Well Finally got the problem tooth out, so not quite as bitey a predator anymore, feels strange, but the experience wasn't as traumatic as I had feared(Had a very bad one when I was a very young fellow)

Been trying to recapture my drive for a while, frustrations, loneliness, lack of self confidence haven't helped alot. Engagment isn't easy to get when Your best skills are at world building.
I'm still doing my best at learning when to give up on striking up conversations with those I'd like to get to know better. It's not something I'm naturally good at.

I might start to write "Vore" again rather than just plot and character stuff that I find more personally satisfing.

In any case, BLFC is coming soon so looking forward to that
Laters all
Talon, Gallows, Endeavor, and the rest.

I'll be attending BLFC in about a month, hope to see people there, haven't been to active online lately because of "Issues" I won't get to much into it but alot of them are dental related.

Always glad to be going to my home con, a bit more expensive on the hotels this year, but at least they come with a free breakfast...which might include some of you..omnomnom.. but anyhow, want to meet folks old and new again.. so whom else will be heading to Pittsburg in early July

Hope to meet and eat lots of new people, need to put on a few lion pounds for winter.

It's a strange void right now, loosing the head of the site..well.. how to put it into words


I've never been good with emotions, and death is one that I feel is stalking me with dread, I tend to emotionally shut down when dealing with it when outside my circle. But yeah, I knew things were bad, but you never expect people to die young(you know it happens, but..) and after going through so much pain too. Sad stories are just all to common.

All I can really say is despite all the shit and drama that has happened in the past, I had a positive view on Dragoneer from the start, showing of an interest in me so many years ago, sure nothing really in well over a decade, but still positive feelings..

For the living though, I do have some advice, Care, simple as that, people are people, no one is perfect, but through understanding and care we can all be better. Remember people in your life, try to show them you are there and care. Kindness is something everyone can do, and with the world out there, with the anger and hate it is needed so much more, While I don't know what kids today watch, I'll always remember the words of people such as Fred Rodgers, Don't let fear and anger rob you off your kindness.

Which of you sweet people should I expect to be seeing this year?

Birthday time again, getting older, hopefully will have a better year than the last

Urgghh.. the family car is having trouble starting, it's been a situation thats getting worse and worse, so took it to a mechanic, they say it looks like a computer issue, suggested taking it to a dealership to get it looked at, soonest we can get an appointment for that is december 4th..
Just can't ever get a break..as usual.

Emotionally I'm dealing with alot of stuff... not fun

Just sent my PC off for repair, since I paid for the premium warranty it is likely the best option, not SURE it was the PSU and they'd want me to send that to them anyway... let em check to make sure its not a mobo issue or the like, sure I'll have to reinstall everything, but I've got it all backed up, likley on this very old system for a few weeks though.. so no inking..

Well back to my old computer, the new machine has developed a serious situation of increasing rebooting, had checked heat, ram and so on all clear, looks like a PSU issue, had started only when playing high intensity games, now its down to mere idling... yeah. hooked up the old machine and it functions, far less powerful of course.

I'm in the process of doing an RMA for the PSU since it is still under warranty from the computer builder.

Was despondent when this started happening, now just kinda pissed..

It's going to be a massive update, but the last for a while, didn't plan to do the holiday hub idea this early, but it fit some replanted scenes I wanted, and also it is easy to expand.. Always looking for active brainstormers/testers as well


What to look forward too
Main things.. in current update

Unlocking alternate fun(Minimal aspects thus far)
Nasty Shovel-Disposal
X Button- Adult encounters, hump hump
Butt shaped Badge-Av encounters(Very limited)
Toy Locomotive-CV style Encounters/flavors

-can buy food, once a minute max, will adjust your stats, none of this is healthfood….well there is ONE health food stand.. but its a special course

-PLACEHOLDER get bum humped and suck off of Haji-Rorshack, both just copies from old lodge scenes to test it, commands SHOULD appear when you pick up the x button

Going to negative stats will now end your game with a scene


Arcade is open, if you forgot to make a buddy can make one randomly there as well(needed for the games)


Vore function installed, It will compare the stat of your choice vs the prey, plus a random factor, you win you eat, loose you get beat up and stats down a lot, or get eaten(NYI), MANY things can be eaten, currently will not show on your body, I’m still deciding how I want to do these thing from a technical standpoint. (Might even have in game character reforming for non generics..should you break something serious),
-I strongly sugjest purchasing the strange item from one of the vendors(Will cost one in every stat) before trying to eat things...Otherwise your severely handicapping yourself...


Starting stats cap at 30, this mainly limits your ability to eat preds/scenery. I plan on upping this at some point

I am sure there are other things as well

Venture City
3 Food stalls
Can get mounted on the dumpster after Closing it (1/3 chance, must have button of course),if human ate after, otherwise stuffed in dumpster, and eaten later

Looking at Temblor twice while he has 1 meal inside him gets you ate.

Igor bought his in progress Automaton to the lab, Tarnished Brass, the manhole entrance MIGHT get locked before released..the made scientists lab is very empty now…..

Can get your altered name revert by the alien vendor(And MunchNStuff will give you a new one if you talk again)
Vendor selling Venture stuff

Prehistoric Pandemonium
2 food stalls
AV ending for cutaway display added
Vendor selling MunchNstuff merch...careful bout your strength
Volcano Boats has a ending scene, half chance to fire

Rustic Retreat
MunchNStuff’s feast in Rustic
Log swing- one of the two “Preds” is functional, Purely Endo pred(Supporter scene), proper path will greatly boost luck with small loss to charm
three food stalls
Vendor selling Russle stuff

Other
second episode in the 9 lives lion series has been added(with a Cameo character)
Bday git for a purple mouse, Lewd stuff, no nom
CV flavor scenes in various places in the main zones, random chance to happen(roughly 1/5) and needs the Toy Locomotive

Games(Non interactive)
Wack-a-snack
Claw game

Holiday Hub, mostly empty, Halloween has a re-plant scene of a trapped cupcake, the memory of Dating Pouncer, and the emergence of Scorn from the graveyard.

Lodge replants- Things translated from my old game cause they were fun scenes not a ton got to see.
Most of the Auto-roo(Fnaf style attack) monster in the underground lab beneath Venture cities food court.

Secret Playhouse(not sure if this was in the first release, its mostly cameos from the lodge of those who meant something to me over the years, random results.)

Fourth wall encounters replicate with Fancy Figurine, player vore disposal scenes newly added to some

Arcade can be used to play the video games from the lodge as well(Also can make your buddy right there

Can go to the campground to hear stories of the dates of Temblor, Woodclose, Rorshack (WS not active) Haji, and Endeavor, Pouncers date will fire in the streets section of the Halloween hub.

Demon Posh brainsuck very slightly modified in the Halloween area
Trapped cupcake in Holloween area

Pouncer will start hunting you when you enter a place with him in it, each turn he’ll get closer. Its very easy to make friends with a kitty though…..as long as he’s eaten someone before you-as long as you’ve not turned off the off screen feeding he’ll snatch at least one person before the 5 min mark

Smartphone for teasing fun, can set up your friend's list before you start at the settings, or go with the default

Since the game code/logic is much better organized the online version should work as well as the desktop "Should" is key of course, I have updated the featured post as well with this link

https://textadventures.co.uk/games/.....uff-theme-park

My new text game is growing fast, soon I'll have a testing build I can post to the general world, have got enough I think for people to get a feel for it, there are only a few scenes thus far but lots of hints at what's to come, much smoother design overall and with vastly fewer bugs..(I am loath to say 0 of course) than the Lodge...

Enjoy the Theme park, you won't likely leave the way you can expect


Still looking for testers/brainstormers/people to run ideas off of, send me a note or reply to this

Decided to spread my presence around a bit more since Twitter is becoming less... less..

https://bsky.app/profile/talonsaurn.bsky.social

P.s. new text game is moving along with some speed actually, nice to have a fresh start

The setting will be a theme park, classic I know but my Main roo MunchNStuff(AKA Endeavor,Gobbles) will a big part....

I am going to open up a New Telegram chat for it, brainstorming, ideas, helping it grow. Seems the perfect time now that I'm retiring the lodge for a new start, contact me if your interested in helping/brainstorming/ect

Since there have been. "Issues" on twitter, figured I'd expand my places to lurk and be shy....

@Talonsaurn@gulp.cafe

It will be slow going of course, but trying to use what I've learned to make this more streamlined overall, thus far just one major encounter, big beefy skuntaur, both lewd and normal encounters... this design is using a player HP/MP/Soul gauge..

Want to meet (and maybe eat) you all..

Just marked another year around on the ol planet, body certainly feels it and have had a very stressful last half a year. but still kicking

Got some very bad news tonight. Apartment complex doesn't want to renew our lease. Have a few months to vacate.. very depressed about it... not sure what to do.. lost and terrified of being homeless again...

Quite bad news today, got a notice from the landlord threatening eviction because of hording(or unsanitary nature)damage the property
Said the violation was mid Nov, but we never got anything.. so massive cleanup this week to hopefully pass inspection on the last day of the month

beyond scared honestly, fire memories of homelessness

Hope to meet many buddies old and new there, If your attending make sure to get in touch with me so I can set Menu..er plan to mEAT ya.. er... meetch

Well back from the urgent care again for being a moron and not looking where I'm going, Face planted into a overhang of a building because i was looking down at my feet, I have done this pathway probably nearly a thousand times.. The initial hit left me looking a wreck, all red. Looked like someone right out of a disaster movie crash. I Cleaned myself up at the B&N locally and walked home...since the bleeding didn't stop changed clothing and ended up in the Urgent care to get it sealed...

Things are better know, but was beyond scary, and I admit fully I was being the idiot in not paying attention..

Should recover quite well...all things considered, Doc used liquid stitches as she called them that glued the wound together..

So looking forward to it, after the hellish travel of my trip to BLFC(Missed half of the con since i was stuck in Dallas from wensday to sat thanks to weather) returning to my "Home" con is going to be great, even if the hotel I got is a bit of a hike away, but i will be there earl..ish..thursday... I want to hug so many..meet so many friends old and new...

Still alive and kicking another year past the sun., been a trying time but still I try to find joy, purpose, and much more to eat..
