What's up with Tlaero?

Hey everyone, Tlaero here.

In the states we have these big box home improvement stores where they sell everything from lumber to tools to light fixtures.  And, if you look around at the store employees, you'll realize that a large number of them are people who retired from their day jobs, got bored, and took a part time job to pass the time.

I can relate.

I still have a day job, one that's quite consuming, but I did retire from my secondary job of writing erotic games. ...

Weeklie #150

Hello guys!

Lazy Turtle won again with his  "After a hard day's work, Elsa needed to blow off some steam." 

That was Elsa's December. Let's hope there will be more months with her. 

Elsa's Nightmare has been uploaded on F95zone and it has had some... interesting comments. I guess many people didn't know Elsa and even less knew me. Not that I am expecting they would know me, no, it's just that they don't know my tastes regarding Elsa, or perhaps mo...

Elsa's Nightmares

Hey everyone, Tlaero here. Although I'm retired, I still care a lot about Mortze and never stopped paying attention to this place. I fully understand why people have left and bear no ill will toward them, but the steady decline in patrons has made me concerned for him. I seriously appreciate those of you who have stayed. Thank you.

Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for the decline has been the lack of new content over the months. Mortze is hard at work on his SW game, but I think he needs...

Post from iksanabot

Hi everyone, this is iksanabot.

I know I’ve been silent for a while. Mortze and I made quite a bit of progress on SOL episode 1 in the weeks after the introduction came out, but then as summer ended I became completely swamped with my regular work, and progress ground to a halt. It’s not dead. I’m still very motivated to tell this story, and I love Mortze’s images and can’t wait to see them embedded in this game. I usually work on this stuff in spurts, and I fully...

Weekly #144 and a guest appearance

Hey everyone, T here.  Mortze is out this week, and he asked me to post the weekly for him.  I decided to make this post "public" because I hadn't spoken to any of you in a while.

First, last week's caption contest.  Anyone who knows me and my "heterosexual but" tendencies won't be surprised that I'm picking Lazy Turtle's, "Stay on my tail, flyboy!"  Indeed.   Flygirl as well...  I'd say that the only real negative wi...

Weeklie #143 + SW game teaser pics

Hello everyone.

This time I'll make a public post, including the weeklie for next week, to avoid post spams in everyone's email box. I hope the higher tiers won't mind. 

Last week we had a battlefield weeklie picture and I particularly liked the short but powerful caption from Mugwump "What have I become." Well done.

This week I'm posting a weeklie picture of the SW game because I've worked a lot of the pictures the last two weeks. I'll be away for the next couple of we...

Weeklie #136

Hello fellows!

Lazy Turtle got the last weeklie caption with a simple but fierce  "A little fight in ya... I like that."

This week we have an Alien themed picture (again). I'm not sure if I've already posted this one. Let me know if I did. I really like what the picture says. I also like the lighting contrast. Can you come up with some great words to go with it?

I've been advancing in the pictures with SW. I even made the title (menu) picture. Tlaero really liked it. Sh...

Update on the SW game.

Hey guys,

I skipped last week's update, sorry about that. 

I've been working on the SW game and did 100+ pics this week. Today I codded them and figured out how to put an animation in the game. That wasn't easy.

We don't have a weeklie's winner because there weren't any caption for the last one.

This week I decided not to put a weeklie and do an update with pictures.

This is the layout of the game, the interface. I really liked that one and felt that it fit ...

Update on the project (instead of weeklie)

Hello guys,

Last week I gave a weeklie that was in fact a picture from the personal Ren'Py project I am making. I really liked  Swampchampion " She's got lines like a classic Corellian cargo freighter, but don't let that fool you.  This ride's straight from Bespin.  It may not look like much, but every collector knows a true Calrissian always has something hidden up its sleeve." Good one!

Weeklie #127

Hi guys, 

Last week we had a Brazilian themed pictures and I liked the captions you came up with. I chose Acheron's  "Exhausted, the couple danced to a more sensual tune, ending a night at a "Cavalera Conspiracy" concert. " because of the Cavalera Conspiracy reference. You can never be wrong mentioning a great Metal band. It was sort of out of the spirit of the picture but still. Well done.

This week we'll have an Anju picture. What sort of inspired captions will you cam...

Won: Darkness Within

I'm still retired, but I found that I just couldn't leave Won's background story untold.  And, for whatever reason, writing text-only stories feels less "cheaty" than doing ones with images.

So I wrote a new short story in the Darkness Falls canon.  This takes place after DF Ep 7, (which is available to the public now if you missed it).  Unlike the other DF stories, this one is in Won's viewpoint.  And, of course, it doesn't have any pictures.  I've inc...

The Science of Lust - project

Hello guys,

iksanabot and I are ready to release what we've been working on for the last weeks.

Teaser pics for the new game

Hello friends.

iksanabot and I have been working on the new game, quite intensely. The start of a game is always intense; you have to create almost everything from scratch. 

We hope to pack it up soon to hear your opinion about it's merits (and faults). 

Until then, here are 6 pictures of what we've done so far. The first picture, on the top, will be the title picture. 

Cheers,

Mortze

Here's what next.

Hi there!

I've been giving much thought about what the next immediate projects should be. I've consulted with Tlaero, took into consideration what iksanabot would prefer and had a reading of your opinions both in the comments and on the poll results. 

It's clear that just one patron desires furries, incest and futanari, so perhaps let's discard that for the moment. Sorry.

The majority - barely half of the votes - goes into making the new game with iks...

Thank You

I wanted to make one last post to thank all of you for the outpouring of support over the last week. It's meant a ton to me. The next time I'm feeling down, for whatever reason, I'm going to go back and reread those wonderful comments. It'll be impossible to stay sad while doing so.

I'm leaving you in good hands. Iksanabot is a friend of mine, and I'm a fan of his work. Even when doing games about temptation and cheating, he's always provided a full, first cl...

Introducing the new writer (and coder).

Folks, the person that approached me has been in talk with me in the past days and we're very enthusiastic of what lies ahead. Here's a text he wrote to introduce himself to you. 

This doesn't invalidate the poll I'll run tomorrow. 

Sorry for the avalanche of posts, I know it bothers many to have their email get invaded with our communications, but I believe the right policy is to keep you - the patrons - as informed as possible, specially in important times like these.&...

A few (not really) words about Tlaero's living.

Dear friends,

It's been 48 hours, give or take, since Tlaero made the announcement that she won't be Tlaero anymore, that she's leaving this life as a writer and programmer, that she was leaving Tora Productions. I wanted to give time for her post to be seen by everyone before posting myself here about this. 

For understandable personal reasons she had to think about this and make a decision in a very very short time, surprising us all. She did it because s...

The end of "Tlaero"

It is with a very heavy heart that I make this announcement. If you've read my AMA's here, you know that I've essentially been living a double life for all the time that I've been making these games.  It started out very innocently with me looking at a naked animation after my spouse had gone to bed. And it grew and grew into this large endeavor that I've been pouring my time and passion into. When things change gradually, those changes are often hard to see.

Recently, something ca...

Weekly #116 part 1

I've decided to do something a little different with this week's image.  A month ago, Mortze sent me this picture and asked if I could tell who it was.  Then he sent me the non-silhouette version, which has a really cool paint effect on it.  So, I'm going to do the same thing.  We'll start with this image and make it available to everyone.  Then, later in the week, I'll post part 2 with the other version limited to $5 patrons.  You can post captions on either par...

Winner of the Weekly #115 caption contest

This week we had Serena lounging naked by the pool in a hanging chair.  

My favorite caption came from SquirrelyOne

"I may not be dead, but I can see heaven from here."

Nice one, Squirrely!

Tlaero

Winner of the Weekly #114 caption contest

This week for the dawn of spring we had Keeley in full glory heading to the shower.  For the second week in a row, my favorite caption came from Eiderdown Productions with:

"Do these mirrors make me look fat?"

Normally, if your wife or girlfriend asked you something like that, the only workable answer is to just run away.  In this case, though, you could probably get away with saying, "I'm sorry, did you say something?  I'm ... distracted."...

Winner of the Weekly #113 caption contest

This week we had the answer to the question, "What was Tlaero talking about last week?"

I thought for sure that LT's "Stop, Hammertime!" would win, but then Eiderdown Productions posted the brilliant:

"Don't move, Puddin'. I'm with Mortze now."

And the rest was history...

Nice job, Eldormain!

Tlaero

Winner of the Weekly #112 caption contest

This week we had really impressive renditions of two actresses from the Suicide Squad movie.  When Mortze first sent me the image, he asked if I could tell who they were, but I could see the filename, so that was kind of cheating on my part.  Still, you folks couldn't cheat, and you got it too.  Nice job!

My favorite caption came from Zilath with the simple but effective:

"Naked Squad"

Good job, Zilath!  That's your first win, is...

Winner of the Weekly #111 caption contest

This week we had Jannike from Darkness Falls sitting mostly uncovered in a windowsill while it rains outside.  My favorite caption came from Eiderdown Productions with a Bob Marley quote.

"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet."

I especially liked the double entendre that, I suspect, Marley didn't intend.  Nice job Eldermain!

AMA3: Mortze - following on Tlaero's AMA

Did you guys ever envision the success you've had? 

I most certainly wished to be successful. At first I just wanted to prove myself that I could make 3D renderings, and in my mind there were certainly much stories I'd love to tell. My goal wasn't to make this my principal occupation. Any success I was wishing for was a recognition that I could produce nice pictures that people would enjoy. When this became my job then yeah, the desire to be more...

AMA3: Tlaero

Time for another round of answers to the questions you folks have asked.

Did you guys ever envision the success you've had? 

I got into this because there were some things about the way others were doing it that I didn't like. Did I think I could improve on what they were doing? Yes. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have started. But, did I think I'd have over a million people play my games? No. Not in my wildest dreams.

Winner of the Weekly #110 caption contest

This week we had eight naked ladies cleaning up in the Tora productions locker room.  My favorite quote was from SquirrelyOne, where he described a tour of the studio.  But it was too long for a caption.  So I went with my close second favorite: Chaucer73's

"Aren't you a little ... hot for stormtroopers?"

Nice work, both of you!

Tlaero

Winner of the Weekly #109 caption contest

This week we had Mortze's very cool take on Game of Thrones.  Chaucer73 felt that his caption entry was tacky, but given the people in the image, it seemed perfectly appropriate to me.

"Closer kin ... deeper in!"

Nice job, Chaucer!

Tlaero

Winner of the Weekly #108 caption contest

This week we went back to Star Wars, with a robed Kylo looking at a completely disrobed Rey.  There were good captions, but the hands down best came from Lazy Turtle with:

"I'd rather not do this right now."

Welcome back to the winner's circle, LT!

Tlaero

Winner of the Weekly #107 caption contest

This week I was feeling nostalgic and posted a dream worthy pin-up picture of Elsa.  There were a lot of good captions, but the one that went straight to my feeling of nostalgia came from Eiderdown Productions:

"The woman was in my dream again."

Nice one, Eldormain!
