What's up? (Patreon)

Since the last update, productivity has been markedly lower than the first week of this month. While I've written some pretty darn great stuff (if I do say so myself), it's rather low in quantity. Very unbefitting of the month of content.  I find myself yearning more and more to write things that aren't Kobold Adventure in my spare time, and this lust to branch out is impacting my willingness to work on the project as a whole.

What am I trying to say here? I'm trying to say that while for one week, writing both recreatively and professionally for the game worked swimmingly, I feel like it's not something I can do for prolonged periods of time, let alone an entire month. Does this mean the recreative-writing experiment was a failure? Hell no. I've learned some invaluable things about my own capabilities this month, pieces of information that might allow me to produce content at a higher rate in the future.

While limiting myself to nothing but Kobold Adventure for an entire month is not a good idea, doing so for small sprints at a time could potentially lead to some interesting results! This is what I will test next month. Three weeks of regular business, where I mix writing for game with writing for fun; and one week of 100% Kobold Adventure focus. We'll see how that plays out, and then decide at the start of September if any further changes need to be made moving forwards.

The coming few days, I will be shifting gears back towards combining Kobold Adventure work with recreational writing, hoping that will allow me to re-attain at least nominal performance. The next update will be coming a little bit later, probably near the end of the week. Things that it will contain for sure are the ending of hiding in Cassidy's bedroom, and the ending of tending to Footsie during Varanar, Night Three, dropping the fork. Especially the former has some pretty spicy parts in it. I don't know yet if the character sheet will be done by then, but if it is, I'll write a quick backstory and lump it in with! Flora's looking good, I can reveal that much.

I still have a tiny tidbit of Emeraude that I have yet to continue, and people have been asking me for Enslavement, Noon Three for ages now! However, after this coming update, I think I'll be feeling some mellow storyline over more porn. I don't know yet! Maybe I'll put it up to vote. Whichever one doesn't get picked now, I'll see about getting started later in August, or early in September.

In order to make up for the unfortunate ending of the recreational writing experiment, I have a bunch more art coming up for the game. Good art. Lewd art. One SFW piece will be added this update, four more NSFW pieces are on the way, and a bunch of sketches may or may not end up being finished.

Furthermore, the forest bandit art is creeping ever-closer to completion. That'll be a pretty hefty chunk of art, and it'll open up the path to more drawing for Night Three. Once Sneaky has finished putting the final touches on, I'll be pilfering him for a new, as of yet unrevealed and undisclosed project of mine. Like HSLR, it's nothing that'll interfere with work on Kobold Adventure.

Speaking of HSLR, I really, really hope I can get the final pieces of art for it sometime this week, but sadly the artist working on it is having a long-lasting streak of misfortune. At this rate, I might as well call them bi-yearly updates. I'm certain the end result will be worth the wait, and if that other project I was talking about earlier comes through, then maybe it'll help facilitate more rapid development of Heavy Scales, Lonesome Roads in the distant future of 2021.

And that's all I have to say for now. Thank you for your continued interest in Kobold Adventure. I hope the raw quality of the coming update will make up for its lacking wordcount. I'll see you guys later this week when I might be announcing my plans for the default route of Varanar, Afternoon Four (not being saved); and ultimately Night Four where the storyline will really get going. If I haven't hooked you yet, give me the benefit of the doubt until you've seen what I have in store for you then. Catch you on the flipside. Good night.
