May Check In
🕑 Added 2022-05-02 23:50:23 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
First of all, thank you so much to the new people - and thank you so much to the people who have stuck around for another month! As always, I am incredibly grateful.
At the beginning of the month I like to do a little check-in where I tell people what my various focuses are going to be this month while also reflecting backward a little bit. Lay myself out on the table and talk about what I've done and what I'm doing. I split it up in various sections so please feel free to skip past the ones you aren't so interested in - or, heck, skip the whole post if you want.
Commissions
For the beginning of this month (about the first ten days or so) I'm going to be knuckling down on finishing the two commissions that I should've finished last month. These are Being Human Chapter 5 (an unbirth chapter) and Fox Pizza (a story about a pizza delivery girl eating her customer). They're both going to be about 10000 words long and you will see both of them posted here in the first half of this month.
From then, I do have tons of stories to work on, but I'm not going to be promising dates for them - even rough ones - because if I then go over that deadline because I'm focusing on something else (like last month and all of Tiny Furry In A Huge World's stuff) then I just feel like garbage and it makes it harder to go back to the story because I feel compelled to rush it and get it out. Instead I'm just going to post them when I finish them. It's really hard for me to predict exactly when they'll be done anyway because I often do a fair amount of rewriting/going over the already enormous word count that I've been given so I'm just going to stop predicting.
This doesn't mean I won't be working hard on commissions - so don't worry, story fans - it just means that I'm going to post them when they're done rather than talking about them a week or a month or whatever before they're done. The amount of commissions/stories/whatever won't go down - I'm just not going to plan release days for them anymore. I write it, I send it to commissioner, commissioner gives thumbs up, then I post it.
This doesn't mean I'm not going to post teases for 'em either... it just means I'm not going to be like there's a story coming next week anymore. I'm more going to be like story in two days because I've already finished it and sent it off to the commissioner, hooray!
Again - this isn't me doing less work on my story stuff. It's just a change on how I announce them. This should lead to less stress which should lead to more writing which should lead to more finished commissions. Generally about 2-3 of them get posted a month and I'd like to stick to that.
A Tiny Furry In A Huge World
Thank you so much for the huge response to both the public release of v1.2 and the Patreon release of v1.3 of A Tiny Furry In A Huge World!
The next big thing that I will be doing with the game is working on v1.3.5. Over the next few months - mostly in the background - I'll be working away on adding some more quality of life stuff. Things like the huge guide that I have to write and stomach improvements, change up some backgrounds, and throw in a few surprise new endings as a treat.
However, even if I am working at this on the backburner, I won't be doing monthly releases of this game for a bit. v1.3.5 will just be posted sometime over the next month or three as a random treat.
Honestly I'm just amazed at how far the game has come. Recently I played v0.1 of A Tiny Furry In A Huge World and... wow. One character and it looked like garbage. Now there's over a dozen and... I'm actually proud of how it looks. Not that I wasn't always proud - but this is like your kid becoming a lawyer or a doctor or an astronaut or something. It feels like it's grown beyond me. Or something like that...
Now that v1.3 is done - as many of you know - I will be moving onto monthly releases of A Tiny Furry On A Huge Quest instead. This is going to last for five months or so. Let me talk about that more!
A Tiny Furry On A Huge Quest
I'm not going to do a gigapost on this because I already talked about it a lot last month in probably the longest Patreon post I have ever done or something. If you'd like more specific details about what I will be adding to this game over the next five months done in a giant ramble then you can read about it over here!
As said in that post, this months focus is on adding Gianna's content. Gianna is a chef, so... a lot of her content will be themed around that! There's going to be oral vore, cooking vore, and some food TF. At the very least.
Last month's bonus poll dictated that I add a new ending for Reiko and Jamie. Both of these will be added this month also! For the hell of it, I also want to add an ending to Clint - one involving his huge hooves - but we'll see how it goes this month since I'm adding a whole new character and probably doing a bunch of other stuff too. For example, something that I want to polish up is the intro.
I will be doing two series of polls for A Tiny Furry On A Huge Quest this month. The first will be for next month's bonus ending - and the second will be for a brand new character. Said character won't be making a huge appearance in the game - yet, at least - but I'd like to build up the prologue town a bit which means polling new characters so that I can make new areas. Like a blacksmith or a potion shop or a... you get the picture.
Expect a big big release with all of this posted around the end of the month. I might post a preview in the middle, too, depending on how things go - but no promises.
Mental Health Check
I'm good! I don't feel super great about not getting those commissions done last month but at the same time I recognize that the amount of work that I wanted to do on A Tiny Furry In A Huge World ultimately overcame them.
Patreon has been really busy this last couple of months - which is great - so I've been doubling down on game work because... well.... I have always said that the more I get paid on here the harder I will work on my games. Last month, commissions suffered for it. Hopefully with my changes (just posting them when they're done rather than establishing a weekly upload schedule that I feel awful about if I miss) they won't suffer any longer. We'll see!
Despite doing this for over two years now, I am still learning my limits - and I don't see that changing any time soon.
More than anything, though - aside from not feeling super great about that commission thing - I am actually feeling amazing! Seriously. Patreon is booming and I feel like all of my hard work is paying off. It's a great feeling.
That's it! Just a rough shape for how things will go this month. Two commissions at least and also a huge game update for A Tiny Furry On A Huge Quest featuring a vixen chef and also a huge poll that will shape the future of the game massively. I hope you're looking forward to it! I know I am - I am going to love writing this month. I've been very eager to get back on A Tiny Furry On A Huge Quest. Fuck, I'm practically frothing at the mouth!
I'll have one of those polls up soon.
Thank you - again - to everyone new and everyone who has stuck around!
