August Progress Update

This past month, I've been busy supporting and marketing Elf Enchanter: Arousing Anima, but things are slowing down now, and I'm working my way back into development hell. Progress is happening as I make my plans to radicalize my next game.

Elf Encanter did pretty well during it's first month. In terms of sales numbers, it is already at over 2500 copies sold on Steam, and compared to my other games, that's a pretty high number for just one month.

However, the low price of the game combined with bundle and sale discounts, payment processing fees, taxes, and Valve's publisher fees eat a lot into that income, and I'm finding that Elf Enchanter, though seemingly my best release yet, is actually making a fair amount less than my previous games.

As a result, this has further cemented my current views on the market, and makes me feel justified about my plans to make Mahou Mating a bigger, more expensive game.

Speaking of which, Mahou Mating has been progressing through development rather smoothly, and a lot of things are falling into place as I prepare for the production of the game's free demo. Many things are finished, including the game's set of background art, UI interface, and pretty much all of the art assets needed for said demo. I've posted some of said art on my DIscord, and I will make a patreon-exclusive post just after this one with just some of the art that has been finished and posted there.

And if you've been following my posts on Discord, you may have also noticed something else... Some sketches from yet another new artist that I'm working with, on a completely new side project.

I have named this side project "Steamy Sextet", and it will be yet another experiment for me in terms of seeing how the market reacts. It will be a short game with six different heroines, and will heavily feature the six different voice actresses I am working with on the project. This project will help me figure out my newly planned system for the voice acting and sound that I'm hoping to refine and utilize in Mahou Mating. I'm currently planning to make it available for a price of $5 on launch, hopefully sometime before the end of the year.

Thank you to everyone once again for your support as I work out my place in the adult games industry, try new things, and attempt to make something good.
