VerticalBox

So I realize it's been almost two weeks since I posted anything and for that I apologize. I got sidetracked working on another project that's been a lot of fun. I doubt many of you will LIKE it since it's not the usual BBM-NTR stuff, but hey, whatever. It'll get posted (hopefully) by the end of the month. And if none of you guys like it... too bad, I guess. Part of the reason I like not having a Patreon is I don't really owe anyone anything. I can work on whatever I want whenever I want. I just... make no money... Damnit. Anyway, as the title would imply; the Christmas Poll is now closed. Thanks to all who participated and to those who COULD HAVE participated but didn't: you're dead to me. So the winning categories, then: For the Girl: Tomboy Strong-Willed Tan For the Guy: Middle-Aged/Older (It was actually a tie, but whatever) Fat Glasses Story Type: Netorare Good stuff, all around. I was surprised that strong-willed, tan tomboy won by a pretty significant ...

  Berty, what are you even doing? Yeah, I was expecting a megaphone or a gong or something. Not... whatever the hell you're doing. Hey, you know what's REALLY alluring? Not you! Yeah yeah yeah. ANYWAY. We don't have time for all that. People have short attention spans. In fact, here's the link you need: https://forms.gle/mNEx6W5W7qLCBPZz9 So I was trying to come up with a good comic for Christmas, since I missed out on Halloween (though a Halloween-ish comic comes out almost every other week, so meh) and... well, what am I supposed to do for Thanksgiving? Pocahontas? ... Actually, though... Anyway, I wanna do something for Christmas. So I thought what better present than letting YOU GUYS pick the next comic? And I don't just mean picking the characters, I mean MAKING the characters. The poll attached lets you pick the main traits of the guy and girl of the next comic. It could be about a cheerful, tan tomboy and her fat stepdad or the blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreig...

  A pioneer, I say! As far as I know, nobody's done Bannerlord porn until now! Granted, there have been porn mods (many of which I played), but no actual comics/art. At least... as far as I know. So if I'm the first that feels prett~y good. Mesui - to me - is the pinnacle of Bannerlord Waifus. She's the leader of the Khergit (which go on to rule the steppes in Warband), has a cool scar and is, overall, a complete MILF.  Whether this takes place before or after the Battle of Pendraic I'm not sure. I was thinking after, since her clan would be in shambles and she'd be more interested in producing heirs since... well... they killed all the men-folk of the clan. Essentially, Mesui has been campaigning in Battania, having cut a warpath through the Empire and conquered much of the East (as always seems to be the case with the Khuzait whenever I play). Now at peace with the Empire, she and the Khuzait target Battania. Her army is defeated after a difficult fight from which...

  Well, here's something for you. Sort of. I mean, it's not really anything, actually, but it's something. Sort of. Anyway... Work on VerticalQuest has slowed a little bit. I'm obviously still working on it, but I'm shifting a bit to a NEW Visual Novel that I'm hoping I can get out much sooner. I spent all day plugging away at it and... it's coming along. It's a lot more simple, with basically - like - three endings or so. Basically designed to be played through in its entirety each time, instead of played in installments. It's a story that definitely COULD have been a comic, but I felt was a little too complicated and had a few too many options and possible outcomes. I think Kanako (the female lead, pictured above) might be the prettiest girl I've designed, honestly. And I'm speaking objectively, of course. You're free to like whoever you like and - honestly - she's a little vanilla for my tastes, but... she is just REALLY pretty. Li...

  I'm starting to think this comic is cursed. Not only was it causing my Studio to crash, now it's caused my whole computer to crash. And I still don't know what's causing any of it. It's really a bummer because it's a comic I'd love to get finished, but it's taking way longer than it should. Really, this should've been done like two weeks ago, but due to technical problems I haven't been able to get around to it. Anyway I'm over a hundred pages in so I can't exactly call it quits and I really don't wanna redo any of it.  But mark my words, I'll have it done in some form within the week!

  You know, I feel like the first time a new game or software crashes is the most heartbreaking. Up until then you just don't really worry about it, because you always assume (or at least, I know I do) that the game will be fine. You have this blind confidence in it and don't really worry about what 'might' happen. Then it crashes. Out of nowhere, it just stops working. And all that confidence vanishes. From then on, whenever you play the game you just think to yourself 'ok, shit, hopefully this doesn't cause it to crash' and you end up feeling like you're walking on egg shells while playing/using it. Suddenly it's a lot harder to get immersed because you don't have that same faith as before.  It happened to me with Bannerlord, most recently. It suddenly became 'a game that crashes sometimes' instead of just 'a game'. It's sad, really. ... Anyway, newer, shinier HS2 installed and working fine (for now).  TIME T'GET BACK T...

  No images, no updates, just pain. I needed to complain a bit. For some reason the studio is starting to crash whenever I take a screenshot and I swear it's happening more and more each day. I was midway through the Tomo scene when - for no reason - the studio just decided it couldn't take screenshots anymore. Checking other scenes it crashes when just the map is loaded, sometimes when the characters are loaded and sometimes I swear it crashes when the freaking CAMERA ANGLE changes.  So what to do? I've cleared up a bunch of space on my PC and am now downloading a newer, shinier version of Honey Select. It's really the only thing I can think of; the classic 'uninstall-reinstall'. It's definitely not ideal since these file sizes are GIRTHY, man, but it's all I can think to do. There's seemingly no rhyme or reason to these crashes and no help can be found online. A deer's gotta do what a deer's gotta do. One day I'll just be able to chill,...
