2023 Goals and Roadmap (Patreon)

Gather around Guys and Gals it's big post-time.

Last month gave me some much-needed rest and the opportunity to explore other software to flesh out new ideas that I'll discuss in a minute. But first wanted to say I hope everyone had a great Holiday season. I swear I blinked and it was over. I'm now rested up and excited to start kicking off some big ideas I've been cooking up.

First up - New 3D Animation Software

Currently, I use Studio Neo from illusion for most of my animation work. It's been fine but limiting. I'm constantly looking for new ways to raise the bar, so I've been exploring other software. Illusion did release a new version of Studio Neo, which on paper, it sounds great however, the newest version is not much of an improvement over the previous. Also, a major pain point is that with the latest release, Illusion changed a bunch of the code structure making it nearly impossible for the modding community. Mods play a vital role in the Hentai community. Without mods, it's staggeringly difficult to produce anything. Hopefully, this will change in the near future. Fingers crossed

The other two software I've been looking at is Blender and Reallusion. Both have their pros and cons. Blender of course is incredibly popular in the community. I spent a good amount of time exploring Blender last month and produced some promising images. The issue is of course rendering through cycles. Blender does have a real-time solution, Eevee but compared to the most basic cycles the difference is night n day. Not to say you can't produce great quality with the Eevee, its either I lack the patience or skill yet to get the results I'm looking for.

I'll keep you updated as I explore new options and hopefully debut a new film this year featuring better or updated software.

Collaborations

As I'm sure you are aware, I'm not the only animator out there (shocker I know) and last year I got to meet quite a few Artist. Some have amazing models, that feature original characters for their own designs or models from popular franchises. This year I hope to collab with a few, featuring some of their characters with my touch of animation.

I thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight other artists as well as explore other art styles. Also, continue to work with new Voice Actresses. There are quite a few I got lined up to work with that I'm excited to debut.

Transparency and Communication

If there's one thing I constantly read about when it comes to subscribing to an Artist, is staying informed. Subscribers want to be informed on project status, what's coming up next, and if something going to be delayed. I get that. I myself have subscribed to various artists and its always a bit frustrating when an artist basically goes missing, only drops a casual comment if something is delayed or abandons a project altogether.

I don't want to be that guy. I want you guys to be informed and know what content to expect. Which brings me to...DISCORD.

Yes finally, I got the Discord server up n running and will be sharing a link soon for all of you join in. It's still in the early phases but I hope you find it to be a new home for you to hang out n stuff. (I know its been long overdue.) I'll do my best to be active in the Discord.

Changes to Patreon

In the coming weeks, I will be adding 2 new tiers. A $14.99 tier and a $19.99 tier. DO NOT WORRY - all tiers will offer the same content. Nothing will change. Again - the 9.99 one to the 19.99 tier will all offer the same content.

I am creating these additional tiers to make it more convenient for those who can afford to give more and get like a shiny badge in Discord or something lol.

Now I'll let you guys and gals decide on this. If I were to make some content exclusive to a $14.99 and $19.99 tier. What would it be? What would you be interested in? Would it be higher resolutions? Exclusive WIP? A special poll that gets to choose a character to be featured?

For me, if I were to add exclusives to other tiers, and thats a BIG IF, I would rather have you guys and gals help build it. Make it a tier worth your time and money, and something that I can reasonably do as well.

But do know this, I'm really big on inclusion. I'm well aware that financially everyone is different. I will not create an environment that only panders to the highest payers. I am grateful to everyone who is able to subscribe. So if the community finds some reasonable ideas to explore for the new tiers, great. If not, then no worries.

Projects

Okay - the moment you've all been waiting for. What to expect in 2023. Whew lads. Do I have some great projects incoming. Now typically, I don't reveal stuff too far in advance, but I have my heart set on a few movies that I will 100% pursue this year. There will be of course a couple of surprises and the timing of all these films will vary on voice actress availability and hell, my own availability. But you can expect to see these films in 2023.

Honey Bunny Part 2 - Our delicious big busty Bunny girl will be returning for part two. Luna is such a fun character with a unique personality. I think that's why so many of us enjoyed her character. Honey Bunny 2 will be exploring her ever-growing urgers that she battles to resist.

Tifa 7th Heaven - What can I say? She's such an iconic character that I've been wanting feature again. I had a great idea hit me that would be perfect. Not too long, not too much story. Just fun and straight sexy. A perfect blend. Good news, you wont have to wait too long to find out...

Dark Elf Continues - If there's one character I know you guys and gals loved. Is this Dark Elf. Who, I really need to give a name to LOL but I finally had a great idea of what to do next with her. I mean, she's enjoyed Orcs and Goblins, where do I go next? I finally had a solid idea that I know you will love.

Goblins Trio - Speaking of goblins. Those 3 little green fellas I swear have a fan base of their own. You'd be amazed at how many comments I received and I must admit, they've grown on me. These naughty boys will continue to be up to no good, and you will love every second of it.

Sailor Moon - Sweet Jesus. When this idea hit me, it hit my very core. My God. What an insane project it will be. This will be a massive undertaking to accomplish but the effort will be well worth it. I can only share 1 little detail. This film will be my biggest scene yet. Don't hold your breath on it yet, several pieces will need to align together for this film to happen, however, it will be well worth the wait.

Last but not least...Shoko Sugimoto will return. In the early phase of exploring what possible direction I could take Shoko next. Does she get a new career or does she stay as a lifeguard, but at a public pool? Or for a Yacht? Lots of possibilities and plenty of hot action.

These are the current projects I can share for now. Keep in mind I have several more films to debut this year. In fact, I'll be sharing a new one soon to kick off the year. Expect another jam-packed year with new faces and plenty of returning favorites!

Alright whew. What a wall of text. Thank you for reading and hope you are excited about all the upcoming films!!!
