Thank you for giving us some variety in looks. The standard models used in most games have become so boring.

Hey guys.
Slow progress this week. On one hand, I did get part of this scene written that I've been having horrible writer's block for. On the other hand, the .duf (Daz file) is really awful to work with. This is the one I custom ordered and it's massive (700 to 800 MB) so everything is slow and Daz stops working for about ten minutes when I save the scene. At the moment it has caused a bug that has actually stopped my Daz client from even opening so I'm trying to resolve that. But we're gonna get there.
That's my sad report for this week. Thank you for your support.

Nowhere in particular. Some scenes/concepts are inspired by certain things. Like the criminal case the MC prosecutes was partially inspired by (but factually very different from) a case on which I was a juror. But for the most part the story comes from the random, dark corners of my sick mind.

It's great that you're making some positive use of all that sick shit!

I can't recall but I think there are moments where it might be silent here and there but it isn't silent the entire time

Hey guys.
It's been a very busy week and I haven't had a lot of time to work on the game. Family keeps visiting for extended trips, which means I usually go to my job during the day and spend time with them at night. I thought I finally had a weekend to myself but today another sibling's family showed up unexpectedly after forgetting to tell us they were coming into town for a few days. My elderly father always appreciates the visits but honestly though I get along with my family it is exhausting, and "sorry I can't spend time with you because I am behind on developing my porn game" isn't really going to fly.
I could really use a couple of weeks off of work and with no family obligations to focus on the game. But the next time I get to take off work is the beginning of August and that's to attend an out-of-state multi-day family gathering. I swear to god I'm retiring early and moving to the worst, most undesirable place in the world so no one will ever want to visit. Where do you guys think that is?
Thank you for your support.

You know, when I was growing up, my family encouraged us to journal. Yes, I'm using "journal" as a verb. Some bullshit about posterity having a record of our lives, or something. I think there was maybe a year or two where I actually followed through with that. When I was nine, and then again when I was 19. Of course, that was before the internet, or certainly before social media, when some people put every second of their pathetic lives up on the internet for everyone to admire and to be remembered forever. Had a meal you liked? Photo uploaded, everybody will know about it. Saw a funny meme? Reposted, likes acquired. No need for people to journal now--everything you do is being captured by social media anyway. (I'm going to sound like a judgmental dick, but I really do think that level of intentional exposure is a little bit pathetic, particularly for a man. But that's not really my point.)
This may not come as a surprise, but in my real life identity, I have no social media. No Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or whatever the kids are doing these days. As the Impious Monk, I do have Patreon/SS, Discord, F95, Reddit, but that's all limited to my identity as a game developer. Why am I telling you this? Truthfully, full disclosure, because I'm drunk and I don't know what else to write.
But my point is that I don't always know what to write in these journals. I've committed to posting them every week, but do I really have something interesting to say every single week? Should I just spit out any random shit that comes into my head? That's basically what I'm doing now. If you do go back through the journals, there actually is a whole bunch of shit about my development process. Some of it is actually really fucking good. But I can't come up with that bullshit every single week. And some weeks my journal entries are boring. Like this one. God damn this is some weird-assed shit.
I know some other devs get around this by posting simple render/script updates every week. E.g. 50% of the renders, are done, etc. I respect that, but honestly I can't do that because I never have any fucking idea how long my updates are going to be. And lately I think I have been honest that I have been struggling to match my production rate from previous episodes, so there probably isn't really much more for me to tell you guys other than, "I'm working on it. It will be done eventually."
Okay, like I said, I'm drunk, so hopefully this shit made sense. Anyway, you guys are awesome. If there has been one consistent thing about the last three years it's that my Patreon/SS supporters have been really fucking supportive. I'll be sad when I push this shit off the cliff.
On that note, reminder, this is my last month taking payments on Patreon or SubscribeStar. Although I depublished all of my support tiers months ago, I'm still even up to this weekend still getting people making custom pledges (it turns out I can't do anything about that). I think these people may not realize that I am shutting down my monthly support apparatus when they send me money. If this is you, and you just subbed this weekend, I am really sorry, but this is all going away.

See kids? This is what alcohol does to a person - it makes you honest!
I already bought my copy of the game on Steam, but I am both saddened & glad that Impious Monk is too honourable to keep raking in that subscriber money for something that won't be done in half a decade at least.

This sounds like the drunk honesty that you don't regret once you've sobered up.

True, I missed an opportunity to be a lot more interesting. "Today I'm going to tell you about the time I played spin the bottle with my sisters."

Mom, aunt, cousin, grandmother--you know the drill.Is that the time your mother also gate-crashed the game?
Yeah, I know. Several of them shared a photo of your 12-inch dong [I'm really playing up the AVN cliches/tropes, aren't I?]
