April 2024 :: HexCorp Monthly Bulletin (Patreon)
Content
Hello, dear drones. Hex here.
I promise this isn’t an April Fool’s post. This is an actual monthly update.
The last couple of months have had me pretty busy so I’ve kept missing out on writing one of these, so I am determined to have a lot in this one to cover that off!
Let’s start with the big project first:
HexCorp Drone Enforcement Loop
So this is finally finished! I’ll be posting the video link publicly in a couple of weeks or so. This took so much longer than it should have, and for a month after I was determined I would never work on another audio file ever again (thankfully I got over myself).
I also honestly had no idea if this was any good or not until listening to it a week ago without the stress of 8 months of work on my shoulders, at which point it did fade into the background and help me focus on my work (just as intended). It is mindless, it will obey etc~
I could keep adding to this, but now that the video is sorted I am inclined to leave this project in what I consider to be a completed state! And I really, really hope those who’ve watched and listened to it have enjoyed the experience ♥
Patreon’s Community Guideline Changes
I suspect you’ve possibly already seen reference to this on social media, but as of last month Patreon has made a significant change to their Adult/18+ category, specifically around how consent and non-consent are portrayed.
I tend to not talk about this sorta stuff and just go with the flow, quietly adapting my work to whatever changes happen to come along, but gosh this was pretty impactful so I figured I should cover everything it address this time around.
To summarize, if there is a situation portrayed in the work where consent is ambiguous, there needs to be a really clear indication of consent beforehand. ‘Consensual non-consent’ is strictly prohibited.
What this effectively means for this page is that bondage is a no-go unless the participant really clearly indicates otherwise in the creation of the set/video. Participants being very obviously hypnotized is also a no-go unless, again, they express consent before the hypnosis takes place within the set/video.
On the other hand, hypnosis aimed at the viewer is fine. So files or works involving things like spirals pointed at the camera are okay (this is important as there are quite a lot of hypnosis file creators on this platform). Drone photos themselves are also okay as, at the end of the day, it is just latex robot cosplay.
This has led to the following situation however…
I Spent Last Week Working Really Hard Because Suddenly For Inexplicable Reasons The Projects I Was Working On Had To Be Scrapped
I had two pretty big videos in the works that I was very excited to post here which I no longer can. I’m not going to complain about this too much, but effectively last week was dedicated to making things that I can post to Patreon. These include:
Latex ASMR
Drone stretching routine
Drone photos
More drone photos
Drones reflecting spirals
So many drone photos oh my gosh
Drone shining a pillow for some reason, and then squishing it like its a plushie and I swear this was cute you’ll just have to wait for me to edit it but trust me it was adorable
More drone photos
A 5-second video of a drone dabbing that I am still debating to myself if I really want to be known for
This has made the last couple of months where I’ve had this incredible video in my back pocket feel like somewhat of a waste, but the sudden pressure has then forced me to innovate in new directions to stay compliant with community guidelines while also (hopefully) creating incredible stuff.
It’s both a shame but also I’m positive about what’s going to come out of it.
The Really Big Project
I don’t want to give too many details on this until I actually have something to show for it, but I wanted to state that just because the Drone Enforcement Loop took way longer than expected and took so much out of me doesn’t mean I’ve been put off making these bigger things! I did immediately start working on another big project, one that is significantly larger, and I’m looking forward to sharing progress when I have something to show for it!
Slightly Less Big Projects
You may have seen the collaboration I did with projectMSMR recently! That was such a delightful experience, we cooked that up sporadically in less than 24 hours and we’re really excited about what we can make next.
The recent batch of YCH Chambers have now been fully drawn by Plasma, and it’s up to me to get them uploaded to the website (I’ve done half of them, gonna try and get the other half done today also!)
Other than that, things are just ticking along nicely! Really happy with what I’ve been creating as of late, I just need to make sure I’m keeping Patreon regularly updated with it also.
Thank you for reading and hope you all had a wonderful bunny day ♥
