The Milk of Inhuman Kindness Introspective ( + Porn Game Design Thoughts)

I dunno if this would be an introspective or a retrospective or some other type of spective, but the fact of the matter is that I have a few thoughts I want to put down on paper about the game I released recently The Milk of Inhuman Kindness, which you can get here if you haven't already done so.

This was my first serious attempt at making a "game," even if it's "just" a visual novel made with a...

BIG Announcement!! (Writing Full-Time!!)

Hello again! Here's that announcement that I've been putting off writing, mainly because it addresses a lot of things that have been making me nervous! But that doesn't help me, and it doesn't help you! So let's rip the bandage off. Together.

I have quit my previous job and am now going to be writing full-time!

It's a big, scary leap, I know! Mostly for me, admittedly. Well, almost entirely for me. But based on the numbers I ran, I should be able...

The Witch's Familiar

Thank you so much for your patience! Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in a day, but there are hopefully going to be a great deal more soon.

Laurence the mage is a talented student at the Drossler Academy for Aspiring Magicians, and it's in no small part to his mother's magical talent! She was a powerful feline sorceress. So powerful, in fact, that Laurence inherited more from her than normal. He's gifted with a talent for spellcraft nearly unheard of in boys......

The Milk of Inhuman Kindness (Official Release!!)

And NO that is not a PUN. Or at least it wasn't intentional.

99 Patron Announcement! (Discord Server + VN Sneak Peek)

It would've been 100 Patrons, but someone dropped out while I was setting it up. A cruel irony I only discovered as I looked up, sweat-sheened and grappling with the madness that are Discord Roles.

I can't believe I finally hit a milestone like this!! I remember when I first started this Patreon, I was barely optimistic that I'd be able to get a handful of supporters. Now I've far outgrown my wildest expectations, and I have to do something big and fun to celebrate!! So, I thought to m...

Class Act

Fun Fact: I thought about naming this story "Tit-orial," but I decided that was too much for even me. That's saying something, considering I have a story named "Case of the Cumbrains." But what's the story about? I'm so happy you asked!

Clement has just earned his Adventurer's License! He's undergone the rigorous examination process at the Temple of Light, and they've assembled a host of statistics necessary to officially title him an adventurer! Now a Level 1 Knight, Clement is eager t...

The Milk of Inhuman Kindness (NSFW VN Beta Test!)

Lemme just say. Never set a deadline for something you've never done before.

(Hoo, boy.)

Well, then! With that being said, I have big news! I've tried to keep it relatively mum, but I've been working on making a short, NSFW visual novel! I don't want to get you guys all too excited, considering it's very short and my very first attempt at anything like this, but I also worked very hard on it and got some great art from 2020-05-27 04:58:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Plans For May (w/ Pretty Pictures!)

So, as you may have noticed, April was a little slow for me, and this is for a few reasons.

First, my job is considered an essential one, and not one I can do from home, so the bulk of my time and mental energy has been taken up by work and lowkey stressing over the situation I've been put in by my employers. I'm not going to act like I'm some kind of suffering martyr, of course, but it's been rougher than I think I've admitted to myself.

Second, I've been getting in contact with ...

Cat's Paw (w/ Pretty Pictures!)

Hey, everyone! I hope your April was as great as it could be, considering what's going on. I'd like to apologize for only being able to put out one story this month, but tomorrow I'm going to be making a post explaining why that was...along with a few goodies you'll hopefully enjoy! For now, let me talk about Cat's Paw.

Robert Phelps is the city treasurer, and right as he's preparing to join in on a video conference regarding important city matters, he gets a knock at his door. Enter Ca...

Cuckoo's Day

Happy April Fool's Day!

Just a quick warning, this story touches on themes of infidelity, specifically a boyfriend being unfaithful to his girlfriend, so if you're sensitive or averse to stuff like that, feel free to skip this one. That being said, this is more of a lighthearted take on the scenario, so maybe that's something you're willing to glance at?

Brady and Stephanie are a young couple going to a Cuckoo's Day party, a holiday specifically celebrating flirting with everyone ...

Arcadian Dreams (Ch. 2)

Another update to the saga of Sasha Teeg and his Arcadian Dreams!

In this chapter, Sasha gets a bit more accustomed with his day-to-day on Arcadia. After all, it can't just be feasts and harems of phantom nymphs! After waking up in his personal "suite" in Arcadia, Sasha meets his Arcadian "companion," who absolutely hates being called a "guard." Doesn't fit the Arcadian branding at all! Lucia's job is to make sure that Sasha gets used to life on Arcadia, and that means showing him what ...

An Unconventional Defense

Gosh, a lot's going on, isn't it?

Hey, everyone! First off, I've had a few people ask me this, so I'd like to say that I'm doing fine! Feeling healthy, and my job has officially been deemed "essential" by the state government, so I'm not going to be out of a day job because of COVID-19. Unfortunately, that means I haven't had as much time as I'd like to spend writing (I was so sure we'd get the axe), but I think I prefer financial security over the alternative.

And of course I sti...

Asleep at the Wheel (not a story)

"Oh, boy," I thought to myself, confident I had just posted Arcadian Dreams Ch. 1. "Three posts this month! I'm back, baby! I'm sure some of my fans are night owls. Maybe I'll wake up to some thoughts on the first chapter!"

And it was with that fond hope that I laid down to sleep. I have today off, so I was ready to sleep in and relax.

I woke up to a few emails. What a delight! Surely it was people giving me their thoughts on the story!

One was sent to inform me I hadn't ...

Arcadian Dreams (Ch. 1)

That's right, there are three posts this month! One of the benefits of getting settled in to my new place is having more time to write when I'd otherwise be getting interrupted or otherwise thrown off my metaphysical groove. I don't know if I'll be able to get much more than three or four per month, though, but I hope to be a bit more regular in this regard going forward. As a wise man once said, after all, "You gotta be regular if you're gonna be happy." He also said "Do you like lamb, Doc?"...

Monster Girl Mixer - Chi Chi Chi House

Hey, everyone! It'th the return of a fan favorite thith time! Two, in fact! Writing one of the other thtorieth- Akpth! Writing one of the other stories last month reminded me just how much fun the Lorem Ipsum setting is, so I figured I'd make a more explicit return to the Monster Girl Mixer format, no pun intended.

That's a lie. My puns are always intentional.

Anyway, this story was fun, and it features a character a fair number of people have been asking about, too: Mary the nerd...

Case of the- i cant do this, the title is too silly

I'm just writing this text to ensure that anyone who has any delusions that I may be a good author isn't put off by the title. That should be long enough!

...Anyway, this story is called "Case of the Cumbrains." Now you probably understand why I had an existential crisis in the middle of the title for this post.

In this story, Victor has a nice chat with his friend Gale online about a nasty little illness he came down with. When magic begins affecting diseases as well, you get som...

The Ghost of Fiction Yet To Come

Hoo, but that sounds ominous.

So this is more of a reassurance on several fronts. As you may have noticed, I've been posting a bit more frequently lately. While I don't want to jinx anything, I've been going through a fair number of big changes recently, including moving to a new place and fixing a smoking engine that came out of absolutely nowhere. 

Thankfully, things have calmed down, and I finally have the time and energy to put a bit more focus on writing again! ...

The Fourteenth

Hey-howdy-hey-hey!

Of the Post-Christmas Trio, this story is best described as the Ghost of Fiction Present, even if it's nowhere as jolly as the spirit in the original Charles Dickens novel. The reason being for its role is that it's a story I wrote this month! That's about as "present" as one could expect.

As for why it's not altogether jolly, that has to do with the story itself.

In this story, a TA named Michael copes with a smug, chauvinistic Ocker named Jess...

The Perils of Fame

Howdy! I come to you bearing gift! This is going to be the first of three tonight, kind of a late Christmas Carol sort of deal. This first story is a story that I had written a while back and never found the time to publish for whatever reason, so I guess you can consider this the Ghost of Fiction Past!

This analogy is already working out distressingly well in my head. You probably can't tell why if you only read this first post, but bear with me, and you'll see why it's all fitting int...

It's a Christmas Miracle! (Invasion of the Bawdy Snatchers)

The holidays have been, as per usual, a hectic time, filled with the wonderful exhaustion that only family can bring. I managed to get all my shopping done, but unfortunately I haven't had the time to do much writing lately. Fortunately, I had the foresight to write a few stories ahead of time!

This one is all about a group of goblins and their nefarious attempts to gain husbands. Given that I'm an incorrigible nerd, the inspiration here is when a boss fight more revolves around a bunch...

State of the Patreon Adress + Three Stories

So, as some of you may have noticed, I haven't been around much lately. There are a variety of reasons for this, as there always are, but I wanted to let you know that I'm not gone. In addition, I still intend to write more of the stuff you've been kind enough to support me for.

I'm going to be thinking about how to adjust the Patreon, since it seems as if anything time-based or quota-based is simply not in the cards for me at the moment. I don't want anyone to be charged for anything t...

It's a Christmas Miracle! (Chance or Trance & Marital Habits Ch.4)

If you ever want to get something done, you should probably not wait until it's Christmas time to do so. Of course, I more mean shopping when I say that! Writing's a breeze no matter what time of year it is!

Anyway, this post has two of the stories I've had on my backlog for a good long while, so I'm finally getting caught up to the point where I've cleared everything I said I would write! Past that, it's going to be all new writing, so just enjoy these in the meantime!

P...

Trials in Tainted Smut!

oh jesus that title sounds a lot grosser than i meant it to

Anyway, hi! I'm back! Or rather, I'm here again!

As some of you may already be aware, I've been writing for Fenoxo's Trials in Tainted Space lately. It's been such an honor to work with a writer who's had such an impact on my writing, and I'm honestly kind of thrilled that he considers my writing to be good enough to put in the game!

That...

Apologies and an Update

So, there's no real easy way to make this announcement, but I decided to bite the bullet and finally say something. I'm still here, and I'm still committed to writing. I could make excuses, but those won't change the fact that I have stories left untold and, to be perfectly honest, unwritten.

Until I finish all the stories on the proverbial docket and post them up here, don't expect to pay for anything on this page. At this point, I don't want to make any promises with regards to schedules, bu...

From Which All Life Flows (Chapter 1)

 [this space is similarly being intentionally left blank so I don't embarrass myself with sleep-deprived rambling right now]

[please look forward to the first chapter in a new continuing series when my brain works]

Marital Habits (Chapter 4)

[this space is being intentionally left blank so I don't embarrass myself with sleep-deprived rambling right now]

[story will be posted in full sometime when my brain decides to work]

Consent Is Key (unpaid minipost)

I wish there was a word for a short short story. Shorter story? Sto?

Anyway, I've been struggling with momentum lately, and while that's no excuse for sluggishness, it's the reason for it. That being said, I have been writing, and here's the proof!

I really like the idea of a cute, dorky girl who just happens to be capable of near-instant seduction. Sexy Prime was supposed to be about a girl who was almost completely oblivious to her own seductive prowess. Whil...

Another Announcement!

So, I haven't been posting a whole lot for the past few months! The explanation for that comes in the form of both good news and bad news. In the interest of getting the heavy stuff out of the way first, I'll touch on the bad:

There's been a lot of changes going on in my living situation, and while I don't want to get into the specifics, it's some relatively major stuff. I've had to spend most of my time and energy on said stuff, and there's been a lot of stress associated with that.

For...

Chance or Trance

The second of two stories tonight!

I've wanted to focus on stories that have a bit more of a focus on hypnosis over sex lately, and this is one of the ideas I had. I've read a few stories with hypnotic game shows (and seen a fair number of old cartoons with the same premise in an episode or two), so while this may not be an entirely new idea, it's definitely a classic!

Plus, given that the story takes place in a TV studio as a show is being recorded, I had to keep it cl...

Dea Ex Machina

Just to get this out of the way: I will be making a post later tonight (or possibly tomorrow) talking about why I've been scarce lately and what I'm going to be doing going forward.

With that in mind, here's my latest story!

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about robots lately. Robots and artificial intelligence. What makes a person a person? Can a computer be "alive?" Is it really femdom if it's a computer program brainwashing you instead of a live woman, given that one could ar...
