September News Update (Patreon)

While the month is almost over, it's still September, and thus it's the September news update! Yay! For those who are subscribed, there's an audio version of the post. It's basically the exact same thing, although I mixed together some ambience for it. Autumn's here, it's cool out, rainy, and windy. The sound of the wind through trees in autumn always makes me feel super comfy.

Now, on to the news post!

I still want to use my vr headset to make these into a video at some point, but my physical energy has been really bad lately. I was hoping to get my hands on the new steam frame before I leapt back into doing videos, since it weighs so much less than my index. Of course the real answer is that I keep working out and get back in shape like I was four years ago.

Let's start by discussing the less interesting housekeeping activities. Shortly after the month rolls over, I'll refresh the archive passwords again. Here's your warning that for $5 and up tier patrons, you'll need to get a new password from discord.

Next, I've properly brought my assistant on, and they've been chipping away at various projects. For now this falls under the 'less interesting' category, because they're largely just taking care of helping me upkeep the non-creative side of things, starting with helping me prepare my stream vods and schedule them, as well as crossposting old releases to newgrounds, spotify, and pornhub.

I know that interests some of you that want more of my SFW audio available, since it'll be easily accessible on spotify.

Once we're fully caught up on all of the upkeep I've let languish, I'll be having them help me with more interesting tasks, which I'll cover more in depth in the future once we've started on that.

Next, I want to remind everyone again that I've been taking questions through Marshmallow anonymously. You can, of course, just post them here too if you want, but I know that people value privacy. I got a big load of questions sent to me last time I mentioned it, and I'm planning on doing some mailbag type stuff in the near future with them. I'm very happy that I only got like, one or two really shitty or creepy messages this time.

Now, before I move on to talking about actual projects, I want to talk about personal things a bit. I don't typically like bringing this stuff up, because I feel whiny. I know most people aren't going to look at it that way, but it's how I was raised. Just stay quiet. Tough it out. Don't acknowledge it. Deal with it, it'll get better. There's some things that's true about, and some things that it isn't.

I took a break from social media and discord starting this week, and it's going to extend a bit into the start of October. I've largely been just unplugging from everything, minus the occasional check-in, and communicating with others for the sake of work. I've been using this time to lock in and get some work projects done, as well as tending to myself and taking care of real life things I've been ignoring.

Things like trying, yet again, to see doctors about ADHD. I managed to get with one that seems to be taking me serious, and we've moved on to the testing stage. I went and finally found another primary care physician as well, since my insurance changed and I lost my last one. I am, unfortunately, the kind of person who gets tripped up by a minor setback and then just gives up and loses a bunch of progress. It almost feels like losing a save file in a game and then just dropping it.

Anyway, if I can actually start to manage my physical and mental care better, something I haven't done in a long time, I think I'll be better about being consistent with releasing audios. I've really worn myself down over the past 5 years. I genuinely enjoy what I do, of course, but no matter how much you enjoy something, you can still wear yourself out. If I can get my ADHD situation sorted, take care of my dental stuff, and get moving in the right direction again with fitness, I think I'll be doing pretty well, and it should reflect in my work.

On a final personal note, there's one thing that has been getting worse for me, and it's something that I can't just fix. I've always had tinnitus to some degree, but at the start of the year a doctor had me try strattera for my ADHD and it fucked me up big time. Ever since then, my tinnitus has been worse. I'd say, before all of that, I had it maybe 25% of the time. Now, it's probably 70 to 80% of the time. I want to ask again, if you hear bad noises in my audios, please let me know. Not necessarily slight bumps or knocks, but actually bad noises, things that are shrill, or the buzzing of line interference, stuff like that. I literally can't hear some of these any more, unless I happen to be recording while my tinnitus has subsided.

Now let's move on to projects! I talked about a lot of things I was working on last time, and many of them are still in planning or production. As I said before, everything is subject to my mood and energy, which I'm hoping gets smoothed out if I can get my ADHD treated. If you're worried about whether or not I've forgotten something, don't worry. I haven't. Part of why I make these news posts is for my own benefit, because I am such an easily distracted person. Not only does it give you some ideas of things to look forward to, it gives me something to go back to and be like, 'ah, right, I wanted to do this!'

So first up, let's touch base briefly on what I covered last time. Hisame and Wolf MILF Knotting are both still on the way. Hisame's the first up on my list, since I want to stagger the taker audios a bit. I got a few other things, mostly unplanned, done since the last news post, plus the alien script from Fleur.

I've been continuing to chip away at Safi's script, which is almost done, and I've got Pride doing her art, so that's on the short list too. Again, after I do more giver pov things, like the dragon MILF and fox priestess. I also finished the inquisitor's script! Though I haven't touched the orc MILF since I last posted about it, aside from sending a character design concept to Pride.

A return to the massage parlor is still on the list as well. I sent Pride something for the goth lamia, so expect to see her back, in addition to Mercuria and the other new girls I teased last time.

Fleur also sent me a few more scripts over the recent months. I also complained to her about my issues with writing the western lamia girl from a while back, and she offered to help try to do that for me.

I've got a couple other Lamia ideas kicking around in my head, one that takes past in the western part of the continent, and the swampy one I mentioned before.

I wrote down some more general concepts and ideas for the half-dragon lady I showed off, as well as the Vampire NEET and the Vampire Doctor.

I plan to incorporate Amalsandra, my black dragon girl, into the setting fully. I forget if I said that last time. No current ideas in that regard, other than needing to rewrite some of her lore to fit.

There's also a lich lady I was inspired to make, initially I just concepted her on a whim, but I've had more ideas for placing her in the setting. It's pretty obvious where she could go, if you think about it.

I think the last thing on my mind is a big, tall, chubby efreeti lady I've had sitting around a while waiting for me to do something with her... I've started to piece concepts together for her, and I sent Pride an art concept, I just need to decide where in the setting she is lore-wise.

Now, that's it for the major stuff. Let's talk side projects and smaller things. Once I get a few of these knocked out, I'll do some animation work again, and have my assistant help with editing. I also want to do more small audios, like the recent one with Brandy, as well as more of the Sasha lore audios. I spend a lot of time focusing on bigger narrative things, and I push aside smaller ideas because they don't quite fit some arbitrary length that I demand. But the more I think about it, the more I realize these smaller projects would be akin to an artist posting sketches. If I can't focus on a big project, maybe doing something small will help me keep things flowing.

I also want to do some kind of like 'behind the scenes building the world' type stuff. No real story, just me yapping and talking world stuff and maybe doodling on the map again.

Now, that's it for the main news about patreon works (aside from some art at the bottom of the post!), for off-site things, I've got a new live2d model cookin' for my vtubing, and I've been posting random horny art on twitter with Victoria and my friends. These are all free things, so I haven't posted them on Patreon. Check out my twitter and bluesky accounts if you want to see them! I also keep wanting to try YouTube again. I've been doing some research and I would like to try doing more SFW audios with ambient tracks in hopes that it kind of 'covers up' some of the things the censorship algorithm detects. I also have noticed that ASMR with visuals tends to get hit way, way less than just audio with a static image. We'll see what happens!

Anyway, I think that's everything for now. I know I've been quiet lately, but I am trying. I know things will get better, especially if I can get my ADHD treated. Thank you all for supporting me. I'm genuinely thankful to have you all here.
