Gynocracy development update

Added 2025-08-30 16:12:54 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone,

Summer is coming to an end. I hope you all had a great time, and I'm sure you're wondering what I've been up to. First, I've continued working on Chapter 11, of course. I've already shown you some teaser images, and you'll find more attached to this post. Things are looking grim for our protagonist.... As you can see, Gynocracy has turned into a courtroom drama for the time being 😅 Work is steady, I'm now fighting a bit with Daz Studio (the software used for art rendering), but that's not unusual.

Second, I did some preliminary work on the Gynocracy J.O.I. side project I mentioned earlier. It was kind of my summer pet project. I know at least 45% of you don't care about this, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to get it out of my system, haha. I have basically finished programming it and "just" need to create the art. The good news for the 45% of you is that I'm currently pretty sick of this project, so maybe I'll get back to it later, or maybe I won't.

Third, it's a bit of a mood killer that producers of adult video games are under a lot of pressure lately. You may have heard about this issue. It started when an Australian "feminist" religious fanatic activist group called Collective Shout successfully attacked the Steam and Itch platforms through payment processors. The result: Steam removed many adult games from its store, and Itch delisted ALL paid adult games.
Additionally, the Online Safety Act took effect in the UK, requiring age verification for all adult content online.
Honestly, all of this affects my bottom line, and I really hope things will stabilize soon. But I'm not holding my breath.

So, that was my summer. Ups and downs 😅 How was yours?
