Sadistic Dreamer Audio: First Annual Production Update...thing
🕑 Added 2025-01-06 03:28:15 +0000 UTC(Every single one of these updates is going to have a new name and be the first of its kind, get used to it.)
It's been a minute since I slowed down and talked about WTF am I even doing? I'm choosing to see that as a good thing, I'm doing more walk than talk lately.
But, I also don't have a lot of stuff ready to show at the moment. December was a month of seeding. Therefore, now's as good a time as any to bounce you all on my lap, knee, or any appendage of your choice, and let Papa Bug tell you all a story.
I was gonna reveal what's in store at D23 this year, but I have yet to get a response for my lifetime ban appeal. If I make this a bulleted list, will it go by faster? Maybe, let's see.
- Bone Us 5: The Careerist and an audio of Issue 5: Kyra. Not shocking as they're the ones with the most progress according to our regularly updated production schedule here, and I'm working on the former, it's nearly done, and the latter's been assembled and won't be a challenge. Moving on...
- Issue 8: Bombshells. Another Kiza/Yuki adventure by SkyFantasy! About 9 pages, shorter than "the Auction". Much like Issue 2 it was written as an audio before I realized that it played better with visuals. The side bonus is that I got the chance to define the AGF's aesthetic, not as another white and gray Human military entity, but something with more popping colors. I pay a lot of tribute to my comic influences in this one (rest assured, it's built around smut, and it spans many pages).
- A comic of Episode 3 with an artist new to our family, but who's no stranger to manga styles. I know a lot of you want to see this story visualized in SkyFantasy's style, but once you see their style, you'll understand why it had to be them. Their artsheet for Yuki more than earned them their placement with such an important episode.
- A new Harem Girl art. Or two? The idea has sort of taken on two different lives that've become two separate characters entirely. One is part of a new race who fulfill a niche we (shockingly) haven't capitalized on all that much. But there's always new worlds to conquer (Alexander, don't weep). Her working name is Topaz and she is adorable with a story I started writing last night. We'll get to her first. The other girl is a character Satanya's been wanting to do for a while, and possibly makes use of a voice Kitten's been wanting to use for some time.
That's just stuff that was halfway in the works last month. But how have I changed? And more importantly how does it change all this? I've got stuff to share.
In my last written update, I talked about how I had pretty much marathoned these scripts now. I'm in the rotation of writing the second drafts of those things I've begun in October. Three months is kind of the magic number for revision, seeing things with a fresh set of eyes.
2023 in my eyes was a year for experimentation. Audios that varied in tone and kink. For this year, the theme in my eyes will be balance. In already having a crop of written episodes, long and short, full length, Bone Uses, and POVs, to choose from, I can stack the deck to make sure a darker episode is followed by something lighter, or a harem-themed episode sandwiching a sexy bounty hunting story, a POV for a character we haven't seen in a while sandwiching pretty Yuki-centric material, etc. In recognizing places I succeeded last year, and things I could've improved on, I march forward with revisions with these things in heart to achieve the best story, the best kink, all of it.
Something else I've gone over in the Discord a month back. I've mentioned my desire to share unproduced scripts. Unrealized episodes I've reworked beyond recognition or retired completely in favor of the 18 others we've got going, as well as previews for my writing for other things I have in the works for myself or for clients (and God knows when those will be done, so it'll be nice just to go "Hey! Get excited about something a collaborator is making this year!"). But those plans are now on hold.
While I still intend to share them, it may not be as cut and dry as I'd hoped. Because I've noticed a pattern lately, and it's made me reluctant to share plans that aren't right around the corner, even ideas that I'm not pursuing anymore. Pointing to release dates, letting constant similarities in output or writing with odd timing speaks for itself. However, it won't be as easy for me to draw a line as I have before if I'm keeping the content here, especially if they're not seeing the light of day soon or at all.
That reality check took the wind out of my sails and set back a lot of my plans for sharing raw creative materials or my long-term plans on here outside the vaguest terms.
Anyway, I try to look on the brigth side of this. I have a lot of ideas, I'll talk about them when they're close, that way you all don't have to wait too long. Balanced expectations.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy Episode 8, now on all podcast platforms.
Stay naughty.
- S.D.
