Corporate Development Memo (Public 7/20/2026)
Good evening everyone,
It's been close to two months since my last public post (I think May 25 or so?) so I am doing a public update.
It's also about to hit exactly six months on my work calender/taskings for the update overall so I think this is good timing too.
First, the very core update in numbers:
2784 renders, and 183 raw animations.
Now with animation numbers, I always want to be transparent and state I won't use all 183, I typically would guess from this number that I end up using about 155 or so. Last update the overall total I used in the game was I think 173 animations and I think I had slightly over 210 raw animations. So I feel like I'm way ahead for this point of renders (last update was way more than current 2784 count) with animations.
In my normal Patreon post last week people know that I mentioned a negative thing that happened that was giving me some writers block with the sub path. I'm very much a vibe person with writing and I'm trying to clear this funk so to speak. I was pondering mentioning way more about it because I am big on transparency but have chosen not to go into full detail at this time. But suffice to say, I am sticking most likely to the secret sub and dom path this month until I feel jumpstarted to shift back to the sub side. The very short version of it all is that I thought I had a friend but it turns out I did not. I also learned from my father especially that if someone calls out your integrity or character (which is very different than calling out your behavior) without good reason or evidence -- then you need to drop them and move on immediately. So I have.
I have been fairly criticized for my temper, behavior, arrogance/bitchiness, the game itself and other personal things but I generally won't stand idly by and take attacks on my character as a human being. That's a red line for me. Not that I behave super well all the time, but my intent to try and "do the right thing" is very much my Kiyomi spirit deep down. (in case some haven't figured it out, Kiyomi's sense of honor is absolutely from me just as much as say Alessandra's face most closely resembling mine)
On integrity, I have for multiple years tried to be very clear and transparent about the good and bad about the game as nothing is ever a perfect straight line. All I can do is just keep working and grinding and enjoying the process. In the end, I have to enjoy this creative exercise to really keep at it.
Also, on more than one occassion, I have paused billing on the page itself because I didn't feel comfortable that I was giving a full month of effort/ROI for people pledging, etc. I take this responsbility seriously and make sure to do weekly updates and monthly good faith effort to keep moving forward on the game, etc.
I will never lie and say my first priority is the game players -- it isn't. My first priority is my personal enjoyment of writing the game. Without that, I'm not here. But I absolutely care about the players and hope they can enjoy the game. I sometimes get really great private messages about certain things and they do impact me, especially a specific few...
Sorry for the rant but I wanted to clear this on some level for myself and not go too deep into it down the road.
My plan this month is to continue the secret sub path and shift to the dom path soon. I am going to see how that goes (I will likely hit about 3000 renders in a few weeks or so) and assess with another 30k foot view week of organizing the next big chunk of my outline.
I'm very lucky to have a great husband that keeps me grounded. I'm way more "up and down" than him and he's helped me a lot this week. I was not in the best mood when I considered writing this post on July 12th. Waiting a week was his idea and frankly a wise one.
I promise I will keep working hard and doing my best even if it's not always super productive at the same level each week. But I have managed to pretty much do 100 renders a week very consistently so I'm pretty happy about that metric.
Most of these pictures are public and as always, it can be tricky finding non-adult pictures! But I think these are all ok but if not, I will fix them accordingly. These are mostly renders I have done post May 25th or whenever the last public update was...sorry for Patrons that might have seen a few of these already. But you also have a little more context with a few of these scenes. ;)
Random thought right now as I sit here -- I kind of want Elena to pick up the Doctor and do something, hehe. Anyway...I know this post is too long but long story short -- things continue at a good pace and I'll keep working hard for everyone.
Cherish the people in your life that matter...always.
Love,
Tess

*Figured I would try again. Hope you see and respond. Just posting exact same message below here.*** Was playing and saw a bug???? and weird flow of some, figured I would post, not sure if you will get this. Latest update, game 4 I think, cube room thingy. After Delilah game on cross type thing, there is an Claudia ass lick scene, that can only happen if we get badend with Delilah and kicked in nuts. But earlier Claudia mentioned she would go, it just skips scene if we get answer right, even if we don't accept BJ. I think this scene should play and just skips for some reason. So I think Its an error Also, end of game 3 to new update on sub side feels strange, cass locked up, Olivia mediating, but both were just in that water area with kane. Feels weird jump, like how is Cassandra tied up already, not that much time passed just some type of flow, maybe you can fix in some way minor maybe not. But hoepfully you can look at why Cludia ass lick ain't playing, I want some Claudia actionable nd feels like it should of played regardless. Take a look if you can and respond also if you can.

Hi Miss Tess! Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the craft, the game feels like much more than a game it feels like a piece of art. What I’ve loved most is the storytelling and especially the psychological depth: the characters, their motivations, relationships, and the way the story makes you think even after you’ve put the game down. Alessandra in particular really stayed with menot simply because she’s beautiful, but because of the combination of intelligence, confidence, elegance, warmth, playfulness, and emotional perceptiveness she embodies. In the beginning, she was a mystery and then suddenly after understanding the big picture she knew what to do, a thunder. I was mesmerised by her character, I actually found myself reflecting on why her character resonated with me personally, and I think that’s one of the clearest signs of great writing: when a fictional character doesn’t just entertain you, but makes you reflect on yourself. That is just an epitome of art. 🫡🙏Oscar Wilde, one my goated writer and human, said art and morality are separate, there is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book(story). For art’s sake, you got my total respect! Staying tuned….
This isn't typically my style (dom/sub/neto), but I find so much talent here I stick around. Your transparency and rationale for doing it your way is refreshingly honest and I'll never discount that. I don't have to love it to appreciate the effort, and often enough it's fun, personally thoughtful and stimulating, regardless. I'm an old dev from the Bethesda sweat shops (10+ years). I wrote for TES 4/5 and then said screw it and did it my own way with dozens of published mods. You do you, make it yours, and make it count 😉!
great
Been following this project for a while. How often do new releases drop? Is it every 12ish months?
Thank you, Mistress Tess, for granting us with a little insight into your feelings. I can only say, that you are my goddess as much as all the goddesses (and in particular the dark and evil goddesses) you are creating in your game. That are a lot of preview pictures this time and I go along with Horseoffire that the picture where Olivia put her beautiful legs on the desk is extremely arousing. They are so seductively that I want immediately to drop on my knees and kiss and lick her feet. I wish you a wonderful week, Mistress Tess!
Dear Tess far as long as I’ve known, you’ve been an amazing, strong, intelligent woman your character is without question and anybody willing to question it obviously, they do not know you and secondly they’re not very intelligent. You’re somebody who has passion who cares who loves and who really wants betterment for even difficult or impossible situations because your heart is so pure and good. I’m sorry you had such an experience, but I know this is not something of you and it’s something of them you’re amazing and I thank you for all your contributions to our community and I’m sure beyond this even though I don’t know you you do even more contributions to your own local community with your family and friends so your character is never in question. I believe that with me, knowing you very limited and that this individual is 100% in the wrong I support you and many of us support you and we are with you shoulder to shoulder foot to foot and I thank you for all that you do and all the sacrifices you make you’re amazing and wonderful and I look forward to many more exceptional experiences from you thank you mistress for everything you have done over all these years 🫂❤️❤️❤️ (I spoje the text i hope siri wrote everything correctly) ❤️🙏✌️
P.S. I love the picture where the legs are on top of the desk and the black dress highly sexy picture. This is a great leg shot. ❤️
I have learned that we go through our lives, literally training people in what we are willing to accept as treatment by them. Standing up for yourself may be one of the hardest decisions we can make in life. Glad to hear that you are choosing yourself, your integrity, and your happiness over tolerating bad behaviour from others. :)
I Love the game "Karlsson's Gambit". It is right up my alley. So TY, Grym. (I enjoy BDSM & I love punishing men and have them 'put in their place'; generally on their knees in submission, and being punished.
heyy, what thoughts u get when u punish them ur way
First and foremost, being yourself is the start of everything, including creation of the game. Don't beat yourself up.
While I've played several playthroughs of Karlsson's Gambit already, this is my first visit to the Patreon, and I must say that I am impressed by the sheer amount of unvarnished truth and personal ethics in this one public post alone. Thank you for making the decision to subscribe so easy.
Well Mistress if someone can't accept who you are it's best option which you choose. Also have such a lovely husband and great father is awesome. Please take care of yourself. Have a great week. And keep giving us something unique in form of your game. Best wishes to you.
Always appreciate all that you do and I’m so happy you have people there to support you every single step of the way! As I always say, Thank you for being you!! ❤️
I'm a bit too tired to be eloquent or great with a response but just thank you! Tess
