Some tiers changes, and other news !
🕑 Added 2024-08-08 14:30:57 +0000 UTCHello there !
Well, I decided to change a few things in the tiers, so let me explain what's new. Oh yeah, I'll also share some news after that, but I'll go straight to the point, so no long intros of me rambling !
Tiers changes :
So, at least six month have passed since I added a new tier, Bimbo Lover. The idea for it was to get people to share their idea of what could be nice for the pinups sets, and get people to vote on it. A fun opportunity for you to maybe get scene you'd like to see, and for me, some good ideas to exploit, and more income too.
Overall, the result is a bit mixed, with people often not having really idea (but hey, thanks for going on the higher tier to support me !), and in the end, me not doing the sets, since I ended up focusing on the update. While the sets are fun, they take quite some time for me to make, and end up taking time that could be used to add content in the game.
Because let's face it, that's why most of you are here, to support the game. And hey, it's my main project. And while the regular pinup pics are nice as collectibles, there's quite a lot of those, so adding more is not a priority.
Another thing that felt a bit weird was the Perveted Hero tier. Originally made just for those who wanted to support me a bit more, it was now stuck under a higher tier that provided additionnal rewards, and felt a bit lackluster (once again, thanks to all who joined it to support me more !)
Images aren't related, just to break the walls of texts
Now that I've explained how I felt about this, here's what's new, bringing what I hope will be an improvement :
- The suggestions for the pinup of the month have been moved to the Perverted Hero (20$) tier. It will only be a picture, and not a whole set.
So each month, each person on that tier (and in the Bimbo Lover (40$) tier) can send me a suggestion of a scene featuring some of my characters that they'd like to see. All of that month's suggestions will be added to a big monthly Pinup Poll, where every paying tier will be able to vote. I'll do the winning option as the monthly Pinup Pic, which will later be added as a art piece in the game.
- The Bimbo Lover (40$) tier will now get a monthly game scene suggestion. So yeah, instead of making a random set of pic, might as well make a cool scene for the game !
Like the I said in the previous point, each month you can send me the suggestion for one scene to be added in the game. Each suggestions of the month will be added in a Game Scene Poll, where people with the Warrior (5$) tier and higher can vote. The winner will be added into the next update !
IMPORTANT : I have the right to refuse your suggestion, and ask you for another. I'm not here to control everything, but there might be some things that are not fitting my universe, or maybe just some kinks that aren't for me. But we can talk about your ideas, I try to be always open for it !
Also, I removed the limitation of people in that tier. We'll see how it goes but I want the option to be open to everyone, and not have newcomers blocked out of the option because there's people already taking the slots ! The more, the merrier !
-Weighted votes.
As an additionnal reward for the higher tier (and also a way to incentivize people to join them ^^), your votes will now have more weight. I tried to still make it fair so lower tiers don't have any power on the vote. The voting powers are as follow :
-Peasant (2$) : x1, but they can only vote in the Pinup Polls, the don't have access to the other polls
-Warrior (5$) : x1, they, and all the tiers above them, have access to all the polls
-Eromancer (10$) : x2
-Perveted Hero (20$) : x3
-Bimbo Lover : (40$) : x4
Because the Patreon and Sub don't really have the option implemented (or not as I like), I'll do separate polls for each tiers, so you'll only see the result of people in the same tier as you. So on one hand, you'll have to wait for me to tell you who's the winner (which was already the case with the split on the multiple sites though). But on the other hand, it'll avoid the winning bias, where the option leading early tends to win even more.
And with that, we have all the new changes ! I hope you like these, I personally feel like they're a good mix with more rewards, more content for the game, more incentives to join the higher tiers, and without being too much more work for me.
The suggesstions for the pinup and scenes will start this month, so that the first polls can start next month.
Let's see how it'll go, and what ideas you have !
Look ! BOOBS !!!
Some other news :
Let's talk a bit about other various things here. If you're not interested in it, you can skip, there's nothing really important on that part. Just Screw rambling about what he's doing, how his life is going, etc...
What I did in July :
As I said after the release of 0.10, I wanted to take a bit of a break from the game, for some vacations, and work on something else a bit, to let me more time to think about what I'll add next, and also do something else for a bit. The first half of July have been basically holidays, with not much work on that front, except some promotion of the game and answering questions about it. And also opening coms. I also took a full week out, to go to a big event with friends, which was pretty cool. I came back with renewed motivation, and started working on coms.
I spent the rest of the month, and also the start of august, working on commissions. I've done almost all of those, just one I should finish this week. I'm really happy with that batch, really feel like I've progressed in my art style. I'll be posting the results starting tommorrow. I've also realized that I spent much more time than planned on those, specially on models. I don't mind it, because I want to give he best result possible, and I'm not here to rush it. But that means I'll have to raise the prices on the next batches.
Plans for August :
I'm gonna extend the break until the end of August, and come back to game development in September. I want to focus this month in learning Blender, which should help step up my art even more. I've talked a lot of times about it, but never really had much time to invest in it, so I'm kinda forcing myself to do it ^^ But the result should be worth it !!!
And hey, it's still the summer vacations, so I'll also take the opportunity to go out and see friends as much as I can, because they have more free time. The horny spirit is still strong though, so I'll probably do some art here and there !
I'm also taking the time to think of what to add to the game next. As you probably know, I've been talking about a big pool, giving options on what I'll focus on next ! Well, I'm gonna post it next week. So get ready for it !!!
Didn't you had another ongoing project ?
Yeah, the project with Serge3Dx. If you missed the infos, I was hired by a big 3d artist to help them make a NSFW game, him doing the art part, and myself on the game development. Well, basically when I decided to talk to you about it, he stopped sending me any news or direction for me to do. I've asked him about it, and he lost interest in the project, apparently not motivated to do art for it. He would only come back to this project as a creative director, with a full team under him. So yeah, project is dead for now. It's sad, could have been something really cool. Guess it means more time for me to focus on my own project. RIP game project, you had some potential.
And you, Screw, how are you doing ?
Honestly, I'm feeling great. I feel like I'm doing a Thirties crisis a few years in advances, but hey, not complaining in the end. I try to eat better food with a more balanced diet, go out more often, and often clean my place, so it's not a big pile of mess. Hell, I even started going to the gym (fun fact, I go to it with another NSFW artist, who happens to live 5min away form my place and have become a good friend). I've got a ton of motivation to make lewds, and I'm working on all the paperwork to officially declare myself as an artist (which means more taxes, but not live in fear of someone from the taxes knocking on my door).
One of my best friend, who helped me a lot in making the game, have been in some horrendous medical situations those last months, but he seems like he's starting to see the end of it, and I hope we'll soon be able to talk again. We've got a lot to catch up, and talk about the future.
So yeah, plenty of things going on the right way, and the future doesn't look to bad.
Relaxing is important.
Well, thanks for hear me ramble a bit, and I hope the new changes are to your likings ! I think it'll be nice to have a poll each month to decide what scene could be added to the game, as well as you sharing your suggestions for it ! Looking forward to see your suggestions !!!
TL,DR : The pinup suggestions have been moved to the 20$ tier, the 40$ can now make a monthly suggestions about a game scene, which will be voted. The polls are now weighted, the higher your tier, the more power you have. I'm taking a break from game development until september, worked on coms and now diving into Blender. Big pool for game direction next week. And I'm doing really good.
Thanks for all of your support, and get ready for what's coming ! Stay horny, stay awesome !
See you soon !

Thanks for the heads up and glad to hear that you're feeling well. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your vacation and the time you're able to spend with your friends. I also hope that the effort you plan to expend towards learning Blender bears fruit.
