Status update: 5/20

Hey. So as mentioned last time, here is a quick status update regarding some assorted things. First of all, I am currently working on the full size, ten-ish image story set for my Patrons this month, which will feature Zayla. (I won’t give away the full scenario idea yet; my patrons already know though.) I gave several different options in the patreon poll this time, including modern and sci-fi scenarios; but the one with Zayla won by a fair bit as she usually does. So I hope to have at least one preview of that, maybe two in a few days or so; but it looks like it is going to be very fun. A couple new commissions for me got posted recently, and I added them to the “commissions and stuff for me” gallery on my DA page (one on my tumblr), so check that out if that interests you. As for game content this month, I won’t get into that until I finish this image set; but there should be at least one, preferably two new scene sets… and there are only four main training ones left to put in. (I don’t count the endings/other scenes as scene sets… but there is much of that left to do as well.)

In other news, it looks like I will have a lot more time for all this stuff somewhat soon; though I am not sure how long it will last… that really depends on all sorts of things. I hope to make a fair bit of progress on the game during this time, and maybe get it to 1.0 in two/three months. When that happens, I will likely repost some of the older previews and/or make a few new ones for some more general gameplay insight. I will also make a post to all my patrons sometime before the end of the month with assorted ideas regarding other content ideas/events that may happen after this game is done… partly to just let people know what I am thinking and partly to see there is interest for these things. The polls on the right are doing fairly well, but there is still time for results to shift, so vote now if you haven’t yet!

Game beta 0.6 reached, status update.

Hey again. Sorry this is later than I’d hoped but yesterday was really rough and I slept in today. Long story short, the game is at what I am calling beta 0.6; although about 70% of the actual image content planned for the base game is in the game now. (75% of the training scene sets are implemented; though I do plan to expand the written bits for some of the early ones.) There is still of course other stuff to work out like the stat balancing and the endings; but I did get the “anal training” scene set in the build I sent out last night to my patrons. That was pretty fun and has a bit of fisting at the end because why not. (People wanted that according to a poll a while back.) The game also has a title screen now; though that may still get updated a bit. (The words, not the image I don’t think; I like this one.)

So that went better than I thought it would given that mess last month, and I will see what this month holds for the game beta in a week or so; for now my patrons are voting on which mini-set idea will become a full size image set, and it looks to have been decided already. (Most votes were for one option; more on that later next week I hope.) I really am not sure what else will happen this month, as I am waiting for three/four people to get back to me about different things… and have been for weeks in most cases. So the game beta is doing pretty well and there will be a ten(ish) image story set for mid level patrons starting next month with a preview image here; maybe two, one clean and one story… not sure yet. I have all kinds of ideas and possibilities on the table in terms of other content and stuff I have been thinking about… especially given something coming up rather soon; I am planning to mention some of this to patrons before mentioning it here, so I don’t know when most of you will get more details. Please continue to vote in the polls here and leave comments with any questions/concerns; I plan to post again next week with an update at the minimum, hopefully with a preview of the not so mini-set for the month.

Prior poll results, new polls, status update

Hi again. So it’s been a while but so far things have actually gotten better for me in terms of my back. It would seem that I have gotten used to this almost, due to it happening so many times that I now know how best to deal with it. I am by no means 100% yet, but I am far better than I was last post. I added a couple images to the last mini-set; though one is an unused render that has only minor differences. I also have been working towards some content for the hopeful game beta update when rewards go out next week sometime. I still do not want to promise anything, but I am fairly sure I will have something to add; I will not know more until mid weekend sometime. However, I needed to post now to update the polls and I just thought I would mention how things are going. I have a few nice commissions that were done for me by people on deviantart few weeks ago, but for whatever reason both people in question have basically gone AWOL for two weeks with no real explanation, so they haven’t been posted yet.

As for the polls, last month asked how much story vs sex you prefer in your content; and unsurprisingly most people prefer a balance, with some leaning towards more sex. I think I have tended to lean towards mostly sex in my story sets, with only the first RTL chapter what I would call a balance of story and sex due to the sheer amount of stuff that needed to be set up and/or explained. I will see about working in more story in the future, but with little to no real feedback in general, I have no real choice but to do just what I am doing and hope for the best. (So actual comments would really help.) The other poll asked about clothing in sex scenes, and interestingly most people preferred little to no clothing at all. I actually usually tried to keep character’s clothes on in many cases, which is of course much harder for me; so apparently I don’t really need to keep doing that per se, which I will definitely keep in mind. The new polls are up, the first is from around two years back and asks what kind of player character you prefer in adult games and the second one is also a poll from two years ago, asking your gender. (I am just curious how things have changed in two years, if at all.)

It would also be really great if anyone wanted to leave an actual written comment with either general feedback for me and/or explaining their character preference from that first poll. As I have mentioned, I do take polls into consideration, but I take written comments and such far more seriously. I plan to post again sometime mid-next week with an update regarding my progress on the game beta and whatever else.

April Patreon mini-set preview, new DA stuff posted!

Hi again. Just stopping by you all know that the new DA content is up and that the preview of this month’s Patreon mini-set is done as well. This mini-set features Lucia being forced to work off a debt in a tavern after she is caught stealing fish by the mean female proprietor. It is currently six images total and features a bit of lesbian fun. In other news, my back is still causing me a great deal of pain and I am unsure of exactly how much I can get done in terms of new game content for next month. It already took me almost two weeks just to get this mini-set and the DA images done… so things aren’t looking great. I will do the best that I can, but I have a hard time doing much of anything at times with this going on… much less working on side projects like this. I have no idea when I will post again; I hope sometime next week with a status update at least. In the mean time, do remember that I will have a special Patreon poll early next month, the winner of which will be made into a ten(ish) image story set and sent out to appropriate patrons the following month!

As always, if you want to support me and maybe even get access to these mini-sets and/or future polls (or lots of other rewards too), check out my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

RTL chapter twelve, “Sisters’ Reunion” free release; status update!

2 Replies

Hey everyone. as you can guess, the main part of this post is the free release of the final chapter of Road to Lithorca. However, first a bit of bad news; at least for me. Among other things, I had a minor issue last week involving an overly long and complicated trip to the dentist, which unfortunately evolved into another pinched nerve in my lower back caused by being stuck in the crappy chairs there for so long. So once again, at least temporarily, I cannot do much at all in terms of work on this project; what little time I can spare at the moment generally needs to be used for other things. This is why I haven’t finished the new DA images quite yet, or finished the Patreon mini-set for this month. I apologize, but there really isn’t much I can do when this happens; and it is usually very hard just to function on a basic level with so much pain. I will do what I can, and I am hoping to get the DA stuff done sometime in the next few days; but there is just no way to know how much time I will have. Check back in a couple days to see what I have gotten done; if anything.

So again, below are the original preview images from RTL chapter 12; an epilogue of sorts for the RTL story arc that leads into the next story set. There is some fun lesbian/threesome action in here; and though I consider RTL 11 to be the “climax” of the story, this is still fun. Also, keep in mind that this is the last free release of one of my main image sets for quite some time at the very least; any new image sets and most other content will only be available to Patrons of mine on Patreon. So If you like my work and want to support me and/or help me make more of it, please check out my Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Status update: 4/13

Hey. Just a quick update here for assorted reasons. I sent out the Patreon rewards last night, which included one new scene set for the game as well as a few new images for some existing scene sets. It is a little less than I had hoped for, but I still think I should be able to finish the main game around early June as planned. In other, semi-related news; this week has been a complete mess for me and I do not know if I will be able to finish the remaining DA images before next week or not. I have had a ton of crap happen these past few days and a lot of unnecessary stress which makes it hard to work on all this, if I can even find the time. I will do the best that I can; but I think it may get pushed to next week with the mini-set for this month. In other news, the final chapter of RTL is scheduled for a free release here sometime later this month; so check back for that later later on. While you wait for all that, please vote in the polls and do check out my other pages/previous sets if you haven’t already! (There is a freely released sets tab at the top of this page.)

March poll results, new polls posted!

Hi again. I’m back with the prior poll results and new polls! The first old poll asked how much text you prefer in adult games, and the vast majority of people took the middle option; which is what I figured would happen. (So I will try to keep things balanced in the game as it is.) The other old poll asked which of my pages you look at regularly (which got few votes) seems to indicate that most people only check my main page here, and a couple check my DA page and one checks my Patreon page. You guys may want to check out my other pages every so often, as I do try to post some things there every now and then; especially on DA I get most of the commissions I have done posted/linked there. But most things do go here, so I guess that makes sense and it is what I expected.

There are new polls up as well so check those out! One asks how much clothing you prefer on characters during sex in adult images, and the other is an old poll from around two years ago brought back; that asks how much story and/or sex you prefer in adult image sets. So check those out and let me know your thought there; I will be back late this week and/or early next week with a status update and hopefully some new content of some sort!

Status update: 3/31

Hi. Here is that update in regard to the state of the game and a few of my other plans as far as upcoming things go. I am going to try and get two new scene sets in the game beta before it gets sent out in a week and a half or so, but I am not sure I will be able to do that and finish the few new random events I would like to work in. A few more details and specifics of all this will be posted to my Patrons in a bit, but long story short I hope to have the 1.0 of the game more or less done in early June; (so it will be included in the May Patreon rewards message) and that is a conservative estimate. Now, even once it is “done” it will still be in beta for a few months while I work out the stat balancing and fix any bugs/typos and probably continue to add content; so that isn’t a complete finish yet, but all the core content will be in the game, it just might need some tweaking/expanding. Again, this is not a guarantee, but unless something horrible happens I don’t see this taking longer than that to get the base game situated. After that gets done I will likely take a month to recover and then see about getting back to the next story arc.

Next month I plan to do the new DA images, the Patreon mini-set and then use whatever I have remaining to work on the game. The month after that though, (in May) there will be a special Patreon mini-set poll; it will decide the topic of the mini-set for that month as usual but that mini-set will instead be a ten image set with a tiny story attached! That special Patreon poll will be available to appropriate patrons of mine after rewards go out in early may; so if you want to get in on that and/or support my work or see other mini-sets I have done for my Patrons, check out my Patreon page!

My first two public commissions!

Hey again. As the title hints, there are the first two public commissions that I have done since I opened up for commissions two months ago. Both are for HermitBear; and feature a custom, bondage-themed elf fucking a fat orc and then two goblins. Below are the normal quality, public JPG posts of them; and they are quite nice, hopefully you all will enjoy them as well.

If you think you might be interested in commissioning me to make something that you really want to see, then check out one of my two commission pages; the main one here on the site up top and the other one on DA. There are also special slots/deals for commissions on my Patreon page if that interests you.

Final note, I still hope to post a better estimate on game progress later in the week, but for now this will do.

March Patreon mini-set preview!

Hey again. Sorry for the rather late post of this; but assorted factors kept pushing it back. I actually had something else in mind, but for various reasons I benched it for now and made this mini-set instead. I decided to make this a solo set, as I haven’t done one of those in quite a while. It stars Helenya, who has “borrowed” Zayla’s favorite toy and gone outside to play with it (and herself) a bit before anyone catches her. The mini-set is seven images; although one is just a slight edit of the preview below, to make it postable on DA. I think it came out really well and it does feature one of my two main favorite girls, so there is that as well. If you want to support me and maybe even get access to these mini-sets and/or future polls (or lots of other rewards), check out my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

In other news, I have been working to get assorted commissions done; both for and by me. I hope to post a couple of the ones by me on here/tumblr soonish, but I am waiting since I think I have a few that are related and I would like to post them together. Also, if you haven’t checked my DA page/tumblr recently, maybe you should; as that is where all commissions for me currently end up and they are worth checking out. I can’t say for sure what will get done in the game this month yet; but I have a couple weeks to do whatever I can. I have been working though a few new variations for existing events and a few other things, I will see what gets done. There should be another post here next week with something; either a status update or perhaps something else, it is too early to know yet. In the mean time, enjoy this preview!
