*January Update* Happy New Year! (Patreon)

Hey Gearheads!

What a wild year 2022 was.
Even though our goal is to do weekly releases and there are 52 weeks in the year we knocked out 61 VR Videos! So you guys got some serious bonus action and that's not counting the releases that came with multiple versions.

Initially, I had a few ideas on the direction I wanted to take VRA, but I wanted to make sure you guys were on board with it, so instead of being the sole decider, I opened it up to you guys to vote.  You guys voted for us to focus on more immersive videos, so that has been the goal for this year and I'm happy to say that we've knocked out 7 featured animations this year!  Before that we focused just as much on dialogue as the sex scenes and it took us like 2 and a half years to do 2 of them.  Pulling out the dialogue is a rough sacrifice but the tide is shifting on that and I'm sure 2023 will provide us with some new opportunities to bring dialogue back in one way or another.

The results of the Poll are in and the majority of you guys want us to stay the course.  That's like 3 straight voting cycles for the faster style of the more immersive videos, so those of you asking about the giant projects like Galactic VRA and the Huntress Hole, well the people have spoken.  Not to say those will be completely dropped, so here's how I want to focus the first half of next year:

VR Videos Advanced

These will continue to be the main focus.  I'll plan on having 2-3 of these in progress at any given time.  1 or 2 that are commissioned, and the 1 or 2 that can be pulled from an existing artist we collab with, new artists, or even something I animate myself.  The commissioned versions of these can take anywhere from 1-3 months to finish depending on the animator and their workload, which is why we'll be running multiples.  That way we can try to have one of these every month.

Gaming POV

A sizable number of you voted for Gaming POV as well and I want to let you know I noted and I have plans.  I've always been working on gaming stuff in the background and keeping up with stuff as much as I have time for, which admittedly isn't much when keeping up with the weekly content.  However, I've been talking to people about the recent developments in Unreal and after the last failed attempt at a Quest build in Unity, I'm going to do some more testing in Unreal.  I was able to get a VR template working but couldn't get an animated character in, so that's the goal.  If that goes well I could be able to bring in the whole Huntress Hole Environment for desktop VR and fill it up little by little, while also having some self-contained scenes.  Trying to do POV like the old days is going to be challenging without a programmer, since the camera has to stay at one point and everything about gaming VR is the opposite of that, but Voyeur scenes would be a good re-entry point to get that kind of content flowing again.

Finally, we'll end things with a recap of the Featured videos of 2022.

And the Most Popular Featured Video of the Year goes to:

Flying High with Android 18!

That was a fun one to plan out with you guys and I guess you really were starved for anime waifus.  So I've been trying to throw more of them in the mix and I'll continue to do so as well as include them in the community votes.

Thank you guys so much for a wonderful 2022.  I'm truly thankful for all your support that allows me to do stuff this fun, exciting, creative and lewd.  We've really pushed the boundaries in 2022 from 2021 and I plan on keeping that momentum going.  I'm really excited about new tools and partnerships that will enhance the production workflow and bring even higher quality lewds to you guys faster.

Here's to an amazing 2023 and Happy New Year to you and yours!
