Hey, It's about 2 years overdue, but I'm finally doing another one of these "state of affairs" type of posts. I usually don't like writing huge posts, but I want to be open with you guys about what's being worked on and my plans for the rest of 2018 as they are right now.
Anyway,
'OIL: Chapter One':
Sorry for the delay there. It should be releasing on Affect3D's store for a reasonable price of $9.95 on the 25th of September. I'll make a post dedicated to it when it comes out. And possibly show off some more concept art & designs + sample pages.
Now I know what some people are probably thinking. "Wait, you're selling this? I thought your work was just a hobby and released for free?" "Is this the end of free content?" OIL is a special case, the fact that it took so much time, and was the work of more than just me meant that it deserved to be treated as such. It's not the end of free releases. In fact it's more of an outlier. We're testing out this method of releasing a comic. But in the future we might swap to another platform like Patreon to support future chapters. Every other one of my planned upcoming projects will be released for free on the blog as always. Except for possibly 'Emily's Negotiation' (when I eventually get back to that) for similar reasons.
'Terminal Diaries':
So, what am I working on right now? A zombie game made with RPG Maker MV. It's going to be called Terminal Diaries and I plan to have a public demo version out by the end of September. Think of it as an interactive image set, with gameplay, dialogue options and multiple paths/endings. You'll play as Tiffany Neil (a cop), as she and her partner investigate a distress call from the small town of 'Ashton Lake'. You'll control Tiffany's actions and determine her fate.
Here are some screenshots from the current development version:
Work is coming along nicely. Definitely expect a demo at the end of September. I'll be posting more about 'Terminal Diaries' soon. It's something I'm really excited about, and I hope to involve those who want to support the game. I'm planning on opening a Patreon account for those who wish to support and shape the future of the game. Patrons will be able to help vote on and suggest content/features for the game. That's the plan anyway. It's going to have a bunch of fetishes, some optional, but the main focus will be huge dicks, monsters/creatures and impregnation. Plus more if people request/suggest interesting things that fit well with the theme.
And not to worry, the game will always have a free version available to anyone from the blog. Patron's will just get early access to the new versions and get to vote on content polls, etc.
And one last thing. "If Tiffany is a cop, why is she wearing a pink micro bikini?" Well, it's a porn game so we decided it'd be more entertaining if in this world all the women dressed like sluts. But it will still be possible to play the game without any sex scenes as a serious action rpg. (if anyone really wants that, haha!) Plus if patrons really want to change her outfit they can vote on it. :)
'SMS: Save the Princess':
Finally getting around to this. It's the last of the round of commissions I accepted ages ago. In a way, the second part of the Strippa & Kolong set from the start of the year, but not really. It's set in the same verse, in the same time period. But focusing on different characters. A group of Succubi and Incubi teens. The name of the series is 'Sex Maniac Students' (SMS) and this is a 'save the princess' type of game that they're role playing. The characters depicted are all 18+.

Here are some WIP shots of the environments so far (I've got 2 more to set up):
This one will be more of a comic style, like OIL. I plan on releasing the completed pages for this one as I complete them instead of waiting until the end like I usually do. I'm planning to work on pages for this on the side while focusing primarily on 'Terminal Diaries'.
Other Projects:
Well, as optimistic as I'd like to be that's honestly probably it for 2018. At least as I see it right now. But things could change, depending on how well 'OIL: Chapter One' goes, and the support for 'Terminal Diaries'. I will probably also release something else. But right now that's up in the air.
So, the other projects. I'll start with the easy one.
Lara's Swim:
The renders have all be done for ages, but there's still a bunch that need to be edited so that they look good. But I've kind of lost interest in it so it's been put to the side while I focus on projects that weren't from 2012, haha. I will finish it up soon. I'll probably have it done sometime in the next couple of months. Right now my focus for September is the first version of 'Terminal Diaries'.
Naughty University:
Naughty University is the name of that 'Comic project featuring Kaleisha and Kali'. A sequel project to Experimental Affairs set 18 years later with Kaleisha & Pierce's daughter, 'Kali'. I had to put it on hold to focus on OIL, and commissions. And now it's going to stay on hold a little while longer while I focus on 'Terminal Diaries' and the 'Save the Princess' commission. But here are some shots from Scene 0:
Emily's Negotiation:
When I get to it. :P
In all seriousness though. It's basically the same situation. I have to put it on hold to focus on other things that are more important or quite frankly projects that interest me more at the time. The story for it is great. And the art completed for it so far is still some of my best. I'm not sure how to explain my lack of interest in it, because I really like everything about it. I'll get back into the swing of things eventually, but it's still going to be a while before I'm ready to focus on it.
Gremlins:
And just because I know people are interested. No there are still no concrete plans for more gremlins, other that the fact that I'll be doing more gremlins when I get the chance. Not sure if it'll be part 3, not sure if it'll be a different heroine or character. I'll make those decisions when I get to it. For the moment my focus is elsewhere. But probably after the Succubus comic is done, I'll start looking into it. Or maybe I'll do some smaller side stories. I'm really going through a transitional period when it comes to how I display my work. I'm trying things like comics and games and different distribution platforms etc. Who knows what crazy things await!?
Thanks again for all the support. Leave any questions below. I'll see you soon with more updates.
P.S. While writing this, I thought of 'Terminal Desires' as a potentially better name than 'Diaries'. Maybe I'll change it :P What do people think?
