I hope 2020 is treating you well. I've been working on the small side project I've been telling you about, and it's time to give you some more details about it.
A few months ago I found this author named Dantes , who's writing lewd stories. I liked his work and got in contact with him to send him my kudos for his quality work. We started chatting, one thing led to another, and we decided to do a little collaboration project together. We'll basically make one of his books into an illustrated novel. I provide the images, he does the writing (several chapters of the story are already published). There will be 20-30 images (full page images, and comics pages) per chapter, distributed among the text. You'll have to do some reading to get the full experience, but I'm trying to make sure the images well relatively well on their own as well (for those who don't like reading). For now it will be a in a PDF format, but I'm considering doing some Ren'Py package as well, similar to my other side projects.
You can check Dantes's work on his web site:
https://relatosdantes.com or Amazon
He's writing in Spanish, but he's slowly translating his work in English as well. He has a few ongoing books, releasing them in small chapters one at a time. There are 3 other authors writing smutty books on his site, but their work is only in Spanish. I personally use Google Translate to read them, and it does a decent enough job translating in English. If you want to check them out, the first chapter of each saga is free on his web site. The book we'll be working on is called Paola.
So, the couple above are Paola and her husband Juan Carlos. You know I don't like to spoil anything, but suffice to say that their marriage will go through a rough (and entertaining for us) patch. For those who want to know more, you can check the summary for the series here. There are 7 chapters in Spanish already released, at the moment only the first 2 are translated in English.
I'm working on Chapter 1 at the moment. The work goes a little slower because there are a few complex environments in it that a had to create. As well as characters and all that.
Making those is always fun. And I'll be using them in the game as well, with some cosmetic changes, of course.
No release date yet, I'll let you know when it's almost ready.
And speaking of the game, I made it available for $1 patrons. And I added a Spanish translation to the package (you can switch the language from the Preferences). It's a fan made translation, courtesy of Darax.
That's it for now. Stay well, and thanks for the support.

Good to hear, man!

Don't worry, the other projects are on hold. And this one will be worked on between the updates for the game. And it's only this first chapter that is taking a little longer, because it has a few different environments, and I didn't have them already for the game. But say if a future chapter is set up in a bar, I already have a couple of those in the game, so the work will be much faster. And usually Dantes's chapters are very focused. So it will not be much different than making a bonus image set, like the one with Jessica and the Cop. And working on the visual alone, without having to think of plot and script, really helps refresh my batteries.

Trust me, it is :)

As much as I'm a proponent of taking creative breaks with side projects (have done it myself), please try to limit your time away from JOHN - it's the principal reason we're subscribed. There is a risk that this Patreon can devolve into a plethora of small side projects, in lieu of one great work (which is Jess, of course)!

sounds naughty

No not release date. I meant storyline wise
stoperArt
Hints in regards of release window? I have no idea about that. For now I need to finish this work, and then we'll see how fast the progress on JOHN goes.

I'll make sure I give it a try, I love lewd CYOA books.

Oh ok. I was just wondering. The last update was great. Wanted to see where it went from there. Any hints on the next installment of JOHN?

I do some minor work, like preparing outfits and characters. But it's pretty much shelved for a couple of weeks.

I admit that I'm not a fan of "revenge cheating", but your graphics caught my attention. I'll definitely check it out. Speaking of erotica, I'm reading (and enjoying) a story called "Staying Faithful...?" on CHYOA. The author is cphi. I believe you may enjoy that one.
Linwood Willman
Just curious has JOHN been shelved for now or are you working on both simultaneously?
