A Cleaned Slate & Breeding Season
Since last week, I have cleaned the slate and finished old overdue, backlogged Patron-voted scenes from a long, long time ago, capstoned with the completion of the Penny Roleplay Ambush scenario available in the (a4) document. It turned into the very epitome of scope creep and that made it difficult to finish out, especially these days with a lot of other mounting pressures, but I'm happy to be done with it and to be making more clear, defined progress.
My attention fully turns to the first expansion of the Zheng Shi Ops Deck. Nonesuch is my rock these days; his friendship and cooperation is extremely vital to sparking a new revolution in me. He's just returned from a trip this past Monday, and we're working together on content for the upcoming Jumper-centric document, with him providing edits and guidance, as well as a few scenes for the Shock Hopper, or Vanika.
I was able to convince him to write something for the PC's getting sugar mommy'd by her the way LDC was. A small spoiler: he's been discarded by the bunny leader, and that vacancy can be occupied by an equally boyish and well-endowed PC. A handful of other scenes are in the works right now to play around with the pirate queen - she is a vehement powerbottom for those dommy players out there, always goading.
As mentioned before, this upcoming content features the conclusion of Sophora's initial "nemesis" arc. All of that has been written already, and there will be one more expansion to follow containing new sex scenes and a side-adventure. There will be an extensive and vigorous procreative marathon available in the Jumper quarters for players in Rut or Heat (or both) as well as a variety of various scenes throughout their rooms, like Zero-G lasciviousness or making explicit bets at the gun range.
I said I would be working on Kura pregnancy too. It's going to be a slow dabbling for the time being until a few more events are written in the aforementioned Jumper + Vanika + Sophora doc, but it will be done.
A warm thank you to the very patient and generous supporters whom I have kept waiting so long for old promises. As I've said before, I won't stop until I make things right.

Quick heads-up: The links to your commissioned art albums are broken. Imgur must've wiped them.
RIP Einen, but I can understand completely why you'd switch to TiTS full-time, I'm pretty sure Wsan came to a similar crossroads a while ago before he shifted to CoC2. At any rate, it's great that you're getting back into the swing of things, your contributions are beyond invaluable to the game; I legitimately can't imagine how the future of TiTS would look in your absence.
I hope things continue on an upswing in your personal life too; honestly I'd have understood completely if you needed to continue to step away from the community to get to a better headspace. We've seen so many writers just vanish without a trace, that you came back to let us know what was going on at all is greatly appreciated.

The albums are fine, the links haven't changed at all; however, you appear to be having a problem that several on the official discord server had where the albums aren't loading. I can't access the albums on an incognito window so maybe you just need to be logged in.
edit: After some investigating it appears to be true. Only the uploader's account (in this case, mine) can still see the albums and files - a purge that isn't exactly a purge, basically. A new image host is needed so for the time being I'll just use Dropbox. Gedan might set up something similar to Imgur in the future which will be perfect for a small handful of albums from us.
edit2: Album links updated to Dropbox. The albums also need updating with some new images soon, so I'll get around to that after some recent pics get colored in a few weeks. I'll also probably set up syncing folders for albums but I'm going with the quick and dirty way for now.

This week's progress report is brief. Not to mention, a specter of a past housing issue came back last night.
The upcoming ZS Expac doc acquired a few more pages and most of last week was spent editing it with Nonesuch for quality assurance. It's made a huge difference. I didn't do as much writing in this period but what's important is that there's a sense of collaborative spirit rekindling in all this and I feel like a lot of the old memories are coming back to me. If that makes sense, ha ha.
Last week too, as you've seen, Imgur went into a silent purge of sorts so I moved all my art albums to Dropbox. That's all well and taken care of now, but I feel it important to talk about the contracting of the 'freelance artist sphere', as I call it, or the sphere of work-for-hire artists who all gravitate towards twitter. Upcoming changes by Elon are making it impossible to send DMs to users unless you are both following each other, or you, the sender, are a subscriber. If this is implemented it's likely that future art will dry up almost completely; if it's implemented I foresee a lot of nihilism and stress that will cause a massive diminishment of the talent pool.
In other words, I don't think you'll be seeing many new art pieces and new blood coming in, and that is very disappointing. Another thing that I did not mention in my previous explanation for nine months of silence is that I've also, rather abruptly, had my fair share of artists suddenly vanishing off the internet or failing to call back. Worse: I've been effectively robbed at least two times in 2023, with a rotten commission only happening once in 2021. No less than five artists have either dropped communications entirely for no good reason, consistently failed to deliver the expected quality and thus canceled, or just went traceless into the void. At least two of them I built a very strong rapport with and it still weighs on me. The sheer stress from this has been intolerable.
Things have to change for the better, sooner or later. As always, thank you very much for your patience and support. Stay tuned for more.

I've received a gentle outpouring of support in private recently, and to those who've reached out, you are all truly wonderful.
Things have been slow since last week. At the start of the weekend, felt trucked by a lot of shit and just slept most of the last few days. I've also posted the upcoming Vanika/Sophora Resolution/Jumper Quarters doc to the Private Patreon folder. The doc contains the full quest sequence for Sophora and of course contains spoilers. It also contains everything else up to this point.
In the last meeting we talked about staggering the implementation of this doc out over several patches and I've taken care of planning that out. All that's left is just to write more sex scenes, some of which got off the ground this week.

When we get the end to the Sophora nemesis arc, do you think we will get a way to reset her for those of us who removed her in her current state.
If by this you mean undoing the permanent solution (either or), then I'm afraid not. I never intended to have her deactivated then activated again due to her being an experimental addition to the game that I knew would ruffle a few feathers. That said, Fen has been preparing to release the Psionic class soon and more than a few people will likely start up a new save.

Start of Summer
Most of my last week was spent working on the house: installing new doors, assembling and replacing new furniture, and dealing with another (but mercifully smaller) garage flood. I'm still riding a caffeine high that started with the past weekend, and as such I have even less to mention at the moment other than a modicum of new words and a brief mention of what the plans are going into July.
As previously mentioned, we've hashed out what to implement and in what order for the upcoming xpac doc. Ideally, the first week of July will see the first, base implementation, and each week after will have the next addition and so forth until it's complete, and we'll add on whatever else makes it through the coding pipeline as it comes around. This is not all I will be working on for July, of course.
I would also like to begin the Patron's monthly scene voting again, and emphasize it to be as brief as the mini commission scenes I did last year to help support my down payment at the time. It will follow the usual formula: I'll make a post and request ideas for a scene to write over three days, and then there will be a vote over the next three days to determine what should be done. It will be completed within the same month. Depending on how it goes, I'll be adjusting if more needs to be done, i.e. multiple smaller scenes instead of just one, so that the value will be there.
Thank you for your patience and continued support, and please look forward to what comes next.

There will not be, but I'm also not saying she can't get pregnant because she is certainly not suffering from the sterility plague.
The night of July 4th was suitably loud and bright and in the past week I have prepped the first chunk of the Jumper Quarters & Sophora etc doc for the ZS Ops Deck to be implemented which will hopefully happen this week, but either way there'll be a chunk of it coming out each week of July. The first week will contain a myriad of light, repeatable encounters with the ordinary Jumpers and some with their Officers - I was also reminded that the Slave Suit xpac on ZS still does not include the three Anal scenes I wrote months ago so ideally they will get coded first and be ready to implement alongside this first chunk.
Next week will have Vanika's personal sex scenes added. The week after will have Sophora's personal quest implemented, and the last chunk will contain a variety of misc scenes; the Breeding Marathon will come in the third or final week.
I want to build myself back up again, and I'm doing my best to achieve that. As always, thank you for your patient support of myself and of the TiTS Project. You are all truly wonderful.

She's the Shock Hopper/leader of the Laquine Jumper on Zheng Shi that you fight on the Sidewinder.
Oh thanks, definitely looking forward to more of her content. I don't know why I thought her name was Shock Hopper.
Nothing to knock yourself for, she's currently not a repeatable NPC and doesn't have a name in what scenes are currently implemented.
However, that does bring me to an impromptu update on a change in plans in TiTS development...
Wednesdays are meeting days and typically I will post an update following the get-together but events from yesterday had me thinking, deeply troubled, that I need to get this out of the way sooner rather than later.
Concerns were raised about Sophora's quest and resolution, and in short, it cannot be incrementally added in the coming weeks as I had hoped. That's not all, as other concerns were raised about Vanika and the follow-up to post-probe ZS. What this means is that Sophora's quest will not be added to the game and due to the present uncertainty about Vanika & the rest of the document, the entire project is now in stasis. I am not deleting it, of course, and I'll be sure to tell you if there are any changes in what's to come on this topic.
I'll likely move to help Savin with Phaedra II scenes for the immediate future and be writing weekly reports on that and have the relevant docs posted when the details are hashed out.
As for the monthly voted scene (Breast Massage won, which is fascinating), I will, at the very least, start it this weekend.
Honestly, I feel bad for you. I hope you're feeling atleast somewhat well.
I wish you the best of luck.
Nooooooooooooo the bunnies </3
While its a shame about the bunny content, which is still some of my favourite stuff in TiTS, I've liked pretty much all your writing so looking forward to what else you end up writing!

So...Sophora is abandoned? And Zheng Shi? Just like that? Because someone in the meeting didn't like your work??
It's a shame that you spent so much hard work for it to be thrown away
, especially with the utter lack of content in TiTs recently.
OK I'm sorry but I'm just gonna blurt this out: that is fucking bullshit.
If it's not too much trouble can you share exactly why all your hard work got thrown into the trash bin? Because for the life of me I can't think of any reason why they would shoot you down like this.
You just have to love an employer that realizes that they don't like your work when it's in its final stages and not a moment sooner! Really shows how good they are at leading and sharing their vision with their team.
I get what you're saying but let's at least wait until we hear the exact reason for all this before we go for the torches and pitchforks here.
I just want to say, Azra's blowjob scene is one of my favourite scenes in the game.
Idk man I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that this isn't as bad as it sounds.
Well the progress with the bunnies is being shelved for now as Will said so he doesn't have to lose all the work he has done so far. I'm hoping it's just a simple clash of where things they want to go in the area is clashing and that Will will just need to adjust some stuff to work with things.
No, you don't get what I'm saying. The project lead/supervisor/whatever, that only realizes that they don't like your work when it's close to being done, isn't good at their job. I don't need to hear the reason on why William's project got scrapped. It might even be a very valid one.
The people in charge in FenCo should just have come to this conclusion much, much sooner.
