January Update (Patreon)

I hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy new year!  2019 has arrived and here's some of the goodies and news you have to look forward to on this patreon...

First, let's talk about game development.  December game dev built upon the item system built in November.  I have a powerful database to handle all types of items, a gear tier system, and perhaps most importantly complex random generation for items at varying tiers and item levels.  That might not mean much, but if you're familiar with most RPGs like WoW then you can think of it something like that.  Again, this is important for the game loop of running story missions, gearing up, finding new things you can do with your increased power level, and take on new challenges.  For a few weeks I've been working on the storyboard system and how the characters and story will look on screen.  It's almost ready for testing so I want to get some samples ready for the game council to look at.

Next, let's talk about Chronicles of Veldaria (CoV).  CoV is the next upcoming comic based in an original fantasy world I'm creating.  I wanted it to come out last year, but it's being help up for a few reasons.  One is that I didn't want to start a normal comic and spend a lot of time on something that is counteracting the aforementioned game.  I can't soak up all my time with comics and never get the game finished.  Plus, I think once the game is ready it will be a more fun way to interact with for readers than a normal comic and CoV will be a good test.  So I am still planning on CoV coming out in the game.  The next thing I didn't like about CoV was the leading lady, Queen Liliannah.  She wasn't a very popular character and I don't like her physical design so I'm planning on recasting her.

Out with the old and in with the new.  I'm going to replace the Dark Lord Calendar we did last year with a fast-paced action based One Shot series.  The Calendar took a lot of time, both in terms of getting votes finished and then me creating the page.  But it's a HUGE amount of time and effort spent on ONE page.  Plus, it was not a popular series and even when I switched it over to include sex that only left people wanting more.  Then came along the Elise v Robinson Kendall post which was one of the most popular all year.  The essence of that is what I'm going to use for the One Shot series.  Patrons (deacon and above) will vote on the girl, the guy (sometimes more guys), the location, the theme, and then the clothing.  That will lead to an intro page, X number of action pages, and an outro page.  I think that will give people a lot more action which has been requested and a more focused use of my time.  The first vote will be up today!

Lastly, I've been working on some new female characters that I'm really excited about.  It's a long process and I don't have a lot of time to spend on them, but I will share them as soon as they are ready.  One in particular will most likely become the new Queen for CoV.  I also need to create some more black dudes.

I think that covers the big items for 2019.  Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.  And join us on the Discord server if you haven't already!  (Add your Discord information to your Patreon Account page).
