Update - Shizu surrounded (Patreon)

tl;dr - The Nobuko/Shizu threesome is coming along for the next release; Lord Goblin is progressing but I'm not able to announce a demo release date yet.

This week's images

Here's a few of shots from the Nobuko/Shizu threesome, involving Shizu being undressed by Shuji and Nobuko! These were part of the work I've been doing this week on the scene. Click on them for the full, un-blurry detail size, of course.

Working on the Nobuko/Shizu threesome scenes

There's three scenes I've had to work to finish up - two dates with the pair of ladies and then the threesome itself. These are built in as a game system, so you'll get an additional dating button option sometimes that will become available and you can take one daytime date with the pair, one night time date with them, and then the sex scene.

I've made pretty good progress on these scenes, so I think there's a reasonably good chance I can get them all into the next release. That'll be a substantial content update and should include some voice acting, too.

The other pairings might be a little harder to finish so quickly because in this case I had a lot of the work done already. I don't have as much done for those yet, although I do have some work prepared for Emi/Nobuko and Emi/Shizu, so they'll happen once inspiration strikes me.

Update from Patreon about taxes

This info is from Patreon:

Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in  most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by  law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places:  Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand,  Florida, and Kansas.  If you live in one of those places, you should see  a small amount of tax added to your pledge starting July 15th for per  post, and August 1st for monthly.

Update on Lord Goblin

I've been inclined not to go on and on about this project on this Patreon, since I'll be keeping the funding separate and I want to make sure there's no ambiguity about that. I also don't want too much pressure on Lord Goblin yet, as I need the luxury for the game to develop slowly for now until it reaches a critical mass that's ready to show to the public.

Anyway, in terms of news, the game is getting more playable. It's not yet ready enough because I want something like the full gameplay loop in place and looking fairly clean before I put it out as a demo, but it's coming together. I'd also like some more of the art done, just to help us have a buffer in advance of needing content to release.

Production of the art in particular can take a long time; I wish there were a way to speed it up but the artists just basically need to be able to work at their own pace unless you're able to pay a full time salary and since the game's not getting any funding at all yet except from my own pocket, that's not really possible.

I am raring to go with it, though. I've got a lot of stuff aligned and prepared for the eventual launch, so once I can finally fire the starting gun it'll come together nicely, I think. I can't give you a definite release date on that yet, I'm afraid, but once you see me start to drop promotional stuff about the characters you'll know I'm working up to release day.

What do you think of how the Nobuko/Shizu threesome is shaping up? Let me know in the comments below!
