Happy Holidays~! Monthly Renders - December 2025 (Patreon)

Good morning Citizens,

It's December, so it's that time again where we reflect on how we did for this year. For me, I think my mood has been much healthier this year compared to previous years (slightly less suicidal, etc.). I think it's a good sign that I'm getting better. The stress isn't as bad this time compared to before, perhaps because I've been trying to just focusing on my other priorities outside of SL. Of course, because of this, SL has taken a huge hit. SL did not perform well this year. I understand this, of course. We haven't been pumping out updates as much as before. My time and motivation has taken a plunge, and I do feel like there are a lot of days where I'm staring at a blank screen and not knowing what I want to write/do. I go through these phases a lot actually, usually when I'm trying to write "serious" stuff but I feel like this year has been the worse to have these moments. That is why I do feel like I need to write silly side scenes because they are always fun to work on.

Some positives for this year is that I do feel like my skill in KK has improved significantly. I also feel like my coding skills has improved from the classes I've been taking. I take a look at my older stuff and I think about how I could have done to make it look better. One of my goals last year was to focus on making scenes longer so that we can have less grinding and more story and I think it was a success. Some other goals I want to do for next year are to have another update on Scarlet Trainer (I kinda wanna just revamp the entire fucking game to be honest. I don't like the current UI) and just try to have more of consistent schedule (but this might be impossible). To be clear, I'm not really doing anything outside of class/SL, so yeah... same old nothing for me (barely any games, no social life, no bad habits). It's just been kind of hard to motivate myself lately to work. It just feels like, sometimes, I'm staring at a blank screen, or I'm looking at something I worked on but I delete everything because I don't like what I have etc. I don't know if things will get better, but I hope it does. I do want to work on Scarlet Trainer again, soon-ish, but not anytime soon. My main goal is to just try to get an update done at least every 2 months... This last update took 3 months and I'm very disappointed in myself, but I was crazy busy.

Semester starts at Jan 12th, so I will be trying is to get as much done as possible for SL 0.4.2. We'll be entering brainstorming phase, and will be working on Viera scene. This was a scene that I had before the reboot (and it had great reception) but I will of course be adding a twist. I think she's one of my more fun characters to work on, but I know that a lot of people may not like her give your history with her. There's a part of me that regrets taking classes because it has greatly affected SL, but I need to do this to move forward with my life and hopefully return to "normal". I don't know if I can return to "normal" anymore, but we'll see. Maybe it is my fate to just work on h-games, but I don't know, we're just not making enough for me to say I can do this full-time anymore. That's the most painful part, because I do feel like working on SL is the only fun i really have anymore. I don't do anything else besides work on SL on my free time, except sports and occasionally games.

Anyway, as always, thank you so much for your support. I do apologize for a disappointing year. It's not up to my standard. I know we all miss monthly updates. I'm just becoming swamped with life. See you all next year.
