Progress Report, 28/10 - 22

Hello everyone and welcome to another in the line of progress reports!

Above is a higher quality version of what will become the image for my Twitter sticky post - hope you like it :)

I figured I would give a quick overview of current projects being worked on, in the immediate. Note that these are the most pressing projects in the works, and that there are a handful more that I don't present here but which are, by whatever measure, still in the works. Please Patreon, don't mess this up with your immensely weird text formating:

Twitter 15k Celebration - aka "The Miranda Piece"

Originally meant to the a short 15k twitter follower celebration piece, this one bloated beyond its original scope and now has a runtime of a good 2 minutes of sex scenes. While my motivation for the project is at an all-time low, I have paid good money for the voice acting involved and will thus, no matter what, feel compelled to finish it one way or another. Chances are I will get a burst of either motivation or desperation in the near future, and simply manage to push it out the door. Regardless, I work away at it whenever there is opportunity to, and it is coming along.

Twitter 20k Celebration - Unnamed Ivy project

Concepts are still in the works, though I have managed to narrow it down to a few that the discord crew is weighing in on. Ivy and Lizardman goes like bread and butter, so I don't foresee any issues with this project once I finally have it properly in the works - I am also trying to limits its scope, not letting it bloat like the Miranda one did, so when it's this one's turn to be put through the motions, I foresee it a much, much quicker venture. Also, it's Ivy - I'm kind of a big fan, so motivation will be high.

The Convict

Having faced no less than two complete script rewrites, and potentially suffering a third, The Convict isn't so much in limbo as it's stuck in something of a small development hell. I already had a good few ideas which I managed to distill into a singular project (one not requiring much in the way of male VAs, owing to feedback) which then immediately got upended when Leguymelef released his excellent ME2-capable variant of Jack. What I'm struggling with here in the present, aside from the other projects bearing down on my shoulders, is the fact that I probably have 3 or 4 projects in mind featuring Jack and some Blue Suns, and I can really only do one. Chances are I'll be writing up a small summary for each scenario and putting them to a poll for you all to decide which to prioritize, saving the others for some later occasion.

I am also planning a Christmas project of some description, if a shorter thing than what I did last year. This one might take precedence to the Convict, depending on how much time Miranda and Ivy steals for me here over the coming months. Another poll, after I give this some consideration, probably coming up.

And that's it for the more immediate projects. While I have more of them, most of which are significantly larger than the ones above, these are the ones that I'm actively working on as of this very moment. The Miranda project in particular has proven something of a roadblock, effectively sitting in the way of me working on other stuff owing to its chronological nature (Know how I usually ping-pong between different projects? This is why) and generally being a pain in my side. It will be finished however, and it will be done... adequately. I can promise that much.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. These have been some rough weeks lately, but things are looking a bit brighter on the horizon, so fingers crossed that I get some more time to spend on this stuff. Worst case, I will try to take a week off from my day job at some point, if anything to just finish up a project, and then continue from there, hoping my energy reserves keep up.

On that note, take care of yourselves, and each other.
