Things are actually moving
Didn't I say an update would happen every 15 days 45 days ago?
Fuck me did those 45 days go quickly.
I had a few productive days in the second half of April and then May was generally messy at work. I'm a financial consultant in my real life, and it's a great gig but it means living at the whims of my clients. Not diverting blame, just explaining why my evenings and weekends are sometimes shot.
I also keep this hobby secret from family and friends. Not particularly embarrassed or ashamed of my fascination with gender transition, my attraction to trans women, or my love of writing (and writing smut), it's just not polite dinner conversation. So, the house must be empty for work to occur. Writing on Twine is subtle enough. Looking for the right video that involves a trans woman cumming while being penetrated... that's less subtle.
It's funny, you might on first impression think that writing erotica is...
erotic. I mean, you are glancing through a fair bit of porn when you're searching for appropriate visual media, but actually it's not sexy or arousing at all. Bug testing can be when you're reading through and experiencing scenes, but writing a porn game, even a porn scene, is just writing. You get into your flow state, and then you just 'watch' the scene in your mind and articulate it in so many words onto the Twine passage.
I have a solid weekend completely off and to myself coming up in June. I want to absolutely smash the fuck out of that weekend in terms of productivity - no sleep, just write. If I can have three of those weekends, this update will be complete. I'll work on the margins in evenings when I can, but obviously those long periods of work are where the productivity magic happens.
On another note, I've been thinking about Girl Spy's next update. I'm committed to making that happen post The Good Son's next release. It's all mapped out on my phone (in terms of the outline of the update). Should be fun to write when the time arrives.
I've been getting a lot of great messages, both publicly on Discord, here, and F95, and also privately from DMs. Some are completely supportive, some are genuinely anxious and hopeful, some are marked by cynicism. All are warranted. This content drought sucks. It's been six months since Girl Spy was released. I'm kicking my own ass right now to get moving. It will come. Work continues to progress where possible
You are all awesome. I know this content is pretty niche, otherwise you'd go elsewhere. But there aren't too many other creators to go to, so here we are. I
want to give you guys these stories, more than anything. I love writing this stuff. Real life and hobby life sometimes don't align, is all.
Alright, 15 days and another update will follow.
