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!
