Roadtrip with Benefits - Infos about Part 2 and more (Patreon)

Hey!

In August I announced Roadtrip with Benefits (RwB) as an experimental approach of telling a more in-depth story over multiple albums which should become my most ambitious project so far.

Now that Part 1 has been released for the majority of Patrons (Founder release will be tomorrow) I want to give some feedback to how it went and how I want to move on with it.

Generally speaking I'm happy with how Part 1 turned out but I can now also see that the way I hoped to structure the whole Roadtrip does have issues that'll make it hard to move on the way I intended.

Complications

My biggest concern for moving on with RwB as intended is the timing and the variety of sceneries. Personally I felt that all chapters of Part 1 felt rushed, which makes sense considering I squeezed 4 scenes into one album.

I ended up giving the sex scene with Annie & Keith the latter half of the album but originally I also wanted to include some casual beach shots for social media and a shorter NSFW scene with Melanie and Steven that didn't make it in. Even without those, Part 1 ended up with 68 images which is already more than the average album - but if I wanted to include everything I had planned we would've been beyond 100. Based on what I had planned for Part 2, I already know that I'll run into the same issues there.

In short: The monthly release schedule doesn't work well with what I had in mind for RwB. I'd probably need 2 months per part to make them into what I intended in the beginning. However, given that I also want to move on with the World Of Leah storyline and not focus on Annie, Melanie, Keith & Steven for the next 4 months, I think there needs to be a compromise.

The compromise

The way I want to move on is by falling back to the normal album formula and work on Part 2 by focusing on the sex scene the same way I do in all my other albums, and then be done with the RwB experiment. 

Part 2 is going to be a foursome between all 4 characters and will naturally have a longer built up to it similar to Birthday with Benefits Part 1. So knowing that it will still have some story to it, I hope it feels like a fair compromise!

I'll give Part 2 a bit more leeway and won't aim for an early access release in the beginning of November but rather mid to end of November as I also expect the album to become a bigger one and end up with quite some more than the regular 60 images. 

Please feel free to discuss on Discord or in the comments here what you think of that decision as I'm always happy about input!

TLDR:

• Part 1 turned out well but I realized that the way I intended to structure the whole of RwB doesn't work out the way I hoped to due to the monthly release schedule. 
• Part 2 will be structured like a "normal" album and will feature a foursome sex scene between Annie, Melanie, Keith & Steven. RwB will end with Part 2.
• Part 2 will be released mid-end of November and will probably include much more than the regular 60 pics.
