Game Devstory And Content Update (Patreon)

Hi!

I’m continuing my story about the development of games and other size‑difference content.

The post text is below, after the necessary introduction.

My goal is to make game development my main job: at least 375 active paid subscribers.

As of the publication of this post, I have 74 active paid subscribers.

New images can be found in the private folder.

The path to the folder with anime heroines:

The latest working build of “Erindale: The Code of Reality” is also located in the private gallery.

The link to the private gallery can be found in the pinned post on the home page for paid subscribers. See it in the Recent posts.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my endless thanks for supporting my activities to my general sponsors with the nicknames:

I feel like reflecting a little...

At the very beginning of my journey, I published two, sometimes even three images a day — and followers came to me. By the time of the first decline, there were about 180 of them. But back in those days, I had an assistant whom I trusted as much as myself. And secondly, I used a different technique for creating images (I considered that technique safe). I took pictures from open sources and drew tiny men on top of them.

And then it turned out that this could infringe on copyright.

It never even crossed my mind that I could stumble like that. I never wanted to violate anything — I simply didn't know. I had to urgently learn to draw by myself. The time spent learning ate into my posting frequency, and the drop in frequency ate into my followers.

Here is the pattern I see in my own statistics! The more content there is and the more often it comes out, the more followers I get. Less content — and the followers leave...

This pattern worked a second time, when I got serious about game development (I think it was in 2024). I was working on two games in parallel: Final Exam and Size Difference World. There was a lot of content, and the followers came back again. The peak almost matched the previous record...

And then life difficulties came, along with the realization that Size Difference World had turned out to be more complex than I thought. The content thinned out — and the followers thinned out with it.

The third time, the pattern is working right now. Hard times... The new visual novel is once again growing into something large-scale, there is less content — and fewer followers...

But here is what I've realized: if the formula works both ways, it can be used to my advantage. And I'm not giving up.

Developing a story-driven novel alone, without any writing experience, is very hard work. So, in parallel, I've started developing an action game set in the same size difference setting. Technically, action games come easier to me. Proof of that is my finished Final Exam. Yes, it didn't take off the way I hoped (most likely because of its old style). But the new game is being built on Unreal Engine, and it looks many times better.

And now — the thing that was worth reading all the way to this point! This week I taught the enemy girls in my new game to chase and attack the main character. The damage algorithm isn't ready yet, so the attack still looks a bit awkward. But next up is the damage-taking animation, and then the health system. Working on it...

Today I also updated the working build of Erindale: The Code of Reality — but I'll tell you about that separately, next time. The post has already turned out rather long anyway. The new build is in the private gallery. New images with random anime girls have also appeared there (in a different section). If you're really curious — take a look.

Thank you for staying with me. Your support is what keeps me going when it feels like nothing is working out.

P. S.

I sincerely apologize for the fact that the development is progressing too slowly and many promises made earlier have not been fulfilled. I always do everything I can. But I have to provide for my children, so I spend most of my time working three jobs. It’s very hard. I’m constantly thinking about how to speed up the game’s development. After all, many people criticize me precisely because the development is moving too slowly. Unfortunately, right now I don’t have any ideas on how to make my work faster. I need to work at least at one main job (instead of three) so that I can devote more time to the game. But at the moment, I can’t afford that… Please forgive me for repeating this again. It’s just that those who write to me keep bringing up this topic. Unfortunately, not everyone reads my previous posts.

My name is Helen, and I’m a single mother with two children, working three jobs at different factories.

Right now, I’m working on creating size‑difference content late in the evenings on weekends, because household chores and spending time with my children are a priority.

At the moment, I’m working alone, without any help. All I can rely on is my own strength and enthusiasm.

Please take the above into account and understand why the development is slower than I’d like it to be.

If anyone has any questions, I sincerely ask you to take a little time to read all my previous posts about game development. They contain answers to many questions. I simply physically can’t describe my entire story in every post. Thank you very much for your understanding.

I want to sincerely apologize to those whom I haven’t replied to in messages. I’m sorry, but I really have very little free time. No matter how hard I try to read all the messages, I physically can’t do it. There are too many messages! Most of them, unfortunately, contain hate, but sometimes it’s impossible to tell what they’re about until I open the message.

I read messages from followers on Patreon and Boosty first. Then, as far as possible, I read email and messages on other platforms. Sometimes it happens that I read a message, planning to reply later… but then I forget to do so. And on top of that message, many new messages come in, pushing it far down…

I really ask everyone, please don’t be offended with me if I haven’t replied to someone. I don’t do it on purpose, and not out of malice!
