News and Progress Report
Hey, friends! Hope all's well with you and yours this week! The big news this week is that I finished a new

over the weekend, and made it available to $15+ patrons. It's still missing one ero scene with Risa, and a smattering of renders here and there, but it's quite playable at the moment. That's the good news.
The bad news is that, as time's dragged on, I've had to adjust my expectations for Chapter 9. The render count's already gotten quite large, and the word count is around 55,000. For comparison's sake, Google tells me most novels are between 70k and 110k words.. >_> So, I'm cutting the last two scenes I planned for this update, and doing them as their own, smaller update. That means that Chapter 9 will have content for Risa, Pepper, and Alex, and next update will focus on Mason, Viola, and Gabby.
The
other good news is that, as a consequence of this, I'm going to be pushing my planned hiatus back a few months. With a good bit of Mason and Gabby's scenes written, I'm planning to finish the content I still need for Risa, do a chapter ending, and then get right into rendering the Mason and Gabby scenes, for what'll be Chapter 10.
That means Chapter 9 will be out this month, and then I'm going to aim to have Chapter 10 out in late July or early August, followed by my month-long hiatus. So, no big gaps in the schedule, just yet.
Obviously I'm not super happy about having to cut my planned content short, and I don't expect you to be, either. But, it's the only way I can really give everything the attention it requires, while still putting out timely updates. For now, I'm going to keep rendering out the content I need for Chapter 9, while I finish the scripts for Chapter 10. Onward and upward.
Oh, also -- I got hit with a note from Patreon to edit some content from one of the Wanton Weekends posts. So, that was fun. First one in two years! @_@
Neon's Comic Recommendation
I really need a pithier name for this section..
Anyway, as some people may know, the Gumroad platform recently banned all adult work - comics, games, audio files, etc. Which was a pretty big blow to the community of adult-oriented creators that had, in large part, built that place. Like, the first thing I ever bought from Gumroad was the smutty comics anthology, Smut Peddler, by

So, before the Eropocalypse happened, I raced over to Gumroad to download any adult-focused stuff I'd purchased from there. I'd hate to see that stuff just vanish into the digital ether. As I was doing this, I stumbled across this comic,

. I'd bought it and just never gotten around to reading it.
Bad, Neon. Financially irresponsible!
The story's.. Well, it gets you where you need to go. A renowned space marine/imperialist genocide machine is captured by her lizard-alien foes, and a bit of a cultural exchange ensues. >_> Like Starship Troopers, with even more nudity. It's fun, a little silly, and pretty sexy. But, it's the art that's the start of the show here, and agh! It's just gorgeous.
Some of you might know that, before Daz Studio took over my life, I was a half-decent digital artist. So, I have a special appreciation for well-drawn comic art.
The coloring that deftly balances flats and more rendered, painterly tones. The artful line breaks and color holds. The depth of field blurs that give everything such
depth!
If it seems like your cup of tea, go give it a look!
Standard Disclaimer: I'm not paid to promote these things, I just love comics and I think it makes for some good content besides my usual, "Hey, still working, still doing the thing.."

That's all for me, today! I missed this weekend's Wanton Weekends feature, owing to exhaustion and too few hours in the day, but I'm going to try to get it together for Wednesday. A little Wanton Wednesday action? Why not!
As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
This games never end, unless they are crap games or they are within the precious few good ones that could.
