Progress reports were paused for the last two weeks because of the vacation taken by both CoC2 and TiTS dev teams, so meetings did not take place, and I want to have input from.
I wrapped up work on non-public documents and am wrapping up the overdue patreon scenes at last, starting with Olympia's scene. I'm doing them in no particular order and blazing through them so far. Azra's random scene is finished at 8000 some words, but I'll obviously go back and edit whenever Fen wants to use it. Or when I feel like writing another scene for Azra. You know how it goes.
In the next few days I'll be completing other various overdue patreon scenes, like Syri x Anno stuff.
Once I ready even longer-overdue mega projects (Roo) I think I will finally be back on track. I have several plans I constructed over the last few days of 2021 and once I'm finished with most of the overdue stuff I'll be sharing them. It will concern the nature of the $5 tier on Patreon, and what I want to do with getting content into TiTS and how I stream.
My first and closest goal will be to find a satisfactory way to mimic Mr. Pink's art streams on Friday where he does random requests -- random commissions with a word limit ($15/1000w, 2000w only or something, with discounts, or free, small requests) on a single day as a stream and the commissions will be scenes meant for TiTS. I need a way to not get crushed by overlong stream obligations but also be able to exercise my writing muscles.
I'll keep you informed on how I want to run the patreon and its pledges. But I do think I'll be keeping the $5/mo polls. They work fine... if I can keep up with it. And the polls are the reason we have a lot of content like the Blue Viper in Cherry's, which I think is one of the best things I've done, and I'm quite pleased with the straightforward Olympia scene.
Azra's scene can be found where I've mentioned it before, and the (a4) doc is where all overdue patreon stuff is currently going.
The first few weeks of this month will be critical.
As for insight from the dev meeting, Gedan has been popping into pubchat more and more on the Discord and a lot of the under-the-hood stuff is coming together. "There's a light at the end of the tunnel", it's been said. Talk of getting into New Texas and Tarkus and porting over that content is ongoing, with New Texas having already started.
Now that a lot of the initial JS conversion headache is over, we're going to be catching up in the next few months. There are a lot of stories I'm still wanting to tell.
We'll get there.
