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.
~ Jim
