Hi again. I am back with the first post of this month; and as you would expect, it is a review of the old polls, and an introduction to a few new ones. As for the old polls, one asked how you felt about my new lore page – and the few votes that were cast seem to like it; so I will call that a win. The second old poll asked about voiced animations, and unsurprisingly, most people prefer them… and I will see about that fairly soon. The last poll asked about which of my characters was your favorite; and there were not that many votes cast – but Zayla and Helenya were tied for first place, with Tabitha, Lucia, and Salune tied for second… Karen was in third with one vote – and I guess Faye is too new compared to the others, as she did not get any this time around. (Not many votes overall though.) Anyway, it is nice to see that the majority of my characters are appreciated; and I will attempt to drive up interest in the two that scored lowest whenever I can get back to making story sets… but that is a little ways off right now.

As for the new polls, there are only two this time, as one of them is massive; the first poll asks if you prefer more options in event scenes in adult game or instead prefer more detail, and less options. However, another very large older poll is also back; and it is the massive fetish poll! I did this over two years ago – and it is now time to see what has changed if anything; so do vote for your top SEVEN (7) favorite fetishes from all the ones listed! There are all the ones from last time, with a few new ones – I tried to include all fetishes that I would do (or have already done) and a few others that I am considering; with only a couple that I either can’t or won’t do purposely left out.

As for what else is going on, I am still sorting through all this voice work while also trying to get one other new thing sorted… we will see what happens in the next week or so – I should be back with some sort of update if nothing else next week. So in the mean time, definitely vote in the new polls and let me know what your favorite options are!

Hi again. I am back with the first post of the month – which has the usual new poll info and the previous poll results. (And some very recent bad news – I was ready to post the new polls last night until that second bomb dropped and pushed this back into today.)

Last month, there were three polls – the first asked how dark you prefer your adult content; and unsurprisingly most people leaned towards the dark end of the spectrum offered. Nobody said they preferred cuddly content, but there were a few scattered votes for semi-consensual and lighter options; and those will still be done from time to time. However, it should be rather obvious at this stage that I tend to work somewhere within the mid-dark area here; so the S/M sexual slavery option, leaning a bit on either end of it at times. (Most people voted for that, so that is good.) The second poll asked how you all feel about micro adult games – and most of you say it totally depends; with a few votes in favor… and none explicitly against. I will keep this in mind – I have a few ideas regarding this that I hope to work on next year sometime… if I can get the time/interest to warrant it. The last poll asked if I should make a demo of this new game, and all votes were for yes; though there were only a third as many votes here as the top poll for some reason – so I am not quite sure how to take that. (I will see about this later.)

There are also the new polls – there are three again. The first is a returning old poll which asks about your breast size preference in adult content. The second asks how you feel about established characters changing hairstyles – likely not permanently, but at least temporarily. And the last poll is just a fun poll asking which of the options given would be your ideal christmas present. (I wanted to do another special poll this month, but almost nobody voted in the last one; so I am not going to bother.) Preferably vote in those and let me know what you think about all that.

In addition to those polls, there is also a mini-set poll for my mid-level patrons up on my Patreon page – to decide the contents of this month’s mini-set; which will be open for another two weeks (until the 18th) if anyone is interested.

As for the bad news… that is twofold. First, I am sure most of you have already heard about tumblr’s upcoming policy change banning porn as of December 17th; which is all kinds of upsetting. However, when blogger (google) announced something similar in the past, they went back on it (rather quickly too) – so we will see if this actually comes to pass. (If google backed off, I can’t imagine tumblr will actually do it; that would be akin to sinking their own ship – as porn is mostly what tumblr is used for from what I know.) Worst case, I have my site here already; this is of course much more damaging for people who only have/use tumblr – but it is disappointing none the less.

Second, I was just told last night around 8 PM that the voice work I arranged for back in August – and have been waiting almost five months for… is no longer going to be done; as the voice actress apparently has better things to do all of a sudden – and no longer wants to bother with my project(s). I am not going to get into how completely unprofessional and downright cruel this is to do to someone after agreeing to do it and making them wait for almost five months; and I suppose it is partly my fault for being so nice – and constantly waiting and putting up with excuses… but this is still all kinds of disappointing/depressing. (This is why I try to do everything myself; I only get outside assistance when absolutely necessary.) I have already not been having a great time recently (due to assorted factors); and my motivation for all this was already really low – this was a shotgun blast to the back that I did not need at all. Of course I attempted to contact her again to try and get her to reconsider, but a full day later I have not gotten any response whatsoever; so things are likely going to stay as they are now. (I do not think that I can trust her anymore anyway after this – even if she does change her mind; but it was worth a try.)

I already had talks with another voice actress fall through last month; which was bad enough – but this really screws me quite a bit. Of course, the voice work was far from critical – and I will have to look into finding a replacement soon enough; but this is still shocking to just have happen all of a sudden when I had no doubts before now… as far as I knew, everything was fine. Sorry to disappoint some/all of you in the short term; but I promise none of you feel as bad about this as I do – with me having written probably over a hundred emails and wasted countless hours (probably days) composing those as well as various scripts (and checking voice tests) over the past several months.

I don’t know what I will be able to get done these next few days anymore – I feel genuinely sick right now for all sorts of reasons and I just  cannot do anything useful at the moment… I will see how things are in another day or two. I will do the best that I can, but things are not going well at all right now; and this new development is almost certainly going to affect things. Despite progress on this new game being way behind what I was hoping for, I was still confident in all this until last night when I read that email. I hope to be back next week or so with some other update or something… I do not know what/when exactly.

Hi again. I am back with the poll results from last time and some new polls as mentioned last night – as well as a small status update. One quick note: as I said last month, the mini-set list for my Patreon page reset as of this month – so only the most recent three will be available when rewards go out in a week and a half or so. I will try to list the retired mini-sets on my oronjo shop as soon as I can; but I have been very busy as I mentioned last time.

As for the results from the old polls; the first poll asked what type of adult game you preferred. Most people seem to prefer RPG and/or Action/adventure games – as those tied for first place. Visual novels and simulation games tied for second place after that with half as many votes – with a couple votes for puzzle and casino style games at the bottom. As far as the top options: Action/adventure is the one I am least confident in my ability to do well – I have seen many, many crappy Japanese beat-em-up type games with jerky animations and awkward fighting… and I doubt I could do any better at this stage; this is probably the thing I am least likely to try any time soon… but I will look into it for possible future use. RPGs on the other hand I do really want to try, (and I think I could do rather well) but I am not at a point where I can devote enough time/effort into making a decent one; so hopefully I will get to try that a bit later on. Visual novels and simulations I of course have done one of each so far; with one more simulation game in the works right now; so we will see how that works out. (I plan to make another VN after this current game I am working on – like not right after, but in terms of the next game to be made at some point.)

The second previous poll asked what you thought about music in adult games – and many of you seem to think it could be really great if done well. with a few scattered votes below that for the “meh” options; so its about 50/50 with people who care and people who don’t. I want to try and either make some music for my future games myself or possibly hire a professional to do it; but again, this is not something I can really say will happen particularly soon unless I just happen upon someone. The final poll from last time asked about pregnancy in adult games, and most of you seem to be either very or mostly positive about the idea, with a few votes in the “meh” or negative area. This is something I want to include in some future games if I can get the time to do it; but doing it well would be a complex mess and take a lot of time that I do not think I can spare at the moment… but we will see what happens. (This was one of many ideas/features that I am considering implementing in the future.)

So then there are the new polls; the first one is a returning old poll that asks how dark you prefer your adult content – fairly self explanatory. The second poll asks how you feel about “micro” adult games; which is to say adult games with an hour or less of total content, regardless of type. And the final poll for this month asks if I should try and make a demo for my upcoming game as well – which is also self explanatory. So let me know about all those!

Finally, we have a small status update; I am still working on event scenes for the new game – as well as trying to arrange some new voice work. Patreon rewards for this month will likely go out around the 13th or so; I want to really try and get some little playable beta thing for some of my Patrons, now that I have some event images to warrant doing so. There also will be a special mini-set poll for my mid-level patrons next month for the December mini-set; to help decide part of it. (I also posted a special Halloween image for all my patrons late on the 31st featuring Helenya.) For those of you that made it this far, keep in mind that I plan to freely release LITC 1 at some point in the near future – I won’t say when exactly. (I may also post one of those event scene previews from last month on here soonish.) I will see what else I can get done in the next week or so; I have several things that I am working on finishing right now – so a lot of other small things might also pop up if things finally pan out a bit in one of several ways. Anyway… I hope to be back here soon with something; so we will see what happens!

Hi again. Sorry for this being a couple days late, but the past week has somehow been even worse than the previous three. In addition the the migraines I have had for weeks already, now the humidity/barometric pressure is so weird that my ears are popping/clogging all the time – so my hearing is coming and going as well now. I am doing what I can, but this is all making things far more difficult than they should be – I have basically shifted my schedule back several hours to try and get more time after the heat dies down to get things done. (General work as well, not just work on this project; as things are at their worst mid-day.) This has of course screwed all my plans recently, (along with other assorted setbacks…) for real life and this – but hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

Anyways – I have the old poll results, as well as the new polls posted! For the old polls – the first asked about post frequency vs content; and most seem to prefer a balance… or just more frequent posts. So I will do what I can to get back to that as soon as all the factors involved permit me to do so. The second poll asked about achievements in adult games – and unsurprisingly, most people said they would be in favor of them; so I will consider that for this new game and/or future ones. The last poll was just a fun poll asking what you would do with Helenya if she visited you – and to no-one’s great surprise, most people said they would fuck her and/or be fucked by her until they pass out. 😀

The new polls are also up for around a month – and it’s September once again so the first is a SPECIAL POLL checking who should star in the fourth anniversary mini-set! As before, characters who have already starred in one are not choices again – so it is between Karen, Faye, Lucia, and Tabitha this time. Vote for your favorite, and early next month I will have the results; and hopefully the mini-set itself soon after – and remember, more votes will likely translate into a larger/better mini-set! So everybody make sure to vote. 🙂 The second poll is asking if you would be interested in random other details about characters… this is more related to the new game, but also perhaps to my characters page as well. (I meant this to check as to how much extra info I should have for random slaves in the new game, but if the results are strongly in favor of it – I might also expand the characters page a bit later.) The final poll just asks how you feel about condoms in adult content – pretty self explanatory. So let me know about all that stuff!

As for updates on the new game, I have a bunch of basic side/info screens functioning as far as tests will tell; but I am still testing/working out the main thing I need – getting the character switching to work fully/properly. I think I have it now, but I need to really test this more and make sure there are no weird glitches or anything – and this is all the more difficult with all the headaches I have had from the crap weather over the last month. I hope to begin renders for the actual scenes and such soon – but we will see what happens. I am more or less where I planned to be a bit over a month in – and getting the base code set is the most important thing for a game; as this cannot really be changed out later without causing all sorts of issues. I hope to get this finally situated over the coming weekend, but things have not been going according to plan at all this past month, so we shall see. I hope to be back early next week with another update… we will see what happens before then.
