LewdLad Patreon Anniversary!

It's been slightly over a year since this Patreon begun, and what a remarkable year it's been!

First I want to thank you all profusely for your continued support... it's turned an idea that was a gnawing curiosity - something like "Ha, that'd be cool if I could do that", into a reality - producing lewd mods for lewd gaming fans on a professional basis!

It's been quite the journey, from the start of my modding endeavour - returning to a game I thought I quit, because it was moddable, through to the interesting start, where I had only intended to release a lewd base body for all the modders to use, through to sticking around and making a couple, then taking on board some requests and bounties out of my own amusement. This led into making Bride Miko - which at the end netted me a bounty of over 1k as various community members kicked in to gain early access to the mod!

At the same time, a variety of community members over on AGMG were telling me to start a patreon - an idea I was against for a while; I reasoned I didn't want it to feel like a job, and would feel bad for people if I were to take long breaks from it to get my normal day job done.

Nonetheless, the Bride Miko bounty helped to sell me on the idea that there was a good deal of demand for what I was doing, and so I started in early-mid December of last year, putting up the Bride Miko mods I had created for the bounty, while continuing to improve, refine and create variants for them!

Across the year, I've produced hundreds of mods - thousands if you count all the individual variations packed into the various toggles/multi-toggles and mega toggle mods!

I've made nearly a hundred complete costumes sets for many characters, with perhaps thousands of individual components.

I've helped to commission and create some of the more useful modding tools, while also talked to many people and helped them on their modding journey, spending much of my initial time helping people learn Blender and improve their modding speed and workflow substantially.

I also hired a number of modders to work with me to help produce these mods to a higher quality, faster - most notably Shinya, Murren, but also Boosted, Fake and other members of the Lewd Modding Team and friends!

I'm pretty happy with what I've achieved with this community - I think it's no overstatement to say that we are the most prolific cosmetics modding community in the world right now, collectively creating dozens of new mods a day for a huge variety of characters. It follows that we're also the most prolific lewd modding community due to Genshin fan's embrace of lewd mods, so thank you all hugely for helping to drive this success.

I couldn't play the game anymore without these mods - they add a huge degree of charm and interest to a game that can over the course of months and years become quite frustrating and repetitive in many aspects. But the sight of some lewd mods can absolutely soothe the soul!

Your support has been fantastic and vociferous - I hear you all; You want someone with the skills to continue making the best lewd mods for you all, and I plan on continuing my journey in doing that!

In the coming year, so long as I can secure enough help to continue producing Genshin content at the rate I'm already producing it, I plan on pivoting towards other games, both already released and to be released. Games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, are games I feel like I need my personal touch - even if only a little. Games like Project Mugen and Zenless Zone Zero look really promising, as does Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! I'm excited to both play and mod all these games, and I hope you all join me in my journey to do so!

The long term plan for this Patreon and this small community that we continue to build and grow is to eventually create a service for creating the premiere lewd mods for games - where people looking for this stuff will recognize the Lewd Lad brand instantly and know that quality lewds are been produced for whatever game we'll be working on!

In the mean time, we continue to work hard and tirelessly on creating the finest lewds for you all. In the queue we already have a variety of costumes produced for Navia, Ayaka, Raiden, refreshing Bride Miko and have plans on getting some good stuff going for Yoimiya as well! The huge roster of characters will provide endless inspiration and enjoyment for the years to come I think!

If you made it this far, thank you for reading, and thank you for your support! A big, We love you all! from the Lewd Modding Team!
