March 2023: monthly review

Last month (Mar 2023)

Stories: No progress this month. Forced to Cum is taking a back seat while I work on the games.

Games: Still working on Whodinis Escape Room Challenge. Trello board: https://trello.com/b/d77C4spM/. Dev builds are available on the Homotextual Gaming Guild Discord server. However, because I’m working on the solution to the scenario, dev builds would spoil the solution, so there will be a bit of a large gap between builds.

Next month (Apr 2023)

Stories: Forced to Cum is ongoing at CHYOA.com.

Games: Development to continue on Whodinis Escape Room Challenge. Sorry, not much update news this month.

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!

As always, many thanks to all my patrons for your support!

January 2023: monthly review

We’re already at the end of January? Time flies…

This month I am trying something new. Instead of working on my projects late at night on an irregular schedule, I am using co-working spaces twice a week after my day job. (I’m actually posting this now from a workspace.) This will hopefully be a lot more productive overall. Other than that, I am still working through my current projects, particularly Whodini’s Escape Room Challenge

September 2022: monthly review

Last month (September 2022)

Stories: Nothing to report.

Games: No progress last month due to travel and then laptop needing to be replaced, which is why this monthly review is so late. My new laptop has arrived. I have it set up and ready to go, and fortunately didn’t lose any data relating to my game development. Look out for new incremental builds on the Homotextual Gaming Guild Discord server.

Patreon: Patreon has released a new method of billing patrons called subscription billing. I’ve considered it but am not intending to switch to the new method. This is because I like the current system with a clear monthly cycle that starts and ends with each month. It also has a minor drawback where new patrons can’t sign up if billing has been paused for the month.

Next month (October 2022)

Stories: None planned right now.

Games: Development to continue on Enderon. Trello board: https://trello.com/b/150woSdI/.

Billing was paused last month and is currently paused again for this month, since my work flow was interrupted this month (due to travel + laptop replacement).

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!
