September Update

Happy September!

Well, what a month, for me, tough with IRL really taking a bat to the side of my skull. I am doing fine in general but far behind the output I wanted to get going unfortunately.

This month I have kept to the 3 posts a week timeline and that has been great to see that I have made that happen, I can’t deny it has been tougher this month. Rendering has been slow, very slow. I did three batches of renders but there was something not right with the eyes and I had to do them over and over again. Finally sussed that out so they are coming along. As I said earlier in the month, coding for the game is done for 0.02 but I am yet to get the renders into it. My hope and aim is to get the next version out asap but to set a target, 22nd of September (3 weeks time)

Storywise;

• Ravenous – Still going strong and I have a lot of runway going on here, the aim was to be a Hunger spiritual successor and I hope I have landed the mark there, although I have certainly been a bit more lewd in this so far. Plenty more to come over the month.

• Hometime – Whilst I have been chiselling away at the plan I have for this one, it is still taking quite long stretches to get a single cycle written, generally I write a full cycle in one go, but again, lots more going on.
  

Housekeeping and Admin

I’ve been working on a few things on my other pages to make things better and I just want to take a few sentences to let you know.

Free Memberships on Patreon – This is something I haven’t really done much with but there is a clear path for September to release more content in the “Free Members Only” option, this allows me to get some fire content to you earlier than I would get it up on DA. So sign up today and get access to even more content for free

Promotions and Free Reads – Amazon allows me to sell books for discounts, it also allows me to give books away for “free reads” I have got plenty lined up all the time, generally Thursday to Tuesday or so. Check out my Amazon library page often to make sure you don’t miss out.

Gumroad Discount Codes – On top of the GDSALE Discount code that you can use on everything pre2024 (including bundles) to get 50% off you can now, for a limited time, get 75% Off my 2024 releases, so now is the perfect time to get one of my latest stories for a heck of a deal. The offer will end on the 30th of September and to get the discount use code GD2024. Check my page out here

Every week it feels like platforms are making themselves better for creators, which is great, so as more things land for me to help you all enjoy my content better, I will let you know.

Final point, the new badge system is now live on DA. This allows you as a free member to support me in the algorithm with your badges, it costs nothing and it can do so so so much to help me so if you are sitting on your badge and haven’t spent it this week, please consider giving it to anything in my Deviantart gallery that you enjoy. They reset each week and although Hype badges are the key contributors to algorithm, any badge can help, certainly lets me know you enjoy what I am creating.

Thank you everyone so much for your support and until the next release!
