July 2024 Update is now up!
What's new:
Camel, Dingo, Frog, and Jackalope (plus Bull, Dog, Goat, Pig, and Pigeon) have been added to Desired Tales on SubscribeStar in July. World Sea Turtle Day and Sea Turtle Week have been added to the Holiday list.
Herping Havoc received an update on Patreon in July. Common Chuckwalla, Frilled Lizard, and Leatherback Sea Turtle have been added to the game and have been added to the Game Directory's Species list. Herping Havoc also now has a Scene Selection Generator, which means all my older games have scene selection generators. Boyfriend Summon also received an update on Patreon in July. More huge himbo tiger boyfriend scenes were added in the update.
Tanuki Shrine has been added to the game list. M/M gay tanuki transformation game on Patreon made in July.
First Off-Topic: Patreon July Poll results were posted a few days ago. Non-patrons can view here. There is currently a poll on Patreon for which game will receive a game update in August: Growing Cat Island, The Thirteen Heroes of Isidoro, or Tomb Trap.
Second Off-Topic: Next Patreon game update nomination period will start August 3. Next game theme Patreon poll for a future new game will start August 3.
Third Off-Topic: Next public game update release will be posted August 3.
Fourth Off-Topic: I have decided I will quit making games in January 2025 IF I do not make an average of $300 USD a month throughout 2024. My Patreon income has declined this year (despite my follower count going up on several sites) and I have been experiencing burnout every month this year as a result. I still continue to work during burnout but it's not a fun experience. I know I will continue to experience burnout if things don't change. I spend a lot of time making my games each month and it's not worth continuing making games if I'm not making enough money to make it worth my time. $300 isn't a lot of money, I've earned above that much several times in 2023, so it's a reachable goal. If you want me to continue making games, then join my Patreon and/or subscribe to my SubscribeStar. SubscribeStar has exclusive NSFW LGBTQ+ transformation stories while Patreon has several games and game updates that are not public along with strategy guides and scene selection generators. You can vote on new game themes and game updates on Patreon. You can nominate a game to receive an update on Patreon. You can commission me to write a story on SubscribeStar. If you don't have money to support me, then there are free ways you can support me. On itch.io, you can give my games a 5 star rating, leave positive comments on my games, create a collection and add my games to that collection. On other sites, you can favorite or like my game posts, retweet game posts or share links to the game posts, leave positive comments. The algorithm is terrible if everyone is a lurker, so all this is appreciated and can boost my games' visibility which increases the odds of me gaining new patrons or subscribers and that will help me reach my goal to give me the funds to make more games.
