State of things 2025-03-26

Things have been mostly going as usual. I've been doing some drawing and I joined a few game jams. I haven't really felt motivated to blog about it at all, but I figure it's been long enough.
Let's jam
In January I made Ripe and Juicy, Freshly Squeezed for NSFW MiniJam #13. The premise of the game is that you are service fruit juice to a giantess. You have to punch fruit down from the trees, bring it over to a giant in-ground pool, and hop in. Then, you have to smack the hell out of the fruit to extract the juice. Once the pool's full, you can climb out and ring the bell to watch your customer drink it.
The fun twist is that the more she drinks, the larger her breasts grow.
Then, in February I made FreeCell: Play with Yourself for Strawberry Jam 9. It's a fairly standard implementation of the rules of FreeCell, although I never figured out how to implement "super moves", so you have to move cards one at a time.
As you play, you are watched by a jester. She really loves watching you "play with yourself", and will start to touch herself as well. I animated the jester using OpenToonz, and exported the result as a bunch of short looping video files. Fortunately, Godot can handle them fine.
This was my first major project in OpenToonz, and I think it went pretty well. I did find myself fighting with the automatic smoothing of vector-based lineart though.
Most recently, I participated in NSFW MiniJam #15 and made Underdressed at the RenFest. This was an incredibly fun project. It's essentially a basic sex-work management simulator, where your friend has decided to roleplay as a courtesan at the local Renaissance festival, and you have to give her advice and choose where she should set up shop.
The game has a heavy focus on free use and submission content, with your friend becoming more and more eager to listen to your instructions and offer herself to her (non-paying) customers. You can decide whether customers should cum inside her or all over her, with multi-stage cumflation and bukkake art sequences.
What about that vore game?
I'm still working on the vore game. It's probably not going to wind up having a whole lot of art. Rather than going for a visual novel style presentation, where there's always some sort of picture of screen and just a few lines of text underneath, I'm probably going to switch to a text-first presentation. Pages of text with the occasional picture included if it's warranted.
A few weeks ago I completely rewrote the "true ending" route to support this new approach. Previously it was almost entirely dialogue, with description limited to simple phrases like "feel her hand slide up your leg." Those bits of narration were presented using the same UI as dialogue choices. So you'd click on a button that said "open the door", and then get another choice that said "see a beautiful woman standing there." Now, it's all full narrative prose with paragraphs and dialogue tags.
The new version of the true-ending route is about 13700 words, and as an extremely rough estimate the total size of the story will be about 30000 words, excluding scenes that are duplicated between routes.
I'm struggling to find the motivation to write the other routes though, because the true ending was the fun one. I have to start with a story full of exciting fetishes and remove them one-by-one.
Art
Lately I've really been noticing deficiencies in my understanding of anatomy and the human form, and so I've been practicing drawing from reference. To make it fun for myself, I decided to do 3 pieces all centered around the same theme: "complications of human-elf reproduction". You see, elves and humans have very different gestation periods, and so when they conceive together, the resulting pregnancy is very unpredictable. How long will the pregnancy last? How fast will the baby grow? It's never the same twice. Each piece is accompanied by a caption describing the mother's unsual situation.
- Drawing of a pregnant wood-elf, with an accompanying caption. The caption explains that her pregnancy is developing remarkably fast, and yet she is not due to deliver for at least 5 years.
- Drawing of a pregnant human, with an accompanying caption. The caption explains that she is still fertile despite already being pregnant, and so the litter inside of her continues to grow each month.
- Drawing of a very fat high elf, with an accompanying caption. The caption explains that her body is confused by the slow development of her pregnancy, and so is constantly sending her hunger signals in an attempt to provide extra nutrition to her baby.
Side-note, I originally planned to include themes like this at the end of Healing from Heart, but decided to cut the story short just before any of them got pregnant. I've re-used the names of a couple of those characters in the second caption.
I've really enjoyed making these so far, and I think I want to do a few more. At the very least we need to explore what happens when two half-elves reproduce. The results are probably even more wild than between a human and an elf.
Maybe I'll make a gallery section on the website for pictures and short stories.
