Update
Added 2020-05-09 05:44:36 +0000 UTCI know I have been a bit quiet lately, so I wanted to let you all know what's going on and what the plans are for going forward.I guess it is safe to say that the ongoing Covid epidemic has changed quite a few things. For me personally, it means having my family around me almost 24/7. Which is awesome! This really makes you wonder why we considered it a "modern" society when dad commutes an hour in one direction to do something he can as well do at home, mom commutes one hour in the other direction to do something she can as well do at home, everybody is stressed out when they convene at home for dinner, and then the family shares one hour or two of so-called "quality time" before going to bed. Did it really take a pandemic to make us see what a mockery we've made of family life?
Well, that was the good part.
However, it means that I don't get to work on naughty stuff as much these days. With schools being closed and kids running around in the house, peeking over mom's shoulder in random intervals and wondering what she's got on her screen there, the hours I can put into bondage games are sort of limited right now. For...obvious reasons? Still, I have the chance to work on my mods every now and then and try to make good use of these hours. I managed to publish updates for both DCL and DDC in the past weeks. The latter is now a fully usable bondage furniture framework. Based on T'ara's work back then, I also figured out how to convert ZAP 7 devices for use with DDC, so you can expect at least some of these devices to find their way into DDC in the not-so-distant future.
Also not too far away is a smaller bugfix release for the DD framework that will pull in a few fixes suggested by users. I got sent a few new devices for DDX I would like to implement and test, too!
As far as DCL goes, I want to create a quest involving the new rope devices now available in the framework. The quest will be given you by the Dollmaker, after completing the Chloe quest. It will be the next step in creating a full-fledged bondage quest line! Another thing I have planned is adding furniture to already existing DCL quests, where they make sense! There are some much bigger ideas and plans too, but right now, I am in "smaller things whenever I can make them happen" mode.
As you probably all know, Covid also has impacted a lot of us financially. My family was one of the luckier ones, as nobody has lost their job yet. But while I personally did not have a job to lose, as I am a stay-at-home mom, I still had to watch my Patreon getting slashed by more than 50% in the past weeks. This Patreon is kinda my only source of income. Like many other modders, I don't play Skyrim much anymore. I still love working on my mods though, and the Patreon sort of gave me the excuse to by providing some sort of income to me. Your support is appreciated and it will keep these updates coming, pandemic or not! To those of you who were contributing in the past and present: Thank you! You guys and girls are what kept me going.
You all stay safe out there!
