The Side Gig (Part 2) - Upper Class Release

Royalty Tier Members, you have your own post, with the release of The Side Gig: Third Belt (Part 2).

This, of course, means that the second installment (2 of 4 currently) now moves to be accessible for Upper Tier members. The second chapter of the story introduced Tammy, Sam's best friend...who finds out about what Sam has been doing as a Side Gig.

The Side Gig - The Third Belt (Part 2)

Alright! Sorry this is coming so late in the month, everyone. The needs of the various stuff for the polls this month (samples for the art, samples for the CEO character, etc) have eaten into my time far more than I'm really happy with. But, at least it's still on time! 

This is also the second to last story for The Side Gig. Given the premise of this story, there's simply not much more I can do with the series without additional Chastity Belt assets for Genesis 8 that...don't exis...

September Royalty Tier Wallpapers

Sorry these are out so late in the month, folks! They were actually ready for most of the month and are only being released so late because they sort of got lost in the chaos. Regardless, as usual, there are attachments for the most common resolutions plus a no text version! 

Also note, the comic is done and will be up within the next couple of hours!

Progress Report + Poll Results

Alright! Poll results first since it was pretty one-sided. Photoreal won the poll for the art style with about a 80/20 split. I'd like to say I'm surprised...but I'm not. The oil paint style just wasn't good enough, despite my best efforts. However, for those that were hoping for something different, all is not lost. While Photoreal with be the primary style of the game while in development, I'm hoping to continue working on a better alternate art style method, which I would release ...

Left Hand Magic Art Style - Poll

Alright! This has been waaayyy too delayed. The truth is I had a lot more trouble than I'd hoped in getting a consistent application of anything but photoreal results. As is, I'm not entirely happy with the alternative style option, as I couldn't quite get the more anime/comic style I was going for to be replicable across all of the test images. Which, given that there will be hundreds of images in the game eventually, wasn't a good sign. Instead, what I had to settle for was a digital oil pa...

Progress Report

Alright! I'm actually almost ready for the next poll. As it, it should be going up within the next couple of hours at most. However, since I realized I was overdue for a progress report, I wanted to throw one up before I did that. 

Haven's Port:

Things have been going reasonably well, I have the renders for 13 scenes completed, with a 14th scene half done (it should be done tonight, easily). While I haven't regained the lost time from the wardrobe and new-hou...

Progress Report + Poll Results

Alright, I should have put this up yesterday...but frankly I've been both busy and not feeling well. A combination which is only made worse by me being a few days behind schedule. Which is also why I haven't put up the new set of polls yet. I'm not happy with the art style samples I've managed so far -_-. Hopefully, I'll manage to get those polls up tomorrow. As it is, the results of the Futa or Not To Futa poll and the CEO skin tone polls are pretty straightforward.

In the case of the ...

To Futa or Not to Futa

Alright, folks! This is the more important poll I'm posting for this round. (Other Poll is Here). And the title pretty much sums it up. I want to know if you lot want to see Futa content in the upcoming new game Left Hand Magic. Now, a trio of quick points...

CEO Skin Tone Poll

Alright! This is by far the less important of the two polls going up today. Though, since I want as much feedback as possible, it's also the one that is public! It regards the following image(Sorry, Patreon is stupid, I can't add images to a poll post):

Progress Report

Alright! To be honest, between the bug fix for Chastity Quest, some issues with a specific mod contributor wanting a more detailed credit for said game, and the delayed short story...I haven't gotten much done yet on this month's stuff. As such, the only real progress report I have is for Haven's Port. As seen in the attached render, I have at least, managed to get started on the renders for this month's build, though I'm only about 1.5 scenes in at this point. I should have the seco...

Alright, I did one of these last month...and I think I kinda need to do another one now, since there are so many things being juggled at the moment. First and foremost, my apologies for not warning everyone that Andrea of the Silver Key (Part 4) would be delayed. I mentioned that it might be, but I never outright said it would be. Unfortunately, I didn't even get it started until tonight, though I already had an outline for it, at least. Most of which I threw out once I started writing on it,...

Holy shit, Chastity Quest is...done? I mean, it's still uploading (sorry guys, not going to be available until tomorrow, since I want to get multiple download options up first). But, I mean...it's done done. Like, aside from any bug fixes, I've completely 100% finished the game. A game which may actually set a record for the number of sex scenes in any graphical game. Not sure on that, and I'm not making any claims about quality, but in all the many adult games I've played over the y...

Side Gig - The Third Belt (Royalty Release)

Whew! Finally done! This is a day later than I had planned, due to having a bad reaction to a new medication I was recently put on. Nothing serious, I just felt awful for a couple of days, and swapped a few things around to give me easier (less focus required) days until I felt better. I'm actually done with nearly all the Chastity Question editing as a result, so things are still on track, they just got shuffled from my originally planned order.

Anyway, as for the actual comic/mixed m...

August Wallpapers for Royalty Tier

So...I actually meant to post these yesterday, but I got distracted working on all the other things I'm juggling. Oops. Wellll...at any rate...I've continued on the theme of doing wallpapers of a single Major Character each month. I admit, I was tempted to leave this to the end of the month and try to make a Chastity Quest wallpaper once I could risk fiddling with the settings used by the modded copy of Skyrim that game uses for assets. Ultimately, I decided against it simply because putting ...
