Yttreia

(TL;DR: Uploaded the new prototype game.)

The new text game, it's not even close to being presentable, but I threw it into the MEGA folder, right there in the same spot as the previous CYOA.
What's in the game right now is mostly just some basic exploring, a start to a debug room, a bunch of scenes that are decidedly not lewd in any way, plus some info about the protagonist and her various issues. There's a little inflation, but the idea in the end will be that 100% of scenes will have a "fuck this, I'm done, where's the pump?" op...

Information + updates

(Man, Patreon keeps trying to make me do all these "whooaaa, get more followers by doing X, Y and Z" / "here's our new feature that guilt-trips people when they try to unsub, try now!" stuff, but screw that, this is a tip jar.)

Anyway, doing more IRL stuff, chopped down and cleaned up a tree by myself, even bought a $5 Chinese knockoff of a Japanese saw; it's so good I actually kinda want to buy a real one (assuming they don't cost TOO much, oof.)

Currently the only project I'm wo...

Polls done for now

The first one was about emojis in the text game, and you guys decided it's okay to start using emojis in it as long as it's not too overboard. You know, basic stuff like "wow~ ♥" and such.

The second poll didn't get as many votes, but it's about updating the new Onney's scarring, and the winner there was that her scarring should be toned down.
I did that with her model during a total texture redo, though I didn't tone it down a lot, I should probably shrink a couple scars on her to...

Onney scar tweak poll

I really should run more polls whenever I change/tweak character designs, tbh.

CYOA content poll

I was kinda wondering, how do you feel about if I were to use emojis in the text game as flavor?

Nothing TOO over the top, of course, so no 🍆🍆🍆🍆💦💧💦💧🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵👌👌👌👌👌👌 stuff, that drives me nuts.

Looking mostly in the direction of "wow, this pump's REALLY good... ♥" stuff.

Updated the CYOA text game

It's not like it's three years worth of content or anything, but I added a bit more to the game. Available on Itch and the MEGA folder as always. Even added in a really old request I had laying around.

EDIT: added a new alpha test to the folder.

Just thinking

I was thinking, this will probably always just be a basic tipjar with few/no actual benefits (other than the MEGA folder), unless I hit an IRL situation where I'm desperately clinging to every dollar I have (I mean, I'm poor IRL, but I hardly spend money either), or like, I decide I want to make this my full-time "career" rather than just the "screw around and do whatever for fun" thing I'm currently doing.

In the mean time, I might bring back the $5 tier polls (or like, $2? IDK) where ...

MEGA link updated (Nov 8, 2024)

It's been FOREVER since I've updated this (hopefully I did it right, ha.)

I'll probably aim to update this once every other month or something longer, IDK. I don't care THAT much about people keeping the link and unsubbing, but it's still good to give people a reason to come back and poke their heads into what I'm posting every now and then, keeps people familiar, you know?

Price is still a dollar a month with me eating all the fees (I think), so I can't imagine it's gonna put tha...

Updating the MEGA link soon

It's probably not necessary, but I'm updating the MEGA link soonish, probably some time this week if I remember. I'm still not gonna bother to update it every month like I "technically" should as a Patreon creator to "maximize profit" or whatever, but I'll at least aim to change it a couple times a year.

I mean really, I don't actually care if people share the link, (money would be nice, but I'm so thrifty IRL that unless my PC explodes, I don't care that much) this is really only ...

Been posting some content

Made some content on my Twitter, dA and FA just like old times. Currently doing requests there mostly, as I check my models to see if any are broken or busted from the hiatus.

Still can't really promise a long-term, full-throttle content treadmill, but eh, whatever I can get out works.

Also dang, Patreon keeps defaulting posts to being paid, let me know if anything but the MEGA links get paywalled out of nowhere, this is a tip jar!

Itch collection updated and renamed

I might not be making content right now, but other people are, so I've been working on improving my collection of Itch games all about bellies and expansion and such; I think there's gotta be at least a hundred games in there. Go check them out. Also I'm not sure if posting this link breaks Patreon ToS, so, uh, ehh?

Of course I mostly only add female content to it, I'm not testing games with dudes just to check if they're good or not.

Also DANG, Patreon autoselects a bunch ...

Apple user fee changes

I don't know how many Patreon patrons know this, but Patreon creators choose who eats the added cost from the new Apple fee.
This means creators either make 30% less from each sub or make each sub cost 30% more through the iOS Patreon app, which means nobody gains anything out of either situation.
Anyway, I picked the "creator makes 30% less, patron pays the same amount" option; it'd be super-duper scummy if I charged people extra for what basically amounts to a tip jar.

Regardles...

More life updates

Really not too much going on here, in terms of progress on anything fun, but it never hurts to point out I'm still in the land of the living. As always, this Patreon is just some silly tip jar with $1 access, and I haven't even changed the MEGA link in like a year so someone could easily just give the link away to share.

Anyway, same as always, "fun" at the beginning of the list, less-fun last:

1. ...

Update, info and all that

Same as always, more NSFW at the top, less NSFW towards the bottom:

1. Played WDC, it's a pretty cool game and the Patreon sub there is $2. It's basically a 3D idle game where you level up to unlock new floors of a tower, each floor has a different appeal, like one floor is a beach with women in bikinis, one is c-flation, one is Fantasy themed, one's about feet, one's about sci-fi and restraint...

Merry Christmas

Man, I hope you guys have some happy holidays, oof. Hug your families, respect who you've got, you never know when you'll lose someone.

Updates, starting from most to least fun:
1. Made a cardset for NSFW Solitaire, probably the best Solitaire game I've ever played: LINK I don't care so much for the actual lewd content of the game, but the card game optio...

Update:

Still nothing much going on, but I did play around with Bixxti some more (see my Twitter, I kinda spammed for an hour or two) and fiddled with my screen filter effect some more. I would still really like to do a once-over on all my characters and make sure all their models are updated and good, but I haven't been able to yet. Super cool to be messing around in Blender again, even if it's only for a bit.
Also tinkered with my model merges for AI stuff, but what I thought would be an easy up...

Added a couple more bots to c.ai

Someone requested a few bots on Twitter, so I added them as canon as I can, though I avoid details like the lab or the other characters so that people can just RP the chat however they want.

Annoyingly, there seems to be some kind of block on Laela, I've tried at least eight different ways to get her into the site, but it's not working, she gets shadowbanned immediately.

That said, I've got a couple bots on SpicyChat too, I'll probably make a Laela there eventually, even if SC isn...

Heads up

Yep, as expected, IRL's still being a nuisance, so I'm finally downgrading this to a tip jar.

It's already kinda been the case, but now it's officially permanently $1 to access the MEGA, that's it. Would set it to free, but anyone that knows Patreon well knows free galleries here have a tendency to cause issues.

Basically what's going on for a while now is that as you probably already know, my grandma that I take care of has slowly worsening dementia (she's still MOSTLY ...

Update:

As kinda expected, IRL's been a pain in the butt, my grandma that I caretake for, her dementia is being a real pain in the butt (just today, she took all the dirty silverware out of the sink and put them away, then argued that she totally cleaned them, despite half of them being covered in raw meat, cheese or oil and she swears up and down that rinsing them is 100% absolutely flawless with zero downside.

Yes, 3D's taken a big hit, I don't even know what I'll do when I eventually get bac...

Merry almost-Christmas

Here's hoping 2023 wont be such a pain in the patootie.

Updates:

As always, content-creation related stuff first, IRL stuff further down.

1. Bought and installed the new RAM sticks, finally switching to dual-channel like basically every other PC made in the last 20 years, ha. Still can't believe I've gone single-channel this long. Should mean most CPU-related stuff should run a bit smoother, and I'm less likely to run out of RAM since I have twice as much now. (I actually Bluescreened about a week or two ago when I opened Blender while Stable Diffusi...

Overall update post thingy:

(Most-relevant to least-relevant, as always)

1. Added the new SSD to my computer and went with a "slow-medium-fast" setup between the two internal drives and the external, instead of just moving everything to the fast drive, as I've noticed my hybrid hard drive I was chugging along with is a perfectly fine drive, it just CHOKES when it's more than like 75% full for some reason, despite the massive cache and the defragging. Still, I like this setup so far, but I'll have to move over some...

Current events

As you might've seen on my Twitter, I'm making a ton of Stable Diffusion art right now.

IRL's kinda chaotic as we basically had an impromptu family reunion out of nowhere and the whole process has been going on for the last week and will continue (albeit a bit slower) for the next week.
It's chaotic enough that I haven't really been able to open Blender to do any work, but the SD AI works great since I can get a prompt in there, leave to do some errands, and have my PC spit out a bun...

Switched to the new Patreon billing thing

No changes for anyone currently subbed, so you can probably ignore this, but for anyone NEW who subscribes, the billing cycle is now set to the day that you join.

Basically, if you join as a subscriber TODAY, you wont get charged a second time four days from now, the second charge will be a month from now, then two months, then three.
Nobody gets punished for wanting to sub later in a given month.

Purchases

My current computer chair is on its last legs (haha chair joke), so I'm buying a new one off Amazon.
They, uh, got more expensive than the last time I looked, oof.

Anyway, at some point soonish, I definitely need to buy an ACTUALLY GOOD hard drive; I finally found where my motherboard hides the m.2 slots, but I'm considering just buying a hybrid hard drive or two instead. Best case scenario, I buy three laptop hybrid hard drives (mainly because they're thin and cheap) and rubberband ...

New-ish AI image generator

Stable Diffusion went open-source a couple weeks ago, and more sites popped up to host it and offer memberships and whatever.

This mad scientist made a way to host it on your PC and not require a supercomputer.
I've been having some fun with it while IRL's been kinda busy and unpredictable, and posted a bunch of prompts from it in a few places on the internet whenever I find something good, including my MEGA folder.

Still, probably wouldn't recommend using it if you're under 4G...

Poll results

So yeah, as per the poll, Bixxti's hormonal/aphrodisiac problems will settle on her having an intense biological reaction to being inflated, somehow.

I'm not 100% sure yet if it should be entirely a biological reaction and she dislikes how lewd it makes her feel, or if it should be a full-blown thing where both her body and mind love it.
I kind of feel like the latter might overdo it a bit, that it's probably better if she remains a bit more reserved compared to the others.

Eit...

Prime Day deals, the stuff I got:

Picked up a new Echo Dot to replace my totaled old one, and got yet another new computer mouse, as this one's already starting to fall apart, and I've made the decision that I'm going to try out a wireless one for the first time in like 10 years.

I was eyeing other things instead, like maybe getting a new computer monitor (a higher-res one), or maybe a tablet, but nothing really SPOKE to me, no deal that absolutely punched me in the face and said "BUY ME NOW", you know? Eh, sales run al...

For giggles

Just for giggles, I'm going to start tossing in any NovelAI training models into my MEGA folder as I mess around with them.

Some time later this month, I'm going to buy extra NovelAI training steps (the $3 package) and make one huge model, as opposed to the 400ish steps one I'm currently playing around with.

Also yeah, major shoutout to NovelAI, I've played around with most of the text story generator things and this is definitely my favorite, especially since feeding it inflation...

Updated MEGA link (Jun 1)

It's been a while (six months?), figured I should update the link, heh.

Unrelated: life is a bit complicated lately, but still not too bad, could be worse. I hope you guys are having a great time surviving all the IRL stuff going on, or at least staying afloat, either way works.

Anyway, I'm still finding myself tossing random stuff into the MEGA folder every now and then, mostly stuff like images that are too big for FA, or a couple image sequences that I didn't end up needing and...
