Hey, hey folks! Hope you're all doing well this week!
I had some maybe-tornadoes in my neck of the woods a few days ago, but I don't think anything touched down. Got some nasty wind and storms, which kept causing power surges. Not fun! But, thanks to a lot of chiding from some of you when I last complained about losing power (and half-completed work), I finally purchased one of those neat uninterruptible power supply units, and was able to work unmolested. Eat it, Mother Nature!
Work on Chapter 1's remake continues unabated, and I'm still optimistic about having it done before month's end. Feeling the crunch though! I'll work right up to the buzzer, as per usual. Up top you'll see two small variations on the initial Nicki hangout scene - one where she gets unexpectedly cozy with our hard-luck hero, and another where she's a bit more standoffish.
(God, I really do love those checkered stockings on her. "Excellent choice, Neon." "Gee, thanks, other Neon.")
Also! In January I released a teaser for Chapter 11, showing how our scrappy protagonist gets out of the jam he found himself in at the end of Chapter 10. This month, I'll be making that available for the Friend from Work and Acquaintance tiers to play before I make people redo their saves for the new Chapter 1. So, come what may, everyone will have some new content to play.
As a small bonus, I've attached some Brittani pics I made, which were originally going to be part of a Wanton Weekends set for the past weekend. But as I was working, I couldn't shake this feeling like: "This is really some low effort work." So I scrapped the idea - I'd always rather put out nothing than put out junk. But don't worry, I'll get something else up for this weekend.
After sitting with these images for a while, I did started thinking about the scene in the game where we look at Britt's off-brand Instagram and see photos from her vacation to Europe with Isabella and her wicked step-dude. Got me thinking there might be a fun text story there. I'll kick that around and come back to it.
Also of note, I got a weird influx of supporters in the past week across a few of my platforms. Not sure why, but I suspect a pirate site put up the Blue Valentine short and led people here? If so, welcome! There are webcam scenes in the main game too, so check those out and have a blast. And yes, I know I could look at the analytics and see where traffic is coming from, but in my experience, looking up my work online and reading not-so-good-natured critiques from the anonymous commentariat is a good way to make me mope around my house for a week. Gift horses, mouths, etc.
Alright, I'll leave you with that for today! But as always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
