Quickie Update [14/8/2024]
🕑 Added 2024-08-14 15:49:03 +0000 UTCHey folks! Hope you had fun with that super difficult game I made. Or perhaps it was too easy for you? ;)
Let's go over what I'm up to:
Apple is demanding Patreon change how pledges work, or Patreon risks being removed from the Apple store entirely. As such, Subscription Billing will be mandatory from November onwards. I previously polled you about switching to Subscription billing, and you voted for No, which I honoured and kept things as they are. However, I now have no choice but to switch, and have already done so (all creators will also be switched by default in November).
If you pledged before this week, NOTHING will change, you will be charged on the 1st of the month. However, all new patrons will no longer be charged on the 1st of the month, but every 30 days on the day they pledged. Again, unless you delete your pledge or you pledge on the 1st of the month, YOU WILL STILL BE CHARGED ON THE 1ST. I highly recommend Apple users pledge via a different method than the App store, or you will be charged 30% on top of your pledge. Not my fault, blame Apple. If you don't use an Apple device, this does not affect you.
I would apologise, but this isn't mine or Patreon's fault, but Apple's, so blame them. Watch this video from Patreon's CEO for some more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-LoTH3PzgM
With Incontraception v1.0 done, I've moved onto Sumireko Ogawa's Patreon Deluxe. The Deluxe will contain pregnancy sex, birth and expansion...and maybe a combination of all three? We shall see if that's possible, so don't get too excited...
The 2B animation I helped write with Lusty has been posted, and what a fantastic animation it is! Drawing on my knowledge of the game's melancholic plot (I've platinum'ed it—twice!), the story is a mixture of comedy but bittersweet pregnancy shenanigans. If it makes you sad, then blame me (although Lusty did say she wanted it to be sad...so blame her XD).
It features impregnation sex (mating press style!), pregnancy sex, belly rubs and birth, all of your daily pregnancy nutritional needs. If you want to watch it, then consider pledging to her!

Once the Sumireko Deluxe is finished, I may do a quickie illustration. This time, I will do it in my animation software instead of drawing it by hand. It just looks better, in my opinion. When other people draw by hand, it looks great, but when I do it, I don't feel satisfied with it. But who will I draw? I will consult the folder of submitted characters and draw someone who never got to win a poll but was suggested often. Should be a fun surprise!
After that, I'll make a proper Patreon Deluxe for Incontraception. I'll likely skip the game and just make some nice scenes, like impregnation sex (with size options) and birth (also with size options). Those will complete the entire project nicely, as every part of the pregnancy process is covered.
Once that's done, I'll begin work on my next Dim OC animation project. This time, it will be a series, like the old days of Denial and Babysitter—one character, short episodes, wrapped up with a Deluxe. Should be fun to revisit the old format, no?
That's about it for now. Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have any questions. TTFN!

Birth won't be in every project, but I'll definitely do it when it feels right

Love that you're bringing birth back to your newer projects, Dim! Good luck on all your endeavors! I also watched Lusty's animation and the story was amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Apple does not own Patreon, but as it is their App store they make the rules, and they do not like Patreon's other subscription systems. And as a lot of users pay through Apple, Patreon can't risk losing a huge audience by not bowing to Apple's demands.

Wow man that just...sucks in a way. I didn't even knew that Patreon was owned by Apple but I guess not surprising given big corporations are owning everything and making changes.
