Hey, tried to warn all of you that it wasn't pretty... but, yeah, kind of gruesome to look at right now.
Yeah, I am by no means done with the surgeries... spine and body breaking down and getting repaired is the future for me now.
Just kind of want the body to get with the program a little, so that I can have them a little better spaced out... like 1 surgeries every 3 to 5 years would be GREAT, rather than every year or other year.
I am ex-Army and I am the same way, I will give Life a battle it hasn't seen before and drag it down with me... tooth and nail.
Yeah, been taking it as easy as possible, right now... the pain from this shoulder surgery is worse than any pain I'd ever suffered from one before... which is strange, you'd think having neck and back surgery would be worse.
But, the wife said that the reason why I think it hurts worse is because I still keep trying to use the arm when I shouldn't.
However, I will now be on the lookout for the DHL, Fed-EX and UPS drivers and when I see them, will run away as fast as these legs can take me!
If that is what Death is, sign me the HELL UP!!
My luck, it will be a grumpy old man... but if it is a hot, death chick, I am game and all for it (sorry guys)!!!
Unfortunately that does make sense though, lots of major muscles go through shoulder area that are used or stretched even when just sitting or lying down. Let alone when you actively do something especially with hands or arms. Well it is not like you can run that fast atm anyway (also to keep balance while running you use shoulders so not that smart) , but there are better ways as regular delivery services as long as some are more tempted by food.

Now I can't be answering everything and ruining the surprise for all of you!
But, I can and will tell you that the story definitely continues in "Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers" and it will be up to you who want to find love with, corrupt, have children with and how restrictive or free that the characters will be when it comes to who they take an interest in... and, of course, the ramifications or consequences that might come about from doing so or not.
Hopefully, with this surgery out of the way (currently healing from having it on Wednesday), I think the story writing is going to be a lot better (since I won't be on painkillers any longer) and with the time I've been spending learning Daz, while waiting for my surgery, the artwork is much, much better now... so, I think you and everyone else can look forward to enjoying the continuation and all of the goodies we have planned for all of you!!
Take your time, people would rather wait even a couple years to have the story finished instead of it never being finished so many great games got abandoned like The Coceter Chronicles AND Love and Submission among others, but your health is important. Maybe you can find someone who would help with the game, some people get help with making these games. If i had better grammar i would help, i only helped TheDevian with story ideas and character names, stuff like that as i am not a programmer. Some people like me even help for free if you need it that is. TheDevian
UPDATE: A Return to Work After Surgery & During Physical Torture – June 2, 2025
Hello everyone, sorry that I’ve been pretty quiet over here and only been active over on X… I find it much easier to quickly make a post and interact in a limited form, rather than someplace (like here) where I feel inclined to write a mini novel when I post here.
It has been nearly 11 weeks since my shoulder surgery on March 19th (post with the surgical update and all of the gory photos here:
You must be registered to see the links
) and I am slowly getting back to normal… well, as normal as I can be for who I am.
Of course, despite the surgery and, what feels like endless, Physical Torture… err… Therapy, I still parked my ass in front of the computer to test my abilities, learn and work in Daz to get better for the game that I can’t wait to get back to working on and the results of those efforts can be witnessed in a photoshoot series of Princess Lynara in her Angelion form for all of you patrons.
Yes, the series is behind a paywall because of… well… nudity of course! grin
I will also have a 13 page, 3 panel comic of a SEXY photoshoot of Princess Lynara in her human form for all of you, that I’ve also been working on (with the help of
You must be registered to see the links
, who helped me figure out the lighting) for all of you and for being so patient in supporting us as I work to get back to form.
I should be done (because my insurance runs out) with Physical Torture in July, but I will be getting a membership to a local Planet Fitness gym to continue building up strength in the arm, as well as my back in the hopes of building more muscle in my lower back, taking some pressure off of my sciatic nerve and, HOPEFULLY, prevent losing the feeling in my legs and falling again so that I don’t keep screwing myself like I have.
Regardless, I plan to get back to work on the game soon, as I am on a much more reduced level of pain killers and have more confidence that I can get back to writing and expressing the story in the character’s voices.
Anyhow, enjoy the 20 renders of Princess Lynara in her Angelion form and look forward to the 13 pages, 3 panel comic of her in her human form, coming soon!
Take care everyone and, as always, thank you SO MUCH for your continued support as I work to get back to work! I appreciate it and you, VERY MUCH!

Yeah, I've been popping in and checking the Developer Forum and interacting there now and then, but sadly been on such heavy doses of meds, I really am a different creature than normal... fortunately, I've advanced in my PT that I am either doing good enough or so used to the torture that I've been reducing my med usage.
Still been using the time working and learning more of Daz Studio, but writing-wise, it has been hit or miss and sometimes just better if I keep my mouth shut.

While I agree that Patreon need a bit more nicely worded post (my opinion of course) here a simple "I'm still alive and working" would be sufficient. Yet, I would still appreciate those short post.
And last but not least, I think even on Patreon a few sentence (4-10) would be enough. People or at least my little old me care for those kind of post as much as for the bigger ones. Life is dangerous itself and so much can happen and I have enough devs that I haven't seen since age and it is unclear if they have a shift in their priorities or if something happen to them.

My priorities are and haven't changed since day one of starting "Wicked Choices: Book One", despite the hardship and now 5 surgeries, my goal is and remains to complete this game's story arc of the Antichrist and then get to the sequel series.
Being broken and disabled, I have nothing better to do with my time and love the story and characters that I've been creating and... dear god... I long to, once again, hear Syrina's voice in my head (which has been muted quite a bit under the meds I've been on)... but, while the software, character meshes and looks, because of it, my goal has never changed... to finish this damn series and move forward with the next one (which is better designed and laid out than this one).
Sadly, it has been a challenge, till recently, I still need to work on my internal and external rotation (which is needed at a keyboard and mouse), so a lot of my time has been on a phone than on my computer (except to set up renders while dosed to kill the pain)... so talking on a website is... challenging on a phone.
X has been a place where I am most active, as I get to talk with other developers (not just indie devs) and build up an audience and interest in the game(s) so that I might make something of a living being broken as I am... if people really want to know if I am alive and still passionate about my game (along with a lot of other developers and artists) that is the best place to find my pulse at the moment.

I doubt that I will go there. Elon can pump all the money he want into that sunk cost fallacy of his.
And assumingly without login into that "thing" it looks like this:
So, it is not usable. How has he said about the ad buyers who didn't act as he wanted: Go fuck yourselves. He can do that himself for all I care.

Hey, you gotta do you and be comfortable where you are at, it's all good.
Not twisting your arm to go there... but, gotta say: I've not had a bad experience there.
To me, it's like anywhere on the 'Net... it depends how you treat it, what you expect out of it and ignore the bad parts if you can.
No different than here or over at *sigh* Patreon, where freedom of expression is so constricted if it was to fart, it would sound like a dog whistle.
I don't know it myself, but I have high trust in the almighty trust & safety team to do exactly that what you have written.
I dunno that comes from even more that Subscribestar and Patreon have basically the same ground rules. But yes, it is well know that a young lucking girl in a school uniform is a red flag for them. Even though said girl is only a petite adult attending college.

I know that according to their new rules at Patreon, I am likely going to get banned as the content that I started with is now fully outlawed and they are even going to have trouble with what happened to William... non-consensual and all that.
So, I am likely going to have to rely HEAVILY on SubscribeStar and Steam to get any kind of support.
