Dear patrons,
Now you know my creative activity resumed, I owe all of you an explanation about my long time away and my return to TK17.
First of all, I want to thank each and everyone of you for your fidelity. Your PMs, your comments on my videos... You have no idea how inspiring it is, the sense of accomplishment you give and thus the desire to create and share more content. Thanks a lot, guys. Really. 🙏

😨 PERSONAL BORING STUFF
I have to confess to you I've never been comfortable with this hobby – essentially creating virtual porn – which I had considered shameful a short while ago. So, when deep changes in my personal and professional life occurred three years ago, I jumped at the opportunity to lead a more “ordinary” life (Simple house, 9 - 5 job, a girlfriend...), a life that wouldn't give me the feeling of being a “pervert”. But it was far from simple, it wasn’t just as hectic as spending hours sculpting a new face, animating sexy bodies or creating textures... So I kept creating but in a very irregular way, because I never had enough time... I actually thought that my time on Patreon was over for me.
But then, a few months ago, I experienced a series of unfortunate events that made me realize maybe this ordinary life was not meant for me. I could recall the rare joyous moments of my life, were the times when I was creating. So I returned to my Patreon page and I was surprised by the number of people who had kept following me despite my +3 year break. I read your messages and comments. And after all these years, it became obvious. I need to transform my passion into my job. I don’t know if it will succeed, but at the very least I must try.
Now I have a brand new goal : quit my stressful IRL job and become a full-time 3D artist. And hopefully this dream can come true with support from all of you!

🎁 NEW REWARDS (In September)
To achieve this goal, I had to rethink my system of rewards. Indeed, giving access to more than 80 hours of work for $1 is unfeasible if I am to make a living doing this. However, I still want my creations to be accessible to those who use TK17. So here is the layout of my new reward system that will be set up in September (there won't be any downloadable content until then):
🖱️1$ Basic User
- Access to the catalogue of models (will be updated every new release)
- Get the lite pack of Ultimate Poses (mainly animation loops - about 25% of the full version)
🛠️ 5$ Sequence Maker

💻 VERSION OF THE GAME
All my creations are now designed for THE KLUB 17 – VX. I won't make new content for V7.5. However, my previous packs are still available for V7.5 users.
Hook 5 is optional but strongly recommended. The gaming experience is definitely not the same without this feature.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🍓 CONTENT SHARED ON MODSGARDEN
I'll share voicesets, textures for locations, level definitions for Hook 5 and three poses you'll vote for after the release. It will be a kind of Best of the Ultimate poses !

🙄 MESSAGES & REPLIES TO COMMENTS
I have to improve this point. I'll do my best to answer your comments and questions from now on.
If I can achieve my goal amount, I will be able to respond guaranteed !
Some time ago, I made video tutorials on how to make a clean install of the game, how to install my creations... so don't hesitate to watch them before asking a question. Everyone should save some time.
New content coming in september guys but you will have some other news before !
Cheers 🖖
Nick
