A Shiny Future Ahead
Added 2025-01-01 01:04:33 +0000 UTCHeya everybody!
First of all, I want to apologize about the lack of updates on game things. I’ve been working on a lot, but not much of it solely dedicated to Cat/Suit. Cat/Suit had kind of come to occupy an odd spot in my creative mental space, not necessarily bad but not the most clear. I’m still working on it, I’ve actually been developing a lot of things AROUND it, but not “it” itself. A lot of it has just been practicing here and there in Unreal, a few maps and mechanics I’ve been working on, creating models in Blender, working on writing out the big first story of my giant sci-fantasy universe setting… but I’ve been reluctant to actually share it. And for that, I really apologize.
In essence and boiling it down, I’ve had a prolonged case of the head worms, as they call them. Self-doubt, thinking that nobody actually likes my ideas, thinking people won’t actually like what I make unless it carries to their specific interests. Basically, a lack of faith in my own creation to have appeal to people unless it panders.
I have been working on this universe and these ideas for a while now, building it up in my head and sharing bits here and there. But I’ve been so hesitant to go all in on it because either life is hard and money is tight or I feel like people want things out of it that I don’t have an interest in.
Its caused me to really take a critical eye and put thought into what I was making and what I actually WANTED to make. Because after the first few years of working on Cat/Suit went on, I realized I wasn’t making what I wanted to make anymore. I was just making stuff to pander to people’s interests, and that really made it feel hollow and no longer ‘me’. It lost the spirit I wanted to try and capture of a magical world that happened to use concepts of psychology and kink as a core element of what shaped it.
I wanted to make something thought provoking, something that I would find enjoyment out of. And I ended up working onsomething that I couldn’t feel farther from.
But in the last few months I’ve been hitting it again from a new perspective. Heck, I’ve built up a whole universe of ideas for me to play in and create with and its finally ready to show off. The little bits I’ve done here and there on FA showing things like the giant cosmic screw cities, or the Henshin heroes, or the criminal cartels or alien spidery-hive empires. That’s all part of these ideas I have to take the humble start of Cat/Suit and spin it into this giant playground for all the ideas I have.
So next year, here’s whats going to be happening.
I have 3 pages of a comic done, I just want a few more to show off a real ‘beginning’, plus I need to throw lettering in. I have character BIO pages for the new story as well, and even kinky creatures and cool new concepts! The Wild Yonder classes/tabletop system I developed is used to create all the characters of the world setting, and I have a full EPIC story fully written that I’ve already shown snippets of in other comic pages. I have 2 character model to show off mid-January and 2 map zones to show off as well. I’m going to tell a story with a game, just like the games I loved growing up. With characters I love and hope you’ll love too. Characters who some are kinky, some are pan, poly, demi, furry, trans, all the above, and all the stuff I started in Cat/Suit gets a new life as the bedrock of the lore of this new epic story.
New art/assets of all this coming either tomorrow or the day after! (I had to pick up a bunch of commissions due to failing computer parts and tandem car repairs, yaaay for extremely financially tight times right around the holidays.)
So, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and look forward to whats coming!
Comments
I'm looking forward to more Cat/Suit in one form or another. A lot of what I already saw hit on some fun interests, and nothing you do will ever satisfy everybody else in all possible ways. In the end it has to be your brainchild and people will like what they like. I totally understand the self-doubt that can creep in, though.
