Extra Content Week 37: Beloved 5860

Hello Beloved Backers!

We continue with part 2 of the Beloved series. There's one more after this. Cover art by Studio Kosen!

We're working hard on preparing Monster Ops for launch next month. So much to do!! I'm trying to get several scripts ready in advance. Episodes 1 is ready to go. Episode 2 may need a few more tweaks. Episode 3 is written and I'm editing it.

As for art, we have a few things:

Oni Onsen: Rising From The Ashes

Life has been breathed back into the onsen, so we're determined to save this game!

Balasque in Monster Ops!

Hello Beloved Patrons!

We're on schedule to get out the first episode of Monster Ops in July! The ep 1 script is finalized (and it's so fucking good!). We're working on the art now.

Balasque from Monster Lover 1 (also launching in July on Steam and Itch) is part of the special ops team. We have the final neutral sprite for him!

Video Forecast - Monster Ops/XXX Wrestling

I made a video with a few possible scenarios on how the new venture here on Patreon and Subscribe Star could go. Man, I hope it's a success.

I don't want this video on YouTube or Vimeo, so I uploaded it here as an attachment. Hopefully that works.

Basically, 2,000 subscribers (the total of both Patreon and Subscribe Star) by the end of 2025 would put us in great shape to continue the serials long-term. Anything more than that is fantastic, but 550 subscribers is the absolute mi...

Monster Ops Pre-Launch

Thanks to all our regular Patrons, and those of you who have backed us this month for the future Monster Ops serial.  

As I've told you, we won't have your Episode Zero until July.  However, since so many of you showed up, I want to give you something!  So here's some dev chat.

Monster Ops came about when I got a submission from a really good and experienced adult ga...

Extra Content Week 28: Vampire Slave 3

Hello Beautiful Patrons,

First, we continue with the Vampire Slave series upon which the visual novel was sort of based. (If you compare and contrast you'll notice we cleaned up some stupid shit for the vn.) Since there's a lot of important info in this post, I'm allowing all tiers to see this.

Work on Orc Covenant will continue throughout 2024. The base game will be launched sometime between June and October, but work will continue until the end of the year as we finish addi...

The Future of Kickstarters and This Patreon

Hello Beloved Patrons,

So, it should be pretty clear by now that the Kickstarter for Oni Onsen was a failure.  

I'm sorry I can't fulfil rewards for you. The game is canceled (more on that in a bit) and I will not be making the rewards.

Please keep what I post here confidential. This is insider information for you insiders.

I really thought this Kickstarter had everything we needed to be successful. It's an AMAZING game. Beautifully w...

Momo Beta Live for Dear Monster!

Hi Beautiful Patrons!

The Momo Beta is now live on Steam for beta-backers ($150+).  This one was tricky, and we'd really appreciate feedback on it.  Imbriss and Hikmat set very high bars.  We worked our hardest to get Momo to live up to that.  We need to know from backers if we hit the mark.

When you work on something for a long time you become unable to *see* it.  We need fresh eyes to give us constructive criticism here.  Please guys.  Just mes...

Hardcore Cruising Taurus Route Beta Live!

Hi Awesome Patrons!

If you're a bara backer with an active account with a balance of $100 or higher, you've just been sent a message with a beta code for Hardcore Cruising!  

If you didn't want this, don't worry.  I'm too disorganized to deduct digital rewards from your balances.  I just want to see that you've reached the minimum for the reward and are still actively supporting me.  (For physical rewards, and shipping, I must deduct from your balance, however....

Kickstarter Drama

I have good news and I have bad news.  First the bad news:

We didn't make the Hardcore Cruising Kickstarter.  The goal was too high.  We're trying again, but I've had to scale it down to a much smaller campaign.

The problem was: Kickstarter rejected our original campaign.  We had to revise it so it was much tamer than the game was.  We lost a ton of marketability.  Secondly, we had a new campaign way too soon after Vampire Slave.  This was my fa...

Hardcore Cruising Kickstarter Commences!

Hello Awesome Patrons!

Our Kickstarter for Hardcore Cruising is here, but I'd like to link you through the Y Press Games page.  Kickstarter rejected our first draft of the project, so we have a much tamer trailer and description than what the game really is.  See it in all it's full naughty glory 2021-09-09 03:24:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Vampire Slave Kickstarter Might Fail

Things are looking pretty grim for the Vampire Slave Kickstarter.  We need close to $4000 and only have 8 days left.  We've accepted the possibility that this one might end up being a failure.  http://kck.st/35KdE2y

If we don't get funded we will not be trying again.  Chapter 2 will come out in August or September...
