Some early surprises...
🕑 Added 2023-12-08 11:00:05 +0000 UTCIt’s almost the end of the year, so time for my updates. This one comes with treats, as you’ll already see. I’ve been experimenting more with my 3D modelling and here are some early results. Hopefully you’ll recognise what they’re from.
Enclownter at the Big Top has been well-received so far, which encouraged me to dive into something more elaborate. The obvious choice was to adapt Under the Table, seeing as that’s a complete interactive story all there and waiting. I have just about everything I need to make the entire book into a visual novel/game, but it’s a big project. I’ve had to take a little step back to stop it overwhelming me, so it’s coming in small pieces for now.
I wanted to produce something simpler in the meantime, and decided to focus on a comic adaptation of Shelby’s TV Dinners. It’s coming along nicely so far, and fingers crossed I should have the complete comic ready in January – naturally, I’ll share it with all my Patrons here first.
What I’ve been gathering is that my computer’s capable of more than I expected, so I’m keen to delve into more multi-media content. I’m going to commit to sharing it here; my plan at the moment is to post my works in progress on Fridays, for additional exclusive weekly updates. These will be available to all tiers.
Where’s that leave us for stories? Hunting Rogues in getting into its swing now, and that should run through December and up to the end of January, released weekly on Mondays. Midwinter Shrinker is also storming ahead weekly on Wednesdays, and will be all done just before Christmas.
My plan then is to take a break over Christmas itself, returning with more in the New Year (should have a chapter ready to go January 1st!), with the Shelby comic being the bigger January release.
There’s a wealth to choose from for stories from February onwards. I’m deciding between a sci-fi romp (giant alien invaders, anyone?) or another contemporary tale (the third Sensus Supra instalment, maybe a follow-up to Giant Lesbians, possibly something completely different). Either way there’ll be a weekly serial again, maybe two depending on how things go. I’ll also start thinking now about what to follow Shelby with for another comic.
For eBooks, the advance Midwinter Shrinker should be due in the next week or two and Hunting Rogues early January, with regular eBook subscribers getting both when the serials finish. And I’ll publish Monster of Mtubu widely at some point.
Phew, that’s a lot. Just leaves me to say enjoy the remaining posts leading up to Christmas, then I wish you all a restful and rewarding holiday!
