Updated the font to make it easier to read (slightly)
Some graphical changes.
Mute / Unmute audio button.
Added Sound and Music capability.
Bug fixes.

Requires Java 6 (1.6) or later, all files and folders in zip must be in same root directory (extracted together). Not bullet proof could crash if misused.

This a WIP.

NOTE: You have to have atleast java 6 on your system, that is a JRE or SE Binary, as well as a program to open ZIP format. You have to have Windows or OS X, some Linux versions work too.

I will just leave this here to see if people figure it out.

This a WIP and a concept but if it makes sense to people ill keep updating it.

There is no proper tutorial or instructions or anything but I suspect people can figure it out by tearing apart the files in the Resources folder. Requires Java 6 or later, all files and folders in zip must be in same root directory (extracted together). Not bullet proof could crash if misused.

Branch Files are not going to be used, all the functionality will exist as special label commands in the Narrative Files, this will include displaying images or playing sounds.

Got most of it working over the last 8 hours in stream.

Narrative Files work with character name recognition, Branch conditional works, Character Files work with attributes, text box colour, image icons.

Moving onto features and maybe if I have time ill write an example story so people have a template to work with.

I am aware there are many writers in the fandom. As such I have at some times thought of designing a interactive program for people to use who enjoy writing or producing written works. It would be something very different to what people have used before as far as I am aware. I am not that familiar with what exists out there currently so I would like to know if what I am presenting here is of any use in creating. I would not take terribly long to program it (I could be finished before I leave next week).

The idea is this.

It would be a Standalone piece of software which comes with interactive "story packs". The story packs are designed in such a way as to allow for multiple paths or choices to be included in their design. It is a similar idea to "Choose Your Own Adventure" style books. There will be a way for people to easily put together these stories and combine the resources (images, sound, text, characters etc) into something which can be shared with anyone else willing to download the software too.

The basic system is this, you have the following resources included:

Character Files.
Choice Files.
Narrative Files.
Audio Files.
Image Files.

How you would use these resources:

Create Character Files, in these files you define their text box attributes (text colour or text box settings, character name, maybe even emotional states, description of the character, and other information and traits).

You reference Character's (automatically uses their files and information) in your Narrative and Choice Files. You can in both those files update Character Files perhaps...

Choice Files usually consist of branching points where the user interacts by picking what happens in the story. They can play audio files and show images.

Narrative Files can also play audio or show images like Choice Files only the interaction is limited to hitting (NEXT) after reading each part. They generally contain the bulk of the text of the story and Character interactions.

Choice Files lead to Narrative Files which lead to Choice Files and eventually end with Narrative Files or maybe even loop back to other files if so desired. This including resources like Images or Sounds could be a nice interactive experience.

What do you think?

I have a sudden urge... To setup a big fat juicy pay wall. Oh gosh the thought of that shiny hard thick exclusionary virtual barrier of rejection. MMMmm so moist oh god yes, monetary gains oh mmmM MMMM Shove it down my throat YES YES *spreads maw*. Oh Pa..Patreon baby AH AHHha <3 <3 < 3

*vomits over you*

Weird I woke up this morning with trigger finger in my right hand but its gone now. I need to stop carrying buckets of steel balls with three fingers D:

PS: I'm back for a bit.
PS: I am disappointed not much new good porn >:U SHAME jk ill have to draw some... if I still can draw idk.

3 Weeks of night shift with skeleton crew ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc

I was rather hungry and decided that I could really go for some McD's. I put on some appropriate clothing and threw a hoody on over top because it was cold out, then proceeded to walk to McD's which was only 5 mins away. On arrival I immediately ordered various menu items, paid for them and waited patiently in the corner for my delicious meal to be prepared. I heard the cashier speak out an order and look my way, so I strolled over to grab his sac. Suddenly from the supply closet McD himself exploded out wearing nothing but a transparent thong which packed his long coiled McD and golden nuggets tightly. McD grabbed me from behind, I quickly took off my hoody exposing my fit healthy body and pulled down my pants and dropped myself onto the order desk. The cashier shoved his huge double sized McD down my throat as the Big McD himself tore off my G-string and rammed his McD into my behind. McD began to thrust more rapidly yelling out "Is it for here or to go?". I was panting and nearly out of breath but replied "to go". He pulled out his McD and spurted ketchup all over my back.

PS: I am going to get something to eat now, ~ guess where?

Back from work for a bit!

A few people wanted all my gallery turned into a single download. So I have taken content from 3 sites and some of my folders and made a torrent.

Download here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u.....allery.torrent

Back to work! Will be back in March if all goes well. I realize this periodic long stretches are effecting Foam's development - not to worry we haven't given up, still developing when we find time.

Will have limited phone and internet access as well as time to use those things so basically wont be on here for that whole time. That is I cannot respond to notes, shouts, comments, etc.

See you guys after or around March 4 to March 11

...and by that I mean probably watch my youtube subscriptions, eat snack food, and play games. I am afraid to try drawing anything, tend to go backwards very quick when you stop for a long time.

also hello everyone hope you are all doing well!

I think ill be gone several weeks at a time and wont be able to get on here, this includes Skype most of the time too. Friend got me a mining job but its in a camp up north.

Game projects like Foam will also be suspended until further notice... sorry.

Just curious might wanna try meeting a real life one or a real life human /lol. I wonder if any of my watchers are from there? I mean its a big city so I expect some exist?

but out of like 20 places to rent the top picks were taken when I asked and the rest haven't gotten back to me. I'll probably stay in a hotel for a week. Which means ill be bored and on the internet.

This might be the end of all things here.

I hope not, but if I don't post for a long time it's because I'm struggling to transition to a new place in another time.

If it doesn't happen this way then its business as usual and ignore this.

It pains me to leave watchers, people out there, behind because of life.

Plenty of artists in the sea to cover for me and produce content to satisfy the peoples tastes in all things lude or strange.

It would feel most sad to go since it feels like I've just begun... that I have potential to be great but left before crossing the threshold.

Don't miss me, and don't worry too much about anticipated projects started because they will burden me enough to finish them that includes Foam.

yours truly, Spirit_Dragon

There's a link.

Good day.

Little Baby's Ice Cream.

Consume it with much enthusiasm! Lick is love, lick is life.

Was out star gazing for early-b-day, I saw a star, a whole one!

Good artists are actually Aliens.

Aliens from outer space.

Little green terrestrial bipedal reptiles.

1) that explains their super human abillities to draw porn.
2) there's so much evidence I mean like look up illuminati and youtube videos of sideways blinking politicians and stuff
3) they exist throughout history in myths and legends and are written about and drawn or depicted in stone carvings.
4) why do we make so many alien movies?
5) I mean even will ferrell in land of the lost those things seem familiar right?
6) in video games ... Argonians? elder scrolls? see what im getting at here?
7) the new world order speaks of them in secret according to leaked information its even run by them
8) why did the dinosaurs die off? or did they? Raptors were smart ands tuff just imagine how evolved they would be today! since like evolution just makes things faster stronger and smarter, true fact learnd from creationist textbook! even god agrees

I also believe they have infiltrated the government and own / control all major sectors of industry and corporations and stuff.

By drawing anthropomorphic creatures that resemble themselves in sexy poses they slowly exploit our human impulses for sex, everyday we grow more accustomed to the look of these creatures as we fall victim to our own nature.

When enough of us are use to them they will then take full control and enslave us all.

It all makes perfect sense now!

ALIENS!

My GF out of the blue who isn't really furry or anything wants a duck character. Tossed some ideas around and I sorta offered to draw her cause I want to but it wont be very adult tho. Likely to be like an astrophysics themed duck girl whos somewhere between anthro and feral. I don't think I can let her down on doing something like this so I'm probably going to invest considerable effort into the picture.

PS: This heat is making it hard to even.. ARG
PS: its too hot
PS: no AC cause Canada

I think the high temperatures here are making me unable to draw, sleep, or do anything productive.

So ill just be playing video games with ice packs in my underwear. Sorry for the lack of content I really do want to draw sum stuff...

I am curious about the demographics of watcher desires.

I will likely compile the results if there are enough into a pretty graph.

I have often built backgrounds and used textures in my 2D digital drawings that are sourced from pictures of real life scenery. I sometimes feel using material like this was cheating and made the "value" of my works less than that of traditional and digital artists who hand draw backgrounds and textures. My ability to draw traditionally, texture, shade, and light manually may have suffered as a result of relying on the tools of modern software too much. But I finally reached the point where the "value" feeling I had about using these tools is nolonger a reason to avoid them. To be blunt I'm a slow drawer with a poor grasp of anatomy and "correct" technique, to advance further would take considerable dedication, effort, and time. I have too many hobbies, work, and school to deal with that I just don't have the motivation or time to advance.

I started using Sculptris to make 3D models, and I have downloaded Blender, I am now hooked! 3D modelling things helps me work on anatomy and fine tune things in accordance with my OCD tendencies without needing to stress over drawing. It also fills my craving for interesting poses by providing the ability to change camera angles. Normally I couldn't do this so easily.

Since many of you have grown use to my stubborn and weird ways of drawing I propose for the better that I use yet another tool. I want to combine my drawing by hand, texturing by pictures, and now additionally posing by sculpting/ modeling. This might even let me animate better too~ who knows. How I make my works will change a bit if I add this in but hopefully it will be transparent to my audience, all you should expect is that somehow this will make the final products more appealing/better.

I will likely divulge details on how I would combine all 3 things. This wont stop me drawing or sketching as I sometimes do, it will just mean finished drawings will likely involve 3D as a tool to correct perspective, anatomy, lighting and speed up / reduce the time spent drawing to make the same final result.
