Weekly Update (8-26-2024) (Patreon)

This month has been a pain for IRL stuff. >.>; Had something come up on friday that really cut into the weekend and left me fairly tired for the rest of it. I still made good progress, if not quite as much as I had wanted/hoped for. Still, things are rolling along. which is essentially the important part.

Length wise, this update is around 28,000 words so far. I'm still not 100% sure where the best point to break it will be, but there's a fair amount more for the current section before I decide on that. This month has definitely slowed me down a bit, but it could be a lot worse, so I'm not really unhappy with that. Hopefully the pace will pick up further if things stop deciding to be a nuisance even so, though.

One of the fun parts of this section has been making new formal outfits. I won't say who all I've done so far, but here's a preview of one:

Making new sprites (usually via splicing) is something I find fun. I don't know how many people notice them, but I think it's a worthwhile detail to add regardless. And I've always liked when games do this myself, as a player. Probably surprising no one, I also just love fancy outfits. XD

That aside, some fun discussions on the lore post last week. I'm thinking of trying out patreon's recommendations feature (which I can't use for adult creators, sadly) by pointing one at the writer of the history blog (A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry) that I mentioned there a few times, which I'll put up sometime this week if I decide to. One cool thing about the recommendation thing is that, at least on the backend, you can see who's recommended you.

Honestly, thinking about that made me think that there's probably some value in trying to network some with creators who create things that are likely to have a large overlap in audience appeal--perhaps more outside of the gaming space. Networking isn't really something I'm naturally inclined toward, but this is one case where the idea has more appeal. Anyway, something to think about. For now, back to work, haha.
