New Tiers + Lounging in Ecstasy
Added 2018-07-10 06:05:26 +0000 UTCAn adventurer awakens within the Misty Lounge, an extradimensional haven of wickedness and temptation. He must evade witches, demons, vampires and other sly temptresses to find his way out of the surprisingly labyrinthine inn, aided by a secret-peddling imp who claims to be bound into his service. Will he escape? Or will he fall victim to one of the many sultry predators of the Cabin of Mist?
Actually, the answer is entirely up to you.
Hello, my lovelies!
I am just about poised to finally begin work on Lounging in Ecstasy, the tale of a hapless human man trying to find his way out of a magical maze without totally losing his mind, soul, or even life in the process. The prologue will be up later tonight—a sort of test-run to see what works and what doesn't.
Anyways, this is going to be a major undertaking for me over the summer, and I really hope you all enjoy it. Because I feel like it's long overdue, and because this gamebook is likely to occupy a lot of my time and energy, it's time for some new tiers!
$4 - Assisting Alraune
Once per month, each $4 pledger can propose a single story concept or credited image, and I will use it for a Tumblr flashfic! Alternatively, you can ask me a lore or character question, and I'll write a detailed lore post for it.
$5 - Misty Lounge Regular
At this level, you get access to the inner workings of Lounging in Ecstasy as it's written—and make requests. As I finish editing sections of Lounging in Ecstasy, I will post them on a private Google Doc available only to Regulars.
Now, once per update, each Regular can suggest one additional option for the POV character to take. These options might lead to large-scale branching paths, or just a minor aside, but I'll make sure to make them worth your while. ;)
For instance, if the update contains a scene with a mocking succubus and gives the options "Run away" and "Attack", you can suggest an option like, "How rude! Time to look this lady straight in the eye and give her a piece of your mind!" You can troll for bad ends, fun exploration, clever solutions, or just whatever you think would be interesting!
A Note on Gamebook Availability
To be clear: The Lounging in Ecstasy prologue will be placed in the Goblin Vault for my $2-and-up lovelies. It won't be charged, though for what it's worth, it's about half again the length of one of my normal stories! Expect to see it up later tonight!
The full gamebook will be released in chunks, with a public "canon path" given out publicly and the actual branching-paths gamebook reserved for all of my lovely patrons. So don't worry if you're only a $1 pledger—you'll all get access to the full Lounging in Ecstasy. :)

"Secret Peddling Imp" Are you telling me the guide is Midna? Also I can't wait for it to start, I'm excited to see how many races will get in~

2018-07-10 08:27:09 +0000 UTCI'm sure your gamebook will be more popular than you imagine if it's even half as good as your regular chapters. One question, if you hit a bad end will you restart or will there be an easy way to backtrack?

2018-07-10 08:07:53 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm honestly pretty nervous—it's been a lot of work getting the prologue finished, and that was only ever a rough sketch to sort of "feel out" the program. I really hope people get into the gamebook when I get to work on it!
