Siren Song - Progress Report 5/31/25


It's been about a month since my last progress report. Things haven't been that great. My mom passed away about a week ago. While I am heartbroken to have lost her, I have to remind myself that she was suffering a lot, and that it is good to know she is finally at peace and with my dad at last.


As you can probably imagine, everything was put on hold for a while leading up to this point. Well, I wanted to let you know that I will soon resume my work on Siren Song and New Year's Day(e).


My time away has actually been helpful in a way. I was saying to a friend just a few minutes ago that while my mom was sick, I felt like I was just going through the motions, building this chapter of Siren Song like I was mindlessly producing something on an assembly line. Now that everything is over, I feel like I've found my voice again. I've gained perspective. I can finally get inside my characters' hearts and minds again. I am really looking forward to returning to this story and getting lost in their adventures.


Anyway, that's about it. I'll send out a good update on my progress soon. I can't wait.


Thanks again to everyone for your patience, love, and support, especially during this difficult time.


Love y'all,


~ Jonesy

So very, very sorry about your Mom, Jonesy. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Take your time on your projects buddy, we can wait. Focus on yourself, that's what's most important after all. And just remember, you've got a slew of loyal fans rooting for you.

Take care of you, first. My condolences, but welcome back.

Take care, take your time and let it embrace you especially in this sad moment.

Hey Everyone,


Sorry for not posting for so long. It has been a rough few months.


The gist without the drama:


Development on Siren Song hit a pause at the end of May and has currently resumed. I will keep you all posted on the progress. I’ll give you an estimated release date as soon as I’m able to judge my rate of progress.


I have been dabbling in prose writing (non-visual novel) and posting a story, “The DLG Club,” to

You must be registered to see the links

. This is just a fun little side project that uses the characters from Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day(e). It’s not really meant to be canon. It’s more like the old Marvel “What If” comics. It’s about “What If” six months later, Eve formed a club that taught other girls how to have fun with their Daddies, too. My writing is admittedly pretty mediocre (at best) in chapter 1, but it gets a little better as the chapters go on. I may do a VN version of it at a later date. Check it out if you like.





The drama: (It’s a bummer, so don’t read below here if you don’t want to be bummed)


My mom passed away at the end of May. It was a good thing in the end. She was very sick for a very long time. While it was a relief for her, it was devastating to me and my brother. I thought I would be okay, but I guess losing her kicked my ass in ways I never imagined. To make matters worse, I just lost my dad a little over a year ago, so I kinda got a pretty bad one-two punch. His passing didn’t help make things easier for my mom while she was still here, or for me and my brother now that she's gone.


I say all this not to gain your pity, just your understanding that stuff has been really difficult for me, and I just haven’t felt connected to Charlie or Bobby the same way I was while my mom was still alive. That is beginning to change now. I am starting to feel that pull again. I am finally back at work. I am finally coming out of the surreal haze I found myself in for a couple of months.


The DLG story has been very cathartic. If you read it, you’ll understand why. Some of the scenes in there aren’t subtle. It served as a vessel/sandbox/laboratory for me to sort out my emotions and figure things out. (I know, writing a porn story in order to heal is a bit weird, but if you read it, you’ll see it’s more than just a Penthouse Forum letter.)


Anyway, I can’t wait to see Charlie’s smiling face again as she experiences life on tour. I miss those days, and I have so much fun seeing her learn all the lessons I did.


Until next time, hug those close to you, because none of us make it out of here alive!


Love y’all.

Sorry to hear things have been so rough for you and your brother but hope things are looking up for you both.

Also don't worry about sorting through emotion from the game, we all find healing wherever we can so if it helps, it helps.

Hi Again!


I wanted to pop in and give you guys a quick update. There’s good news and bad news. Bad news first.


I have been trying and trying to figure out how to pick up where I left off with Siren Song back in April or whenever it was, and nothing seemed to be working. It all felt weirdly forced. The storyline that had made such sense to me then felt weak, or out of touch. I remembered it seeming so deep and fitting back then, though, so I kept trying.


Then, I read through the last part of chapter 2 and then straight into what I had of chapter 3, and the problem became clear.


What I had done sucked ass.


The direction I had taken things in was just…bad. It was boring, aloof, and straight up weird in parts. I think I was trying to “put you into the mindset of being on tour”. That’s cool and all, but the truth is, when I was on tour, we had LOTS of downtime. And yeah, we were bored a LOT. If that was what I was trying to capture, I nailed it! It was just Bobby and Charlotte walking around, hanging out. Wow. Super fun.





Anyway, I had to take it back pretty far and redo a lot of dialogue, change Charlotte’s outfit (from skanky to cute), and redirect the story as a whole. I didn’t have to scrap too much, just the boring parts, so it’s not a complete do-over. After I release chapter 3, I’ll let you know what my original trajectory was (spoiler alert: it sucked).

The good news:


I am now back on track and really excited about the new and improved direction this story is taking. Yes, there’s still a bit of them walking around and hanging out, but it’s more engaging and fun and less of an info dump/commentary on the DIY punk scene of the '90s and early aughts (AKA “Back in my day…”).


So, that’s where I am, for better or worse. I’m sorry this isn’t going any faster. I am optimistic that it will be worth the wait. FWIW, here is the "skanky" Charlotte (left) vs "cute" Charlotte (right), just to give you some perspective on the difference (It’s mostly a different top and hair):





To me, she just looks more "Charlotte-y" now. I hope you guys agree with my change!

Okay. See ya next time!

Love y'all,

~ Jonesy

Thank you Jonsey for the frank and thoughtful insights. They make sense to me, and should add flexibility and directions to Ch3 forward ... which I for one, eagerly await.
I spend a lot of time around youth, and consider that so many 'entertainers' adapting hooker, ethnic, protest trends have influenced our kids into weird concepts of 'stylish!'
My Mom had a long, full life, and I became wise enough to express my thanks for many, many years in as many ways as possible ... and I miss her every day since she left.

Siren Song - Progress Report 9/19/25


Hey All!


Just giving y'all a heads up on Siren Song. It seems too good to be true, but I think I'm back, baby!


For the first time in a really long time, I feel good about creating an AVN. The renders are turning out really well, I feel like I'm making good choices storywise, and the scenes are coming together better than I thought they would. I still don't know when I'll be done with this chapter, but I can confidently say it will be done before the end of November. The sooner the better!


I am about 40% done with the writing, renders and coding. I still have a lot to do, and I still need to go back and make some corrections to chapter 2. I also want to place real songs into the previous chapters as well.


It's going to be really good. I hope it's worth the wait!


Drive safe!


~ Jonesy





Look at her! Goddamn adorable!

Siren Song - Progress Report 10/4/25



Hey Guys!





I’m trying to keep my updates to more or less bi-weekly…or is it semi-weekly? Whatever…every two weeks!


Things are going well. I am having a lot of fun. Charlotte is on an emotional rollercoaster in this chapter, and so is Bobby, for that matter.


We finally get to meet Vikki Vex and the Hexes (which I’m working on right now). Things between Bobby and Charlotte are going hot and cold, so we’ll see where they end up. Willow steps into the spotlight a little more in this chapter, and things with Rachel get a little crazy.


I’d like to think I’m about 50% done at this point. I’ve added some automated music scenes and some original songs for Charlotte and Bobby. I added them starting in chapter 2, so I am pretty sure that your saved games will not work because of this. Maybe create a save at the beginning of the show at the beach club, so you won’t have to skip all the way through chapter 1.


I THINK this chapter is gonna be really good. I think my foray into “real” writing has helped a little, although writing a novel and writing a VN are very different. With a VN, you have to let the images tell part of the story and take the place of any descriptions you would normally write out in a novel. I HOPE I am now doing both better.


I will be doing a little more custom content for my Patreon and Subscribestar folks soon. Halloween is on it’s way and that is Eve’s favorite holiday, so we’ll see what she has in store for you all. I think I might do some polls and release some music as well.


Anyway, I gotta go tune my drums!


See ya in a couple weeks.


Love y’all,





Look at her go! Writing songs left and right!

[*Jonesy*]

Trick or Treat!

Holy Guacamole, it's almost Halloween!


I’ve been so absorbed with my own crap that it really snuck up on me this year. I gotta get a costume!


Anyway, down to business. Not really much to tell, other than progress is progressing. I think I’m still on track to get this chapter out by or before Thanksgiving. I have a lot to do, but I’ve gotten a lot done as well. I’m about 60% done I’d say.


For those of you who don’t know, I basically write, render and code each episode all at once. I plan out the beginning, the end and a few ideas for things that happen in between, but I usually let Charlotte and Bobby decide how they handle those things organically. It may not be the “best” way to do it, but it’s my way of doing it.


So yeah, there are only two (large) scenes left to do with some spiciness in there somewhere.


Also, for all my paid subscribers on

and

, there is a poll to vote on which of the lovely ladies that dominate the scenes in my stories will be dressed up for Halloween, so if you’re interested, head over there, throw me a couple of bucks and vote. I’d really appreciate the support, and I’d love to see which one of my girls everyone likes the best (I definitely have my favorites!).


I gotta go see how Charlie’s doing with Vikki. Last I saw, she was a nervous wreck.


See ya in a couple of weeks.


Love y’all,

Bi. Bi-weekly is every two weeks, or twice a week because it can be both cause english is... well, english.

 

[jI11jaCksjAkk]

I had completely forgotten about this game, which is a shame. No updates in almost a year-and-a-half?
