May update (Patreon)

Hi all!

I'm pleased to say that progress on the sitting sex scene seems to be going well so far. This will be a bit more challenging than a typical sex scene because I need to make broader changes to the makeout scene and some of my plans there are a bit ambitious. Still, I'm optimistic that it'll come out well without too much crunch at the end of the month.

An initial problem was that some possible sitting sex positions felt too similar to existing content: straddling your partner felt like it'd be almost a clone of cowgirl while lying on your back on the couch felt very similar to missionary.

In the end, my decision for the sitting sex scene was to have the pc lying face-down on the sofa. This obviously will have some crossover with the doggy-style scene (which, along with standing-behind, shares a superclass with the new one) but I'm using sub-positions to keep it distinct.

In the new scene, there's 4 sub-positions possible, mostly decided on by your partner: a "normal" position, a "pressed-down" one where he's resting his weight on your shoulder-blades, a "wrists-held" one where he's pinning your wrists above your head and a "hugged" one (which is treated as submissive, not as a romantic sub-position) where he lies on top of you wrapping his arms around your body and pinning your arms to your sides.

I've also been trying to get back into game-two work with a focus on what are for me the hardest and least enjoyable parts: currently the UI. Sadly there's an enormous amount of work needed there: the UI is functional but that's not the same as looking good or being comfortable and easy to use. I have an idea of what I want it to look like, and hopefully I can get it to an approximation of that given enough time.

Content additions for game-two have largely stalled. An attempt to hire an artist last year fell through. I will need to find another, but I want to wait until the UI is better: it'd be very hard for me to oversee artwork while developing both Newlife and game-two's UI at the same time.

Well, I hope you're all doing well. Stay safe and take care of yourselves!
