Hello everyone!
I'd like to announce that the details of the commission with Ritualist have been pretty much finalized. It's on the waiting list, and I've seen some early sketches, and I have a feeling you guys are going to be blown away by it! The overall total for all the comic strips+image was $155, which will be deducted from the Kicking it Forward Fund.
I've received a large influx of watchers and pageviews from the CYOA game. Which is great! Welcome if you're new around this page! Having said that, do keep in mind the CYOA game is a side project - the meat of my work is my stories.
If you guys would like to see the CYOA get more frequent updates, and to eventually have assets commissioned for it, please check out the Patreon behind it www.patreon.com/magnuscyoa I lowered the thresholds to start commissioning stuff, and upped the percentage going straight to commissions. Those of you who have already started sending me notes on DA about when the next update will be... I really need you to understand that 2.0 took me a ton of time to make. Like... more time than it would take me to write an exclusive Patreon story. I've got personal expenses, and my classes will be starting up again. While I have every intention to continue working on the game and releasing every iteration totally for free, please keep some realistic expectations in mind!
In order to help get more cash in the game's commission budget, I am making a poll to propose that the kicking it forward fund from my primary story Patreon be spent on commissioning assets for the game. Be sure to place your vote and let your voice be heard!
With all that in mind, what's next in the pipeline is the long overdue Tales From a Brawnafied World Volume 2! When I am close to release, I will put out a preview here on DA a couple days beforehand. Similar to last time, the voting for the next Patreon story was extremely close. Initially, a story involving a wealthy, aging woman going on an expedition to regain her youth was winning by a landslide - but as more votes came in, Mother Knows Best Rebirth Part 2 came neck and neck!
As a result, I'm going to deem those two the upcoming winners. This means,
What's coming up in the on the Patreon Front:
-Tales From a Brawnafied World Volume 2
- Mother Knows Best Rebirth Part 2
- Anya's Odyssey (working title)
On the DA front:
- A Duchess' Duty finale
- Commission for MrEdge
- FMG girlfriend adventure update
As always, comments, questions, feedback, or anything really is all highly welcome! Hopefully you will enjoy everything that's to come!
Thanks for your continued support,
- Magnus

Commissioning Art Retoucher
Looking to regularly commission someone who can retouch AI generated art. Primarily fixing hands, feet, and eyes. Possibly also faces and background elements. If you have this skillset and are interested, please send me a note on Deviantart or an email at MagnusMagneto23 (at) Gmail.com with your rates regarding this, and if possible any examples you've done. (Note: I am still commissioning human artists for illustrations as well whenever the budget of a project allows, but for now AI is extremely cost effective)

Stamina Update Released to Early Access Patrons
Hello,
I've just finished the first beta of the stamina update, and sent it to the $10 backers from that pledge.
If you successfully processed a pledge for the -stamina update- (end of July), and didn't receive it, please send me a message.
I'll be sending it out to consistent beta testers later tonight - if you've helped out on prior beta tests and haven't received it by tomorrow, let me know.
If you missed out on pledging for the Stamina Update and would like Early Access, it will be available on Gumroad later this weekend/early next week.
The Stamina Update ended up being perhaps the largest update yet. Only a few others stick out in my

I'm a bit leery of the > $10 categories on patreon for the game. They're per-month costs that seem to have a one time payoff, and once you get your result, can you keep getting more?
I guess they make sense as a "I want to fund development at a higher level", which is really what they all are, since it's "per month" and this is likely a few month endeavor (esp with school and writing!). But this is fine, it's just something that patron's should keep in mind.
that said, I'm going to chip in, this is an interesting endeavor, and it should be encouraged. I just have to figure out what that level is going to be.
Also have you figured out if you can sell the game somewhere? It does sound like something that people would be willing to buy, especially after you add art assets to the game!
