June 2026 Update

Hello everyone, happy hot days! Let’s address the elephant in the room first.

Protocol: Heat

As you probably noticed, we have a distinct lack of Club EP1 animation in May. It is definitely annoying, as that was the deadline that we agreed on with the audio engineer, but unfortunately things didn’t go as planned and so far I only got drafts.

You can believe me, I’m as disappointed as you by the delay. To be fair to him, this animation is quite chaotic with a lot of moving parts and many characters, so it isn’t a walk in the park to make it sound good.

I will keep you updated and release it as soon as it’s ready.

Meru Tentacle Expedition

Part 1 animation is done and fully rendered as far as visuals go. Again, sound will be the bottleneck. I could look for another audio guy to take care of this one, however the current one has done a good job with other animations so far, so maybe we should wait instead.

What I’m working on

I spent the first part of May updating Tristana and Poppy models, making sure they’re nice and ready to use for the general public. While I understand it doesn’t qualify as “content”, consider it an investment. We’re investing resources into broader shortstack economy, as various artists can pick up the shortstacks and do stuff to them. More shortstack content = good.

You can grab current version of Poppy and Tristana on smutbase:

ADHD Rambling

I won’t bore you with model changes to my characters, but a bunch of them got updated in various ways too. It’s a neverending process.

As for animation goes, I finalized the Meru stuff, as mentioned, but also worked a bunch of the Protocol: Euphoria, where Eleonore is making R’Shiru go wiiiild. And I mean wild. It needs to live up to the title, after all.

Which generates another problem, EP1 had just voice acting slapped on at the end, without too much care (as they don’t talk too much). EP2 is much more focused and probably deserves a decent voice over with lipsync etc. As you probably noticed by now, I’m not good with planning these things and I just animate haphazardly as I go. Eh, I’m rambling, anyway, I will try to structure it better and make it good.

Render Pack

I got some more renders this month, many of then were suggested by Discord community members, I will pack them up and get them to you soon.

Popularity Contest

I posted the character list to many places and it seems Lillya is the current star, overcoming many of the better established characters. I guess Fairy enjoyers are too strong. Liz is up there too, along the dynamic duo of Meru and Miru.

R’Shiru did well, so did Sol’phie and Eleonore.

Eru has somewhat fallen off and will need to convince the world with some tentacle breeding that she is the best character.

The rest of the characters, you didn’t care about much. Not that surprising as most of them didn’t get much screen time. You definitely didn’t like our resident succubus Tiloucia, sucks for her!
