Hello Everyone.

First of all, thanks for giving me a bit of a breather last month. I really needed it because I was under so much stress. Felling much better and ready to get back to work.

With that said, this 10 day break allowed me to think on how to approach things this year, and making so minor changes.

Starting this year, I want to try a new "format" for the story/image set. With the goal being to:

Continue making around 3-4 image "BASE" images per set. Each with maximum ONE extra character along with the main "protagonist. And each having a couple of variations as expected. So image wise, the core remains the same.

Rather than put the ENTIRE story on tones of text pasted on top of images. I will now adopt an hybrid of the old format (Sequence of images, with some lines in there.) and a novel style format. Combining the two.

This will allow me much more flexibility story wise. As before I had to limit the story to what I could manage to put on screen (Example if a scene has 6 characters interacting with the protagonist, I can't possibly draw that. Too much work. But I can still have those characters and actions in the story. While Keeping images as "snap shots of keep moments in the story").

As such, images with just "Talking heads" with no actions will no longer be drawn. I understand that some may like these, but they do take a LOT of extra time for me to make, only to have two or more characters talking with no action. I would rather keep my drawing focus on the "cool" moments. The stuff we really want to see, as much as possible.

Along with keeping images cleaners (Less text on them), I won't have to 20+ images of conversations (Something I had to do in the old format to get the story across. I will keep sequences of images showing dialog exchanges of course, with different facial expression and such. As usual. But instead of one image have dozen and dozen of talking with just different facial expression because "story" that will be slightly, and I do mean "slightly" reduced to keep the total number of pages reasonable (Not more than 60-70 pages max if possible). In short, Avoiding what happened with the raven set.

"Action sequences" Aka, image sequences where "interesting" stuff happens. (Bondage added, gag inflated etc..." are not going anywhere. And are in fact what I want to focus drawing. Rather than waste time on boring dialog images.

In short, Image wise, don't expect a lot to changes at all (aside from not doing talking head dialog images). It's still the same content, but focusing my efforts on the "good stuff". The bondage, the nice sequence combos, etc...

This is just a different presentation for the "story" which will make the possibilities for the story telling more open (not everything that to be shown in an image) and keeping the images cleaners (No walls of texts covering 90% of the image).

I know some might be resilient to a change like this, but please believe me that this will not reduce the quality or quantity of images provided. If anything, The quality should improve with this new format.

I'm providing some visual example in attachments to better show you what I mean with this change of format.

The other big change is when I post new content. This is not a big change. The sneak peaks on discord won't change. I post these as they come. Same goes for polls etc... The changes is really in regards to posting download links. I've noticed that some folks try to "cancel" their membership when I post them around the end of the month. Trying to grab the set quickly before getting the charge on the first of the next month.

While this is a bit silly (Because patreon only cancels the following month so charges for that on going month keep on regardless. I think many don't get that). It's still a bit annoying. So from now on, I'll be posting download link at the beginning of the month after patreon makes the charges. (this is what most creators do anyways)

Ultimately this changes very little, but it should discourage the very few that quickly hope in and out to just grab the links to continue doing this.

Instead of end of the month, these links will pop a day or two later, that is all. Not a big change, but one I wanted to get out there.

And that is all for the changes. Sorry this was a long read, but necessary.

Now on to the updates this month:

first two weeks: Focusing on the mercy inks

Continuing the last two polls for that set.

Last two weeks: Focusing on developing the game. My objective: getting the warrior combat done against Bijou. That mean the entire combat event finished. Not really doing the story event leading to said combat. If finish the combat early, I'll do the story event leading to it to get a patch done. But if not, I'll post a video showing the combat done.
