State of the Patreon (8/14/20) (Patreon)

Dear Patrons:

We’ve officially reached the dog days of summer. Ordinarily, this time of year I’d be enjoying Corona by the pool, not hiding from it inside with a mask on! Fortunately, this page has been a great distraction and our interactions with you, our fine patrons, have been wonderful. We’re all in this together and together we’ll get through this.

Although I’m not fond of the “new normal,” it’s aided our prolificacy and we have a lot of cool stuff going on behind the scenes. I find myself torn between “spilling the beans” and keeping things on the down-low, but since this is a SOTP I’m going to let a few beans slip ;).

*I’m working diligently on my follow-up to “One Night Adventure” and it’s coming together well. I’ve learned quite a bit from my first experience, and I expect this one will be bigger and better. Riptoryx suggested a preview might be in order and I’m considering it…though I don’t want to spend time compiling a preview when the finish line is getting close. Either way, expect an update by the end of the month!

*Speaking of adventures, Riptoryx is knee-deep in his Mass Effect game (first previewed here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/reveal-trailer-39012051). It’s quite the undertaking so he’s not ready to share more particulars quite yet. However, he has made some revisions with the helpful advice of Kestrel, one of our esteemed patrons and a Mass Effect fan, so that it more faithfully pays homage to the source material. Below is a sneak-peek at the revised start screen: 

*For your weekend reading/viewing pleasure, I’m compiling content to highlight our recent commissioned work for “One Night Adventure” and “Diagnosis: Feeder.” In addition to calling attention to Asaragi and Monomaniac’s excellent illustrations, I’ll be going over some of the back-and-forth interactions (and titillating rough-drafts) that led to their creation. You may find the process amusing…especially since I’m still getting used to this whole collaboration thing.

*A new chapter of “The Harem on the Hill” just dropped yesterday and I hope you’re enjoying the time-forward. Fresh recruits, fresh pounds…and a whole bunch of fresh choices! I can’t wait to see where you take things! 

That’s it for now. Please continue to stay safe and healthy…and drop us a line if you’re inclined. You’re part of the Mavrip family and we love hearing from you.

Best,

Maverick
