Progress Report

Alright, I'm going to try and keep this short and simple (though I'm bad at that). There's really only two things to cover.

The Third Game Concept

Honestly? This is ready and I could post it right now. However, since it would be buried quickly by the Build 10 Haven's Port release posts, I kinda don't want to do that. Expect to see it on the 2nd, roughly. The 3rd at the latest, I should think. 

Haven's Port Build 10

I've gotten 14/...

Old Reward Archive Updated

As I've released a new short story to all $3+ patrons, I've also updated the Old Rewards Archive with a previous exclusive. This time, it was Part 7 of Mass Effect: Final Error! Go check it out if you haven't had a chance.

Also, don't miss the Progress Report post I did this morning, as it's been a ...

Short Story - Station 11 (Part 2)

As promised earlier today  in my progress report post, I'm posting the second short story for the month! Note that, while I titled this as Station 11 (Part 2) in the post title for clarity sake...this series has been renamed. Originally, Station 11 was a one-shot, and the title referred to the specific space station that Tara and Lana had stopped over on. As that station will not feature in any...

Progress Report

Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence...I've actually been out of town. I kinda got guilt-tripped into visiting family, though it was a good trip for all that I hadn't originally intended to go. Thankfully, I was able to both push to get ahead enough (I had all but like three renders done for Haven's Port before I left) and able to get at least the short story done at my hotel. Since Haven's Port and the Station 11 short are the only things left for this month, I'm not going to break them...

New Game Concept 2 - The Starship Promise

Salutations all! Time for the second of three concepts that could be chosen (by Patron voting) for the game to replace Chastity Quest (which should be ending after next month). It took a bit longer than I'd hoped to get this up, mostly on account of trying to get a different looking art style. You'll note that I attached both the results of that experimentation, plus the original photoreal renders (which is what Haven's Port uses). Which style to go with for this particular game would be some...

Starworld (Part 3) - $10 Patron Release

With the release of Side Gig (Part 2) for Royalty Tier patrons, it's also time for one of the previous Royalty Tier exclusives to be released for Upper Class patrons as well! In this case, the comic in question is Starworld (Part 3). Both PDF and Zip file versions are attached. The Zip file also contains the original renders (without text)!

July $20 Comic Reward - Side Gig (Part 2)

Hello all...no, you aren't going crazy. This is just a redo of the previous post, as in my sleep-deprived state, I didn't include any of the usual teaser images -_-. And I also forgot to include the zip file with the original renders for people who want them. Oops and double oops. Anyway, I'll be deleting the original, so here's the actual post contents from it:

-----Original Post Content------

Alright, this is up a day and a half later than I'd hoped. In partial part because I'm ...

Progress Report + Poll Results

First! A reminder! The first of three possible new game concepts was outlined in the Previous Post. Make sure you take a look! I'm currently working on the sample renders for the second such, with hopes of posting that within the next couple of days. I'm doing some experimentation to see if I can get a different art style while still using Daz renders, which is why I'm still working on it.

No...

New Game Concept 1 - Wayfarer Station

Alright, everyone! Time to start revealing the trio of New Game concepts I have for everyone to choose between. While this one bears a similar name to a previous concept, the concept is very different, so please give it your full consideration :-).

One note of warning! Everything involved with this description is extremely early concept stuff and subject to change. You will, in fact, note that some bits aren't even fully defined. This is on account of the fact ...

Old Reward Archive - Updated

With the release of the second half of The Academy Maid Service: Maid Lyn for $3+ patrons, it's time for another of the previous exclusives to be added to the Old Rewards Archive for All Patrons. In a nice case of synchronization, the story entering the archive this time is, in point of fact, the first half of the same ...

July Short Story Reward - Academy Maid Service (Part 2)

Alright! As any of you who acutally read my post last month with the first half of this story should know...The Academy Maid Service: Maid Lyn was an existing working of mine, published under the Jaylee Coglin penname which I share with another author. This particular work was entirely written by me and only edited by the other author, so I decided to release it here as a way to help me catch up and get some breathing room. This was particularly important as I'm working on a few extr...

July Wallpapers

Ack! I know I said I was going to put these up last night...and in truth I meant to. Unfortunately, I got into a long, slogging argument with the Daz3d software, which is refusing to render the Chastity Tester(Part 2) stuff without hanging halfway through >_<. Amidst my distraction, I forgot to post these T-T. Anyway, they are here now...and I'll go ahead and post the first story reward later, as well. Rewards for all that way, even if these are just for you amazing Royalty Tier members...

Progress Report + Poll Results

Alright! I'm actually going to make two posts today, but since I've not made a Progress Report post since the 6th, I'm going to do that first. I'll put the Wallpapers for Royalty Tier folks up later. Then, sometime tomorrow, I'll likely put up either the second half of Academy Maid Service: Maid Lyn or the first New Game Concept, not sure which. Whichever one I don't put up tomorrow will go up a couple of days later. Don't want to flood the Patreon with too many posts all at once, since I act...

July Short Story Reward Poll

Alright, this is later into the month than I'd like. As such, I'm going to run it for 6 days instead of the usual seven. But, honestly, people rarely vote past the first couple anyway, so I doubt that really matters. Anyway, Galactic Nomad returns as an option this month, which means the conclusion might well already be known. But, Final Error or Silver Key could manage an upset, so maybe not! Anyway, this month's options are...

Mass Effect - Final Error: Last time, She...

Old Rewards Archive Updated

Alright! With the release of Mass Effect: Final Error for $3+ Patrons, it's also time to update the Old Rewards Archive...with more than one work? Apparently, sometime recently, I forgot to add a work to the archive when I released something new. As a result, I'm adding them both now. Specifically, 2021-07-07 23:58:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Mass Effect: Final Error (Part 7)

Alright folks, as I say all to often when it comes to the Story Rewards...sorry this is late :-(. Still, it's a pretty good size, clocking in at almost 8,900 words, so hopefully you'll forgive me....

As always, story is attached as a PDF, and you can find the start of the new stuff by searching "End of Part 6" without the quotes. Also, if you're curious why it ends where it does...I intend for the winner of the little wager at the end of Part 7 to be decided by a vote ;-). 

Progress Report - Various

Alright! Hope those of you in the U.S.A had a good Holiday weekend! Now for our first progress update for the month!

First and foremost, the update of Mass Effect: Final Error, should be up sometime tomorrow. I'm sorry it's even later than usual this time. The holiday, added to the fact that I always try to make Final Error longer than other works, made things slip a bit more. The writing is done though, clocking in around 8600 words. I just need to give it a good editing pass tomorrow ...

Comic Poll - July

Okay! I probably should have put this up at the same time as the Focus Poll, but I honestly have been kinda pulled in a dozen directions and hadn't taken the time to figure out what I actually wanted to do here. 

The simple truth is that the experiment I did last month was hugely less stressful on me! This means I'd really like to continue doing stories in that format. However, I won't say no, at least for now, if people want to see either Starworld or Cyberworld continued. I won't...

July - Haven's Port Focus Poll

Alright! Honestly,  Iprobably should have put this up a few days ago, but got overwhelmed with all the release and rewards stuff. Thankfully, I don't actually need to know the results immediately this month. The reason for this is that this poll is shifting gears from the last two focus polls. We've hit a point where I really need to actually build up other locations on the Main Island, instead of just adding more and more depth to the Brothel. As such, the primary focus on this build is...

June Wallpaper Reward

First, I'm sorry this is two days late :-(. Second...I'm also sorry that I chickened out on making a Chastity Quest wallpaper set T-T. And yes, it was a case of me chickening out. Specifically, of chickening out of playing with the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files for the copy of Skyrim Chastity Quest uses. I only capture in 2k res (which then get's downgraded to 1080p), so I would have needed to uptick the resolution of the game in order to get 4K images for wallpapers...

...and un...
