A Content Shift (Patreon)

Details & Thoughts (PLEASE READ BELOW FOR FULL DETAILS!)

Some elements of this shift are sadly not preferable; I will try my best to balance the decisions as best I can. This is just something I really need to do based on few circumstances legally, mentally, and morally. One is that the underlaying business laws in my country are quite a bit different to America in terms of nsfw content. They are quite outdated and ambiguous, many that could be dangerous to navigate if I continue with my current work. While people do things like OF here, it runs on a very ambiguous line. This moral issue extends to payment providers and other services too. Thankfully I haven’t run into any issues yet, however this could have consequences for my future, so it’s nothing I want to gamble on. Some laws are improving, and I hope for better regulations in the future. I will return to previous content paths in the future if the circumstances allow it.

Health & Part Time
I appreciate your support over the past few months. It’s a privilege to work full time supported by people that believe in my endeavours. However, I didn’t realise how taxing it would be for my heath. This is partly due to me learning to work for myself. Before taking a break in October I hadn’t taken a single weekend off or played any games. I think this was partly driven by my perceived expectations. I am working on improving this and taking better breaks. I appreciate everyone being so supportive of my October break, it meant a lot. While I would consider my body pretty healthy, my arms have started to show some issues again as well as some anxiety spikes. Due to a few factors mentioned here there was a week in September where most things I ate would come back up again. While I have some issues with anxiety, I don’t normally let it stop me from doing what I want to do. This was the first time it has deeply affected me, and I never want to go through that again.

Association and usage
I would kindly ask to not be credited for any explicit content going forward. For the majority of people, my work has been used respectively and in some pretty amazing ways! It’s great hearing about how my models have helped people feel more like themselves. However, some outliers have begun to use them quite recklessly. It’s great to be accepting of people’s kinks, however it’s important to respect others around you. Being on the internet can quite easily distort this perspective. It has affected me to some degree and I’m taking steps to improve myself as well. Please understand these models were created for people to enjoy generally within a private and consensual space. A little fun on public platforms is fine, although the use by some people has been getting me a bit concerned. I should have spoken up about this sooner. Many have sexual elements that should not be played off as something that it isn’t. I’m all for sexual expression, but with good education, respect and in moderation. I want to make sure I’m not contributing to bad habits in the future or objectifying bodies is a way that could be disrespectful or harmful. These things can be pretty addicting, and I suggest seeking help if it is negatively impacting your life.

Patreon & nsfw content
Patreon will remain on pause while I re-organize some things. When completed, I will detail any plans and give plenty of warning about changes. This may be completed in by December or January. I’m hoping to keep some things similar, just toned down and focused more on dev posts, fan art, tutorials & sfw Vtubers. I will also be reducing some perks to better balance my workload. At the moment there are 2 main perks which I would consider not fulfilled yet. Tier 4/5 Vtuber customization, which I will be completing this month, and HSG game perks. The customizations will continue, just more sfw and with better guidelines. HSG game founder perks will still be kept and saved, just no longer offered. I will swap these out with the safer version of the game for new supporters. Any content I consider too lewd will be archived for those interested then later removed. A mega for HQ vids & art is available on the Discord. If you do not use discord, dm me for a link. Future HSG rigs will be clothed, have more modest customizations, and have a greater focus on character. I am also thinking about going back and re-working previous HSG assets.

Game Projects
I’m sure as hell continuing work on my game! Game dev has been a great mix of what I enjoy. The support I have received over the past few months will allow me more free time to work on the game. I will continue posting updates, although it will be aimed more at the sfw elements such as coding, mini games, customizations, story & graphics. I will create 2 branches of the game with separate names. Content will be toned down for the main version and I will focus more on gameplay elements. Anything that is more nsfw will a hobby in my spare time not connected to the main branch. I’ll be announcing more details on these changes as I go. I’m also keen to make some smaller games too since the main one is rather big.

Discord:
I was thinking of opening the discord up publicly! This may not be for a bit tho, still thinking about it. I know there’s a lot of hawny people out there and don’t want to spend too much time having to bonk people XD. I may just wait a bit before opening up, keen to meet more of you tho <3

Gena Type Model & Vtuber Models
The variation with nsfw elements will be partially discontinued. It will be unpublished from Gumroad, however anyone who purchased it will still have access. It will remain on Patreon and archived as mentioned above. I also will not be providing further public licencing. Anyone who has public licencing will still be able to use it, however I ask that it is used more respectively on public platforms and within the platforms TOS. I will be working on a v2 version as a free upgrade to v1. It will still include some limited size variation, just no nudity or explicit content. Got some pretty neat plans for this model that I’m keen to work on! Including furry options, more clothing, hair variations, and easy customization support. I hope to provide people with a Vtube model that they can feel comfortable and themselves using.

Model Customizer
Model loading for old models will continue to be supported. Direct platform verification will be removed. They will need to be downloaded locally and loaded.

Commissions:
I’ll still be taking commissions which I’m excited to announce the opening of soon!
It will be application form style and in smaller batches. Due to the content shift I will not be taking any nsfw commissions or any content that may break a payment platforms TOS. Apologies if you were interested in getting a commission with more nsfw elements. Some tasteful lewd is okay, just nothing explicit. If it’s M rating and below it should be okay.

Future Plans:
I understand some people will no longer be interested in my content, that is completely understandable, and I thank you for your support thus far. Going forward, I will be branching out to some new possibilities as mentioned while still dabbling in a little respectful lewd content. I would also like to focus on improving my myself and raising others around me. I’m thinking about taking a weekend job, donating a portion of my time, and learning some new skills. I was also thinking about opening a live2d mentoring slot for those interested. I’m excited for what I create in the future! Stay tuned for what’s next and for any updates on the content shift.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this doc and for following my work.
