#99 - @AvaAfterDark (Patreon)

Hello again, Rumi here!

A small preamble today.

First up, England are through to the Quarter-Finals!!! What an incredible game that was. Mexico are a brilliant team, and for us to overcome them at their home ground... it was a game to remember, that's for sure.

The final thing is this: The RumiGames Starter Guide

I've known for a while that Patreon's layout alone isn't exactly great for pointing people in the direction they want to go. Especially when I have multiple projects, render sets, polls, and more on offer at any one time. This is where the Starter Guide comes in. This should be your one-stop shop for identifying where the content you're after is located.

That's it for today; on to Rumi Ramblings (TM):

GAMES! I've put a small amount of time into Octopath Traveller, and I'm enjoying it. The idea of intertwining eight unique characters' stories together is interesting, but I'm not quite sold on its implementation. I've yet to progress very far, but it seems to be like the eight stories are pretty detached, despite the fact they're travelling together.

ANIME! Once again, I've watched ZERO anime. I did, however, receive a recommendation to watch Yuusha-oh Gaogaigar, so thank you for that. I've added it to my watchlist :)

MOVIES! With the World Cup, work, and life stuff, I haven't had all that much time for the world of cinema. That being said, I did get to watch Man on the Moon featuring Jim Carrey. Exploring the life of the late comedian Andy Kaufman, it details how he tried to blend his comedy and his daily life into one harmonious thing. It's not a perfect movie, but I found the way it was told sort of moving. I'd reccommend it.

Anyway, enough rambling for one day, onto the work:

Naughty Tail

With the recent release of V0.3.5, there's nothing much to say here this week!

Dream Corruption

Marin's encounter has been fully scripted, coming out to a total of 55 pages. Once again breaking the record for my longest encounter yet. I've also fully designed Marin's room, based loosely on her room in the Anime. It took a while to get looking how I wanted, but I feel it'll benefit the story in more ways than one :)

I'm aiming for a 19th July release date, but with the size of this update, that's subject to change. You'll know a definitive date by next post.

Sinful Valley

V0.4.1 is shaping up to be massive. This week alone, I've fully implemented both a new Asumi NSFW scene and a new Karen NSFW scene. With the change in schedule for this project, I'm aiming to get another Karen scene, the SFW section of Claire's Beach Date, and a couple of QoL changes in before it's Early Access release on the 17th!

OnlyClicks

I'm sure you've all been wondering what the title of this post is all about.

So it's time I tell you about OnlyClicks.

OnlyClicks is a small project I've been working on, centring around an up-and-coming content creator called Ava. She starts shy and lacking in confidence, but as you help her progress through the ranks, she breaks out of her shell. Eventually becoming one of the top OnlyClicks stars, and creating some of the most exclusive content on the platform ;)

The premise is simple. Clicking generates followers, followers generate subscribers, and subscribers unlock rewards. You can upgrade your camera to increase followers per click, or add auto posters to generate followers per second automatically. Once you obtain enough subscribers, Ava will unlock a new render, background, outfit, or animation.

Unlike my main titles, this project will be very small and release in a completed state. It will also facilitate the addition of Patreon Reward Codes. These will be available to anyone on the Supporter Tier (£5) or above, and will allow you to access exclusive outfits. For now, this will only include the Hoodie & Panties outfit for Ava.

That's everything for today, thanks for reading until the end! Ping me on Discord if you have any questions; I'll try my best to answer :)
