Hello everyone,

So, I sat down a week or so ago to write the update advising you all of the changes I wanted to make here. 

But, I got way too carried away and ended up writing 16,000 words and building it into an ARG, a lot of people got lost in it and I fear the important bits went missing, so here follows the important bits, along with some adjustments from what was stated in the game:

There are now only 2 tiers

One is the privacy conscious option that won’t list you in the credits or pull you into the discord server, the other does.

I originally set this as a £1 minimum with the option to set your price at checkout.

After having sat with this for a week or so, I think that this will likely change.

It was referenced in the game that, because of payment processing fees, the actual return I get from this is around 40 pence, I do value my work a bit higher than that. So in the interests of your money arriving where it can be useful towards the work, I will increase that slightly.

My commitment to lessening financial burden still remains, I’ve not decided what to put it up to, but I think somewhere around £3-5 will be where I settle, less than the previous tiers, but higher than the minimum.

Increases will take place on 18/10/2026

You still have time to snag a cheaper sub, if you pick it, you will keep its benefits forever, adjustment would only affect new subs after this date.

After the game went live I received a surge of new subs, I’d say about 99% of them opted for the minimum, but since the hype cycle has passed subs have returned to their usual trickle, what I’ve managed to do with this move is basically 1/7th my income. 

Along with the planned closure to subscribe star, despite all the extra attention, this reduced my income by around 30-40%.

This is fine, but my intention was to try and raise more capital to expand out my team, I think it was maybe too early to make this step.

Still, I hope it helped some people who do want to contribute, but maybe my existing price structure was a bit too high for them. 

I will never take away what I've promised, if you picked this tier, you will keep its benefits forever, this adjustment would only affect new patrons.

And yes I know the game quoted ‘This is not a sale, it will remain this way, forever’

I think this was a case of ill timing, I am a man of many flaws, but admitting when I got something wrong is not one of them. 

I will probably approach ‘refreshes’ like this in the future in lieu of sales. I want people sticking around, my content takes a lot of time to make, I want stable income, not feast and famine. But that needs to be manageable for my contributors.

I know a lot of people sub for one month and grab the collection and leave, and that is fine too, but I think I deserve a bit more than 40 pence for how much I put into this.

Masters are no longer a thing

Misguided attempt to provide more for the money, everyone gets the same now.

Since workflow changes, masters are best kept as apple prores, these files are massive, and generally incompatible outside of professional solutions.

The subscriber release already targets visually indistinguishable quality and maximum audio quality, the masters were just unnecessary bloat.

Thus I will assume responsibility for their preservation.

I’m going to start producing SFW stories

I wrote a piece recently that I want to make and put on youtube, and create a separate page for the SFW stories that exist in their shared universe.

You will get a copy of the SFW movie here because, as far as I’m concerned, you all paid for it.

The new page will have its own community discord, 18+ as my primary audience is millenial/genz and I do not want minors in the community. The SFW will be inoffensive to them but it’s not really targeted at them. I want the new community to focus on learning and development of those wishing to pursue 3D as a medium. Fostering a wholesome community based on mindfulness, support and inclusion.

I’m not going to deny the same people are responsible for both types of content, but I do not want to lead individuals into content they might not be ready for.

It is my view that those who produce or consume pornography have been subject to the judgments inherent with the actions of a minority of bad actors, I want to prove this doesn't have to be the case.

Everyone gets horny, that doesn’t make us all monsters, and our enjoyment of pornographic content shouldn’t define us.

My back catalogue will be distributed on newgrounds

Via a phased approach so I can talk a little about each piece as it goes out.

I think the ideal structure is to keep the 'latest' release behind the paywall, and everything before that becomes public.

Once a piece is flagged as ‘free’ it will be free to share, but you must do so with attribution.

If you try to list my work and gain money from it, or claim it as your own, I will prosecute.

This does not include reaction content, its presence in FMV’s or compilations, provided I am credited. (this is mainly for the SFW stuff, I don’t really want to see people cranking it to the porno)

Blanket amnesty is awarded for any content already released, if some of my content is up on someone's xhamster page currently earning them a few bucks, that’s cool, I hope it helps.

But this stops from my next release onward.

NSFW Assets will never be distributed

This was listed as a ‘maybe’ under the higher tiers for years, but something held me back from doing this.

This is because I don’t want to see my creations being used in inappropriate ways, I do not own distribution rights to all the assets, and to protect my IP.

This is my world, you get to peer into it, you need to be part of my organization to play in it.

You’re going to get what you’re given

The world I created where these events take place is a full, living, breathing environment, with corporate and government structures, rules and regulations for why these events take place.

It’s heavily built on consent, some of my scenes may appear to skirt the line of dubcon, there is an explanation and reason for this, which has been alluded to in a previous work of mine. (Aimee returns) 

The general takeaway though is, these people are in these situations because they want, or are at most, begrudgingly willing to be a part of them. 

I have a story I need to tell, this has to be my priority. I have a plan for how to address a lot of feedback varieties I’ve seen.

I want to engineer interactive pornographic experiences

A lot of people want things to end differently, denial, sounding, various things they want to see or experience.

I accommodate for these where I can, but generally I found trying to ‘please the audience’ with my mainline story was holding me back too much creatively.

If I try to please some, I will displease the rest.

So I had the idea to build ‘create your own’ packs, that would allow you to assemble clips in a fashion so you could have the experience you want. 

Considered non-canon, this is to me, the best way I can see to give everyone what they want. 

The ultimate rendition is an interactive game play type experience that would allow you to unfold a scene according to your vision.

This is the project I’m currently working on, alongside the SFW scene.

I’m not -just- doing male content, it will just be the focus for the meantime

If you’ve seen something I’ve done in the past, it’s because It’s something I wanted to do.

Futa, female and male content will appear, but I’m tired of working with sub par models, and need proper ground up properly rigged models to remove the technical limitations that have been plaguing me.

The only model I have rights to use safely that isn’t going to cause me issues is the male model, there is however, one exception, the Juno Arc.

I planned to use this to introduce a major story beat as to -why- we see lookalikes in this world, but to do that, I need one or two more episodes to introduce it. 

It's that or starting the whole thing again with a new model and I like my approach better.

All of this stuff takes ages

If I’m moving to OC’s, they need to be genuinely appealing.

This means backstories need to be written, species and breeds need solid reasons for existing, and it needs to check out.

Artists need to be found and hired to produce concept art, modellers need to make them, and riggers need to prep them for animation. 

This means I’m either going to do nothing for 6-8 months (estimate, probably not accurate) or do what I can in the meantime, hence the ‘interactive experience’ project.

You don’t know what you want, I know what you want

I am -very- good at this storytelling stuff.

Stories will always demand a little bit of your attention up front for the best effect, I don’t like the current state of media, writers have to accommodate for ‘second screen’ syndrome.

Things need to grab your attention within the first 7 seconds or it’s lost forever.

It is my view that this is the primary reason for the decline in content quality over the last decade or two, good stories need time to unfold. 

I believe we have become very stringent with our attention, because we are so used to seeing it abused, stories start off interesting and engaging, but the writers barrel in with no ending in mind, so the payoff is rarely satisfying, a situation often exacerbated by extended season commitments. (remember when Rick and Morty went down the pan after they agreed to do 13 seasons?)

I have an ending in mind, and I already have all the answers.

I believe I can do this properly, being independent means I’m not subject to hitting a target runtime, stories can be tight, meaningful, impactful and engaging. 

This can be done better, and I intend to prove it.

I’m working on the results overview of the game

This will be a separate post where I go over them all. I've been busy tidying up my office (‘I need a clean house’ was not just referring to my patreon page). 

Seriously, this place was perceptually indistinguishable from a pig sty.

There were also a bunch of technical issues I had to rectify (remember that new KVM I put in? Yeah it broke everything).

I also had to shift my linux distro, and have settled on a rock solid, long support lifecycle, enterprise reliability inspired distribution (rocky) which has also fixed a number of issues I had with some of my other software (houdini). 

So far everything is working swimmingly, but it always starts off that way (fedora did at least).

I’m trying to get everything to a state where it will work, and continue to work forever, and I won’t end up in situations where I’m mid-flow having to rip out a bunch of cables because something went wrong again.

Still mostly working on the last few bits of setup, hence no results just yet, they need collation and presentation, and I need to ensure the message isn’t 16,000 words again.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!
