State of the Patreon (9/17/2021) (Patreon)
Content
Dear Patrons:
There’s something lovely about September, isn’t there? The weather is cooler, college freshmen are learning more than just their minds are being broadened, and a seemingly endless parade of holiday feasting and imbibing is just around the corner. Of course, there’s much more “around the corner” here at Mavrip. What, you ask? Read on:
* The stakes are getting as high as the weights of the girls in the “Harem on the Hill”! Glad you seem to be enjoying the serial’s developments! (A special thanks to Michael and WankA12 for their continued correspondence and encouragement.) Expect a new chapter to hit the Patreon on Monday or Tuesday.
*I’ve been working diligently on the next One Night Adventure game (officially titled “The Tudor”) and am optimistic it will be ready for beta testing next month. It’s grown bigger than I ever intended (just like the red-headed hottie at the adventure’s center!), but I’m pleased with how it’s coming together.
*As for the planned 25th Anniversary festivities for "The Lesson," my seminal weight-gain tale from 1996, I’ll let my pal Riptoyx bring everyone up to speed:
Regarding our plans for the special 25th Anniversary Edition of "The Lesson," we have some bad news and some good news. On the disappointing side, we recently learned that due to unforeseen events Magmaman probably will not be able to complete the contemplated illustrations within a time that lines up with our release target. It's unfortunate but such things happen. Yet even this sad cloud has a silver lining--quite literally, in fact. Unwavering in our commitment to include an illustrated component as part of the release, we've now also enlisted up-and-coming illustrator SilverPathfinder to create a 9-part set of original custom illustrations based on "The Lesson." So, when we release the anniversary edition you'll all be getting exclusive early access to those SilverPathfinder illustrations plus potentially more original illustrations from Magmaman later on.
Thanks Rip! I love Magma’s work, of course, but am excited to work with SilverPathFinder. Her illustrative style is a bit more whimsical and playful than Magma’s, which will add a different flavor. Check it out: https://www.deviantart.com/silverpathfinder.
*I don’t want to spoil all the celebratory surprises, but I will clue you in on one other fun bit of content we’ve been coordinating for the occasion: A special narrated version of “The Lesson” voiced by our friend and Patreon partner in crime, GoodGirlGrow! Soon, instead of just reading about poor Susan outgrowing her Burger World uniform you’ll be able to see it and hear it!
I hoped to end this SOTP with an official release date for our anniversary project, but we’re not QUITE ready to announce it yet. We don’t want to make promises we can’t keep and, as we learned with Magma’s situation, the more third-party artisans involved the greater the risk of delays and distractions…especially in these crazy times. Thank you for your understanding.
And, as always, thank you for your patronage! None of the good stuff on the horizon would be possible without you!
Sincerely—
Maverick
