EDIT: added a quick comparison pic, and opened the poll to all Patrons.
Alrighty-o, time to weigh some options about Bixxti's breast size, and run a poll.
As you might've noticed, Bixxti has gotten herself a little bust boost, and it's permanent.
She's struggling with the weight a bit, but Saedi has been coaching her in some strength training exercises she personally used for her own top-heaviness.
Overall, Bixxti doesn't really like the attention her new chest is getting he...
Been a while since I've done one of these, I think.
Money:
Overall doing fine, no major hits to the bank account since that car accident a while back.
Threw $40 into Dogecoin for giggles and now it's hovering at around $500-$600 in value. I'll probably wait forever to cash out, since I'm curious to how high it will/wont go, and $40 isn't heartbreaking if DOGE drops to 0.01c again or something, IDK, it's fun.
It's pretty interesting we're getting closer to the $100 threshold on ...
(EDIT: locked poll, made public.)
(Also I've gone ahead and made her wings purple and green, and given them a faux-feather texture.)
So, the tiny little hummingbird hybrid; she's got mechanical wings now, if you've noticed.
What color should they be? As for the metallic...ness of the wings, I'll play around with that as I go, whatever looks best
2021-04-10 16:35:10 +0000 UTC View PostLaela's libido is trashed right now and there's a temporary fix to get her to feel better, but how much of her libido should come back after all is said and done?
(Locked poll, then made public.)
2021-04-03 20:25:24 +0000 UTC View PostEh, I'll open this one to all patrons. If it ends up only getting like five votes, I'll make it totally public, I guess.
IRL's a bit busy lately, (a lot of appointments for my grandparents, including C19 vaccines, and probably getting my grandpa's hip replaced, too,) but I'll make do with what time I've got available.

My next updates on the 3D side of things are going to be yet ANOTHER update for Laela and Lyyona, both getting some tweaks and updates, including better shape keys.
Outside of them, I'm still being an indecisive butt about not picking who the next new character should be; I'm probably going to pick Bannri, the very busty bat (NOT a StH bat) hybrid who's like 90% human.

2021-01-30 10:13:53 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason, I've had a few uploads of my Twine game fail on the Mega folder; I've fixed all the uploads I can, the newest version is still updated properly, tho.
2021-01-24 05:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostBuried in the deepest nethers of my computer's hard drive, I found my old junk folder, full of a couple old animations, a ton of custom profile pics, and other stuff, so I threw it into my MEGA folder.
I wouldn't dare say it's worth it for someone to subscribe just to see it, but it's still a fun little folder.
2021-01-17 19:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostIn order from lewd, to not-lewd:
1. I'm almost done with Lyyona's model overhaul, but admittedly I've been distracted lately, so she's been sitting at about 95% for the past several days. She just needs one more basic shape key and that's it.
2. The next character to get a full overhaul, if anyone, would be Miira, since I'm getting kinda tired of fighting with her odd body. I'd swap her so her model defaults to a skinny look, but has shape keys to give her the big round body when ...
2021-01-08 09:33:40 +0000 UTC View PostObviously I plan to do both, but I want to use this poll to gauge interest on here, since I've both gained and lost a lot of Patrons over the last couple months (hovering at $69/mo, haha).
Don't view this as a deathmatch to decide who lives and who dies, it's just for gauging interest, and it might slightly affect which one I work on more.
Also I put "Twine game(s)" up there because I still plan to make a few more, just not any more open sandboxes, I plan for later projects to be ...

2020-12-26 22:24:30 +0000 UTC View PostI've mentioned it in a few places, but I'll say it here, too; I'm trying to get the game to 100k words before the end of the year.
v0.015.2 is JUST over 72k now, so I think I'm probably going to make it, unless IRL chews up too much time.
Anyway, if you haven't already noticed, I only really release the v0.013, 14, 15 versions on itch, while the xxx.1, xxx.2, etc are posted on my MEGA folder.
Why? Because as much as I don't want too much exclusive content behind patron tiers, I fe...
The last of the car damage costs have passed, and through your help, new and old, (and some IRL errand work) my bank account hasn't been reduced to rubble. It still hurts, but it's not a "holy crap, time to sell everything I own" situation, so thanks.
I think I'm still going to prefer walking over driving for a little while longer though, heh.

2020-12-09 05:48:10 +0000 UTC View PostGot them all on Mega now, go find them in my folder, or on dA and FA. As always, there's a bajillion shape keys to play with and most of the characters SHOULD do okay if someone converts them for VRChat or something.
2020-12-07 17:49:02 +0000 UTC View Post1. The game is going smoothly and I've decided that I wont actually bother putting any pics in there at all, at least not THIS game.
The thing with this one is that it involves characters I haven't made models for, so it'd be a lot of extra work modeling all these extra characters, and I figure that's probably not worth it.
So, yeah, Game #1 will probably be without pictures entirely.
That said, I thought it would be neat to make, say, a game #2 that's just you and Laela, then a game...

BUT I only really update the download there when there's been a substantial amount of new content added, usually around 3k words or so.

2020-11-03 23:27:45 +0000 UTC View PostIn no particular order:
1. The weeklong Halloween series is done, minus some epilogue/aftershock type stuff. Recap: Laela is fine, but exhausted. Onney is on life support.
2. The only *main* model left to upload is Miira (the Miltank). Her delays are mostly because I wanted to redo a bunch of things, then changed my mind, then changed my mind again. Will probably get her uploaded within a week.
3. I'll try to get another animation out some time within a week.

It's a pretty neat generator, it picks your animal species, tells you how elastic they are, how popular they are, etc. I slipped in a couple little joke results in there, but they're rare.

1. I'm working on Eila right now; I should've done Miira by now but I'm still undecided about a couple things. I might just say "to heck with it" and just leave things as-is, since she's honestly not that bad, I'm just being picky.
2. The Halloween finale is still on track and unchanged, though I'm taking a bit longer to move things along than I should.
3. Still got that cowgirl to finish; her body is practically done, but I'm unsatisfied with her hair, and she stil...
Long story short, I didn't see them, they didn't see me, crash.
Nobody was hurt, but our cars got some bad cosmetic damage and my door is pretty busted.
I'm poor as hell and these costs are going to hurt, so I'll have to shamelessly use this as an excuse to advertise the MEGA tier.
If you subscribe at the $5 tier, you get access to my MEGA folder, which has most of the animations I've ever made without Twitter/Youtube compression, and there's what I call my junk folder, whic...
2020-10-14 02:50:55 +0000 UTC View PostI don't know if anyone saw it yet, but I added a "junk" folder to the MEGA, where I drop any random pics and animations I might've dropped on Twitter late one night, or something dumb I didn't feel was worth posting, or something like I made four pics of one character and only uploaded one because I didn't feel like spamming, or whatever. I might toss janky older models in there, too, IDK.
Quality varies, of course.

Still working on those model updates, though I'm trying to prioritize that cowgirl model I've got sitting around. I chickened out and used Payya's old eye textures for her, but she'll probably need a new mouth from scratch.

It's not an emergency or anything, but my wrists are starting to develop CTS, which is making things a bit irritating. I might slow down a bit for a week or two so I can let my wrists rest, and see how they feel.

So far so good, everything is running well and there seems to be no problems, outside of the usual installation issues everyone has.
