2020 Resolution Post

REMINDER: There's still a month to get a piece done for my cash prize art contest: https://www.deviantart.com/lexhanle.....izes-823055115
Hello all,
I wanted to do this post closer to Christmas but with my computer issues it was just not a good time. Now that everything is sorted out, I'd like to discuss my plans for 2020. This year has been a big year for me in terms of growing as an artist and as a game developer. I want to keep up that momentum into the new year and I've set my rules for 2020 accordingly:
1) I've cleaned my computer down to just art and game development software (GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Unity, SublimeText, Steam) in the name of committing my free time to game development. No distractions!
2) I will no longer be charging drawings on Patreon on as Creations. I am a per-creation patreon, meaning I only get funding when I post work. I will ONLY be charging on game updates. I will make less, but it will be strictly tied to producing game products/updates. Related....
3) I will be releasing game updates more often. Up until now I've been keeping updates to about once per month. I will now be releasing whatever I'm up to, ideally at least once per week. In some cases I will prune update releases to just the new level so it doesn't break, but I want to be more okay with showing my work in progress.
4) I will be trying to post more SFW art alongside my NSFW stuff. I've been getting closer to my SFW art over the course of the year and really feel like much of my best growth was in that area because it pushed me to be creative in other ways. Related...
5) I will be aiming to produce more explicit art occasionally. I want to get past my hangups on sexual subjects in art. I've done a bit near the end of the year. This work will be posted largely on twitter as I do not want to push my luck on DA or Patreon.
I hope these changes/ideas will help me focus in on making my smutty lil games for you all at a rate that's not blended with too much distraction. I'll still be posting fetish art, but more on my own terms because I want to. Have a great 2020 all!
