January Patreon mini-set preview, status update!

2 Replies

Hey again. So as the title mentions, this month’s Patreon mini-set preview is below; this month features Zayla waking a sleepy little dragon so she can inspect his “assets”. The mini-set is service focused, with some oral and titsex and finally one special image at the end which goes a bit deeper. It is currently six images total, though that may go up as always. In a final warning; this is the first new mini-set of the next cycle: all $15+ pledges after next month’s rewards go out will only get this mini-set and the previous two. Mini-sets 1-26 will get locked off around the eighth of February; although I may put some way to get access to the old mini-sets at some point in the future. I made this set with a dragon because it ranked high on the last monster poll I did (and it is doing decently now) and I have been meaning to do something with one, so I finally did; hopefully everyone will like it.

In other news, a fancy new cock model made by fellow 3DX artist erogenesis has come out; and I of course bought it straight away. It is terribly nice, and barring a few minor issues due to my usage of Octane; it is everything I could want in a cock model. (With more to come!) The problem now is that I am unsure how to proceed in regard to the game I am working on. I will almost certainly replace Salune’s cock in the future, (the new model functions much better) and the almost half of the content I have already made uses her current cock. Not that there is anything wrong with what she has… but if I do replace it later, I really should redo all the scenes I have done already. (I already hope to add to this game after the base content is done and it would just be weird if the content did not match.) I could do it… I keep all my old scenes just in case of whatever; but it would take at least a solid week to redo all that at the minimum. Quality would theoretically go up, and I could fix some minor issues in a couple renders… but it would take much of the development time I was hoping for this month. Essentially I am still testing some stuff with the new model and hope to come to a conclusion here early next week… I will likely make a small post noting what I decide; though I am leaning toward redoing it.

Quick final note: there will be a patreon mini-set poll next month for mid level patrons and up to decide the topic of next month’s mini-set, if that interests you. I have a variety of topics on these polls, so they are a good way to get more of things you like. So if you want to support my work and/or get in on the old mini-sets before they are taken off the list, check my newly updated Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Patreon page updated, open for commissions!

Hey again, I just came by to give you all a quick update and make two semi-major announcements. Instead of working on the main content for the month so soon, i decided to take care of all the clerical stuff that needed doing. (Still working on updating one other thing, so it’s not mentioned here.) As the title suggests, my Patreon page has been updated slightly; and I have cut out a lot of the body text that used to be there in addition to updating the reward tiers. Most things are the same, but I had to make a few minor edits due to this new game being done soon(ish) and some other content that I am planning to try out in the near future. The other announcement is of course that I am giving commissions a test run, to see how that goes. Yes, technically commissions were available on my Patreon as a higher tier reward, but now there are other options as well as the Patreon tiers. (Though those are still the best deal overall.)

Check the commissions page up top if you are interested, there are other offers on my Patreon page and my DA page as well. I have no idea how long I will do this and/or if it will even work out; but I wanted to give it a shot. In other news, the poll is going rather well; but more votes is always a good thing. Some stranger options in the poll are doing surprisingly well; but there is still time for everything to change, so vote now if you haven’t yet! Otherwise, check back later this week for some other update; likely the mini-set preview and/or another small content update.

Old polls results, big monster poll brought back!

4 Replies

Hi again. I totally forgot to mention/consider the poll results/new poll in my last post, so I came by to sort all that out quick. I am still working on the game and seeing what I can/want to put in regarding the randomizer and a few other things while renders/re-renders finish. I hope to have one new public preview to post here towards the end of the week/weekend; so check back a bit later for that. Regardless, the old polls are done and most people want me to finish this game first, rather than start the next story arc; which as I mentioned I planned to do anyway just to get it done, so that is good. The other poll was a repeat of a very old one, asking about breast size preference. Strangely, this was essentially the opposite of the original one, with most people preferring large-huge. Some upcoming female characters in the next story arc will have both ends of the spectrum covered; (the one with huge tits will be introduced first, though that was already planned long ago) so I think this will all work out since many of the girls in already are on the large size in terms of bust size. In case that was not clear, there will be at least one new main character with average/realistic breasts in the next story arc; just not for a while.

In other news, I brought back another two year(ish) old poll; the big monster poll! (Due to the massive size of this poll, it is the only one this month.) This is a new and updated version of the old poll, with all the old stuff and some new things too! All the stuff listed on here is stuff I either can do, have already done, or would do. (So there are no dud/impossible options.) You can vote for up to SIX things in this poll, so make your votes count. I use these polls to see how popular certain things are, and this one in particular will be rather important so make sure you vote for your favorite stuff. I think I covered damn near everything, but if there is something in particular you want that isn’t on that list, leave a comment and if it is something I can/would do, then I will consider adding it!

Status update: 12/30, and Happy New Year!

Hey. No previews to post yet, but I wanted to post a written update. Due to assorted delays prior to this, I am just now getting ready to do main renders for most of the new images planned to be implemented into the game next week. I will post at least one new public preview sometime next week; I have not decided which one to do yet. Regardless, I think I have the event randomizer thing working again, and I hope to get that implemented sooner rather than later. This may mean an additional variation or two (either written or visual) to existing events, rather than one entirely new one right now if it does work with no issues. I started all this later than I planned and it is looking rough for me to hit my goal of getting the game about halfway done in a week and a half(ish), but I am going to do the best that I can. (I am taking tomorrow off.) Mid-level patrons get whatever I have done either way.

So please vote in the polls if you haven’t yet, check the new stuff on my DA page if you haven’t looked this month, and then check back next week/year for a new preview/more details about the next set of events. In the mean time, I hope you all have a happy new year!

RTL chapter ten, “The Trouble with Goblins” free release!

Leave a reply

Hey. Before I get to the main point of this post, some updates. Sorry for the long gap between posts, but assorted crap happened and I was trying to fix two other animations. One was decent but not great, so I added it to my mid level patron’s content but have no plans to release it publicly. The other one, I thought I could maybe at least get one part working, but over the last two days it just simply fails to render; now causing hard graphics kernel crashes, which is very odd and quite disturbing. So that is shelved until further notice, leaving me with not much to show for the last two weeks except the new scene set for the game… but sometimes that is just the way it goes. As mentioned, the “toys” scene set is in the current game beta that my mid level patrons have, making five scene sets in the current total; and I hope to add another four event sets or so later this month. This week I plan to do the new DA stuff, then likely get the mini-set out of the way once the Patreon poll for that is done, and then after all that work on the game again. I do not know if I will post more public previews of it, as I have already posted four as it is… but we will see. So check back here/my DA page for some updates later this week/early next week. Please vote in the polls in the mean time, though they are looking good already.

In the mean time though, below are the original four previews for RTL 10, and the download link. Before that though, I have to do a NEW Patreon bit. Since I now have the “charge up front” thing enabled, you can now jump into my Patreon at ANY time, and it will charge you then for the current month. After that, just send me a PM on Patreon and I will send you the appropriate rewards message within 24 hours. This means that you no longer have to wait weeks to get rewards and that you all potentially have more than the one month I thought to join my Patreon and get all these older mini-sets before they get wiped in February of next year. To summarize that again, the January message will be the last one containing all the old mini-sets, (and a couple full size story sets) and starting with the following month’s rewards, the list will reset and only a few newer ones will be included. So potentially you could opt in at any time in the next month and a half or so and still get all that, as well as access to the game beta and a bunch of other stuff; if any of that interests you, or if you just want to help support me, please check my Patreon page!

Also, I will also almost assuredly redo my Patreon page early next year in some fashion; I do not know if this will mean editing the reward tiers, or just the main page a bit, but I really feel that a some kind of overhaul is needed. I have updated/edited my Patreon page all this time to try and keep it current, but I think I will cut down on the wall of text on the main page and redo much of it try to streamline it a bit at the bare minimum. Just FYI though, after RTL is fully posted free, I am pushing back new free releases to a year at the very least. I think giving out almost 20 full (mostly) story sets for free is enough of a preview; so I am going to try and keep it a bit more inclusive to Patreon for a while and see how that goes. Before that though, here is the download link for RTL 10, the password is still redleatherart.

November poll results and end of year polls up!

2 Replies

Hi again, I came by to post the new polls and discuss the old ones. The new polls are on the right, one asks if you think I should finish the game before starting on the next story arc; the other is another old poll brought back, asking what you breast size preference is. Just an FYI here, I am planning to finish the game before starting the next story arc, but I just wondered what you all would prefer. I will leave these up for a month, so please vote in those.

As for the previous polls, the results were interesting for several reasons. The first poll asked what you thought was the most important aspect of an adult game. The general writing/story was tied with the adult scene visuals for first place, followed by the writing of the adult scenes, the number of adult scenes, and the characters involved in the adult scenes, each separated by just one vote. Below those, the quality of the general gameplay and the types of adult scenes were one vote above the genre of game, which got two votes. Nobody voted for sound; which is semi- good because I can’t do that so well at this time anyway. I had figured that adult scene visuals would win, but I was somewhat surprised that general writing/story also tied for first; it is nice to see that the story overall matters to people in games like this. The other options are basically where I thought they would be and I will take that into consideration. As mentioned before, I have several other ideas for VNs/games besides what I have already, and depending on how people like the current game, I may/may not work on more games sooner after this one is done.

The second old poll asked what the most important aspects of a female character were. Body shape and sexual preference/ability tied for first, which is no real surprise. After that was race/skin tone, face/makeup, and personality, each separated by one vote. Below that was hairstyle/color and backstory, and then clothing in last. This was mostly as expected, but it is nice to see personality doing well and backstory getting some appreciation also. I have been working on assorted things, but I won’t start rendering until tonight, so sometime early next week there may be something new posted here for you all. Other than that, I plan to make some new DA images and work on the game, RTL 10 is scheduled for a free release, there is also the patreon poll and the related mini-set for this month; there may be a few other things if all goes perfectly, but that is still very much in the air.

November plans, status update.

Hey. Sorry for the semi-late post here, but I’ve had some kind of head cold the past two days among other issues. However, I am still working on renders and stuff for the game and as I posted to my patrons a few days back, it will be better than I was sort of planning a couple weeks ago. I had left myself many notes and such on what I had planned to do here way back whenever, and I found that I am uncomfortable with leaving so much out and cutting as much as I had planned to do a short while ago. Long story short, I am almost certainly going to end up doing too much again and make this as good as I can. (A lot of choices and options and such that I had planned not to do initially will likely be included anyway.)  I am hoping to send out an early beta to many of my Patreon patrons tomorrow with the four events that I am almost done with. (I am slightly behind due to sickness and such but I think I should still make it depending on needed re-renders.) I then plan to use some time this month to further add to the game, and see what else I can throw in in addition to the other content this month.

As mentioned in my last post, I am planning to do at least one animation this month, maybe two if time allows. I am also aiming for more hardcore animations, if everything works this time around, that is. (I don’t want to send out something that doesn’t look smooth or has other issues.) I am planning to post some sort of additional preview of one of the events for this game sometime over the weekend, but I am still on the fence about it since it is not even done yet. Still though, this should be good and I am hoping that people will like it when it’s done. I will likely post again over the weekend and/or early next week with something; either a game preview, mini-set preview, or animation preview. In the mean time though, the polls on the right could really use some more votes, so check those out if you haven’t yet!

October poll results and more new polls!

2 Replies

Hey again. I’m here with a poll related update today; before I get to the results of the prior polls, please note that there are two new polls up on the right! The top one is a new poll asking what you feel are the three most important parts of an adult oriented game; and the bottom poll is another old poll that I have brought back, asking what you feel are the three most important aspects of a female character. You can vote for three (3) things in each poll. So please vote in those and let me know what you prefer, the polls with be up for a month.

As for the results from last time, things were pretty interesting; which is great. The favorite character poll was somewhat of an upset this time, as Helenya actually won this time around; with Zayla and Salune both getting only one vote less at seven each. I expected these three to be the favorites, but I am surprised that Helenya won, as Zayla won last time. Lucia got five votes which is also good and then Tabitha and Karen both got two; which I expected, but it is really nice that some people like them in addition to the more… exotic choices. The second poll asked what your favorite genre of adult game was, and this was really interesting (after the obvious first choice). This time around rpgs did best, with simulations getting fourth (compared to first last time); choose your own adventure games came second with longer story oriented VNs coming third. Short mainly sex VNs got four votes, and two each for dating sims and point and click adventure games; which is interesting. Puzzle games and card/casino games both got nothing, which is somewhat good as those are the things I am least likely to do and/or have no ideas to really do anything special with them at this time.

I have already made the one short, almost all sex VN, and this simulation/training game is coming soonish; after that I am unsure what will come next. RPG games I would like to do, however it would take a shitload of dedicated time and effort; which I cannot really justify at this time. (I barely even get comments here, I am not sure there is enough interest to warrant this.) Longer, story oriented VNs and choose your own adventure games are far more reasonable and likely; as are simulation games and short, sexy VNs. RPGs I really need to put off until there is more interest in my work, and until I am sure I can do it well enough. (I really prefer not to use RPGmaker if I can, as it doesn’t mix well with 3D art; and I am not totally sure of the details/process of making a decent RPG with Renpy.)

So those are my current thoughts on that stuff; feel free to leave comments/suggestions if you really want to see something in particular and/or have something to add somewhere. I am still working out what the main content for this month will be; I am thinking of trying to redo/fix that one animation from a couple months back (and possibly do another one as well) but that is just an idea at this point. I will send out patreon rewards early next week sometime, and shortly after that I will post here with a more concrete plan for this month.

Early public game scene preview!

Leave a reply

Hey. So below is the public early preview (patrons saw this early this week) for one part of one event in the game so far; the low level bondage training image is shown below. (This was also one of the events voted for in this month’s Patreon poll.) There will of course be assorted text with all of these events, but I chose to just post the plain image instead of an awkward screen cut so that you can see it better. The events in the game will scale in intensity and activity as Salune’s stats increase; starting at simple activities like this and eventually getting into decidedly rough territory in most cases. This is a tamer example, used mostly due to restrictions on what can be posted directly on Patreon.

As previously stated, each event will be a mini-set of sorts with narration, each split between the assorted levels for each training (I currently plan to have four levels of each and will probably just use 0-25, 26-50, 51-79, and 80+ to keep it simple); likely leaving low level events such as the one below with one scene image, and the highest level events per activity likely getting two or three. There will also be some other qualifiers for different event variants, including player choice and random chance, for example. The descriptions and explanations will also increase in intensity with the trainings; not least because I can write here without worrying about running out of screen space, as I do with the actual story sets. I am also planning to have some basic sound effects in this game, not just music like the previous micro VN. I am aiming for 4-5 events totally done before I send this out in a bit over a week, and I am on track to hit that goal. If people really like this, I can always come back later and add to the original events and/or add more/different events later; I have several ideas in this regard.

If any of this interests you, check out my Patreon page and consider supporting me; everything put forward helps support my work and helps me make more and better content. Starting with this month, whatever I have done toward this game will be sent out to my $15+ patrons, and the finished game itself will get sent out to $5+ patrons, whenever that may be. However, I have no plans to release this publicly; much like the micro VN from a few months back, this may just remain a Patreon only thing. Do also remember that the mini-sets reset at the start of next year, so you may want to get them before they are gone. (Over twenty minisets are currently available to my $15+ patrons, a couple are full size story sets.) https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Poll results and some very old polls brought back!

Leave a reply

Hey again. As the title mentions, the results for last month’s polls are below and I have posted new/old polls! The two polls on the right are polls I had done already way, way back on my old google blog; so I am redoing them a year and a half or so later to see how things have changed. One poll asks which of my female characters are your favorite, and the other asks what type of adult games you prefer. (YOU CAN PICK THREE [3] CHOICES ON BOTH.) So vote in those polls and show me what you like!

The results for last month’s polls show that most voters seem to prefer quality over quantity, so I will keep that in mind. The other poll was rather obvious, but it seems most of you are interested in fantasy renders; with perhaps a little bit of sci-fi at times. This was what I expected since almost all of my work is fantasy themed, but I figured it was worth a shot. As mentioned previously, there will be new DA images, a preview of this month’s patreon mini-set, and a free release of RTL 9 sometime in the next two weeks or so. Other than that, there will be at least one post with preview(s?) of the game that I will be working on this month. I am not currently sure how much else will get posted here, but we will see.
