W.I.P. - The Whiplash Update
Added 2024-02-07 06:06:39 +0000 UTCAs planned, I'm working on the update for The Whiplash.
I will fill in the blank positions (the gray buttons) and add a position with creampie, as well as a simple outro.
I will be working on a simple, yet cinematic scene with Lara after this.

You created this universe and it is your choice to see how you feel to manage it, as long as it is a motor to your creativity. I'll come back as soon as i got a bit more of money, keep the quality and the pleasure to create beatiful stuff above the rest.

2024-02-07 08:28:52 +0000 UTCSorry if I sounded a bit harsh, just in case. I am still trying to wake up. I did and still do have plans for "discount times," but I have no idea how to handle anything regarding the tiers at this point, or make people benefit from it. Because any posts other than scene releases or scene updates is ignored by most. People simply go with the flow and only do make their opinions known if they are extremely against it. So if most are quiet, I believe things are mostly going okay and I don't rush myself to make changes.

2024-02-07 08:15:09 +0000 UTCI also understand that last month was a bit empty, but I still managed to release a new look as well as an update for Challenge Accepted. Sometimes I do get "detailed," cancelling notes and I do agree with them, how couldn't I? If you think my scenes are not worthy of your money, then I can't say anything. But again, the price is what I feel, and I'm not forcing anyone. If people don't care about the little details or whatever I offer, and just want simpler animations, then there are lots of creators out there they can support. People called my scenes very cheap back in the day even when I first started, yet I didn't make any changes to the price because that's what I felt. Now some find it expensive, but that's what I feel. From your perspective, I only released a look and 2 animations last month. From my perspective, I spent countless hours just for the look and I didn't sleep literally for 2 days just to test and fix the scene for the look. I have worked ~30 hours, only taking breaks to eat or to stretch myself. I did it because I got lost working, I enjoyed it. But, it cost me time and energy. I slept like a bear for a day and then got back to work, crunching to update Challenge Accepted before the end of the month. It was New Years, I was busy with IRL stuff but I also kept working on the look and planned things, learned things, experimented, took notes, tried new stuff, checked other creators, gathered feedback... That's my perspective. You don't need to care about it or continue to support me. You have all the rights and I genuinely agree with your decision if that's the case. If you feel bad about it or think it doesn't worth it, then no reason to support me. At best, people can stay away for couple months and pay for multiple scenes in one go. At worst, they will tell me that I don't deserve the money because the amount of rough scenes got lesser, they don't like the girl, the new lighting, I release less stuff, or less positions or anything else... One thing I know which helps my mind to be at ease, is that I still enjoy VaM, I do have supporters who return my time investment to VaM and if things go bad for my page I can change things around and / or go for alternatives be it platform or just what I do in general.

2024-02-07 07:43:43 +0000 UTCI know that it might be expensive to some. But I do know that my scenes contain more positions than the average scene out there, with better loops, more details, better lighting, better expressions, better immersion and in some cases better performance considering the immersion. Everyone following me for a long time knows that I had my troubles with releasing content in a reliable pace due to variety of reasons, be it burning out, mental issues, different IRL stuff which keeps me busy or simply me can't deciding on the quality of the content etc. On the other hand, I don't force anyone to support me. This is not me being disgraceful, I do appreciate everyone supporting me but I don't want to spam scenes or release scenes I'm not comfortable with. I don't want to make "content." I just can't make myself launch VaM every morning and start making porn just for the sake of it. It sort of became my job, but I don't want it to feel like a job. I mean that's why I am here in the first place. I did learn a lot of stuff since I started releasing content for VaM. Other programs, easy novel engines and I do have friends who are game developers, wanting to make XXX games with me. I could go away, but I am still here, because I enjoy this and I wait for VaM 2.0. My mind is really busy when it comes VaM, my supporters, things happening on Hub, piracy, time limits, feedback, requests, ideas, preparing stuff, presentation and all that... So I am not the best when it comes to managing a Patreon page. In my mind, people are just buying me a coffee alongside a cookie. So yeah, it is surely expensive for some. But previous tiers just don't cut it. As I said my mind is already busy. I am not going around spending time to advertise, Hub is my only place to advertise. And there is an upper limit to supporters I can get from that, unless I spam scenes constantly on Hub. If you also follow me on Hub, you know that I didn't even release some of my scenes on Hub because I was too exhausted at that point or because when you release something on Hub, you are immediately targeted by pirates so I wait for some time before releasing some scenes on Hub. And then I made an investment last year, not only by money but also my time. I never stopped learning and improving since the beginning and I do still have room to improve my scenes.

2024-02-07 07:37:19 +0000 UTCI really love your work mate, but raising to 10 euros for less than a scene by month is kinda very expensive … :(
