HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Starting next year I'll be making a game!

Ahhhh I'm so scared! I'll try to split this post in a few parts:

1) What I'm doing
2) What the game will be about
3) Schedule
4) What will change for you
5) Extra thoughts...
6) Release date and after that

1) It was always my dream to make some kind of game and I'll finally be making one! I'll be honest, I'm really scared to start this huge project >.<. I have a friend that will do the programing and I'll be doing all the art, but this project will take about two years to finish, so a lot will change by then. I don't know how people will react to the game, will they like it and will they be willing to support me trough the whole process of development, but we'll never know unless we try, this might be a huge flop or a success that will lead to something new.

2) Do you guys know the game "Huniepop"? It's a straight game with woman, so maybe not xdd, but the game will be about meeting guys, taking them on dates, where you essentially play candy crush lol, and when you get enough points you get some kind of picture. First picture is something nice and cute, then last one is after you take them home and you know heh ;3 (the goal is to take them home and fuck them :v).
I plan to have 9 original characters in the game, some new, some old. Always wanted to bring my boys to life! At the moment I plan to use Jeff, Darius and Teim in the game, but maybe I should add someone extra? Was thinking maybe George owo
I'll try to make the guys as distinct as possible from one another and make them diverse, from edgy or shy twinks to buff confident or dilf buff guys!
I plan to get voice actors for the game too, but how much of it is actually voiced will depend on the prices of the actors. I'll be funding the game from my own savings, but maybe I'll make something for donations if people would be willing to help out >.<

3) I added my schedule to attachments, I'll be writing the story, dialogues, drawing the characters, the sexy art, the UI, the backgrounds. I'll be doing almost everything exempt the programing, music and voice acting :v
I'll also try to do some fanart when I can tho :x

4) what will change:
as you know, the way I do my rewards is: 4 fan art drawings and 5 comic pages per month. Unfortunately, if I want to make this project a reality changes have to be made and I'm really sad to announce I wont be doing as much fan art for the following years... I'll be transforming the "Send Nudes" tier in to "Gamer bois!" tier. Instead of the 4 usual drawings I'll be spending time on either drawing the new oc art, writing dialogues, doing ui or backgrounds or any other thing needed for the game... yah... I'm really scared about this change to be honest, because I know most people are here for the fan art... I'll try, when possible, to make at least once extra drawing per month, even if it ends me, but I'm ready to do anything to make you guys happy! >.<
When I draw fan art I'll try to pull out the A+ material xdd (so more Killua? xdd)
The "reading squad" will have some changes too, obviously I don't plan to stop my comic mid chapter, but I will be drawing less pages per month... at least for a bit. Instead I'll be drawing new character sheets for the game! So the story will be going a bit slower, buuut you'll get some cool special intel on the bois :o. I'll try to do at least 4 pages tho, because even tho it's really hard work, I don't want to spend forever drawing one chapter...

Ok so basically:
"Send Nudes" tier will become "Gamer Bois" tier and will go from 4 fan art drawings to 4 game related things, will have a minimum of 2 drawings and +1 fan art when possible.
"Reading Squad" tier will go from getting 5 pages to 3-4 +1 new character sheet for the game.

5) I'm really scared to start this project, but also really excited, I'm like a metronome haha. But if I don't do this now I'll just continue thinking what could have been... The thing I'm scared the most about is the future of my patreon and subscribestar, I built this community with drawings of popular characters and even now it's hard to keep stable and growing. I expect the number of supporters to fall, but I don't know how much it will impact my income, only time will show...
I wish I could still do big amounts of fan art, but it's either this change or no game at all... (or going back to working 8 days a week...).
I'll try to do my best tho and keep everyone engaged!

6) I plan to release the game either late 2027 or beginning of 2028, depends on how the work goes and if everything goes smoothly (I also really want to avoid releasing the game the same time as "Jock Studio", cus it will kill my engagement dkjgjdkfg). When we have enough of the game where it's possible to play I will give you guys something to try out haha. I'll make some special months for game testing and will listen to your feedback!
When the game is done I plan to give a discount for the people that supported me during development and I really want to put the final version on Steam (really praying I'll be able to put it there!)
After the game is done I'll go back to drawing fan art :v (plans might change depending on how popular the game gets)
The game should be around 17-20$ (might change later)

In summery, I'm both excited and scared to start this project, but I really hope the majority of you will continue supporting me trough this journey, cus I really need the moral support and I want to make this game as good and fun as possible!
Let's make and fuc some hot guys! >:3
