Hi,

My real life job continues to dampen my motivation to keep working on the game, largely because the market has started to experience severe turbulence (it looks very much as though the state is systematically weeding out the overly greedy players and deliberately driving into the ground those stocks that, by all metrics and reports, ought to be worth far more), but overall, my position in the market remains quite solid—though had I not taken a couple of actions that seemed logical (but turned out to be a trap), things would have been much better.

My new sponsors also turned out to be rather depressive individuals, so I sometimes have to play the role of a psychologist to calm them down; however, with such serious money at stake, I need to continue keeping my cool and minimize any other distractions for the time being.

Speaking generally, back in 2022, I would have dreamed of being in the position I find myself in on the stock market today; however, it is always unpleasant when real good fortune slips right through my fingers—though I believe that, within a few weeks, everything will fall back into place.

-------------------------------------------------

Regarding my virtual work, the core plan remains exactly as outlined in my previous post: until I complete the necessary recordings (which I listed in that earlier post) and finish editing them, I will not resume fundraising on my Patreon page. I hope I manage to do this within the next 30 days.

Patreon patrons don't need to do anything—you won't be charged anything while fundraising is paused. For Boosty users, I would recommend temporarily suspending your subscriptions. On Lava.top, I’ve already tinkered with everything (the site turned out to be incredibly inflexible), but I’m also asking subscribers there not to renew their subscriptions for the time being, until I fully resume work on the game.

I apologize for this whole situation, but right now, far more substantial funds are at stake—even more than everything I’ve raised on my Patreon page throughout its entire existence. And while the world goes mad, the stock market actually serves as a pretty decent solution—at least for me. (I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, though, since in most cases, nothing good comes of it for beginners.)

Hi,

Unfortunately, my real-life work is currently distracting me pretty hard from working on the game, and since I'm not happy with the speed of progress my self - I'll be pausing donations for about a month to make things more fair. During this time, I'll try to finish recording the adult scenes between Krystal and Kita and Krystal and Asela, and only after I finish editing these scenes (as well as the scene between Fox and Krystal that was already filmed) will I start collecting donations again. Expect the post with materials no earlier than the 13th-14th of next month, both regarding the resumption of donation collection and the content itself.

! Important note : Patreon users don't need to do anything— you simply won't be charged at the end of this month. Lava-top users can unsubscribe, or if you don't unsubscribe, I'll manually refund your current monthly fees at the end of the month. Boosty users—please unsubscribe from your paid subscription, as funds are withdrawn automatically, and I can't refund you manually.

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S. As many of you already know from my Discord, my real job involves active stock trading, and I currently have a fairly large volume of new clients I need to meet and sign due to my fairly successful work in this field over the past few years. While this is good news, the job is stressful, especially these days, as I have to read a lot of news and analyze everything, and this clearly does not benefit my playful mood for working on the game, however, I will try to catch up on my progress during this month break.

Hi,
I'm slowly coming out of my somewhat forced vacation, and I think this coming weekend I'll try to record a scene with Fox and Krystal (both dialogue scenes and adult content), and by the end of the month I'll also try to record all the necessary scenes with Kita, and then I'll resume the hunt for my friend (who has Asela on his account) in order to finish the adult content with her too.
Then I'll sort through the material I've received and add sounds to all the adult scenes (this also applies to the two older scenes I showed earlier), and only then will I think about what to do next - whether to mold the game update 0.2 from all the material I've received already or record a few more special scenes (for example, Krystal's scene with the private wolf, who, as we could find out from Asela's computer in the second act of the game, was directly related to the laundry), or anything else related to the reference to the second act of my game project in Krystal's dreams.
Overall, I'll make a decision after I've recorded all the scenes with Fox, Asela, and Kita, but if you'd like, you can leave your thoughts in the comments below this post.

Thank you for your attention, and as always, I'll be posting the first drafts of the materials I receive on Discord ( https://discord.gg/ARxTNwuuYa in game-project-news section ) first, and then, in more detail, in posts here.

Hi,

using the information provided to me by Patreon support, we found a way to restore functionality using the TEAM option, which left the issue of withdrawal to my friend in the US (It was taken into account that Patreon page is used to collect donations, and all my content is available on my public pages for free on the Internet (on Twitter, Furaffinity and Discord)), so I will resume work on the game from the 20th of this month (since I am currently on a break on Patreon, and I did not collect donations in February).

I want to give a special thank to everyone who supported me on

Lava.top (only 9! people, but still), however, if you feel more comfortable using Patreon(or Boosty) to support my work, please let me know (in private messages here or on Discord), and I will give you a full refund on Lava.top.

That's all for now, I hope there won't be any more unpleasant surprises in the near future.

Thank you for your attention and your support.

P.S. Special thanks to my friend from the US, because if it weren't for him, I probably would have gone on indefinite leave due to the fact that the

lava.top thread wasn't successful.

Hello,

Unfortunately, Patreon has removed Russia from the list of primary residences when filling out the tax form, which means it's impossible to complete the form registration and doesn't allow any withdrawals, even if a working PayPal account is linked to the page.
That's why I'm currently promoting my Lava.top page on Patreon ( https://app.lava.top/shinesl ) since they still have a working PayPal option (unfortunately, it's been broken on Boosty for a long time, otherwise I would promote it specifically), and by the end of next month, I'll be summing up the results.
If too few people switch to lava.top, alas, I'll have to pause work on the game until better times. I could, of course, take a risk and continue raising money on Patreon in the hopes of withdrawing it someday (as I did before), but two months ago they blocked all Russian IP addresses, and now this... And if I had a very substantial sum in their account right now (and sometimes sums of 3-5 thousand dollars accumulated there), I would be in a very sad situation right now. Luckily, only a little more than a month's income was blocked, and I can do a refund (since the money is still fresh, about 400 dollars), but conclusions must be drawn, and I'm afraid I can no longer trust their online resource as I did before.
Regarding Boosty, I would now recommend stopping all active subscriptions, since I may go on indefinite leave at the end of next month, and I don’t know how to pause donation collection on Boosty. I hope this doesn't happen, but everything is now in the hands of my Patreon patrons, I gave them an alternative, but if they decide en masse not to use it, they will make a choice, and I will react to it.
Thank you for your attention and I apologize for this whole situation, unfortunately, I cannot influence it in any way due to the fact that I am just an ordinary Internet user, like many of you.

Hi,
a spoiler with all the recorded content so far has been posted on my discord server ((( https://discord.gg/ARxTNwuuYa ))) in the ((( game-project-news section))), and if you're not afraid of spoilers, you can check out the content there.
Thank you for your attention and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi,

with the help of my laptop, I've managed to get more or less comfortable working conditions, and I think that by the weekend I'll have completely sorted through the video materials I already have (And I'll most likely make a post with these files this weekend), and by that time, I hope I'll be able to work while sitting (instead of lying down, like I am now), which will allow me to record new video materials.

Overall, my recovery is progressing more or less well, although not without some setbacks, but I hope that by the end of the month I will be fully functional again, just like before the operation. Anyway, we'll see.

That's all for now, thank you for your support and patience.

Hi,

Unfortunately, none of us are immortal, and it just so happened that I ended up in the hospital. My appendix became severely inflamed, and I had to have surgery. Everything went well, overall, but there were some complications. Plus, my old ailments, like gastritis, reactivated. Now, in addition to recovery (which takes about two weeks), I'll also have to deal with gastritis treatment.

Overall, it's not fatal, I'm used to difficulties in life, but I still have a certain feeling as if I've been away not for 6 days, but for several months... However, perhaps these negative thoughts will soon leave my head when I start to feel better, however, if within 5-7 days I don't feel significant improvements, I will freeze the donation collection for 30+ days, so that with a clear conscience I can fully focus on myself and my treatment.

So, I have nothing more to add for now, but I'll let you know what I decide in 5-7 days.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Hi,

In this post, I want to describe what I've already managed to record and what I plan to do before the end of the month:

- Four scenes of Krystal interacting with Asela, Seth, Paddi, and Kita have been recorded (including all of Krystal's emotions).

- Adult content featuring Seth has already been recorded.

- Scenes have been recorded showing Krystal's thoughts while she's dreaming (with a background of fog mixed with outer space for a dreamlike effect), as well as all the stages of increasing arousal against the same background (some of this has already been shown in my previous posts and on Discord).

This weekend I want to film an adult scene with Paddi or Asela (if I can film them both, that would be even better, but some of my friends are hard to catch when they're free, ugh).

Hi,

I got a little carried away experimenting with filters, and decided to try making the Krystal's dreams look unusual (Since this is a public post, I won't be posting anything extra, which you can find on my Discord server ((( https://discord.gg/ARxTNwuuYa ))) in the ((( game-project-news section))), and you can see the first results below (Please copy the entire link and paste it into your browser's address bar for everything to work):

- Krystal meet Asela in her dream (Not all of the material, only a part of it as a demonstration) - ((( https://mega.nz/file/foQykDwR#mwWCx0MqDcyp-3ydovSm27VvfY53lB60PdRSP74OflA )))

- Krystal's scene of Dream starts (More versions are on Discord, the link is at the beginning of the post, and btw - the versions wearing clothes will be responsible for dreams with vanilla content.) - ((( https://mega.nz/file/ylpAkSoZ#_19tjHskLEiKYICmHOXuqIKhgbje-a0IYmvIPv8dbh8 )))

Since I wasn't able to meet up with my friends this weekend, I'm rescheduling the filming with them for Thursday or weekend. However, if there is a delay - I think I'll try to film more scenes with Kita sooner, specifically moments of Krystal waking up after particularly intense dreams (But here I need to carefully consider this point in case the player decides to play the game in a vanilla way: will this approach lead to an expansion of the relationship with Kita or not).
