January Report 2026 (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

After wrapping up the Kuroinu project (opiumud045), the next one is a story based on the game Nikke, with Scarlet as the female lead.This time, it's a short pure-love story.

I'm treating this project as a buffer/breather before diving into the next full Kuroinu script. While working on it, I'll also be planning the script, dialogue, storyboards, etc., for the upcoming Kuroinu installment.

If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to release a teaser trailer for the Nikke animation next month.

For now, I can share the insert song from the Nikke animation.The reason it's in Korean is because Scarlet's story draws inspiration from a classic Korean folktale (the character Hongryeon from "The Story of Janghwa and Hongryeon"), so I wrote the lyrics in Korean.꽃무십일홍(No Red Flower Lasts Ten Days)https://open.spotify.com/track/6MH1EprNY52JSC58QHqLph?si=ae45b9bba6664c6aHere are the download links:Korean lyricsEnglish lyrics + English song versionChinese lyrics + Chinese song versionhttps://mega.nz/folder/6hNywZ7B#0TViOjQm6BJJjJKXWuBApgI've now set up two Spotify artist profiles/channels.opiumud spotify channel (NSFW tracks and all my animation theme/insert songs.)https://open.spotify.com/artist/28fty7fF920zxJd6R4LLxO?si=FnxI0NSFTPO1V_uB75w-9AOpalume spotify channel(The Opalume channel features mostly refreshing songs — or ones with an artistic vibe.)https://open.spotify.com/artist/3NpyvZOBlxZuuIPGGqHfE3?si=G2QdN5QEReu37PjjTPqX-gThe main one, opiumud, is focused on insert songs from my animations and the custom HMV tracks I've made.

I'm also planning to run a monthly vote in my Discord channel — everyone can nominate their favorite game or anime female characters. The one that wins gets a full song dedicated to her, which I'll then turn into an HMV video.

This way, while everyone's waiting for my next big animation release, you can still join in the fun, vote, and stay engaged/interactive with me. It won't eat up too much of my animation production time either.

Plus, the new animation songs can help promote and hype up the actual animations. More people will discover and listen to the theme songs and inserts from my work — and if they love them, they can save/add them to their playlists.

Over time, this will make my animations feel even more professional. Adding inserts at the right moments can really capture a character's inner feelings or set the perfect scene mood.

The HMV visuals are all edited to match the lyrics perfectly too — like how the "cum cum cum" HMV for Alicia got a ton of love and recognition from everyone.

Because of Spotify's content review rules, not every track can go up there (some are too explicit), so I'll upload all the full/unrestricted songs directly into my Discord for you guys.

Thanks for the support — let's keep building this together! 😼"

Feel free to tweak it (add emojis, links to your Spotify/Discord, or make it shorter/longer). If you want a more formal version or one with specific calls-to-action (like "Vote starts this weekend!"), just let me know. Good luck with the monthly votes — sounds like a killer way to boost engagement! 🚀
