I’ll try to keep this short — this isn’t meant to be a long rant, just a quick update about our future plans and the direction of the stories we’re currently running.
Let’s address the elephant in the room first: yes, it’s about income. Financially speaking, keeping up with even one story is tough. Most of our revenue comes from social media engagement, and many series struggle to stay alive for long. Social media has become such a fast-paced, high-consumption environment that running a story without adult content alongside it feels like a nail in the coffin for an indie studio like ours.
We’re also aware that there have been plenty of complaints about us axing old series and starting new ones. Those decisions weren’t based only on financial performance, but also on audience attention and feedback. For example, some titles didn’t generate much income — like Eldritch Co-worker — but showed strong potential thanks to the positive response from our audience.
So, what does this mean moving forward?
It means we’ll be focusing more on short, self-contained stories instead of long-running series. This approach fits better with the limited platforms we currently use — mainly Twitter (X) and Instagram.
This shift also opens up a new direction: adapting our stories into animated shorts, a broader form of media that works better in today’s video-driven landscape.
Now, back to the main topic — what purpose will these short stories serve, and how do they connect to our long-term vision?
Simple: if a story flops, we don’t have to keep it running and bleed our resources. It can just stay as a one-shot. It might sound a bit irresponsible, but that’s the reality. Some concepts work, some don’t — and with limited time and resources, these short, flexible projects are our best solution for the coming period.
And of course, we don’t want these stories to go to waste. They’ll serve as stepping stones to build a shared universe, where you can learn more about the world and the characters within it. This will create room for crossovers, deeper lore, and interconnected storylines.
To be clear — we’re not axing any current series. Instead, we’re treating them as pieces of a larger puzzle, connecting together to reveal a broader world.
Here’s where each project currently stands:
Eldritch Co-worker — Still a solid part of our studio’s identity, so we’re keeping it as a series (though releases will be slower).
Rotten Petal — Our experiment with gag rom-com. It didn’t perform as well as we hoped, but it’s a valuable learning experience rather than a financial one.
Insomniac Worker — A short, easy-to-digest series that performed really well across all platforms and shows strong financial potential. Definitely keeping this one.
Adult content — A must-have. Most of our supporters enjoy both the story and the erotic elements, so we’ll keep pushing for more quality adult content alongside strong narratives.
(Any projects not mentioned here will be paused or put on a longer break, until we find a better time or opportunity to continue them.)
That being said, we hope these changes will make things more stable and give us more creative freedom than sticking with traditional long-running series. We truly hope our dear supporters can understand and continue to welcome new stories with open arms.
