Updates (Patreon)

Please excuse the lack of posts lately. We're in the process of migrating everything in our cloud service to a new system (Datastore -> Cloud SQL, Blobstore -> Cloud storage). This will bring immense improvements in terms of query times and eventually better search options for the pose browser as well. While this work is cool and all, it isn't perhaps the most exciting thing to read about because it's mostly just techy backend server stuff. Usually when we post things we want to have something more visual and tangible to share. So we figured we just want to get the cloud thing over with asap so we can resume our normal work.

However, we just made something we think is worth sharing, so that's why we decided to write this. But before we get into that...

$10,000 passed

So this came as quite a surprise for us. At the beginning of the month, we had around 700 patrons and a revenue around $7,000. But ever since we released 0.6.0, patrons have been dropping in at a steady rate. We thought it would level out, but it just kept going, and now we just passed $10,000. I suppose the Dragoness was a real hit. :)

It's hard to express the gratitude we feel for your amazing support. All of this just started as a distant dream around 2 years ago, and in a way it still feels like a dream because working and getting paid for something like this is totally unreal. Wow, the times we live in. I don't know how we can thank you enough for the faith and support you put into us, other than emphasize that we're sincere in our gratitude and will do our best to honor your support. There's probably no better way to do that than to continue our work.

Thank you guys, so very much!

Vaginal dripping

So this is the main reason for this post. We hadn't thought of implementing this just yet since we're in the middle of the new cloud implementation, but sometimes it's like something just comes over me and I feel compelled to do something different. I've learnt that it's best to let this sort energy flow freely, so whatever task was being done can be temporarily put aside.

This is still very early footage and not by any means finished.

As you can see, the farther the drop is stretched, the more slowly it will move and sort of have weighty feeling to it. 

The inspiration for this came from a guy called Fek. You've probably heard of him and his furry project R2CK, but if you haven't, you should definitely check it out because it is awesome. R2CK has a really cool dripping dynamic, so we were very inspired by that and wanted to create something similar for our own project.

Other stuff

Dogson is working on the new muscular male dragon model, and will hopefully soon have something to show. We were thinking of streaming sometime this week, so stay tuned for announcements here on patreon for when we go live!
