News & Update - Reverse Headscissors & Concerns

A picture is worth a thousand words. Attached to this post is a tease for artist Turbun's latest sketch of an upcoming commission for the Bodyguard Girl Deluxe game. The results of the poll were pretty heated, but the reverse scissorhold barely etched in first place, so that's what you are getting. And given Vivian's measurements under Turbun's pen, well, our poor protagonist's head is getting lost between those thighs.

So you've got this to look forward to.

Work on the next build of Don't Flex On Me, Yumi-Chan!!! is moving along swimmingly. Nothing Earth-shattering to report on that front, but no issues either. Prepare for a date with Yumi coming soon!

The only reason why My Oppai Mommy Makes Me Want To Spill All Of My Company Secrets isn't out yet on Steam is because I still have to make a trailer for the store page. Seriously, this is the only thing keeping the store checklist to be completed.

I am very bad at making game trailers, and I've struggled to find both the motivation and the time to actually make it. I suppose I could half-ass it, but it does deserve a fair effort on my part. Expect it to appear sometime soon.

In the latest 'the Internet is quickly turning into a hellscape' news, I've seen at least two things happening this week that sorta disheartened me a little.

First off, my local government has changed some laws in regards to online commerce (look up Canada's RPAA regulations for more information), and it started a domino effect resulting in international payment providers being audited by said government. Immediately, payment processor Payoneer said 'nah, I'm pulling out' and I received a notice that my account was closing in September. No discussion, no appeal, no alternative offered.

I used Payoneer to withdraw the money from Patreon, since they had a more advantageous cut than Paypal, but that is not an option anymore. So it's back to Paypal for me, which absolutely feels like a fickle service these days. The foundations on which Peach Punch's revenue stream are built are becoming more and more fragile every day.

Secondly, Patreon reacted to the same regulations by asking me for an update to my tax information and a reminder that my payouts might be manually verified and delayed in the future. This one appears to be harmless at first glance, but I guess we'll see how it pans out. It does feed some doubt in my mind, I cannot help it.

This might be a good time to remind everyone here on Patreon that I do have at least one other option if you still want to support me, available through my Linktree. This other option is infinitely less troublesome for me, and appears to be much more reliable in the long term. If I ever disappear from here, then you know what to do.

And that's it.

I've been to my local Anime Con last weekend, and I saw the JAST stand with a lonely rep sitting there. I couldn't gather the courage to walk up to him and introduce myself as the secret dev behind Peach Punch and discuss a possible association. I kinda regret it now. I'm not very talented when it comes to networking and selling myself. So, err, yeah, missed opportunity here.

It also made me consider making physical merch of my characters. Would you like to own something like an acrylic stand of Yumi for your office desk? They would be fully dressed, of course, SFW merch and all. Is that something you would be interested in? I would need to commission exclusive art for it, but the acrylic stands themselves are really cheap to make and easy to order. Food for thought.

Keep your eyes peeled next week, Yumi might just show up for a date out on the town. Until then, stay safe out there!
