Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US! If you're not in the US just have a generally happy day. :3

Take this time to be thankful for everything that didn't suck this year and, more importantly, make sure to stuff yourself silly. :)

Sorry for being quieter over the last couple of months. Times have been tough and I've been dealing with some medical problems. This have been looking up a bit more lately though so hopefully I'll be able to return to the normal posting schedule.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up:

If you see Kate (or any other of my characters) in use on Twitter, F-List, or any other chat or role playing sites that's not me. It's not something I've been asked about or approved.

Accounts that are actually me will usually have the flashing 10MB icon.

That being said there are a couple of approved Kate cameos in VolkenFox's The Pirate's Fate so check that out. :)

I have a ton of stuff to post though. I'll try to get more loaded when I have time.

I'm getting married next week. :) It's sort of throwing off my posting schedule... :3

 Vanishing.Act is doing one of those donation drive thingies. They do good art. :)

Check it out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20949851

So I'm gonna do that interactive story I mentioned in the last journal. The image and part one of the story are here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20784972/

I know it's not REALLY free art in the classic sense, but I wanted to make sure people read the journal. :3

The whole thing is gonna be second person (You kick the ball).

Check it out, hopefully there'll be some interesting story stuff coming out of it. :)

Right now I'm just going to be accepting next part choices though the comments, so if you want to see something just comment. Try to keep any actions to around a sentence, since longer stuff will be harder to integrate. We'll see how that goes, if there are issues I may try letting people vote or some other feedback option.

So, I got this picture recently: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20762525/ I haven't posted it yet.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing sort of a choose your own adventure story thingy starting with that pic? I'd probably solicit what happens next from the comments and just pick one I'd like, or maybe there could be a vote if people think that's more interesting.

I'll likely be doing this 2nd person so it'd be in the form of 'You accidentally jostle the lamp sending it crashing to the floor. Luckily it doesn't shatter. However, unexpectedly, it begins to vibrate.'

There MAY be followup pictures; I'd have to see where it goes. :)

Anyway, I wanted to see if there was a demand for something like that before I try to start anything. Comment below if interested. :)

Work is trying to kill me. I spent Friday starting work at 6pm and I didn't get off until 6pm on Saturday. :P

--game stuff--
There have been some minor tweaks to the game engine backend. Nothing too noticeable, but if you move around the rooms a lot you'll see some text pop up about hunger increasing. :3

It's still very alpha, but if anyone hasn't seen it yet it's here:
http://www.powercpu.net/bigger/index.php?reboot

I've got two main issues right now:
1. Inventory management. I don't really want to AJAX it up too much, but I'm not sure there's a better way around it from an HTML perspective. I'm sill debating this, since I'm not quite sure how adventure gamey I want it to be. :)

2. Hardcoded vs scene-specific vs shared scene change descriptions. I'm leaning towards shared right now, but I need to finish up coding it.

Hardcoded events are coded directly into the engine. That makes it simple, but every room would have the same flavor text for gaining/losing weight unless I randomize it.
Scene specific means the text is bound to the 'room', but that's a pain because it needs to be added to EVERY room entry.
Shared still needs to be added to every room entry, but instead of dumping the whole config in there you'd just end up with something like 'use wg scene 1'.

--writing stuff--
'The wave of the future' is still stalled. I have part two probably around 90% completed, I just need to find the time to finish it up and polish.

Check it out here:

Seriously one of the best games I've played in awhile.

 Ethriol is doing a YCH auction and they still need to fill two more slots.


Chelsea will be in it. :)


If you have a female/feminine canine or feline character check out:

So... since  noone's game is officially 'done' I thought I'd throw together something a little similar. I'm trying to keep it more story and puzzle driven instead of combat based (think Zork).

I've got an alpha version running here at the moment:
http://www.powercpu.net/bigger/index.php?reboot

Right now it's really just the engine core and some test rooms. Trap tests are to the west and south of the starting position. Please excuse the ugly UI, I've done that mainly to help debug element placement.

Would anyone be interested in me finishing this up?

More importantly, would anyone be willing to help with text? :3
I'm at a bit of a loss as to where I'd like the story part of this to go.

 Chaotikat is doing a Thanksgiving group pic. Prices and slots are here:

Give it a look. :)

Just really, really busy... and definitely not playing video games... :3

Working on a possible story segment for a new series of pics, stay tuned. :)

Borrowed from  muzz. :3

1. Why do you like fat/inflation?
It's hard to say... I've been a fan of 'larger' women ever since hitting puberty. I lived in a high altitude resort town growing up, so there weren't that many people over chunky. I had actually thought I wasn't attracted to anybody until we got an internet connection. I stumbled upon FurryMUCK upon going though a 'Games you can play on the internet' book. Shortly after while hitting all the art sites of that era (mainly VCL) I found first some inflation art, which was amazing, and then found some fat fur art, which was astounding. I actually found 'furry' porn before 'normal' porn, if you can believe that. :3

2. Which is better? Fat or Inflation? And why?
I'm a bigger (heh) fan of fat than inflation, but both are interesting to me. I think I like fat more because it's more squishy then squeaky. Ultimately though, if it causes big bellies I'm gonna like it in either case. :3

3. Would you consider your liking sexual or not?
Duh. The fact that I didn't even pick up on it until puberty suggests it's sexually based.

4. Fat/Inflated guys or girls?
Both, really. I prefer girls for large part, but a good looking belly on anybody is nice. :3

5. Do you like inflation furs who are latex or rubber instead of fur?
No preference really, it really depends on how well the artist draws the picture.

6.Would your character prefer fat or inflation?
Judging by all the WG Tach pics, fat. :3

7.Opinion on slob furs.
Not a huge fan... I can understand getting a little messy if you're doing some sort of pig out, but the farting and super dirty stuff is a massive turnoff.

8. Opinion on vore.
Mixed feelings. If it leads to a chunky belly, I can kind of 'allow' it some of the time... I don't like it when sentient beings are consumed, if it's a non-sentient goldfish or something I can live with it. I lump some vore into the horror/gore category, which is also a massive turnoff.

9. Best type of fur to fatten or inflate?
All the furs. :3

10. Do you like it when the inflated fur pops or the fat fur explodes?
Good god no. For similar feelings to the vore pic... I don't like it when people die. oO I know some furs 'reform' after a popping/vore event, but it feels like a bit of cheat to me. I still don't like it, even in that case.

11. Blueberry inflation?
As long as there's no popping, sure, why not?

12. What is one thing you don't like about fat/inflation?
Some people like to draw spheres or giant piles of fat, which I don't find very appealing. A loss of mobility is generally where my upper limit kicks in (unless they're floating, which is totally different).

13. Who is the best inflation/fat artist?
I don't keep a list of favorites. I will say that some of the first people I ever commissioned were muzz and squeakie so you can blame them a little for some of my stuff. :3

14. If their fursona was real, who would you most likely force feed/inflate and huggle? (not your character)
I'll answer this question after this happens. ;)

15. Do you like fat/inflation of characters from tv shows or video games?
If it's well done, yeah. There isn't all that much of it though...

16. Do your non fat fur or non inflation friends mind that you're into that stuff? Or even that you're a furry?
They have no idea, I don't talk about it with non-furries I know in person.

17. Does your family know that you're into fat/inflation or that you're a furry?
They had enough problems when I told them I liked larger ladies, I don't even want to think about the clusterfuck that would happen if we got into the furry stuff.

18. Do they approve of it?
See 17.

19. Do you think it's fair to call it a "fat fetish" or "inflation fetish"?
Isn't that what it is? oO

20. Would you like a cookie?
No thanks, I have a large bag of candy. :3

Just a note so I don't lose track of anything. Major works in progress:
1. Kate/Chelsea comic, final comic chapter: In queue, no ETA
2. Tach magic burger story sequence: Pending final written segment, no ETA.
3. Chelsea/Lori character relationship introduction single pic: In progress, waiting for art.
4. Lori tries to cheer Chelsea up (Kate related) sequence: In progress, waiting for art.

All 'Tach' pics (excluding bunny week) are on hold pending 2. All 'Chelsea' pics are on hold pending 3 and 4. All 'Kate' pics are on hold pending the completion of Bunny Week.

I've never done one of these before, so I figured I'd give it a shot. :3

This is currently being done on Twitter as well as here, so if you'd like to ask a question ask me at either. Username is TwTach.

Antarctic Press has released all 200 issues of Gold Digger nicely PDFed at their library site, here: http://www.antarcticpresslibrary.co.....ve_page08.html

I don't read a whole lot of comics, but Gold Digger has been consistently interesting and funny since I started reading it around issue 60. Not a ton of pudge granted, but I think the busty were-cheetahs make up for it. :3

Also, the series didn't go to full color until issue 51. You'll see the numbers on the comics restart at 1 once you hit that issue. It's a little confusing, but there's more info here: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gold_Digger

Happy new year everybody! May your year be excellent and free of drama. :D

I'm not sure where we're going, but if it's anything like our story so far it should be one interesting ride.



^ This video is amazing, if you can't see it view the full journal or just click the link. :3

So, I've been playing FTL a bit lately (I'm in on the beta) and it's a lot of fun. They describe it as a "spaceship simulation roguelike-like." Since it's a roguelike(-like), it means that it's possible to die suddenly and unexpectedly without much warning, so if you anger easily it may not be the game for you. Also, there's no saving at all at the moment.

Closed beta first look:


So... I have an extra beta/retail key. If anyone wants it let me know. :D You will need Steam to play.

I don't really have a good con report to give, as I wasn't taking notes and the whole con is a blur. :3

I did have a lot of fun though, and got to hang out with a bunch of cool people. :D
Expect a commission flood shortly, as soon as I finish scanning everything.

Please give  xhushx a watch too, she does cute art. :)
