UPDATES ON A TINY WAY TO LIVE MY LIFE (A MUST READ)
🕑 Added 2023-07-20 19:19:11 +0000 UTCI’ve had issues:
Just as a little introduction I would like to explain why updates has been pushed back a bunch of times. I’ve multiple times written full scenes out, but when I look to see if I’ve had images that fit, I’ve come up empty or not satisfied with the result, leading to scrapping and delaying scenes many times. I’ve now figured out a solution which you can read in the “art” section of this post.
Schedule: My new goal is to write and create images for 1 scene per week, aiming for 3-4 scenes each month. This should give me 1 week to work on any changes/issues which I’ve previously missed, or if I get time add 1 scene, meaning each month you will get 3-4 scenes.
Release Schedule: I’ve been all over the place with release dates these past months. The original plan was to release each new update every 1st of the month, this will however change to 31st of each month. Public release will be once every 3 months, meaning next release for public version is 31.10.23, then it will be released each month as usual, but will be 3 versions behind the Tiny Swallowed patreon tier release. Tiny in Mouth will be released 2 months before public release (1 version behind Tiny Swallowed tier), and Tiny Swallowed will be released 3 months before public release (Tiny Swallowed will always have the most current version).
Updates to Patreon tiers: Each tier will remain the same price as before, however what’s included in each tier is gonna change slightly.
Tiny Tipper: This tier is the basic “tip” tier and is just for people who wants to tip.
Tiny in Mouth: This tier will give you access to voting for scenes, scenarios, characters, and story as well as where my focus should be in development. I plan to release a bunch more consistent polls, at least once per month. This will also give you full access to each version of the game 2 months before public release. (Access to new version every other month, public release version 0.11, Tiny in Mouth release 0.13, Tiny Swallowed release 0.14)
Tiny Swallowed: This tier will give you access to voting for scenes, scenarios, characters, and story as well as where my focus should be in development. I plan to release a bunch more consistent polls, at least once per month. This tier will give you full access to each version of the game 3 months before public release. (Access to new version every month, public release version 0.11, Tiny in Mouth release 0.13, Tiny Swallowed release 0.14) This tier will give you access to progress photo’s for up coming scenes and teasers.
Tiny Digested: This tier will give you access to voting for scenes, scenarios, characters, and story as well as where my focus should be in development. I plan to release a bunch more consistent polls, at least once per month. This tier will give you full access to each version of the game 3 months before public release. This tier will give you access to progress photos for upcoming scenes and teasers. (No additional reward here now, just for people who want to support more)
Art: I’ve had difficulty making scenes recently due to the lack of custom art I’ve been able to use. Everyone loves having some visual aid with the written material, so I’ve come up with a solution. I’ve spent some time looking into Koikatsu Studio, many probably know the art from the new game “The Minimum Project” which has been released recently by Intervention (Check his work out btw, looking great so far!). With this studio I will be able to make custom art for more unique scenes, other than just still 1 photo which has been slightly altered in GIMP.
Polls: I plan to release at least 1 poll each month were patrons gets to vote on scenes, characters, story and where my focus should be.
After this post goes live, I will release a few public polls just to get some feedback on some stuff I’ve had in mind with the art and such.
Discord and Patreon: I plan to still use both discord and patreon, I’ve had my focus on using discord for the most part, but I plan to release a lot more progress updates directly on patreon from now on, information should be equally accessible on discord and on patreon.
There will also be some changes to discord, I will delete some channels, organize a little, add some bots to fix the custom roles and so on. Expect to see more rooms where you can only read notes.
New fetishes: I’ve learned these past few months that I’m not as opposed to including other kinks surrounding vore as well. I will post a few polls to see what people might want to see added for future scenes, making no promises that what people vote will be added, but I will consider and try it. For people who don’t enjoy other stuff, no worries, there will be ways to get out before entering such scenes, might add a warning for more niece things, we shall see.
Dating aspect of game: A few months ago, I started working on fleshing out the characters a bit in the preparation for adding a dating element to the game, I have however altered this plan. The new plan is to continue the game as is, with the story and a bunch of scenes scattered throughout.
However, I do intend on finishing “A Tiny Way To Live My Life” at some point (not for a long time, story has barely started), this means I will be making a new game which could be a dating simulator of characters you’ve met in the original game, just scattered throughout the big city map for example. This is not decided yet, just an idea.
Will probably do a poll at some point to see if the interest is there for a dating simulator with the characters I’ve made.
Animations: I have no experience in this area yet, but with Koikatsu Studio I should be able to make some simple animations which may be added to the game if I feel it’s good enough.
Other information:
Version 0.11 will be released to the public today 20.07, then 3 months wait for public release.
Version 0.12 will be released sometime today for Tiny Swallowed Tier 20.07!
Some polls will also be released sometime today 20.07!
I’ve looked through my game and I realize something. I was quite bad at RPG Maker when I first started, which if you have checked the game files you will probably notice. A lot of things are more complicated than it needs to be. I’m going to take some time each month to go back to previous stuff and change/fix stuff.
(If there’s something I’ve missed in this update, or something that you want to have addressed, please just comment on discord, send me a message, or comment on Ekas Portal)
(All of this will take effect from 31.07.2023, if you don’t like the changes to your tier, you should unsubscribe before that date as to not get charged.)
