June Progress Report

My original intent going into June was to work as much as I could on Leila and Roo. When it came to these two characters, I did not get to Roo again, but I made huge progress on Leila which involved a thorough read-down of the extant document, a reorganization of my massive notepad on her, and a proper establishment and series of use cases for her special mechanics once added to the game.

Something like her really shouldn't be done halfway through a game. It definitely would have been far easier to do these things if I was with TiTS from the start, haha. But she's getting there. Like Roo now, once I have a number of repeatable sex scenes written she'll be good to start getting implemented. You've heard that all before, but I stress that I have responsibilities that have always outweighed personal commitments.

Those responsibilities mean continuing the main plot of TiTS along with Fenoxo, Adjatha, and Savin. And I have similar responsibilities to Nonesuch and Noob with Cloud 10. Speaking of, my long-time coming project of Holli and Lorien, two hermaphrodite elf sisters, is making its way into C10 at a steady pace and I've already begun work on a new series of enemy encounters for the game.

In TiTS, I've successfully established the Paragon Playground brothel, a focal stop in all of the upcoming quests for Dhaal for a variety of reasons. To make it a really good addition, I'm working on a number of straightforward, generic scenes to give it and the planet some life. Look forward to another premium orgy and a host of mischief to get involved in, some quite detrimental.

CoC2, I do not have anything to speak of just yet. Kurako pregnancy is waiting in the wings and it's something I'm keen on taking as soon as possible. Just give me a while longer, there.

I can't quite say what's going to happen going forward. Today, as I write this, I'm expecting quite a large delivery and I plan to take not just today off to myself, but tomorrow as well. The delivery coming today is unexpected, but could be quite excellent. It will mean a lot going forward in terms of my overall working health.

What I plan to do in the next week or two is to finish filling out the Dhaal brothel with plenty of content, put the finishing touches on H&L for C10, and look into giving Fenoxo's Gabilani chemist some win scenes at last. I'm not letting him steal the Mating Press from me. Kura preg could happen later in the month, but it just depends. Once the immediate plot/advancement needs for these games are taken care of, I'm right back to my own personal roadmap.

Thank you ever so much for your continued support. I've said 2020 was a year of change for me. June wasn't the strongest, and that does hurt, but July is plenty of time to turn it around, especially now that I've been able to pick up a lot of things to improve my working environment. Again, it's entirely thanks to all of you. Words are insufficient here.

It's going to take time. I won't get your hopes up on any dates. I'll just keep you informed on what I'm doing as I always have, and do my best to bring it to life.

Is the casino on Zheng-shi run by the jumpers? I remember nothing whatsoever about the manager that sells you roo and it would make sense that the place of gambling be "independent" so that one gang can't rob the others blind but the fact that Roo was forced to get bunny ears leans VERY heavily to the Jumper brand.

The Brothel is looking great so far! I find it interesting that the outline notes that a part of the design ethos is to make it super easy to plug new characters in.

Is the idea due to other writers aside from you two expressing interest in the brothel? Or is it meant to be an easy place for new writers to plug in their first wacks at NPCs?

The owner of the casino is unaffiliated with Zheng Shi's operators.

It's a central point in the Dhaal quests yet to come, in addition to being run by what is basically alien Amazon. It'll be at the center of the Gyre and contain the numerous flavors of the planet and its three zaibatsus. That other authors wanted to write some prostitutes incidentally aligns with the place perfectly. It is easy to slot in anything new to the place, of course. Places like these should be as modular as possible.

Speaking of, the pick-up from the beginning of the month has been fairly slow, but progress is being made on the brothel. I finished the first part of the harem involving a megathicc suula milf, a red raskvel, and a rodenian boy.

Suula milf? Ah yeah!

Rodenian boy, I'm still interested in seeing.

A raskvel? If said raskvel was taken from The Mess by Beth Carver's people back on Tarkus, my boner will be sad. :(

Finished the [Catalogue] section of the Brothel. Not sure when coding will take place but it's about half done at this point, I'd say. Crossed the biggest hump with it. Brothel's got plenty of content to start being usable now. After getting some wander events in though...

Pls make sure to get drink plenty of fluids and rest well! Also, eat your vegetables.

is that anno?

also, would you be interested in finishing amber?
Isn't Amber a bit of a large endeavour?

Not to mention it would take time away from Leila, Bianca and Roo (when she occasionally blips back into existence). Its a bit much to ask a guy to push back his own projects for another NPC.

Also, us poor Bianca and Roo fans need some hope, Bianca Pt2 is in the distant horizon and if my membership is working correctly then Roo's doc hasn't been touched in a hot minute (and seems to fall farther back by the minute). Adding Amber to the docket would be a bit disheartening tbh.

No idea. I feel Fen would be better off doing her since she's made up of many of his biggest fetishes.

But then that's more pies in his oven :s

is that anno?

Yeah, Huskar Anno. It'll be for the imagepack whenever it gets done. It's coming from the same BBW artist who drew Bianca's humongous ass for me.

Looks like Anno's is bigger, but only by virtue of being phat.

Ok, but if fen wouldn’t take up the task, or is to busy, would it interest you enough to do it?

So has Bianca remarried?
I ask this because I came across a line when you talk to Bianca about her 'Family'.

"But what about her daughter? Cecily. She has her still, right? And she’s still wearing a ring, too.

Bianca looks at her finger and squints. “This isn’t the ring Dian gave me. I gave that to Cecily. Two years after the incident I was able to marry again. My daughter is grown up and pursuing her goals. For the time being, I’ve asked them not to contact me. Three years is a long time, I understand, but I don’t have the strength to face that part of me yet.”

So the way I interpreted this is that after 2 years of being a widow she remarried but to another person which is why she has another ring.

Is this right?

In one of her talk scenes, she says her mother told her that kitsune have one tail for each lover they'd had. With her basing her appearance off that version of a kitsune and having two tails, the implication is that she's had two lovers by this point. In a less roundabout way: yes, you're right. This will actually be explored in her Familiarity 50+ content which, if I recall that doc correctly and nothing has changed much since I read it, goes something like this:
At some point, Bianca will suddenly start distancing herself from Steele, who has to confront her about this. When this happens, she reveals that she's starting to have romantic feelings towards them but doesn't want to because both of her previous marriages ended in tragedy and is afraid the same thing will happen with Steele, too. As part of this, she reveals how her second marriage went down:
Her second husband kidnapped Cecily and forcefully bimbofied her, sending Bianca videos of the process and aftermath. Both of them were later killed during a Peacekeeper raid on the place he was hiding out in.
Because of her traumatic experiences, she fled to Rush Space 14 to get away from her past, and kept her second wedding ring in an attempt to pretend that everything was still fine. Steele eventually convinces her to throw away the ring and move on with her life, and at 100 Familiarity she accepts her love for Steele and gets a third tail to represent this.

As far as the player can become aware, she's currently married. The ring she's wearing per the extant content is her second husband's ring, who is unnamed.

That said,

I must apologize for my silence and absence. I'm afraid my productivity for the month of July was the lowest this year. Briefly talked about it on the public discord. It's a bit unfortunate that TiTS didn't see much this month, but Fen's clearing the review pile and I don't foresee it getting so backed up again from here on, so hopefully that'll clear his head for the future. The Javascript port upcoming has also been a focus for the staff, outside of writing and coding.

As for me, my few weeks of inactivity can only be described as needing to get a few things out of my system. I should start picking back up again soon. It wasn't exactly a time of rest, but after two years of non-stop work and coordination I needed some time to be no-one.

On the other hand, I obtained some new art, and I've updated Leila's and Riley's art albums with them. Waru-geli finished coloring the last three of my Mr. Pink commissions featuring Leila in three varying positions, and Noburuu reached out to me after nearly a year and did another take on Riley. His first one of her from 2019 is what I consider her nonpareil depiction, so it was wonderful to receive a rear shot.

Thank you, I remembered Bianca being a widow and being single and then doubted it when I read that one part in the 'Family' talk scene.
