A Wild Ride Still to Come (Patreon)

I'm sure you've already read a plethora of posts about recapping the previous year and plans for the current one. I won't bore you with any pithy phrases or what have you. This post is about staying true to your own ideals. I normally avoid personal stuff and prefer to stick to writing about my created content, but this post spans both.

I wasn't happy with the reveal of Motherhood. What I revealed may have had some of my personal flair, but it felt hollow. To be honest, the concern over success and perception was causing me to burn out. I have been working on Fantasy Dating every week since July, but I haven't been working as much I should recently be because of these concerns and other real-life issues.

The emptiness I felt was due to the supposed necessity to create something more mainstream. I am not, nor will I ever be mainstream. I thought hard about what I wanted and then followed my brain to this:

These raven-haired beauties (youngest daughter on left, mother on right) will be the other side of the blonde sister's accident story arc. MC will deal with the drama of romancing conflicting sides of two families affected by the same tragedy. Tempers will boil, tears will flow, and old wounds will heal.

To be crystal clear: I am not fetishizing amputees. The attractiveness of the eldest daughter, and the raven-haired family as a whole, stems from their celebration of life and perseverance over unfortunate circumstances. Their story arc focus will be on their positive attitude towards loss, not as much on the ramifications of the loss itself. The romancing and sex scenes of these characters will contain intimacy, eroticism, and a sprinkling of humor just like any of the others I've made.

The ability to crack a joke and laugh at your circumstances should not be underestimated. None are immune to the slings and arrows of life. I create VN's because I have something to say. And I say it by having the player experience what I mean through my VN's. My original design for MH didn't say anything other than "look here for hot chicks banging each other".

I now feel energized to return to work on FD and excited to start on MH when the time comes. With the addition of this new set of characters, that nagging voice in the back of my mind is satisfied (for now). This is the direction I want to take MH regardless of how it may be received. I can't know if this shift will be more or less financially successful, but I do know that I'd rather go down in flames than sell out.

Like the title says, if you're sticking with me then strap in, because 2021 is going to be a wild ride.
