Update 29th May '22

A weirdly plodding week.  It was one where I kept chipping away at a slowish pace and then suddenly realised the end of the month was looming and I needed to get a move on.

I'm now in the usual end-of month frenzy mode.

Atómica, La Bomba de Amor, the lovebomb succubus, is implem...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day

And it's onto the last of my collections - the 6th one, "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day".  This is another of the irregular Q'n'A posts I've been doing.  If you have any questions about stories in this collection or anywhere else, fire away below.

As a reminder, here are the s...

Update 23rd May '22

This one's a day late as I was out all Sunday.

There were a few distractions this week as I had some other writing work (of the not sexy succubus smut type) to get done.

I also had some ideas for another game project and while I'm not going to jump ship to chase the new shiny thing, ...

Update 15th May '22

I had a bunch of things all pile up together.  I nearly made the usual mistake of trying to do too many things at once and lock up, but managed to dodge that.  Maybe I'm finally learning!

Lovebomb Succubus is typed up and 5.5K words.  I need to give her a final editing pass ...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Remembrance

Continuing my impromptu Q'n'As about stories in my collections.  We're now at the 5th collection: "A Succubus for Remembrance".

Here's the list of stories from that collection:

1) A Succubus for Remembrance *
2) The Skinning Knife **
3) Vernon the Volunteer *
4) Trent th...

Update 8th May '22

I do try to hit the start of the next month running, but it always ends up being a little chaotic.

I've started typing up 'lovebomb' succubus, but I was mostly concentrating on 1st drafts this week.  I was hoping to finish up Balloon Tits Wrestler, write another, and then present anoth...

Art of Khanara Anandanum

Here is some nice art of Khanara Anandanum, one of the stranger harlots in the House.
She's the slime/slug/lamia monster girl that wraps her lower body around the player and overwhelms them with bliss.  This is a nice teasing pin-up of her upper body.  The dress is billowing, but w...

Update 1st...uh...2nd May '22

Slightly late update.  I was out last night and had a beer or six.  Luckily, it's an update after a release, and those are normally short as the details are in the release.

v0.031 of HoHH went out okay, I hope.  The week was a little frenetic, but I wanted 3 harlot scenarios ...

House of Hellish Harlots v0.031 (3 new harlot scenarios)

Version 0.031 of House of Hellish Harlots is ready!

I thought I'd have a relatively smooth release today and get it out long before midnight.  However, two of the scenarios are fairly complex and took a fair bit of testing.  I also, as usual, forgot to put in the Black Rose pathwa...

Update 24th Apr '22

After a couple of weeks disrupted by Covid and other things, it was nice to have a good week.

The Black Latex Milkmaid now has a name - Llefrith SWMP-08 - and is mostly implemented.  Needs testing and a few minor things checked, but is otherwise done.

The Huntress + Feral Spumpir...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Freedom

After a slight pause to Covid and getting other things back on track, it's time to continue with the impromptu Q'n'As about the stories from my various collections.  We're now up to the 4th collection: "A Succubus for Freedom".

For a reminder, here is the list of stories from that coll...

Update 17th Apr '22

This week was pretty much wrecked by Covid.

I said last week I had something like flu, but I didn't think it was Covid.  Well, that turned out to be wrong.  It was Covid.  Thankfully, it didn't really get much worse than regular flu and I think I'm mostly over it now.

...

April's Harlot Poll Results

Dammit Patrons, look what you've done. :D

Posh Huntress + Feral Spumpire - 62
Lovebomb Wrestling Succubus - 48
Bladderwort Predatory Plant Girl - 48
Pêl-Z Perffeithio - 12
Inflatable Gas Doll Harlot - 10

Our first tie, and right at an awkward boundary.

First some m...

Update 10th Apr '22

A slightly mixed start to the month.  I was away for a day or so in the middle of the week and then got knocked on my ass by a flu-type bug at the end of it.  I still have a sense of taste, so I don't think it's Covid, thankfully, but I haven't been able to do much but mope in bed.

Harlot Poll for April's HoHH Release

Let's try this again and hope it is actually April this time.

I'm currently typing up the Black Latex Milkmaid as she was next in line according to the last poll.

The following are new harlot scenarios where I've either completed or are close to completing the 1st draft.  I'm not...

Update 3rd Apr '22

A shortish update post, but for good reasons this time.  This week I put out version 0.030 of House of Hellish Harlots.  For details of that, see the previous post.  After a bit of a wob...

House of Hellish Harlots v0.030 (2 new harlot scenarios)

Version 0.030 of House of Hellish Harlots is ready!

The White Latex Milkmaids scenario weighed in a little more than I was expecting at just over 6K words.  While I wanted to avoid the end of month rushes that knock me out of the usual work pattern, I didn't want this to be another 1 h...

More lovely art of Nurse Honey

Thank you again to Mark45 for having this commissioned and for allowing me to share it here.  The artist is Marco Marco and can be found on twitter as @hiradeira.

Nurse Honey is suspiciously coquettish here.  I ...

Update 27th Mar '22

Despite being mostly away this weekend, I appear to be getting back into a rhythm again.

Sasori Oiran is implemented and just needs testing.

Typing up seems to be the slow step at the moment.  I still managed to type up around 2.5K words on the White Latex Milkmaids scenario. &nb...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Halloween

Continuing my Q'n'As to get material for a behind-scenes section for each collection.  This time we're on to "A Succubus for Halloween".  So if you have any questions about any of the stories or characters from that collection (or anything in general), fire away below.

Here's a li...

Update 20th Mar '22

You know how that Elden Ring game is really massive...

Just kidding.  I completed it early in the week.  Playtime over.  A nice break.

Productivity is still a little scratchy, but I feel like I'm slowly getting back in the groove.  Finishing typing up Sasori Oiran ...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Valentine's Day

As I said in a previous post, to mark the rerelease of my ebook short story collections I want to add a section at the end with behind-the-scenes notes.  So, if you have any questions about story/ch...

Update 13th Mar '22

That Elden Ring game is a little massive...

I think I'm near the end of it.  This generally happens every time From Software puts a new game out.  I didn't expect this one to be quite as huge as it is.  In the past I've found the best approach is to no-life the hot game unti...

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Christmas

Despite getting distracted by various things, I still want to get those old short story collections back up for sale again.

One thing I wanted to add was a little segment at the back detailing the inspiration behind the stories.  Writing them (or rather rewriting them as I wrote some f...

Update 6th Mar '22

No update this week.  Been using Elden Ring for that full battery recharge I felt I needed.

Seems to be doing the trick.  Just needed a clean break to take the pressure off I reckon.  Normal service should be resumed next week.

Drawing a line under February and moving on

It wasn't the best.

It happens unfortunately.  I get behind, so mentally turn a screw to try and speed up.  Sometimes that kicks me into high gear and I hit the arbitrary deadline.  Other times I get stressed out, lock up and nothing gets done.

Definitely locked up at ...

Update 27th Feb '22

Another shitty week unfortunately.  At this point I'm tempted to write February off completely as one of those months where things didn't come together at all.

I do have most of Sasori Oiran's scenario typed up and she's a fairly straightforward scenario, so I think I'll try to salvag...

Update 20th Feb '22

This one is short.  I had some problems at the start of the week and realising my productivity had drifted into a low ebb, decided to take the week off for a full break and recharge.

This would happen on the week I get some new patrons, so not exactly the best way to make a good first...

More Potential Covers for "A Succubus for Christmas"

Getting closer, I think.

1. My current favourite (and why I put it first).  Abstract enough that the usual AI weirdness doesn't seem out of place.  I think I might change the font colour from gold to silver to make it stand out from the background.

2. Technically the 1st fro...

Update 13th Feb '22

More steady progress.  Work on Epicratea (the Ebony Succubus) has been a little stop-start, but I've been able to write a good chunk of the Huntress + Feral Spumpire scenario.  I like how that is coming along.  Again, it's breaking my original rules for scenario complexity, but it ...
