Plans for 2024
🕑 Added 2024-01-02 13:35:33 +0000 UTCHello!
Before I talk about the plans for 2024, here's a summary of 2023:
1. March-30: HS Tutor 0.14.0
2. June-03: Solvalley School 3.5.0
3. June-25: Honeymoon Island Build 1
4. September-30: HS Tutor 0.15.0
5. December-22: Solvalley Christmass Special 2023
6. December-30: HS Tutor 0.16.0
There have been 6 updates this year, so on average every 2 months there is something for you guys to download, which I find acceptable. In my experience, 8 updates per year is the ideal number. Any more than that and the quality starts to drop and/or I start working too hard to be humanly healthy. Six updates isn't bad, but since I have several projects, it might leave some patrons unsatisfied... Anyway, my goal for 2024 will be between 6 and 8 updates.
Plans for 2024 in terms of content and games
I start the year today (day 2). The first thing I'm going to do is finish Solvalley School. The next update will be the last for this game, after that there will never be another update except to fix possible bugs and more serious errors. The Solvalley characters may appear again in special games, as happened with the 2023 Christmas special, but the main game will be closed for good. The content I plan to add to Solvalley will be detailed in the game's roadmap:

Note: the roadmap may be out of date when you click on it, but in the next few days all the intended scenes should be detailed on it.
As for HS Tutor, my plan is to start adding the first endings. The next update will be of Principal Angela and her daughter, which will be the last "normal" one, that introduces new characters. After that I'll focus on the harem mode, adding missing content for established characters (like the extra sex scenes with the teachers) and finally the endings. The first one will be Zoe's, of course. I still don't know what to do with the milfs, the options are: a normal ending for the daughter and an extended ending for the daughter + mother, but I haven't decided yet.
Finally, there's Honeymoon Island, which is an experimental project I'm doing with other technologies. The advantage is that I own all the copyrights to that game, all the images are 100% mine, and things like the audio I'm using are all really open. The intention is to have something parallel to my main games that I can monetize. The plan for 2024 is to buy a proper GPU for 3D rendering (probably a RTX3090 or similar) and work on that game to see if it has potential among you patrons and also possible new patrons. With the end of Solvalley, Honeymoon Island will serve as a side project to HS Tutor for a while, until I finally feel it's time to start the new game that will replace Solvalley School.
Resurrecting the $6 tier
Some may remember that the $3 tier was only for Solvalley, while the $6 tier was for all my other games, including HS Tutor. I changed that after I made a small mistake and realized that people were paying me $6 expecting new updates for House Arrest when that project was already finished. I felt responsible for not updating the description of the tiers, so to make up for my mistake, I made the $3 tier give access to everything, to appease people who might have felt cheated by me (luckily no one did).
My intention with 2024 is to revive the $6 tier, but of course this won't apply to HS Tutor, which will continue to be accessible from day one for the $3 tier and above. However, new projects will be behind the $6 tier for a few days to try to increase my funding here on Patreon a bit, as it's getting dangerously close to a value that no longer justifies all the time and effort I put into these games. For people who are short on cash but still want to pay me, either to help out or to have access to reliable virus-free links, just wait a few days after the games are released and they'll all be open to all tiers. For example, the latest version of HS Tutor, released on 12/31/2024, is now available to all patrons.
Well, I guess that's it. I don't know if I forgot to comment on anything important, but whatever. Here's a summary of this post:
1. 2023 had 6 updates, but I think 8 is the ideal number.
2. my goal for 2024 is between 6 and 8 updates
3. Solvalley will end in the next update
4. HS Tutor will have the ending scenes this year
5. Honeymoon Island will be updated to see if it has the potential to attract new patrons.
6. new projects will be behind the $6 tier, so I can try to increase my Patreon income
That's it! I'm going to start reading all the suggestions for scenes from the last update of Solvalley and prepare the roadmap for the final version of the game.
Bye!

Yeah, that game is quite different for some "strategic" reasons.

What was the suggestion?

I enjoyed Solvalley and HS Tutor, but I didn't really like Honeymoon Island. However, I wish the best for you and am looking more forward to your next big project.

Honestly even if I'm here for Solvalley and the next game, you deliver more than I would have ever expected and I don't think you should worry about being too slow or anything like that. Considering how much I liked the updates and how you've been wanting to finish that game for a long time now, having updates at all has been a blessing. I gave my little suggestion for one Solvalley scene on F95 but I don't know if you read everything over there, I'll link it to you later by MP here. You'll see if it fits the game.
