lot of this info was over 8 months old!

I saw some comments saying the wording felt weird, and yeah I agree. So I changed a bunch to reflect current ideals and project scope. And give goals that are a bit more meaningful since we're already doing a lot of whats in those goals anyway...Most of the goals center around accelerating development. I know it's a bit boring but I really want to make sure that the rise in support means rise in consistency. 

We won't massively expand projects based on support, or do massively different things, we'll just hone in on what you came here for and do that better and faster. but as some point I would like to give a little extra something special, but that will happen regardless of goals. It's all time and timing really. I know i'm being vague on that intent but know I do have plans and ideas.

I also want to make things clear that the success of this Patreon has little to no affect on our client work, schedules may shift but the work I and MiNT agree to do will be done as agreed. It's not fair to clients and especially for theirs and our fans for issues to arise over supporting one or another. This patron is for us to support our passion projects and bring the hentai games we think the world needs, not to replace client work entirely. We're as invested in our client work as we are in our obligations here.

Development

In other news I'm here in "the office" with programmer MiNT again, this phase of development is rather crucial so it's important I be here to talk through things and point stuff out. I know we just had two request raffles in a row but I am trying to squeeze in some time on the side to get some small stuff done so the big stuff can be done this coming Saturday.

The previous update on development status was patron only, so here's some of that info on plans for the month!

Plans for the month

• Public builds for The Couch at the end of this month! This will be a light release, probably won't go on newgrounds or anything yet, just desktop and android builds for now probably. I'll just post it here and leave it at that until things progress a bit. I just feel I've held off on public builds for too long. So I thank everyone who can't support and have been waiting patiently.
• Settle on elements and ending scenes for The Couch's story
• 3D Lewds of Overwhored 2 Character Branda, these should be images and builds and will include animation. You'll likely find them on the Outbreak Games Patreon, but you'll find it here too. 
• Announcement of project "Little Black Bestiary" with a client
• Possible new Naomi 3D Model for later purposes

Thanks for your support!
