Bad week, new plan (Patreon)

So, things have been fucky. 😅

I mentioned in the dev report that I had a hell week of crashes and errors but things were more stable... well that was only temporary as crashes started happening again and have slowed me down a lot.
When things were stable, I was having a lot of fun with a certain scene in this upcoming beta and I decided to expand on it and take it further as I thought I would have time but boy was I wrong. (Though I'm still happy with how the scene is turning out.)
As it stands at this moment, I have around 17 renders left to make and 6 to re-render. And I have 2 animations that were supposed to render overnight and for half of today but I woke up to one of them crashing 8 frames in and the other one made it to 29 frames in. So there's still a good chunk of work remaining.
This beta will be north of 150 renders (likely around 170 when it's all said and done.) and will have 8 animations.

I had a plan in place that I was going to release this first beta and then wait until next Friday to release the second beta and then see how long I could stick to Friday releases as that was the day that was voted on a while ago. I think with the buffer I've built these past few weeks alongside what I've learned in the past few months that I could hit it more than I miss it at this point. I just have to stop adding on to scenes at the last minute. 😅

But with the current situation, I think I'm going to make the call to hold off on this first beta until this upcoming Friday (The 16th) and take the time to properly finish this beta and bug test and with any additional time I have I'll spend on continuing to build the buffer and to hopefully fix my crash issues. I also just need a little time to mentally reset after all of these crashes, shit has been infuriating lol


So, the release date for this beta is now June 16th at 12pm EDT. All tiers down to Fan will receive it in increments of 2 hours. So it will be fully out to all tiers at 10pm EDT on Friday.
Then a release every Friday after hopefully for as long as I can. Due to these changes there may not be a monthly release in June but all weeklies will be available to all tiers to make up for this. Though after this first beta the releases will follow the usual 24 hours between tiers timing.

And side content, I plan to move forward with the original plans for Client polls, Birthday Renders, and the Character Sheets. There will be a client poll soon after this post still as well.
But I will be putting the DITLO and Sexy Renders on hold until I am caught up on both Bday renders and the Character Sheets.
The main reason for putting the DITLO on hold is so I don't have to release another censored version of one. So I'd like to wait until Jasmine's time to release that DITLO. And Harper's uncensored one will be posted alongside Jasmine's.
And Sexy Renders is just the easiest thing for me to pull back from for the moment to help alleviate the amount on my plate.


That's all I wanted to share.
I apologize for all of the changes to things recently, I've really been trying to protect myself and to find solutions for the problems I've been facing so I can keep this going and make it as sustainable as possible and prevent burnout. I've been having so much fun making all of these scenes but I have felt really bad about how much everything has started to slip from me so I'm making these changes now to stop things from spiraling out from underneath me. I've been working really hard and I still feel like I'm slowly falling further and further behind where I want to be so I hope to reverse that with these changes.
I hope you guys understand and I'm forever grateful for the patience I've been shown and given.
I'm trying my best to achieve a balance of things that I can keep going for a long time and it's taking some trial and error but I truly believe we're close to it.
I hope I've properly illustrated why I'm making these decisions. I've tried not to be too hard on myself and ultimately I'm proud of the amount of content I've made but I'm still very disappointed that I haven't achieved consistent releases yet.
I hate delaying but it makes the most sense to take this time to properly prepare and get everything ready to hit the ground running with these Friday releases and see how that works for me.

Sorry for the book.
If you have any questions about things, feel free to ask!
Thank you for reading this and I'll talk to all of you later.
Take care. 🖤
