Heyo Internet Friends,

I realized two years have gone by since I've posted a personal note. Time just seems to slip by so quickly these days. The biggest change in my life since my last post is that Wifey and I had our first child last summer. Being a parent has really changed everything, it is both exhausting and exhilarating. We have a healthy baby boy who is already crawling around the house, terrorizing the cats, and putting anything he can get his hands on into his mouth. Most of the time he's all smiles and giggles and the best thing in the world; but at night he has a shifting bedtime that ranges from 8-Midnight. We call it his witching hours since he can be a real fuss pot. We've tried all manner of sleep training and pause methods, but never found much success. Since his birth he also hasn't slept completely through the night or longer then 5 hours at one time. Usually he gets up at least once, sometimes twice a night, needing to be fed or just rocked back to sleep. Having broken sleep through the night is not something you really ever get used too, but as the pediatrician and lots of family/friends tell us it won't last forever. Its all worth it, little rugrat is the highlight of my life so far.

Outside of family additions, work is chugging along. My career is going really well and in my tiny bit of spare time I'm still working on my longtime game project Momsterous. I know the popular thing to do is to make a patreon for your hobby projects to help support it but I promised myself a long time ago I wouldn't try to make money off of my fetish hobby and I know for certain I'd never be able to keep to any kind of deadline with my work, especially now that I'm a dad. The game has been ported from RPG Maker VX Ace to RPG Maker MV. The new engine allows for a lot of functionality that the previous didn't, like packaging the game for Mac and Linux or running custom java scripts which have been much easier to work with then the ruby RGSSS that VX Ace used. I don't have a new demo ready yet, but hopefully I'll have one ready before too long.

Aside from game dev, I've been writing and RPing. Some of the RP's I do with my friends end up lasting a year or more and when we finish a story arc we clean the logs and turn them into novels. I've got about 5 such novels that are over 100-pages long and with permission of my partners will start posting some day. I get a lot of PM's about either the Military Punishment and 2 Weeks with Ms. Roo stories, both of which still live on in RP form and the RP has been ongoing for the better part of almost 15 years. The logs are a few hundred pages now, although its not near releasable as they have never been cleaned up and have lots of commentary and personal notes back and forth between myself and a friend. Maybe someday they'll be cleaned up too though but its not priority at the moment.

That about wraps up the update for me. Hope everyone has had a great year so far. Still got a lot to look forward too; Wifey and I will be celebrating 10 years of marriage this summer and the 1 year birthday of our son!
