Concept list, part II

8 more concepts, in no particular order:

• No one can know — The protagonist wears a full cosplay outfit topped by a kigurumi mask to a public convention. For some reason they (might be a guy) are very worried about staying anonymous, so when the thing activates and they're stuck, the...

I-XI: Buzzing Around & Season I recap

The final entry of the season. Kind of wanted to do a I-XII, but it no longer seems appropriate time-wise. Instead, I'll take a deep breath, look at where I am, give the TWM story some more love that it...

Concept list, part I

Some conceptual setups have been around for a while, some are newer, some might come up during the composition of this list itself. Most of them will eventually end up in EC (in no particular order), some will apply to TWM.

These concepts are the basis, the core idea that lingers around unt...

EC Season 1 is live!

The I-I is out there on DA, each of the next will be appearing within 1-2 days since the previous one. (The plan is 1, but we'll see how it goes).

Patreon update is also live! Finally, it's time to pick up th...

I'm thinking June 26th.

UPDATE: Due to an unexpected turn of events, I cannot do it today. Stay tuned nonetheless, I'll do it as soon as I can. 

I've been away for several days, then I made the new Patreon banner that you'll see in a short time, then I failed to come up with a good...

Till Dress Do Us Part

Ten was the minimum goal I set for myself. There are still several concepts I want to try, and there will be two or three more entries to Season 1 in total, but active preparation for the launch starts ...

Will-o-Weak

Captionists worldwide usually take a picture and write the story for it real quick. I've tried different approaches, but somehow, I ended up more comfortable with finishing the story first, so as to not...

Endancered Species

It's June now. Surprisingly enough, progress is going according to plan, and the plan has not changed. Somehwere within the month, within a single day, the Season I and the Patreon update will be live. ...

Strings Attached

This entry, it's different. I kind of actually like it. Hope you do as well.

Usually I use a body reference image and then alter it as my author's vision suggests. This is the first time in the se...

Dishonest Employer

My overthinking ass bit itself deep with this one. The next will arrive quicker, you have my word.

Actually, I've been thinking about the correct term. Since I do the images myself as well, are th...

Head in the Sand

Nothing smart to say today. Aiming to release the Season 1 in June, with a Patreon overhaul as well. Adding some responsibilities to my own self would be real nice. Weekly this and monthly that. Will sp...

Weight of Bureaucracy

Another one for your judgment. Making up ideas for TWM also became fun again all of a sudden. I'll just keep doing my thing, I guess, so that one day it's appropriate to ramble about something irrelevant under "just another upload".

It keeps transforming (EC I-I, I-II & I-III)

I'm still experimenting with the shape my content takes. Here's a new one, similar to some things I showed you before, but as a big thing. Finishing one of these takes 1-2 sessions on average, which seems like a very promising format to me. Time will tell if it sticks.

Once I decide that th...

5/7

The first EC story was largely a flop (to me, at least). The story concept was initially very vague, but I think I managed to update it to something that works and something it should have always been.

First 2023 Update

The new EC story text is 99% complete. It took forever (nobody's surprised, I hope), because I shelved a storyline I failed to finish and went for another one. I immediately had a lot more fun with it and got it done in "just" a couple weeks.

Drew the first illustration today in a single ta...

I survived August.

It was a very hot August, and I do not tolerate hot weather at all and also subjectively loathe it as well. I barely existed in this month, which, of course, meant that little story work has been done.

But now an actually good time of the year has begun, and I'm back to writing with fresh e...

Some sketches.

Technical difficulties, bad weather, slippery floor... Let's forget that there was a sixth month in this year and hope that the seventh will be great instead.

These sketches had to wait on the shelf for a while, but they are the closest thing to content that I have on my hands right now. 2022-06-30 20:43:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Unfinished.

Unfortunately, I'm having busy times, with even busier times to come. April left a lot of incomplete chapters and sketches, and I hope to get them out eventually. It might not seem like it, but there's rarely a day when I don't open up the story and try to add to it.

Here's one I managed to...

A caption.

That's what I have done quite a few times now: choose a 'normal' picture as reference and have my own take on it.

You know what TG(transgender) captions are, don't you? In case you don't, these ar...

EC Update #2

Hello again!

The first EC story is nearing its completion (I'll update the post when I'll have a certain date (80% Thursday or earlier, 100% by the end of the week, unless I'm hit by a bus). It was a tough but interesting new experience for me, and any future development to it will be done ...

EC update.

Hello there. Couldn't help but notice that the world has gone a fair bit crazier since I last posted. It did take an emotional toll on me, as I do have some connections in the involved countries, but I feel much better now.

The new story is growing as expected. By 'expected' I, of course, m...

Enchanted Clothing

It's official. I am currently making another CHYOA story. I was carrying it around in my head for a while, but I think I've finalized the concept now:

— I'm planning it as a compilation of short storylines with mostly linear structure;

— I am going to illustrate every chapter, may...

Una

The White Mall: Una, as you all know, is what's called the first installment. It was exclusively available on GaggedUtopia, which was not feeling too good for the past couple years anyway, and is off the radars for a couple months now.

However, I never deleted the story from my computing de...

patreon_content.txt

Good day, my dear supervisors. Haven't checked up on you in a while.

With 1 total vote, the physical map of the story won the last poll, while the majority silently voted for things to stay as they were. I have been acting extremely precise to this feedback, with chapters once in a while an...

Poll #11 (8.01. - 23.01.)

UPD: One vote so far. I'll give it an extra week.

I have some ideas on what to do with the story in the beginning of year 2022. And here they are:

— Actual map of the White Mall (Had this in mind since day one and I still believe that I did not create any major...

Happy holidays everyone.

As I promised, I'm revealing everything I managed to construct for Beth, the new character that is going to open some new possibilities for the story. I hope I did her justice.

Once I get to the actual possibilities, I'll make sure to ask you first, so stay tuned.

Work in progress.

New Jen chapters are going to be coming as usual soon.

TWM: Beth will be under construction for a while and will be delivered as a single big update. Either I'm going to wait until it's complete or I'm going to drop everything I got on Christmas (also makes sense).

Stay warm, fellas.<...

Poll #10 (5.11-14.11)

Now that I feel empowered enough to take responsibilities again and, coincidentally, now that there is a new member of this (very) little society of ours (Welcome Miro!), I think it is time for another poll, this time slightly more decisive than usual.

You can choose more than one, but keep...

October update

Hello again.

I fell out of my writing mood and was not very active throughout September and the first half of October, but now I'm back to being able to contribute to the story. My main objective for now is to make every single branch lead to a definite ending, and I made sure that is going...

Catching up first.

Well, I'm stable at making 2-3 decently sized chapters a week. If a lightning of inspiration hits me, then there's more (and I still think it's going to strike me soon). Until it does, that seems to be my comfort pace.

Your feedback and your poll votes are on my hands, so the branches are s...
