Dev Update! 1/6/25
Hey hey, folks! Hope everyone's doing well. I got utterly whomped at my day job yesterday, on account of a severe winter storm. Hope anyone else in my little region of the US managed to avoid it, and you're all staying safe!
edit: Deleted gripes about pledges not collecting correctly. I screwed up! I collected my pledges at the end of November instead of the beginning, as I usually do. Then, I forgot about it. As a result, I just threw off the distribution of funds I normally get throughout the month. All's well, but it never hurts to check your billing info, just in case. :'D
Moving on!
I'm still devoting most of my energy towards writing the revised Chapter 1 content, and building the sets that I need. One of which is Guy's old apartment. We saw a little glimpse of this place in Chapter 4, in the aftermath of Brittani's photoshoot.
In a bit of bummer news, I'd actually screen-recorded myself building this scene, planning to share it as content here. But, my screen recorder crashed and I lost 40 some-odd minutes of raw footage. Not a huge loss, but a little disappointing. I'm going to try again with another scene, though. Part of my plan for 2025 is expanding my content offerings here a bit, and I think little Daz tutorials, process stuff, etc. would be fun.
Finally, I still continue to work on the Sapphire mini-sode, and I'll get it out as soon as I can. Life hasn't been very cooperative to my smut-peddler activities, for the past few days. But, here's a little teaser. I know that it's a little late for Christmas, but hey, Die Hard was originally released in July, so..
That's it for me, today! As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

Is this update coming this month so I can subscribe and will it have lots of Brittani content?
Afraid not! I generally update in 3-4 month increments, and am currently targeting the next update for March. But, that one is going to be the remake of Chapter 1, and Brittani won’t be featured. The following Chapter 11 may have a little Brittani, but most of her content will be in Chapter 12, where we’ll see her audition. That’ll be a whole update dedicated to her. But, right now I’m having a lot of technical difficulties due to the winter storm in my area, which keeps knocking out my power. So, that’s been bad for my ability to get any work done at all. 🫠
Good to hear that you figured out the payment problem. I very much enjoyed the little peek into Guy's immiserated existence. It reminded me of when I was getting divorced and the only place that I could afford since I was still keeping the ex-wife in the lap of luxury was a converted laundry room with a bed that folded out of the wall. Not that I got to stay there much since I was working two jobs just to stay broke and showering at the YMCA. Good times. I think that these little touches are why this is my top VN currently running. I can really relate to it and I am looking forward to the revamped chapter one.
You should check out the subreddit, r/malesurvivingspace. I find it kind of fascinating. Plus, after living a little rough in my 20s, I can really empathize with being crammed into a too-small, ill-maintained place, struggling to get ahead enough to extricate yourself from the situation.
That storm hit Ohio pretty hard, lost a day of work and had to postpone a booty call lol Looking forward to the Daz tutorials. I'm hammering out the plot for a couple stories I'll hopefully turn into games at some point.
Losing a day of work is never fun, but losing a booty call? A tragedy!
Not sure if you're aware but at least here in the UK, Patreon changed how they charge some people, (something to do with IOS). Now a lot of your earnings will trickle in through the month on the dates your patrons pledged rather than all at once on the 1st of the month.
Honestly? It may just be that I began withdrawing money in the first week of each month, and as a result, the money just sort of naturally accumulated around when I originally began withdrawing it. Like, in some long-ago billing cycle I may have taken a lesser/partial pledge amount, collecting only the back half of one month. But, after that, withdrawing money on the same date, I was effectively collecting the back half of one month, and the front half of another. I think it'll all work itself out by month's end, it's just giving me a tiny panic attack in the interim.
I was subscribed before the December break and assumed I would be resubscribed when you resumed payments but I just checked and that didnt happen. I assume thats what happened with others as well.
Well, that's extremely disturbing for me.
