End of Month Update (Patreon)

Hey all, it's been a little while, hasn't it. 😅

Thank you all for being so patient this past month, I appreciate it a lot!

This month has been very busy for me, in a good way though!

So, let's do some recap and some plans for next month.

TLDR;

• Busy with Game, no spare time
• Comic updating this week with 4 pages
• New game coming out in April
• Patreon changes not coming until March
• Cup O' Love not dead, just sleeping
• Wrap-up: stay safe and thank you for your support!

Why so busy?

This past month, I have had a few things going on at the same time; working on commissions and working crunch time on my upcoming game.

Normally, I am super quick with commissions, but lately I have been a little slow in producing them like I used to. So at most, I can get them done 2 a week. And I still have plenty to complete at this point, so I am taking my time to make sure they are good quality more than anything else.

When I'm not working on the commissions, I have spent the majority of my time working extremely hard on getting my game, Hard Times at Sequoia State Park, to a point where we can get it on Steam and fully released by April this year.

That's pretty much been where most of my time has been devoted to.

Because of the crunch of the game, and the urge to complete commissions, I haven't had much time or energy to plan the new comic properly this month. More about that in the next part...

The New Comic!

Having come off from the last Variety comic, Perverted 2, I needed some time to come up with a concept for a new one this month.
It took a week or two to get the idea created and make the first 2 pages, but since then I haven't had much time to get more out in the last week.

Because of the workload recently, I asked my good friend Hizzacked to help me plan out the next pages of the comic! 

She's been an amazing help with this, and because of her, I can move on to getting the next few pages ready this week!

There will be a 4-page update by this Wednesday/Thursday if not sooner!

So please look forward to the new pages this week, and in the following weeks as well.
I'll probably be able to do multiple pages a week to make up for the lack of them in January.

The Game!

For those that don't know about my project that I've been working on, it's a Interactive Novel called Hard Times at Sequoia State Park. 

It's a game based off of the comic by Hizzacked called Sequoia State, and we've been collaborating on it since 2019!

The last year has been full of hardship, but we have worked extremely hard to make this thing happen, regardless of the past, and we are excited to finally be coming close to being finished with it.

I'll have some more announcements regarding it soon, but if you want more information on it, you can head over to our Patreon page to see what it's about.

Patreon Changes mentioned in the last update.

This one is regarding this update: https://www.patreon.com/posts/end-of-month-60388769

Because I have been a little busy with everything, I'll postpone making any changes to this Patreon campaign until next month, March.

It doesn't feel right to force changes just yet, since this past month hasn't been the most productive for my campaign. So I will wait just a bit longer until I can properly make the changes with everyone ready for them.

 Cup O' Love

There's not much else to say for this at the moment except that I still plan to continue the story, I just haven't had the opportunity to sit done and do it. 

For this and to those waiting, I am sorry for the delay, and promise a return of our favorite coffee gals, Mya and Janet.

I love too much to let them just end, and I will bring them back for certain!

That's it for the update!

Thank you all so much for reading this and sticking with me for so long!

Your support means everything to me, so please consider continuing pledging to my campaign if you are able and are safe to do so! 

I know the pandemic has been rough for everyone, and your well-being is important to me first and foremost!

Love you all and stay safe out there!
