After all the recent negativity over Patreon being a bunch of Orwellian cunts, here's me trying to be positive with plans for 2019.
2018 (and 2017) were a little weird. In terms of word count I'm still producing a decent amount of cont...
2019-01-02 13:51:25 +0000 UTC View PostThank you to the people sending me comments over the past couple of days.
In case you were unaware, Patreon have been de-platforming creators on what appear to be ideological or political grounds. I object strongly to this for both eth...
2018-12-31 16:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up, apologies for the quietness this December. Some other-life stuff cropped up at the start of the month and by the time I was through it I was caught up in the holidays.
And then Patreon decided to shit the bed… 2018-12-28 18:30:40 +0000 UTC View Post
Apologies for the belated update. I've had some dental work done which has knocked me about a bit (having bits of metal screwed into your skull will do that!).
So, what has Hydra been up to?
As part of my commitmen...
2018-11-30 12:59:08 +0000 UTC View PostBit of a late update post as I've been fighting off winter lurgy for most of the week. As a result things have been a little spotty this week. I have a free weekend, though, so I'm hoping to catch up again.

2018-11-17 20:14:22 +0000 UTC View PostA quick update post as I'm away this weekend.
The boob monster short story is progressing nicely. I managed to wrestle the back story to roughly where I want it and now it's time to give the protagonist some fun in the boob dimensi...
2018-11-09 12:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, I did say I'd give patrons some insight into my creative process. Although I... uh... might have gone into greater detail and length than I originally planned on this one (it was supposed to go up on Monday). I've also added it as a...
2018-11-07 14:05:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm currently creating passages and flinging them around in Twine for the next CYOA scenario. Working title at the moment is "Escape Petalina's Flower Show". I'm not sure what Petalina is and I don't think the CYOA will clear this up. &nb...
2018-11-02 11:05:57 +0000 UTC View Post(or should that be Bubblicious. Hmm....)
As part of my continued efforts to try and offer something more to patrons (you will get semi-exclusive stories at some point!) I thought I'd open up the ideas file.
One of the best bits of advi...
2018-10-29 23:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhoops. I think my last post might have come across a little more flippant than I intended, as it looks like I lost a couple of you. My fault, I'll have to put out more juicy succubus smutness to win you back.
And on that subject. ...
2018-10-24 17:10:24 +0000 UTC View PostI was abducted. They did... things to me.
Just kidding. I took a little vidya break to recharge the batteries and it seems to have worked as a short story I've been stuck on for a while appears to have unlocked. It might be the en...
2018-10-20 16:17:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Escape Volumpula, the Pink Jelly" is out. If you're a patron, you can grab that file from the previous post.
Please let me know what you think - what worked, what didn't (and most importantly - let me know if anything seems broken!)

2018-10-04 14:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhew. That took longer than expected. I'll have to take a look at my work process and see where I can improve things for future scenarios.
The CYOA scenario is ready though. I'm going to make it available early to patrons (be...
Whew. I'm glad I asked on that. No credits or Opt-in seems to be the more popular option.
Okay, so I'll tentatively go Opt-in. If you don't mind being on a list of patrons included at the end of the CYOA, let me know in the commen...
2018-09-27 16:16:29 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, this is the second, patron-only, post I alluded to in the weekly update post.
I'm not far from release. This will be the first thing I'...
Here is the weekly update. As with all things coding, things take longer than I think.
I'm now at the debugging stage. So far the easy stuff looks fine - a few formatting fixes, editing typos, etc.
Sugarcube for Twine does h...
Actually, it isn't. However, my estimations at how long things will take...
Turns out there was a little bit more than just plugging text into the existing skeleton. There was also a hefty bit of formatting and some tinkering with c...
2018-09-13 13:13:28 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a little slow and sludgy. For some reason I always run into productivity problems whenever a phase/chapter/story runs longer than I'd like, and the last week or so has been a bit of a brutal crawl.
The majority of the scenes are now...
2018-09-05 13:54:40 +0000 UTC View PostSluggish is probably the best description for progress.

It is progressing though, just a little slower than I'd like.

Been bounced around on real-life work related things last few days, but on the positive side all the waiting around in airports and flying did allow me to get the 1st draft of the Escape the Pink Jelly CYOA written. It nearly filled the whole n...
2018-08-15 15:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostWork on "Escape the Pink Jelly Girl" is progressing. I'm currently in a weird hybrid state of typing up the various passage entries while still writing the final scenes. (This normally happens when some scenes are proving a little awkward...
2018-07-25 11:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome. If I've got this right, this should be visible to patrons only.
First, thank you very much for supporting me. It is much appreciated.
This is where I will be posting updates as well as some original content. Y...
