OIL Novelisation - Book 1 (+ Full Comic Public Release)

 

Hello everyone,

It's been a while. Work continues on the game, but I've got some overdue things that need posting.

For those who remember, "Our Intergalactic Lovers" or "OIL" was an erotic Sci-fi comic series that I worked on with writer Camille Juteau between 2014 & 2018. The first comic issue was published for sale on Affect3D a few months prior to the first build of Terminal Desires going live. It was later made available for the Special Forces tier supporters on Patreon & SubscribeStar. But today, I'm finally making every comic page available for free.

Several additional comic pages were also produced from 2018-19 for Special Forces Tier members before making the decision to shift into producing comics that were related to Terminal Desires instead of an unrelated IP.

2019 was the last time I worked on any renders or story material for OIL, as Terminal Desires and it's world became my priority focus.

However, the vast majority of OIL's story remained scripted, but never told.

At the end of 2022, Camille reached out with their wish to novelize the comic scripts we had made and continue the story of OIL that we had come up with in book form.

The initial novelization draft was completed in early 2023, but I insisted on making sure the book was a fully fleshed out adaptation of all our plans and discussions. As I was obviously busy with Terminal Desires, I only ever worked on OIL during my free time, sometimes not being able to contribute for months at a time, which is why it has taken until now to be released as something that we are both very happy with.

 

The novel is about 310 pages of written material.

Chapters 0-8 adapts the material previous published in the original comic version(albeit with new narrative additions & embellishments).

I have made the original comic versions from 2018-19 available to everyone here (476.8 MB) if you want to compare or simply immerse yourself in the visual world of OIL, or what little was made.

 

Chapters 9-19 (over 60% of the novel) faithfully adapts our original script & plans for future comic pages that were never made. The continuation covered in this section of the book is material that's all new for readers, even if we drafted much of it privately between 2014 & 2019. 

 

While I mainly recommend this novel for fans of the original OIL comic, it shares a lot of DNA with Terminal Desires, and the DNA Valkyrie(no pun intended) story we also worked on together in the past. Many of the same kinks and themes are shared, so if you are a fan of the worlds I come up with then you'll probably enjoy this too (as long as you are not allergic to reading, it's all text after all)

 

If you are interested, you can purchase the novel as an eBook HERE or Paperback HERE, but please note that none of the revenue from these purchases will go to me.

I have now voluntarily relinquished all ownership & control of the OIL IP to Camille.

Apart from this project being something we all know I have no time for, I also know that if I get the opportunity to explore a Science Fiction IP in a future game project, that I have other ideas in mind than the world we created for OIL, even if I still hold a deep love for it.

So buy this book to support OIL & Camille's efforts to publish future OIL novels, not to support me.

 

While I am no longer going to be involved in any future continuations of OIL in any meaningful capacity, there also exists enough remaining original comic script from the 2019 draft to adapt into a 2nd OIL Novel(the process is already underway). Beyond that, many plans were made for what would ultimately now be a 3rd book.

Therefore, I would expect to see at least those novels come to fruition at some point in the not too distant future, especially since I am no longer involved in any writing or editing capacity that would delay the releases. But due to that, you will again need to support Camille if you wish to see OIL continue from now on.

I hope those that decide to purchase the novel enjoy it, and sorry for making any long-time OIL fans wait this long for a continuation.

Terminal Quickies: Jailbreak

 

Howdy folks,

Here are all 18 pages of "Jailbreak", the Terminal Quickies comic drawn by artist MeinFischerArt. Starring H.C.P.D. Chief Officer Jasmine Juggs & Ashton Lake Deputy Sheriff Debra Derringer in a canon event that took place roughly 1 year prior to the start of the game's story. 

Deputy Sheriff Derringer visits Hardwood City to get an invaluable tour of the correctional facility by the Chief of Police herself! Unfortunately, the two busty officers of the law end up getting a tad too close to some pent-up, horny inmates. Seems like those cell keys weren't too safely secured by Juggs either...

Balls emptied, these four F.E.S. enhanced studs are now free. With roughly one year in-canon between this comic & where the Game's story begins, who knows what kind of depraved mischief Anthony, D-Roy, Patrick & Jackson will get up to, and their whereabouts at the time of the game...

DOWNLOAD (359.6MB)

• Includes the Cover, 18 Comic Pages + the original [cancelled] short story version & art.

 

 

 

 

 

Massive thanks to MeinFischerArt, not only for their incredible art throughout this comic's run, but for stepping up to take over the Jailbreak story from the previous artist who abandoned the project & ghosted me. :P

 

By adapting the story into a comic, I think we were able to elevate the project beyond it's original scope as an illustrated short story anyway. So it was probably all for the best in the end.

What's next for Terminal Quickies? For $3+ supporters, Lara's primary TQ Story: A Case of Conception has finally returned in comic form to take Jailbreak's monthly TQ comic slot. Popsiclebunny has been hard at work on it so hopefully Survivor & Special Forces tier supporters are enjoying those monthly pages. 

 

There is also the ongoing Private Security TQ comic featuring Vanessa & Kiana with art by AnonKB.  

 

There will of course be public releases, just like this post, once each full comic is complete. But if you'd like to support the game, and see these comics pages as they come out, please consider supporting either on SubscribeStar(Preferred) or Patreon(content restrictions) at the $3 Survivors tier or above.

And yes, I'm still working on the game. I just released a v0.10 BETA build for all supporter tiers, and there will be a 2nd BETA build coming out from them by the end of APRIL.

Terminal Juggs - Issue #1: Hot Rods & Hot Dogs

Finally, Issue #1 of the Terminal Juggs comic is complete. I already made a post around 2 years ago introducing the comic & sharing the first 14 pages, so please give that post a read for some additional information & context. 

Today, however, I can finally share the entire 85 page comic with everyone for download. I hope you enjoy it. :)

[CONTENT WARNING]: This comic contains a hefty amount of beast content. As such, it is not available on nor funded by my Patreon, just like the beast patch for the game (Terminal Desires) I keep all that content separate in order to abide by Patreon's content rules. If you wish to see more of that content from me, consider supporting me on SubscribeStar if you're able.

Just like Issue #1, Issue #2 of the Terminal Juggs comic will be a $10 tier exclusive while its pages are in production. Issue #2 is currently in pre-production at the time of this post, but I have already started sharing some designs for new characters, outfits & locations that will be appearing in Issue #2, in the lead up to it's 1st page.

Terminal Juggs:

A Terminal Desires Story

Witness the concurrent events transpiring back in Hardwood City through the eyes of Police Chief Officer Juggs while Tiffany & Terry are trapped within the walls of Ashton Lake...

Previews:

Thank you for your continued patience & support. Development on Terminal Desires continues. I have yet to announce a release date for the upcoming build. I will not announce a release date until the build is 99% complete. I will keep billing paused on Patreon & SubStar (as I have be doing)until I have a release date to announce. I have done away with "ETAs" as the way I ended up using them as a measuring stick was confusing & unproductive.

Terminal Quickies: The New Girl

 

Hello all,

That’s right I’m still alive, even if I’ve been severely neglecting this blog outside of responding to comments. I currently view this blog as the place to post about work of mine that is in a complete/released state. Thus since v0.10 of Terminal Desires is STILL in development (Current ETA Mid June 2023) & none of the surrounding Terminal projects have been completed, I haven’t felt the need to post here in the meantime.

I find it far easier to tweet occasionally than to write up full blog posts, so follow me on Twitter here if you want to stay more in the loop.

Of-course, the best way to stay in the loop is to become a supporter on SubscribeStar OR Patreon. The $1 tier on either platform gets you access to all of the development blogs & the latest game builds upon release. And also access to the supporter discord server, another place more active than this blog.

All that being said, something HAS finally been completed. And that’s the reason for this random post all of the sudden. I previously introduced the concept of “Terminal Quickies” being canon short stories written by me & accompanied by commissioned 2D art from various artists. With the core goal being to provide additional lore/backstory insights that take place prior to the game’s story. Since then, that concept has evolved from illustrated short stories into full comics. One of which is being released publicly today.

Terminal Quickies: The New Girl is drawn by artist Lasga Claven & stars Lara Wells & Miguel Cortés in events that took place 1 week prior to the initial Ashton Lake outbreak(16 days before Tiffany & Terry arrive in town at the start of Terminal Desires).

We never got to see Lara & Miguel's relationship in the game, so I figured a Terminal Quickies comic would be the best way to provide that bit of missing lore. So The New Girl is the story of how Lara came into Miguel's service, prior to the events of the Terminal Desires game.

If you wish to easily download the full comic for yourself you can find the archive at THIS MEGA LINK. Or keep reading here:

For additional game context, this story depicts Lara's first night performing undercover at the Ashton Lake Casino's club on Floor 1 (Where Tiffany can fight the gauntlet of zombies & encounter Andre on The game’s 2^nd Day). The comic closes with them in Miguel's master bedroom on Floor 5 of the Casino (The same location where Tiffany & Lara confront Romeo on the game’s 3^rd Day). 

 

Also included here are 2 reference renders I did of the characters standing next to each other:

 

And yes, "A Case of Conception" (The other Lara TQ story) is still in the works. Though the artist popsiclebunny & I in the process of transitioning that story into a comic for part 5 onward, after I've finished writing the already illustrated parts 3 & 4 of the short story component.

Terminal Quickies comics (and any other canon bonus content) will always be released publicly after they’ve been completed, as I have done here. But if you wish to get early access to individual pages as they release, consider supporting me at the $3 tier or higher on either SubscribeStar OR Patreon. None of this is possible without my extremely patient supporters.

Until next time, which will hopefully be a lot sooner... I do have plans for this blog, I’m just chronically slow & busy with the game. :’)
