News and various little things...
🕑 Added 2024-03-26 16:54:10 +0000 UTCHey there !!!
Well we're getting close to the end of the month, and while I hoped to have the update ready for it, which is not the case. So let's talk a bit about it, and about a ton of others things too. So yeah, let's not waste time, and dive directly into it !
Boobs 0.10 :
Let's begin with what you're all waiting the most, news about the update ! I initially hoped to have it done this month, but I'm late, as always. Although a good chunk have already be done, so you should expect it around the middle of April. I've slightly changed my scenes plans too. The reward scene with Ursula will be cut for the moment, and will be added in a later update.
This is because I've made a poll about a eventual redesign for her, and how it should be implemented ( find it here : https://www.patreon.com/posts/poll-ursulas-100668648 ).
For now, the leading option (across all platforms) is a slight redesign, but you can still vote and maybe change it. But since I'm gonna redesign her soon, I might as well wait to implement it and do the scene at this point, instead of just making a scene I'll have to redo in an update or two. Of course, I'll adapt my plans to fit this, but don't worry, you'll get your reward at some point !
Redesign test : Old vs New
Boobs 0.11 and beyond :
Since we're getting close to the release of 0.10, I want to talk about my plans for the next incoming versions. I've talked quite a bit about it, but I don't know if everyone know it, so let's say it once again !
The plan for 0.11, and the few update after is to focus on a big element of the game that will take me a few updates to implement and develop. But what is this element, I hear you ask ? Well, it'll be up to you to choose in a poll. I have various options (a village / add a pregnancy system / add more content to the camps / keep up with the main story), and I'll let you choose what I will focus on first ! An option winning doesn't mean the other won't be added, they will all end up in the game, but it's more about what I should work on first !
I'll make the poll once the 0.10 is realeased, and I'll take the opportunity to take a small break from the game and work on other things, like commissions and improving my 3D skills. Which this nicely bring us to our next part !
Blender :
I've talked about it for a while, I finally took some time to dive into Blender. I haven't made much, just the usual (but still very good) donut tutorial. With 0.10 being delayed and still being close to be done, I do'nt want to spend too much time there, but the break after it will be the perfect opportunity to dive more into it, and get used to it. I've already been able to port my models from DAZ to there (big thanks to all who helped me with this), so I'll be able to use it as a good complement to DAZ. It should help me improve many poses, props and probably animation too.
It'll also be a good opportunity to easily share my models, allowing others to use them without too much troubles. I have some collabs plans with that, I'll tell you more about it later. But overall, it'll allow plenty of new cool things !
Expanding my reach :
Let's face it, while not filling the fridge in itself, exposure is still really important. People need to know your stuff in order to support you. So I'm trying to reach more people, on more places. I'm already pretty active here (of course), on twitter (X, sorry), the discord (join it !) and f95zone. But last week, I've also took the time to set up a Itch.io page. It's working pretty well, with the game being downloaded more than 700 times in less than a week. So I'll post the new release there too, so don't hesitate to check it : https://screwthename1.itch.io/
I also want to start posting on rule34 and ehentai, but this require time and motivation that I don't have for the moment ^^' I'll try to do it after releasing 0.10.
If you know some site that could help share my work to more people, don't hesitate to tell me ! And if you're up to help me with posting in all those place, you're more than welcome ! Don't hesitate to contact me about all this !
A background I made for Itch. I really like it !
Subscribestar, Patreon and Boosty :
As you probably know, I'm using these three platforms as my main income source, and that's where you can support me. I've made a Boosty page recently, there's not a lot of people there, but I'll see how thigns go with it.
Today I wanted to talk about P-treon's new policies. You've probably heard about it, but they're once again adding stricter rules to limit NSFW content, which can affect almost any artist. And I don't think I'm an exception. I won't go into too much detail, but basically, I can get my P-treon account getting banned at any moment. I don't think I'll be first in line, but it'll probably happen eventually. So if you can, I'd recommand supporting me on susbcribestar instead, it's much safer for us, NSFW artists.
Also, a small note about all the people following me on the free tier on Patreon : sorry, I can't post NSFW content publicly (once again, against the guidelines), that's why I'm never making public posts (this one is a real exception). Once again, I'm recommanding to switching to subscribestar, I'm making public post from time to time. Or hey, you can also join a paying tier, get much more new and also help me make a living of this ! :D
But to sum up, Subscribestar is my main platform and they are much more okay with the content I make, so if you can, go there. I'm not really optimistic about my future (and the future of all nsfw artist) on P-treon.
You should be able to easily find the link to it, I can't share it directly :/
A bit about me :
Yes, this is the boring part where I talk a bit more about my life, sorry for that ! But hey, I think it's important to talk about all that. Up to you to read it or not !
It's now been a few month since I've quit my job and went full time on art. It feels great, and I want to thank you all for making this possible. I've lived those month chilling, but now I start to realize it also brings new obligations, and things I really need to start worrying about.
First of all, be declared as an official artist, and be recognized by the law. Because I don't really want to have goverment official knocking on my door for undeclared income. So I'm starting to fill all the paperwork and learn the appropriate way to do this, and pay taxes on my income. I'm really not a paperwork guy (not sure if there's people who like it, though), so it's stressing and taking quite some time. But it's important.
Another thing I'm starting to care more about is myself, and my health (physical and mental). With my job now consisting of spending my days on my chair in front of my PC, it's not a really good thing for the health, so I'm trying to do sport and move outside at least everyday, to avoid becoming a complete potato. And I'm also going out quite a bit to see friends and have social contact, because once again, just being on the PC all day doesn't help much with all that.
So with taking all that into account, I also need to find a good rythm of work and focus when I need. A big perk of this job (aside from being payed to make lewds, which is of course the best part) is that I can basically decide to stop working anytime I have something else coming or I feel tired. But I still need to make progress, and need to get a good work routine. So I'm slowly trying to balance all of these parts together. It's not easy, but I'm getting there !
Well, I think this should sum up all I had to tell, thanks for reading all of it ! Times are a bit messy, but I'll manage to make things straights soon ! And there's plenty of cool things to wait for ! So stay tuned !!!
Once again, thanks a lot to all of you for making this possible ! Stay awesome, and stay lewd ! Have some Blender donuts !
