August 2025: monthly review

Last month (August 2025)

  • My Patreon account was deleted, and now I’m on SubscribeStar. (Thanks to their support team for approving my account.)
    • It was probably going to happen sooner or later. But the way Patreon went about it, like with so many other NSFW creators, was quite poor really. No warning, just immediate account deletion and no serious response to my appeal. And, because memberships are tied to the same account, I can’t support the creators on Patreon with the same identity. I wouldn’t recommend them at all anymore. 
    • I spent some time dealing with the fallout, investigating alternative funding platforms, etc. 
  • I followed up with the artist I approached to work on the art for Surrendr. This is going ahead, but with no timeline as we are both busy. 
  • Publication of Danny Carmen Caged is complete at Telemachus12.com, including an epilogue that I wrote specially for the site. 
  • Ass Assassin Round 3: I got a fair amount of prep for this complete, and plan to work on this in September. The first chapter is here on GaySpiralStories. 
  • Santa’s Sweatshop: minor update to set NPC images to be hidden by default, and update social media links. 

Next month (September 2025)

  • All four of my games on Itch.io: these will receive minor updates to remove Patreon and add SubscribeStar links. 
  • I’ll post Danny Carmen, Caged as an archive version on my website towards the end of the month. 
  • Ass Assassin Round 3: I’ll work on a failure ending for this and try to continue the main plot for this. 
  • Surrendr: I keep saying I’ll work on this, but let’s see how the month goes. 
  • I’ll be helping out with the next Plothole game jam organised by Time at some point.

A note on the tiers here: as SubscribeStar tiers are priced in USD, I’ve set them to approximate 5 and 10 GBP, which matches what I was setting on Patreon.

I added some goals/target amounts to show what I’m paying in website costs and commissioning art for Surrendr.

And as usual… I’m around on the Homotextual Gaming Guild Discord server, where you can message me, discuss my creative projects, and grab dev builds of my current games. If you’re a fan of gay-focused interactive fiction, come and say hello!

March 2025: monthly review

Last month (March 2025)

I haven’t been working much on my creative projects in the last few months – life has been busy. On the story front I published an account of my time at Darklands 2025 which you can read on Literotica: https://www.literotica.com/s/a-darklands-diary-2025

Next month (April 2025)

Working on Surrendr remake.

I have a couple of other projects in the pipeline:

  • I’ll be helping out with the next Plothole game jam organised by Time. You can see the results of the first Plothole jam here: https://itch.io/b/1383/plothole-loregasm-edition. More on this later!
  • Ass Assassin Round 3 is in early planning stages, working with A Voyeur Fan.

I also want to change up the tiers on this Patreon, and change the currency from USD to GBP, so for now until July, probably, I’ll be pausing billing, and there’ll be a reset in due course.

I’m around on the Homotextual Gaming Guild Discord server, where you can message me, discuss my creative projects, and grab dev builds of my current games. If you’re a fan of gay-focused interactive fiction, come and say hello!

Many thanks to all my patrons and followers for your support!

October 2024: monthly review

Last month (October 2024)

Still working on the initial framework and mechanics of Surrendr. Not much to show yet, sorry!

  • But as a little teaser, I’ve attached the default face pic for a character in the game called Jack Harnham, a.k.a. Surrendr user ldn_dominant, who will be the ‘captor’ in Surrendr. Image from GeneratedPhotos.

I also pushed a bugfix for The Zhonghua ZeroDay, taking the current version to 1.7.2.

Next month (November 2024)

Working on Surrendrremake. I’m working to get something basic and playable out.

September 2024: monthly review

Last month (September 2024)

Work has started on Surrendr remake. So far it’s been me re-familiarising myself with the development plan, and getting the skeleton of the game ready.

Next month (October 2024)

Working on Surrendrremake. Not much news I’m afraid. I’m working to get something basic and playable out.

A reminder: Patreon is mandating its creators to switch to subscription billing (instead of first-day-of-month or per-creation billing). You can read more about this change in Patreon’s news post here. From November 2024, I’ll allow my Patreon page to switch over to subscription billing along with most other creators.
