0.46 Coming Soon
🕑 Added 2022-04-18 19:07:35 +0000 UTCHi, perverts! I'm hopeful to get the new Ruin Me release out this week, but my time estimation on the game is a skill I'm still building. Back on April 2nd I posted on Twitter that I expected to get the release out that upcoming week, but as you can tell it's now two weeks later. Here's the current state of things!
Attached to this post is a shot of my work-in-progress on the Meg redraw. Obviously, it's unfinished; the clothing isn't shaded yet, only some of the moods and arm poses are done, and I haven't worked on the genital options yet. Still, I'm really liking the progress on it! I included a shot of Meg's current look for comparison. I've greatly improved the outfit design, although folks in the know will spot the liberties I've taken with it. Proper saris are one piece of fabric with a special pattern, but Meg's clearly got one with two different textiles. Presumably she's gotten creative while making her own.
The new horror expedition, The Abstruse Synergy, is up to 7000 words. I've ended up getting more wordy on these over the years. A comparable early expedition, The Mica Sign, is 4500 words or so in total, and there are probably another 1000 words left to write in this upcoming one, putting this on par with some of the longer ones. It's all outlined; I'm just continuing to plug away at the writing.
Personally, I've had a rough time lately. My lifelong bad posture and lack of exercise has caught up with me, resulting in a neck and back problem I've had for a month or so. I'm working to stretch it out and build up strength and flexibility, but it's still a mild distraction. Additionally, I've been mourning a family pet who finally completed a full and happy life. The stress and sleep problems from all of that definitely contributed to my lower-than-hoped-for work pace on this release. I've been doing my best to take the long view and making sure to relax and care for myself so I don't have a worse burnout.
I'm still so grateful for all the support y'all have given me and I'm looking forward to getting this release out to you soon!
