[Roadmap - July 2026] Interactive Pregnant Georgie, Patreon YCHs, Sketch Requests, Tier shakeups, Plans and goals
Ahoy!!
It's been hot, huh? A little too hot for my liking. I'm turning to calamari over here! ...which is strange because I'm a fish not a squid! ahem.Anywho, let's get started with the roadmap!
-=[ TL;DR ]=-
If you're a busy busy bee, I've got a quick TL;DR for you to read through!
[NEXT ANIMATION]: Interactive Georgie will be the main focus of this month.It's been a long time coming and the commissioner has waited a long time for it, so I'm going to prioritise it first. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of this month.
[PATREON YCH] Remaining Patreon YCHs will be worked on intermittently.Because of the above post, any YCHs will be slowly worked on. I can't promise one this month, I'm sorry.
[PATREON YCH] Status on Patreon animation YCHs.I initially thought they'd be quick and easy as the base was already done, but code changes and bug fixes mean they're taking longer to do than expected. I've redone the code so hopefully I can go faster now.
[PATREON REQUESTS] Sketch requests will return....the monkey's paw curls.... The caveat is that I will be drawing requests from previous months, or ones I've already got. Once they're done, I'll take more on.
[PATREON TIER SHAKEUP] $1 now get art, wips, and timelapse videos. I tried putting art on itch originally, but that's silly. Instead, I want to give $1 supporters something back for supporting me.
[PATREON TIER SHAKEUP] More reward for First Mates ($10 tier)First Mates will now get monthly 'Animation Breakdowns' where I talk in depth about how certain features I've programmed or animated work, as well as request priority w/ navigators, and exclusive Patreon YCH submissions.
[FUTURE PLANS] Interactive 2B Remaster.No plans for more of her this month, sorry! Please don't wait on her, I'll get it done eventually. That said...
[FUTURE PLANS] Complete back-catalogue remasters.When my queue is cleared, I'll be going back through my animations and remastering every single old animation.
[FUTURE PLANS] A Night With You - Full RemakeEventually, some time in the future, I want to redo all of A Night With You and make it the intended way I wanted to originally.
-=[ Next Animation: Interactive Pregnant Georgie ]=-
I was commissioned a while ago to animate Georgie, the zomble OC. It's been in slow development hell for a long time because I've been having to pull focus elsewhere. But now it's time I get to work on her. (There's a tonne of WIPs already available in previous posts)
She will be the core focus of this month - but please note that I can't and won't promise any concrete release date. I'm aiming for the end of this month, but that's all I can promise for now.
Believe it or not there's not a lot left to do on her! I need to tidy up the code, finish drawing her parts, add dialogue, and draw her birth scene. After that, she'll be done!
-=[ Remaster: Interactive Pregnant 2B ]=-
I'm not going to lie to anyone, this is NOT a priority! Please do not wait for it! It'll be done when I get free time, probably after Georgie is done.
-=[ Patreon YCH - Progress Report ]=-
Back in May, I took Patreon YCH requests to apologize for a lack of sketch requests. So... why has it taken me so long to make one?
Let me be blunt: I haven't dedicated as much time as I could have to working on them. The heatwave knocked out a large portion of my time, sure, but the quick answer is I could and should be stricter on myself.However, I'm sill very sure one or maybe even two a month alongside other projects is easily doable. I just need to be stricter.
What held me up was actually the codebase. My Shun animation, the one I used as the base for Mozumi Pichi, has incredibly messy code and a lot of it needed to be redone from scratch. However, now that's all done, most of the remaining YCHs should go by very quickly. Hopefully...Still, I don't want to promise them this month because I've got Georgie to finish and I really need to get her done ASAP. Once she's done, I'll be free to make an interactive again!
In the meantime, I'll be taking older submitted patreon sketch requests and making them as and when I can, that way you'll still get content.
-=[ Patreon Tier Shake-up ]=-
I've been really thinking about my tiers lately, comparing my time and effort to affordability.
Before I continue, I just want to say that this is not to guilt-trip anyone or earn anyone's pity.I work as a freelance creative consultant as my primary job, but I also act as the primary carer for a few family members. I won't sugar-coat it, the financial help I get here has helped me pay bills and rent, and has even helped us buy food. And for that I am incredibly and eternally grateful.
However, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trying balance the best value for money to my own personal gains. Sometimes coming home to animate for several hours after work for often very little is incredibly draining. So, I'm going to try something different. I want to give back to higher and lower tiers, so I'll changing up the way those Patreon tiers work the most.
