Status of Projects and Moving Forward (Patreon)
Content
I've got a lot of projects going right now, and this month I decided to do a little experiment to see what would get the most support. That way I know what I should be focusing on.
The Experiment
Here's what happened, I released two games in the first half of the month, CH Resort and then Teach Me. I then waited about a week and released Mistress Everly as an early access VaM look on the VaM Hub, then waited another week and released the Ms. Hartley look. I then gave it some time to see if more people would trickle in or not.
First, I'll talk about CH Resort. People really rebelled against CH Resort and there's only one patron here from it. People just accused me of stealing videos and throwing them in a game. Even though it was a lot more work than that. I did use animations that other people made, but I only used videos that are available for free and made sure to keep the credits in. I honestly had hoped to give some exposure to these animators, but since people rebelled so hard against it I wont be really working on it. I may do one more tier to finish out the game, but that's it. I do still like the idea, and I really enjoy playing it. So I'll keep making videos in my free time, but it's not something I'll be actively doing or promoting.
Then I released Teach Me v0.4, and got 1 patron. This just makes me think that people really don't care about it. I'll be finishing it up because I already did a lot of the work, and I want to see it done, but it's not something I'll be actively doing. I also wont be going forward with the rest of the MMC series. I will release all of the looks and animations I had done for it though.
Next I released the Mistress Everly look and got 2 patrons. Which I'm pretty happy with. I'm glad there's a couple people here that liked her enough to get early access.
And finally, I released the Ms. Hartley as a paid look and got 6 patrons.
Going Forward
According to this, the VaM content is what people really want. So that's what I'm going to be consistently focusing on. I'll be releasing VaM content at least twice a month from now on. Either looks or scenes. Starting next week.
That being said, I do still enjoy making games and am going to keep working on them. Most notably I'm going to be focusing on A Perfect Ten as the primary game I'm working on. But it is going to get less attention than the VaM content, and CH content and Teach Me will be getting less than both.
I've been working on A Perfect Ten for a long time and it's a real passion project of mine. One of the reasons I was working on the MMC series was to get support so that I could make APT as great as I want it to be, but since that isn't exactly panning out, I'm just going to do what I can with what I have on my own. I'll post some more details about the game and share some renders sometime next month.
The End
And that's all for now. If you're one of the few people here for CH content or Teach Me, I won't be upset if you unpledge. I completely understand. If you'd still like to support me, I would definitely appreciate it though!
Until next time.
