I was working on Alley Food. And while that was certainly received positively, after a while I just couldn't continue. Not because I couldn't per say, but because I just... couldn't go beyond what was there. I had this passion to make it bigger and grander and... well I couldn't get it together. And then I lost the motivation with it. So as it stands, Alley Food is going to go incomplete for now as part of my worries. Perhaps one day I'll feel more inclined. Stronger about it. Able to keep things within limits. But I will say it won't be just a simple twine if it happens again. I'm not happy with how basic that program can be. It's good, yes, but something more would be fun right? ;p

Anyway, instead I worked on some other things that you might see. I've done some art and writing for a friend's ongoing project site. That'll go public someday in the future probably. But don't expect that soon. Instead, I've just recently uploaded Metamorphodice Online v2 for anyone looking for an in-depth TF RNG thing. I've had fun RPing with it. Lastly, I've been working on an image CYOA. You know, those things where you have a bunch of options and pick through them to create a character & scenario? Yah, I'm working on one of those. I call it a CYOTF since you are really choosing a TF. Everything but the images is basically done... but it'll still be a while to get the images sorted out. Cough, cough there's a lot of options and I need like 250+ images cough, cough.

Anyway, that's enough from this pulp filled person. Maybe I'll see you in a week or 2 with that CYOTF. Until next time!

Hey. It's just me, the pulp. Listen up patient ones. I've got bad news and bad news.

The first bad news is that the next version of Alley Food is gonna be a whole reevaluation of what's been put in so far. Redoing parts, adding new bits. It's actually going to be a lot... I think you'll be impressed and appreciate the changes. ... BUT for that it's gonna take a while. It'll also mean that some content will actually be removed from what's been put in so far so that it doesn't feel out of place.

Quality over Quantity. Hope you will appreciate it when it comes out. When will it come out? That's the other bad news. I've been unproductive as of late. In all honesty, my process with these uploads is that I do a bunch of work in a few days then drop off for weeks not working on the next version. I'm quite bad, I know...

Why do I drop off on working on it? Personal issues, work, trying to figure out things, friends & distractions, numerous reasons really and some are just... dumb excuses.

But yah, that's my update. Just in case anyone was wondering where I was. I'll try to get on it soon. Might upload something else here and there too.


...
OH! and uhh... I've been considering better names for Alley Food. It's always been... quite on the nose. Could be better. Leave your suggestions in the comments if you've got a good idea for it.

ONE! v0.6b!
I updated Alley Food. It adds in a bit of content that was planned before I left on my mini vacation.
I worked with Moo to try and resolve the updating version issues. It should be resolved for the most part (the cache now empties more often) but there still might be hiccups. Thanks for some people reaching out to me about the issue.
Due to the new content, there's now over 40k words! Woo~

TWO! Thanks!
THANK YOU! Wowee... there's a lot of favs and views. It's the quickest one of my stuff has ever gotten. That's... real nice! I'll admit that v0.6 isn't the best or most content rich update so I am surprised by the traction it is receiving. Not to mention my other story, Dragon's Sword, got nice views and favs as well. Perhaps I'm most happy about the watch count. Over 50, that's great. Bleh... it's a nice feeling. So thanks for all of you for making it a good goings.

THREE! Extra Tidbits!
If you check my userpage, I've added more info about me... even if some of it is vague. Thought it might help if people want to interact with me more. Wouldn't mind getting more involved in the community a bit or some of the more interested viewers around here.
Next version of Alley Food will come when it happens, hopefully the good traction might help me get motivated to working on it but I have other things to do IRL.
I might post another story or two as well, akin to Dragon's sword... but of course the kinks will be different. Will see.
Hope you like my little doodle! Is cute! I can do nice art if I try. Do wish I could focus and learn more on how to do better art. I need time to train myself and... probably the right person to train me. ... and maybe a writing pad.

Again, thanks! With love, Pulpy~

So, since Castle of Desire finished up, I've been back onto Alley Food.

So far, I am about 2 paths away from finishing the new content. That only leaves some edits, some clean up, the small stuff.
I really want this out on Friday. I am going away on vacation on Saturday and I want some more content out before then.
Admittedly, I'd like to have more in Alley Food v0.6a when it releases but... eh? I'm not getting paid to keep it up. I do it on my own time... though if you wanna donate you could on my Kofi~. Any bit helps with my self esteem. Doesn't matter though, I'll still be posting smut either way ;p

Speaking of which! I've got a new story coming up. No... no it isn't 100 pages long. It's smaller in scope. I will try to get it out ALSO before Saturday. It is mostly finished but I need to edit it based on suggestions. It might not have a flattering thumbnail when it is posted. I plan to have an alternative version as well, though that'd be after my vacation if anything.

As for the future's future. After vacation it'll be back to me attempting to make Alley Food v0.7 which will hopefully refresh everything you know and love about it. I say 'attempt' as I'm pretty bad with maintaining focus. Either way, I've got another story in my head and an idea or two floating around. Things will be done when they are done however, I've got an IRL job with inconsistent hours and finding it hard to get passionate about things. So... yah... bleh.

Anyway, cya around!

Hey ho!

Castle of Desire is rapping up real soon. The last posts will be this weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

On Friday, you'll get the lore dump where everything is revealed!
On Saturday, you'll get something spicy so be horny for it!
The story ends on Saturday, it'll be a 3 post day! Wowee!

And on Sunday, you'll get the whole RP in one massive PDF with bonuses and behind the scenes details as well as any polish to all the uploads and such.

However if you want to experience the end when it comes out, you'll have tonight and tomorrow to catch up on the endeavors of Jesse. I just uploaded the Chapter 5 PDF for your enjoyment.
Either way, the plot is wrapping up soon. I've got no more near daily content to share afterwards. Expect an Alley Food upload later this month! More details will be on the way soon!

With Love (and Pulp)
- Just the Pulp

Hiya, it's me doing a small update on things.

I hope everyone out there has been enjoying the near daily uploads of Castle of Desire.
Near daily as there's been a day or two there hasn't been an upload. Today won't be one either.
Instead, I fixed up the posts so far. Some had bad links. Others had faulty thumbnails. Titles have been improved. Links to full chapters in the sections. Sections have been moved to scraps as all the full chapters have been put out. Each full chapter has a summary of previous events and a preview of what to expect.

As such, you can now download the full chapters of 2, 3, and 4. They are a perfect way to get caught up as we enter the last portion of the story. All will be revealed... soon. Not that soon though. Give it another week and the story should all be over.

As for updates on Alley Food, writing slowed down for a bit there. Haven't done much to it in the past month. Only recently did I start picking up on writing it again. I am going to start scheduling when I work on writing and content for FA so hopefully I can maintain consistency better. A bit of a serious note: I lack patience when it comes to these things. My mind wants to do so many things that it's hard to concentrate and focus on something. It helps to be encouraged but... I suppose encouragement will come with time.

So yesterday I posted Castle of Desire Chapter 0 and 1.
It was ready a long while back but I wasn't too sure of how and when to upload it.

  The_TaCoMuncher suggested that it be uploaded in parts. One a day.
And you know, that made a lot of sense. When me and Taco did the RP, it almost took a week before parts and it will recreate a feeling of showing up to a RP session like it was executed. It'll create suspense. It's fun and all.

The way I'll be uploading is as follows:
- Generally around 10 EST earlier/later a section a day will be posted.
- There are some occasions where the section is too short. In that case, I will not post that section and the following day will be a double section post. In it's place, I have filler content.
- When a chapter finishes, I will post a full chapter PDF the following day in my scraps which will be linked and in the Introduction post.
- The Introduction post operates as a sort of hub for you to click to various chapters from. It will be updated as each section / chapter goes up.
- It should take ~20 days from now to post the whole story. Afterwards, a Complete Edition PDF with bonus materials and such will be uploaded. It is 100 pages so... it is best you read through it naturally.

So overall, it should take around a month. I hope that this holds over anyone waiting for the next version of Alley Food.
I'm working on it and if all goes well I might have something ready either in the middle of or after Castle of Desire is uploaded.

Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Alright. Here's the lowdown scoop on what to expect in future installments.

Road Map:
- v0.6 Farmers Market: This will add the last main food stall to the adventure. It is the Farmers Market. It is already planned out at this stage.
- v0.7 Branch Expansion: I plan to add more branches to prior paths. This includes expanding upon soul swap food, the character in the back of the bakery, some other bonus stuff. It should refresh some of the past so you can enjoy the revisit.
- v0.8 Path Expansion: Full on new paths. Cake and chocolate in the bakery. New servers in the cafe. New dishes for the spicy restaurant.
- v0.9 and v1.0 Overall Expansion and Finalization: Adding the last of the additions, branches, easter eggs, clean up, ect to the adventure.
- v1.1+ Clean-up and Bonus: Unlikely to be more significant content but further updates may come just to clean up mistakes, add little easter eggs, bonus material.

Expected Questions and Answers:
1a.) What can we expect from each update?
Kink wise, I want to offer more M/M, F/F, non-furry, and Weight Gain (WG) into the adventure. Maybe a bit more vore too? You may not like it but you don't have to play those segments if you don't want to. There is already some M/M planned.

1b.) Why those kinks?
This is a food eating adventure where the only real WG is from body swapping. I'm sure there's plenty of people who view this and think they are getting WG and find out that there's only half a scene. For that reason, I think it would be good to have a vore scene in the food focused adventure. Non-furry and homosexual scenes are more so to round out events. I feel there is too much straight furry things in here.

2.) Expected time frame?
Hehe~ no. Not this time. Screw that. I will be working on it on and off as much as I can. Right now, I've got a job IRL and things to keep me busy. That being said, I am working on it and progressing a bit every night. Slow progress is better then no progress. v0.6 might be too big at present btw.

3.) Why stop there? There's so much potential and so much to do!
Nu. This was supposed to be a small project. It originally should have been completed... well... around this time. I am only like halfway maybe. As such, it has a barebones base. I don't keep track of player variables really. I don't have any special features. I'm also not getting paid for any of this at present. Really, there's a consideration to remake this adventure with a better base but I want to get this done.

Your encouragement and support can help me make strives to do more though.

4.) Are you doing anything else?
Yeah. I've got a RP that I did with a friend that I'm going to post in parts to FA. Probably a daily thing with each section being posted. I also made some other stuff that I'll be submitting here and I kinda want to get into 3D modeling? But that's all for another day.

Until next time! Cya!

Hey everyone who is waiting for the next Alley Food update.

I've got an announcement for yah.

Next version maybe kinda should be ready soon™

Woo~ yah~ wowie~

...

But really, I've actually decided to do steady progress when I can. At least one thing every day or so (which is better then nothing for weeks at least). At this point, I am done about 60% or so of the content for it. I can confirm that the new main route, the cafe, will be the main attraction. This update features mostly sex scenes with 5 sex scenes, ~2 transformations, and 1 vore scene. Most of that is in the cafe but I finished the Sweets->Sour Leech->Stand Around path and added a few flavorful things here and there.

I want it out either Friday night or over the weekend if possible so stay tuned!

I've updated Alley Food to 0.4c
There is not a lot to this update. It was mostly done as a small thing since a friend, Moo, offered their site to host Alley Food.
So big thanks to them. I added a few bits otherwise for people to enjoy.

As for where I've been, I've been a bit depressed and down. Things are complicated and I sort of lack motivation to push forwards with writing. Perhaps it will come to pass... but right now I'm uncertain when I will hunker down and start writing again.

Till next time
-Pulp

Alley Food has had a very, very minor update... you'll have to find this small additional content somewhere.
You can play it just by going to v0.4 link, it'll take you to the updated site. HOWEVER if cookies are saved, you will need to refresh them with cntr+F5 or however you want.

So, here's your hint... well actually I'm giving away the answer but YOU deserve it for coming by and seeing my journal.
*AHEM*
"You should say no to drugs and strange offers to mystical alley ways more."

Alright, that's all... enjoy!
Easter Update might come out on Monday and not on Sunday. Will try my best.

And I've brought a gift with me.
If you haven't seen, Metamorphodice is a little dice game you can play with your transformation buddies. It is up on my gallery. Hope you like it.

Tune in on the weekend for the next version of alley food. I've shifted plans around.
There's a completely new initial branch and I'm adding two more options to previous paths.
Honestly... nothing major. Do not expect 2 months of work to be put into it. It is more like... 1/2 to 3/4s of a weeks worth.
Also you shouldn't have to download the next version. It'll be playable online!
As such, I might remove the links to the past versions. I may archive them somehow later but for now, they'll be deactivated soon.

Thanks~

Well I was going to post this closer to New Years but things popped up (and will pop up again later in this post).
When I saw that there were a 1000+ views on Alley Food v0.3 though I got really amped.
So thanks to you guys who made that possible even if a majority of viewers won't see this.
And thanks to you 15 watchers who are waiting patiently (or impatiently) for v0.4 and whatever else I have planned.

In fact... you'll probably have to be really patient.
Unfortunately.... due to those things that popped up I am putting development of v0.4 on hiatus...
Yes, I know. Another CYOA delayed, next it's going to be canceled... wow. How cliché. Yah... it sucks.
Listen, I plan to get back on track with it within this month, hopefully get it up sometime next month if things go... fine.

What things? Well for one I could use one of those j o r b s. I'm on the look out for a job, sending out resumes. All that jazz. My profession isn't writing related strangely enough... anyway, going to see if I can fish something.

Oh, since I'm listing off things I want to do *AHEM*:
- Maybe after 0.5 comes out... lets hope. I'm wanting to actually publish short stories. They will likely be modified from my RPs I've done in the past with a friend (and with their permission, don't worry)
- Alley Food will likely be done by the end of this year... I want it done within half the year but if it isn't done by then than I'll probably never actually finish it and I am sorry to you future person who read my Journals to find out if I stopped developing it.
- I'd like to draw more but... I guess I'd really like to draw better. Would be nice to go along with some of my writing.

- I'd like to get more well acquainted with people? I'd like to be more part of a community. Furry or non-furry. Like to experiment a little more maybe. Dunno. Maybe someone reading this can leave a note or offer some advice? Well whatever

- Speaking of leaving a comment, my last thing I am figuring out for the future, monetization. Ooo~ spicy. No, it'll be all free. No Patreon yet or anything... I was just considering at least putting a donation link somewhere or opening up shinies for people who want to tip me. Could be encouraging for me to keep on writing and writing more... But meh. I'd like to get to v0.5 before that happens. I'd also like to know if any of you think that is fine or not.

*Shrug* Anyway, that's enough for this post. See you in maybe 2 weeks or so, possibly with another update.
Thanks for reading!

Before hand, I wanted to say thanks to the like... 11 people watching me. (10+ Watcher hype! Woos unenthused)
Hehe, but really, thanks. I expected really at best, like 50 people to view version 0.1 and in about 2 or 3 days it was at 150 views. After a month, v0.1 was at 600 views and 9 favs. In 5 days, v0.2 is at 587 views and 10 favs. So... pretty good. Doubled my watchers even. So thanks. Actually if I was smart I'd wait to post v0.3 until v0.2 loses traction but screw it. Version 0.3 is coming soon. Besides I want to post something good to start off next year anyway.

So I'm hard at work for the next version of Alley Food. It'll be the update that 0.2 should have been. It should release with a finished or near finished Sweets route.
I was hoping to get it out by New Years eve or day buttt~ at the speed I'm going it'd be short of what I want to add by then. So expected release will likely be this weekend on the 2nd or 3rd.
If I move faster somehow, it might still be up on New Years Eve/Day but if not... I might have something else small (more like tiny) planned to make up for it.
Either way, I'll upload v0.3 between 7pm - 9pm EST on one of those days.

Here's your 'little' teaser. It'll be part of the expanded and hopefully complete sour branches. You can probably guess whose taking:
"You're going to help me little one." Sounding overtly motherly.
"My breasts are achin'. Store doesn't need anymore cream and I have excess. You want to grow up nice and big don't cha?"

Yes, that's all you'll be getting! But I will provide some (not all) of the new tags in v0.3: inanimate transformation, wolf tf, Vore, and absorption.
That's all I'll say but you don't have to wait long to experience it.

Anyway, I tried to make this sound both as cool and as sales pitchy as I could but... it is just another tf CYOA after all. So no biggie really if you miss out on release or what not.
Expect one more Journal post around New Years as well. Hope you guys had a happy holiday and good New Years.
-JustThePulp

P.S. sorry about the small mess up with v0.2, again I kinda rushed it so a mistake or two or a few or a lot is bound to happen. Not that major though, it leads into an underdeveloped route but I wrote a funny for it. Download v0.2.1 if you want that fixed but I'd recommend just waiting till v0.3 for new content.
