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!

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

General game info/plans!

Hey again. I just posted the game event preview to my patrons, but it was a bit later than I had hoped. So the public preview will likely come at the end of this week sometime. However, for now I will give you all the longer and likely more informative written synopsis of the game. For those of you who remember, my original game idea was a slave training sim game featuring Zayla and Salune (as well as many random slaves/creatures of course). Way back before I had this site, when I first did this poll. people really wanted simulation type games; with assorted other options such as rpg games and VNs after that. Based on the poll on the right, things seem to have changed; but I still think people will enjoy this; if nothing else, people supposedly really like futa in 3D stuff… so there is definitely going to be plenty of that. (I will discuss the issue of game preferences early next month when the current polls are over.)

For those of you that either don’t know or don’t recall, the general idea of this game is to train Salune’s assorted stats as high as possible within a certain timeframe using a variety of events/trainings that cover a fairly wide assortment of things. Each training raises certain stats, but some training events are more powerful than others, and have negatives associated with them in addition to the positives (i.e. they don’t just add to stats, they reduce some as well) so care/restraint is needed to do well. Once the set time is up, the game gives you a score based on all your stats, and you might even get something extra if you do really well. The assorted events will have variations based on Salune’s stats and other factors (including random chance); though there won’t be as much as I would like of this in the initial version.

I cut some things for the base version simply to get it done reasonably quickly, but I can always expand on it later if people like it. I plan to have 20-ish events in the game for the initial version, with all sorts of additions possible. Each event is essentially a mini-set with some narration to go with it. My patrons already have an idea of what events this will include, though that list is by no means final. As noted before, my mid-level patrons will get whatever I have done starting next month as a very early beta of sorts; and I am hoping to get this finished before next year, but we will see how that goes. Once it is done, it will go to my basic patrons and up (though patrons above that would have earlier versions of it already); right now, I have no idea when or if it will get released free.

So look forward to that, and please vote in the polls if you haven’t already; the public event preview should come sometime late this week.

New DA stuff posted; RTL nine, “Minion Benefits” free release!

Hey. Sorry this is a bit later than I had hoped, but as you can probably guess from the title, I just posted some new renders to my DA page, and the free release of RTL 9, “Minion Benefits” is below, along with the original previews. Before that though, I did want to mention that I hope to have a preview of something game-related for my Patrons near the end of the week, which means there should be something posted here mid next week; along with a sizable post discussing assorted things about the game, much of which my patrons have already read. The polls still have some time left as well, so check those out if you haven’t yet.

So now for the part most of you are probably here for, the free release of RTL 9; the download link is below along with the original previews. (The password is still redleatherart) Remember to check out my Patreon page and consider supporting me if you like my work and you want to help me make more/better content and/or want access to it early (among other things)! Everything put forward helps. Also keep in mind what I posted earlier about the mini-set list being reset at the start of next year; so get in now if you want all the old mini-sets! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

October Patreon mini-set preview!

2 Replies

Hey. Sorry it has been a while since my last post, the last week has really been hard and I haven’t been able to get as much done as I would like. I am hoping to get the new DA stuff done over this weekend, but it may take a bit longer. If all goes well, I should have a scene preview of the game for my patrons late next week; and that should get posted here soon after. The polls here are going pretty well, but more votes are always good; and please remember that you can pick three options for both polls. I take these into consideration when planning stuff, and more votes help me know what people prefer and by how much.

However, below is the public preview of this month’s new Patreon mini-set, available for $15+ patrons on my Patreon page. The set features James and a slightly different Tabitha. She has her hair down and is her happier, cuddlier self in this mini-set due to her being away from others. This set takes place in the house Tabitha rented before they left for Lithorca; assorted fun occurs on her bed in what is currently six images. A quick word of warning as well, as previously mentioned I am restarting the mini-set list for my Patreon starting next year; so there are only three months left to get all these old mini-sets… currently all the ones I have done so far are available to appropriate patrons. Starting next January, I am restarting the cycle and giving away only perhaps 2-3 months back from then and any from then on until the next reset. So if you are interested in a fair bit of content of mine of assorted types that you likely haven’t seen yet, or you just want to help support my work; check out my Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Poll results and some very old polls brought back!

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.

RTL chapter twelve, “Sisters’ Reunion” complete!

Hi! As the title mentions, RTL 12 is done and it is currently 35 images; though around 5 of those are unrelated to the main scene and explain other things happening to the main characters. I had some odd issues with a few things in here, and I need to tweak a few things still and see if I can get it any better, but even so I think this set came out very nice. I think (?) this is my first all girl full size image set; (I am not counting my third image set from way back whenever) and it’s pretty good considering that. It features the elven sisters from a few of the RTL sets engaging in assorted lesbian fun in their final planned appearance; along with a new friend that I threw in mostly because someone bothered to ask. (0_0) This is also a happy set overall, in comparison to the semi dark tones/content of most of the other RTL sets. As mentioned before, there are also a few assorted images and references to how the more major characters are doing and how things lead into the next arc; but that isn’t planned to start until next year or so. (Although my patrons know two upcoming characters already, even though one was previously mentioned directly in RTL at one point.)

In other news, next month should be very interesting for several reasons. I plan to update the polls here and post some stuff regarding next month’s project on my patreon in a few days; so check back for that and do vote in these polls if you haven’t done so yet, last chance!

RTL 12 public preview and next month’s plans!

Hi again. As promised in the last post, below is the public early preview of the final chapter of RTL. My original plan for this set was to make three concluding mini-sets and then lead into the next story arc; but partially due to the special poll two months back and due to the only public feedback I received back when I asked, I decided to change it in a few ways. I made the lesbian scene the main scene with two parts and cut the other two mini-sets that were planned. The image below is one of the early establishing shots in the set and shows who will be involved in the main scene, as per the votes and suggestions of one fan; as well as the garden/pool that the scene takes place in. I think this should be much nicer than the general conclusion that I was planning this last chapter to be; now that this main scene will be the majority of the set, with a few other things shown/mentioned in passing to reflect what else is going on. Again, I will have this done later this week and post the public previews as soon as I have them.

As for the other part of this post; a lot is going to happen/change starting next month, but here are some examples of what that will include. As mentioned above, this is the last entry in the RTL story arc and as such I plan on taking a small break from starting the next main story line; likely until the end of the year. I plan on taking next month to put forward major time on finishing my original game idea from way back whenever. (Salune’s slave training.) Almost all the back end/coding stuff is set, I just need some time to make/implement all the raw content; which I will now finally have. I aim to get a quarter of my original planned scenes for it done next month; which would be around four mini-sets worth of images, which would be comparable to the small VN I made a short while ago. Regardless, there will be Patreon exclusive previews of what events are currently planned and at least one event image preview, a Patreon poll to decide one event from a selection that will definitely be done next month, and perhaps most importantly I plan to send out whatever I do get done next month to $15+ patrons as a very early beta. It will almost certainly be horribly unfinished, but still technically playable; so I figured why not.

There will still be some new DA images next month, as well as a Patreon mini-set preview, and a few public previews of the game here, in addition to the free release of RTL chapter 9. However, I am posting this as fair warning that most new content next month will be geared towards patrons; so if you are on the fence about becoming my patron, now would be a pretty good time. (As you need to get in now in order to get access to next month’s posts/content.) Even $2 patrons will get access to the general previews next month, just FYI. Another quick FYI, I plan to drop the current group of $15+ patron mini-sets at the end of this year; so until then the $15 tier and up still get every mini-set that I have made for it so far. So check out my Patreon page if any of that interests you. https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

RTL 12 and next month preview coming Monday.

Hi again. It’s been a while since my last update so I thought I should post a small update to let you all know what is happening. I ran a bit late with the RTL Patreon preview, but posted it just now; so I now plan to post it here on Monday. The set is shaping up nicely though and it is much nicer than my original plan for this concluding chapter. I also plan to mention some of the things that will be happening next month in that post, most of which will involve things for my patrons. So check back on Monday for all that and I will have RTL 12 done sometime late next week!

Also the current polls on the right only have one week left, so vote now if you haven’t yet!
