Progress Report 06/09 - 24, October Announcement

Hello folks and welcome to another brief progress report!

Some more models have been committed to The Gallery:

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V)
Valby (The First Descendant)
Gloria (Devil May Cry)

Quiet was subjected to a brief poll over on the discord to determine the status of Certain Assets and was rather painlessly added to the gallery otherwise, where I managed to keep her stockings intact while still opening up for activities, so to speak. As a consequence of the vote (with more than 70% voting for the larger size) she's one of the bustier ladies in the gallery - fitting, I reckon, given what was her selling point in terms of her design, though she is right at my limit of what I think looks somewhat sensible. Gloria meanwhile has been taking its sweet time, being an amalgamation of 2 different models that I've had to bash together owing to missing meshes and textures and a preference for another body. It was a laborious process to fit the clothes to another body, but also a good practice, giving me some further understanding of the process. I'm fairly happy with how she turned out and generally like her design, so hopefully she'll get some of the spotlight in the future. Valby was a pretty straightforward case of sculpting and fitting, so she's sliding into the gallery with some relative grace compared to the process of the other two.

While these three have entered the gallery this week, a host of other models have also been added to the work queue, many from the Tekken franchise. I'll see when I get around to getting them sorted, but sorted they will be.

October Announcement:

Two things will happen in October, one being the new schedule going into effect (one less loop per month, so as to give me more time to work on projects, rest up, etc) and the other being that we're testing out our first ever fully themed month with the ladies featured also being constrained by the month's holiday theme.

October is of course the home of Halloween and generally, across many nations, other holidays pertaining to spirits and the likes, so the constraints being put into place are among those lines - meaning we'll have a gallery of ladies consisting of those from horror games, vampires and generally otherworldly girls. Suffice to say the cooldowns for the Alley Crew are paused during this month, given its special circumstances, and regular scheduling will resume in November. I've tried coming up with a comprehensive list from the gallery of those ladies that qualify, and here's what I have so far:

Ada Wong (Resident Evil 4: Remake)

Alcina Dimitrescu (Resident Evil: Village)

Ashley Graham (Resident Evil 4: Remake)

Bayonetta (Bayonetta)

Claire Redfield (Resident Evil 2: Remake)

Donna Beneviento (Resident Evil: Village)

Eliza (Tekken)

Excella Gionne (Resident Evil 5)

Helena Harper (Resident Evil 6)

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil 3: Remake)

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil 5)

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City)

Morrigan (Darkstalkers)

Nyotengu (Dead or Alive)

Ranni the Witch (Elden Ring)

Rangiku Matsumoto (Bleach)

Sadako (The Ring)

Serana (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)

Sheva Alomar (Resident Evil 5)

Sylvanas Windrunner (Warcraft)

Yoruichi (Bleach)

Good lord the Patreon text editor does not like copying and pasting. Regardless, feedback is appreciated and if you think another lady in the gallery (Female Model List here: LINK) belongs on this list for Spooky Month, feel free to shout - chances are I've missed some owing to my lacking understanding of their lore as well. Conversely, I can promise I'll hear you out, but I will say that I'm not committing the girl to the list above without some pretty good reasons.

Something I've wracked my brain trying to come up with is other holidays that might correspond with a sensibly sized roster of ladies as well, and the best I've come up with otherwise is Milf May (mother's day happening during that month at varying points), but I don't want to take away too many months a year from the voting populace as things are. I might just poll the community on the matter and see what you all think. To make things clear too - other holidays will retain its usual structure with regular voting and will just have the results be a bit themed, so just expect whoever wins polls or her lover to wear a Santa hat or similar when it's Christmas times and the likes. Dedicating an entire month with character constraints like I'm doing for October is something I haven't done before, so I'm curious how it'll be received.

Alright, TL:DR:

Three new characters in gallery.
New Schedule happening in October with one less loop per month.
October content will be Halloween themed, with gallery constraints.

A reminder as well that the Discord LPL vote is about to end tomorrow, so if you belong to those tiers with access, make sure to get in there and get that vote in!

I completely forgot I was meant to take Fridays off so I got some more stuff sorted instead, but thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. Humidity is once more attacking the home of yours truly, yet the air is too cool to effectively utilize my trusted old fan. Sometimes, all you can do is persist.

Take care of yourselves out there, as well as each other!
