ASLPro3D Dude, I wish her a fast recovery. You are the only one who can remedy that feeling of loss. And there are people who are cheering for you and your wife albeit we never met.
Just from a selfish notion, where in the of Kiwi's world are ya from? Had the chance as a lad to travel from Auckland to Dunedin.Jack, All the best from New Zealand
I like the others that saw your last post before me, wish you the best, Hope she can recover quickly from the operation and that you can both get some rest soon.
Looks really nice, closest i got was warangnui(sp?) and Palmerston north. I understand the Mtn. threat I am spitting distance from Mt. Rainier. In 1980 St. Helens lost her cool, so wouldn't be all that surprised to see Rainier slime Microsoft (or Boeing) back to punch cards and the wright brothersNew Plymouth, under the good old Volcano (Mount Taranaki, Dormant but overdue)
Wanganui, close but many Maori would be really upset by the mispell, Im part Maori (Direct decendant to a line of Chiefs) but more European so im not as worried about that stuff.Looks really nice, closest i got was warangnui(sp?) and Palmerston north.

Glad you are both well and take good car of her. She got her bell to call for her private butler, if not you might not take deliveries from strange DHL personnel?
UPDATE: SHE’S HOME & THANK YOU!!!
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
I just wanted to take a brief moment to start everyone’s weekend off with GOOD NEWS, which is that the wife is HOME from the hospital and is comfortably resting!!
She still has a long way to go in healing, but she is happy to be able to do it at home, comfortable in her own bed and surroundings and with me waiting on her hand and foot! LOL
I ALSO want to THANK those of you who were kind enough and obviously were junior detectives enough to send my wife flowers while she was at the hospital… it REALLY surprised us and it made her quite happy.
Never thought that me not hiding my identity would mean my wife getting blessed with GET WELL SOON flowers, little stuffed bears and balloons from people from other states AND COUNTRIES would be the result of my desire to be up front with all of you on who I was would make that possible, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and don’t worry, all of them came home with us and the flowers are now sitting on the mantle over our fireplace and the balloons are behind the TV so the wife can see them while she relaxes in the recliner and heals and catches up on the television show’s she’s missed.
I want to also thank everyone who has taken the time to share with us their own experience and knowledge about the situation that we just went through, the kind words and support you’ve shown and the advice that you’ve gifted us with, thank you!! We are taking it to heart and appreciate the candor and care that you showed in sharing that part of your life with us!! I, truly, don’t have words enough!!
I am sorry that I couldn’t get pictures of ALL of the flowers and gifts (truly, our living room looks like a jungle right now!!! LOL), but THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kindness, your generosity, your support, love and prayers, we are TRULY touched and love you all, THANK YOU!!
Okay, time for me to go and check on her, but I will be using the time when I am not watching over her to get back to work on the stories and game for all of you… I truly can’t thank all of you enough, I am so glad to have you in our corner and a part of our lives!!
Thank you!!
~Jack
(PS: I suck with a cellphone camera, sorry!!)
Yeah, it was a bit... surprising, to see just how easily it was for people to find us... but in some ways, it did a lot to boost up her spirits.Glad you are both well and take good car of her. She got her bell to call for her private butler, if not you might not take deliveries from strange DHL personnel?
No worries, most people are actually kindhearted at heart anyway even if they sometimes behave like morons in groups. Smart idea with the mob phone and yeah internet made the world a small place sometimes and privacy more of an illusion as we often wish to think. Luckily that is not always a bad thing as you just experienced.Yeah, it was a bit... surprising, to see just how easily it was for people to find us... but in some ways, it did a lot to boost up her spirits.
I don't think we'll have much problems, though... after all, I am ex-military and an American who happens to own one of those dreaded "assault weapons" that the media likes to blather on about and would have people believe that I will go "postal" because I own one. *sigh*
Anyhow, don't have a little bell for the wife to ring, but did come up with the idea for her to use her cellphone to call me when she is on the other level of the house and needs me... all she needs to do is speed dial me and I come running and, believe me, she's already used it.
As I stated before; If I lived in US I would be your butler till your wife healed, for free. I have a few extra pounds but I still rock a butler's suit tooYeah, it was a bit... surprising, to see just how easily it was for people to find us... but in some ways, it did a lot to boost up her spirits.

First of extremely happy to hear the good news about the wife and that she is recovering nicely. I don't do discord but hope she will have a fun session there.
UPDATE: UP and MOVING… a bit slow, but MOVING again! (October 18, 2019)
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
I am pleased to report that the wife was able to get her many, many staples removed yesterday and none of her stuffing came out!!
I am extremely thankful to report that the pathology on her uterus and cervix that they removed and sent for testing came back as BENIGN!!! The surgeon also directed use to a few websites (such as WHI: Woman’s Health Initiative) that would help us to understand everything and help her with questions and support if she feels she needs it.
He has also decided to put her on an Estrogen patch for 3 months, to help with the “hot flashes” she has been going through, till her body adjusts to just having the one ovary they left in her to do its job of producing the hormones she needs… I should be getting a call to pick up the prescription for her sometime today.
Thank you again for all of your thoughts, prayers, wishes and your continued support!! The wife and I definitely appreciate it greatly and you can expect, when she feels a bit better, to see her on our Discord Server chatting it up with those of you that come there, to thank you personally for your love and support!
She still needs a bit more resting time, but will let you know when she is able to do so!
IN OTHER NEWS: REGARDING THE GAME(S)…
While I haven’t been able to get NEAR ENOUGH work that I wanted done on the game, both Epadder and Sierra3 have been WORKING THEIR TAILS OFF on them!!
So, allow me to break down for all of you what we’ve been doing for all of you…
ME: JACK –
First, while I’ve not had my usual amount of time to work as normally, I have still been working and producing the extra scenes and story to go into the REMASTERED version of “Wicked Choices: Book One”, as well as, building the sets, scenes and characters needed for “Adventures of a Changed Boy”.
One such character is “Aethyia” (pictured above), up till now, you’ve only been able to witness and experience the “Realism” and “Medieval/Fantasy” part of the story, thus far, but with “Adventures of a Changed Boy”, you’ll be finally introduced to the “Sci-Fi” part of the story… and “Aethyia” is ONE PART of that… if you want SPOILERS and see/know a little more about this character, I will be putting her images and info behind the paywall (as the other images would be a violation of Patreon’s TOS… sorry) a little later today.
(NOTE: Will be posting it here on F95 for everyone in a SPOILER box post in a little bit)
EPADDER –
Epadder has been adding a TON of NEW FEATURES for all of you that will be in both the REMASTERED version of “Wicked Choices: Book One” and the prologue and main game of “Adventures of a Changed Boy”!!
You will now have a feature that will allow you to see the characters you’ve unlocked within the game(s), but also be able to click on their images to see a summary about that character that will change and update as you play the game!
This will be EXTREMELY handy when it comes to playing our games, since we throw so much information at you, the player, that at times it is hard to remember everything that has happened… now, you can check the CHARACTER INFO/SUMMARY (info and biography) and get an update of what that character’s done (based on your choices in game), as well as, get to see nice “Pin-Ups” and “Wallpapers” of the character in the many outfits that you’ve currently unlocked, that you can page through or use on your computer as a “background”!!
Also, there are a LOT of choices for you to make in our games, different paths that you can choose to go and with different outcomes… for example, the image above is just the many different paths that you could go in JUST INSIDE OF THE PROLOGUE to the game!!
So, to make things easier on all of you and save those who don’t have a “WALKTHROUGH” of our game(s), Epadder has designed a "REAL-TIME" PATHING SYSTEM that lights up and highlights the path that you’ve taken as the player, to “remember” the choices you made or other choices you could’ve made!!!
And… none of that would be complete, without a GALLERY that enables you to see ALL of the images that you currently unlocked or not, during the course of your game!!
So, now if you want to see any particular image that interests you, you don’t have to try and strip the game, once “UNLOCKED” you can recall that image/scene at any time!!
Plus, there will be MORE little goodies that you will discover, which we won’t reveal just yet, as you play as well!!!
SIERRA3 –
While Epadder has been working on all of that, Sierra has been testing it… AS WELL AS, methodically been going through “Wicked Choices: Book One” and has been adding Sound FX and Music into the game!!
That’s right, now those that play the REMASTERED version of “Wicked Choices: Book One” will have atmospheric sound and music to enhance your gameplay!!
A really, really LARGE task and with MULTIPLE CHANNELS!!
But I have to say, it is like a totally different BEAST now!! Much more ALIVE and IMMERSIVE!
So, you have ALL OF THIS and MUCH, MUCH MORE to look forward to in the coming weeks, as we continue to work for all of you to provide you with the BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE we can!! Not just for our PAST GAME, but for our FUTURE ONES as well!!
As always, we SINCERELY thank you for your SUPPORT, your dedication to our projects and work, as well as, your love and care for us… you make all of this WORTH it and couldn’t do ANY OF THIS without YOU!!
Thank you and ETERNALLY GRATEFUL,
~Jack, the Wife, Epadder and Sierra3
This is true, we really have been 'kicking things up a notch' for everyone and want to provide the best experience for them... we want to make things worthwhile for everyone that has been supporting us, tolerating the set backs and giving of their hearts and paychecks (like you, my friend) a value for all of that!!First of extremely happy to hear the good news about the wife and that she is recovering nicely. I don't do discord but hope she will have a fun session there.
Also good news about the game, well nobody could ever accuse you of being ambitious.
