November Progress Report
In November I revived an old document from 2019 that will start laying more groundwork for Zheng Shi's final expansion. The project in question will add a new enemy to ZS, and perhaps beyond, as a nemesis for the player. Her content will be 100% hatesex oriented, lots of fighting, combativeness, and struggling beyond the combat encounter itself. I look forward to seeing the reactions to her, given that she embodies 'don't stick it in / take it from crazy' very well.
I finished a quite-long backlog of Patreon scenes and other small events during November as well, clearing up some of the pile. Between adding tens of thousands of words to the new enemy, and beginning again on what I hope to be Roo's last write-throughs, it was an alright month, getting back on track a little bit more each day in spite of what's been going on. I do not have any CoC2 news right now, but you can rest assured I'm always getting art of something for am just waiting for Savin to clear Einin for me.
That said, I did write a new non-smut scene for Etheryn on random request, where High Confidence Ryn will be able to start surprising the PC with a hug & kiss after clearing the Winter City portion of the main quest. I'm certain the elf lovers out there will love her taking the initiative and giving some affection back.
For December... well, it's the end of the year, isn't it. 2020 has come and gone, and I have no doubt there will be some jaw-dropping changes and surprises for all of us going through Christmas time. I'm still working on Roo and Leila... and I will be clearing up the 2020 Patreon Poll this month with the long-unvoted Raskvel boi femPC worship... and I am going to write a scene where Anno can leash the PC and take them for walkies. The PC will have a variety of options to be good or bad and be appropriately rewarded or punished.
Why has it been a drag lately? Transparency is important to me, and I'll go into some detail.
At the end of October 21st or the day after, I suffered a sudden panic attack. Just before bed, it struck me like a spike to the brain, and the wound got infected. It wasn't until mid-November that I realized my problems were worsening, particularly in light of my Mr. Pink stream where I spent the whole night in an empty malaise not seeing any value in... anything around me, really. I couldn't calm down enough to sleep and had an elevated heart rate. The attacks had become very frequent.
On the 10th, 12th, and 18th, I had a revolving door of appointments with doctors and specialists to get myself back under control. In the aftermath, the side effects from one of the medications has been totaling me for a good week and a half. Right now it just sedates me for about an hour early in my day but I feel quite energetic for the most part, and optimistic again. It's been extremely effective, and it coincided with my goal of getting on top of my health this year. I have yet another follow-up appointment tomorrow, in fact.
As always, thank you for your continued support. I know it's been slow, but we are on course. Not just from the 'getting writing done' side, but TiTS is going to make it to JS in due course, and there've been numerous UI updates and coding milestones that'll bring it to life. It'll essentially be a relaunch of the game, and it's super exciting. Lots of things will change for the better.
Take that to the bank!
