An Update + Sneak Preview

First, I've updated my backer tiers. Pledging $5 gets you an invitation to a special channel in my server, exclusive to backers, which is undeniable proof of good breeding and virility.

Second, here's the status of the adaptation writing: Headhunting will be published in late August, unless some unforeseen calamity befalls me. I had planne...

Recent Events and Upcoming Features

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS, MALCONTENTS.

As always, sorry for the long periods of radio silence. I'm repeating myself, but I just really struggle to think of anything worth updating you all on when nothing's really changed...

But something has changed, and so, while a good chunk of you have probably already heard this in my D...

Big update: Good news and bad news.

Sorry about the silence. I have a hard time posting updates when I don't have anything new to say, and multiple posts going: "I'm getting little things done here and there, but I still have a lot of writing work to do for my job, so that's taking the majority of my focus!" strikes me as lame.

But now I actually do have big news worth infor...

Progress update

And by update, I mean "It's pretty close to where we were last time."

I'm steadily clearing my real-life work, piece by piece, but mod stuff realistically can't take priority over doing stuff that pays my bills, so stuff is moving slow. Such is life.

But as for actual Lacey updates, yeah, I've got an incredibly stupid WW even...

Status update

It's been a bit since my last post. Since then, I did manage to bug Patreon into finally giving me my money, but I didn't get around to updating this page here to say that. But it's all good, at the moment. (Let's see what happens with the payout early next month, though.)

As for where we are now, I have good news and bad news. The bad ne...

Current Status: It's all so tiresome.

Unfortunately, things are moving at a glacial pace because I'm extremely inundated with work at the moment. While I am trying to get stuff done on the mod in the meantime, I do need to prioritize my real-world obligations, and right now that means the companion is on the backburner while I catch up. Thankfully, because of the generosity of you ...

Current status: Minutiae

Since my last update with screenshots and the reveal that Lacie now functions as a companion, we've entered the stage of mod creation where... There's not going to be a whole lot to say. Right now, I'm filling out locational dialogue from place to place. I want her to have a large suite of comments she can make in various locations, even if ther...

The soul-crushingly tedious stuff is done.

Well, I finally found myself with enough free time that I could hammer out all the boring, tedious, mind-numbing minutiae that is turning a regular NPC into a companion.

Lacie (pictured above and subject to facial tweaks and edits at my discretion) now functions on that base level. She'll follow you, switch from guns to me...

Back to it.

Well, I finished that work gig I had, which means that in the next couple days, I'm going to buckle down and deal with the "fun" of making her companion mechanics function, and I'll also grab a screenshot of her face.

And just in case anyone had any fears/expectations/hopes of me ruining my own work with "AI" voices, hahaha no. Nev...

Status update: Work

Progress on Lacie is a little slow right this second as I complete some real-life work that is creeping up on me. Alas, the tax man comes for us all.

However, that ought to be done within a week or so, and after that, I'm going to knuckle down on the most tedious bit of companion creation: Implementation.

So, getting he...

Oh boy, crafting!

Lacie is not going to have an in-dialogue crafting menu like Veronica, but what this mod will have is a couple new crafting recipes, like converting cherry bombs into gunpowder. Another one that's more character related is that, if Lacie likes the player, she can share her (slightly alcoholic) fruit drink recipe, because she despises both pre-wa...

Mod done, slaves freed.

And there we go. In a shocking twist, I've release a fully-voiced, non-shitpost mod on the damn Nexus again. Enjoy!

And now, on to the Boomer companion.

The slaves are just about free.

I'm relatively sure I'm done with my upcoming slave liberation mod. Some parts of it were easier than I expected (having Melody and Siri react to whether the player is an enemy of the Legion), others were harder than I expected (The women with the backpacks), and some were exactly as annoying as I expected them to be (splicing together some audi...

Side Objective: Free the Slaves (from buggy mods)

Alright, I've stated that I was going to lock down progress updates on Lacie for backers only, and yet, this post is free. "Why is that?" I hear you ask. "Th3overseer, why are you so attractive?" I also hear you ask. "I am a keen practitioner of incest." You also confess to me, unbidden.

Because this ...

Progress update

I've been writing some dialogue here and there for Lacie. Unfortunately for my desire to give flashy and dynamic updates to everyone, that's not really conducive to screenshots, especially since her actual follower mechanics aren't even implemented yet. So, in lieu of any screenshots of that mod, here's Dooley without his mask on.

So far,...

Steamy Romance Sidequests and Skintight Pants

Greetings, attractive and magnanimous patreon backers. Going forward, updates and posts regarding the companion mod will be backer-only, so revel in your superiority, like the gigachads you are.

So, today I'm going to explain my release plan. Since I'm pretty sure you're all here from my discord, you're assuredly aware that I'm not ...

Companion Progress

If this were a quest mod or a new lands mod, I would offer some progress screenshots, but that's not really a thing with this mod. So I'll make this first progress update by just going over some plans and implementations. So, here's the plan for her. (This will also be my last public post about it, going forward, only you attractive backers will...

Tentatively working on a mod.

After some serious deliberation, I'm tentatively going to begin work on a relatively-standalone FNV companion mod. It's not a continuation of my narrative series, but it's also not a low-effort shitpost mod.

My sincere gratitude to anyone who contributes even a single cent to this patreon, and I can assure you that every dollar tha...

No More Mods on the Nexus.

If, somehow, you folks like my content enough to financially support me, but you've also missed what's been happening in the modding sphere lately, well... The short version is that Nexus mods is run by lying exploitative cowards. They've revoked mod authors rights to delete our own files in preparation for some "mod pack" scheme that would line...

There is no mic.

Amazon shoved it up their cavernous volcanic spewing asshole, and they lost it in there when they realized they forgot their spelunking gear. I still have no mic, and now I also don't have the fucking money I paid those inept cocksucking cunts, and my only fucking recourse is to try and buy the exact same fucking one from them, because it's all ...

The mic is lost in the void.

I paid Amazon to deliver my shit on wednesday. They took my money without hesitation. Wednesday comes, and they say: "Uhhh, there's a widdle bit of wind, we don't wanna drive in the wiiiiiiind. It'll be here on Thursday instead."

Now it's fucking thursday, and where is my mic? GOOD QUESTION. I don't fucking know, Amazon apparently doesn't ...

Possible mic fix

I don't know if this is going to work, but I feel like there's an okay chance that I'll have a quality mic tomorrow. We'll find out soon enough.

Cursed September Patreon Video

My mic has gotten worse. Until I get it sorted out, this is what we have to work with. Thanks to everyone who supports me. I really do appreciate it.

August Patreon Video

The agreed upon video wherein I say the name of all you saintly folks who have pledged to give me at least ten dollary-doos a month. Enjoy!

A Cautionary Tale

Remember folks, it's always okay to follow your dreams!

Just accept that if your dreams consist of something silly like: "writing" or "acting" or "making dubiously-functional game mods" then you also need to accept that you're not financially viable, and your only "skills" are both unmarketable, and over-represented by humanity ...

Yep.

If I make a single buck off this thing, I will be shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
