Back to Normal

Hello Everyone ^_^

So after a month and a bit of reduced content output due to the final push on my Master’s Thesis, things should hopefully be returning back to a more consistent rate of development. This has all been a long time in the workings, so I appreciate the patience you have all had with me during these occasional delays.

But … you’re interested in what’s coming up next!

So, my basic upcoming plans are to try to get back to a weekly (occasionally every two weeks) build output landing on Friday/Saturday so that you can all enjoy the new content over the weekend. I also need to work on getting things like the commission list up to day, and to work on the game wiki/website, which are all on my to-do list. Finally, I’m behind on showing you the art work I’ve received, so patrons should expect a big lump of it incoming over the next week or so.

My intentions for the next 3-4 builds are as follows;

  • Build 4.09 (Patreon): Snacks, Pets & Roommates – In this build I’ll be working towards three major goals. Firstly, I want to finish off the basics on the roommates system started in the Jess update, which to be honest is mostly finished. Next I want to get some progress on the Pet-Play trainer, as I have a lot of images for it. In particular I want to get basic Tier 2 tasks in place for the Pet-Play trainer. Finally, I aim to add in a vending machine that will offer various snacks to the player. These snacks will be useful when I finally get around to the optional hunger/thirst system, as well as impacting player weight, and offering some new TF opportunities. I’d also like to get the in-room waiting option done for this build.
  • Build 4.10 (Patreon): Clothing Overhaul – In this build my major aim will be correcting a collection of issues I currently have with the clothing system. This will include; updating the style system to include clothing and accessories (so jobs and NPC’s can be more reactive to player appearance), making butt plugs their own category rather than being underwear (so you can wear both), giving full stats to headwear/hair-accessories + neckwear + chastity + butt plugs, allowing players to store clothing they don’t want in the main lists (for easier sorting), and putting hair accessories into the wardrobe (and making them hair accessories & headwear). In this build I’ll also be aiming to add in the clothing images/options that I have saved up, mainly a collection of bimbo outfits and a collection of more normal outfits, both of which will be going in new stores.
  • Build 4.11 (Patreon): Piercings – In this build I’ll be adding in piercings. There will be a new piercings store for players to buy them from, as well as getting the piercings done, and I’ll be updating the style system to factor them in. Something else I want to do is work on some piercing based punishments (effectively permanent piercings). I’ll also be finishing off any unfinished clothing updates from the previous build in this one.
  • Build 4.12 (Patreon): Pregnancy – In this build I’ll be working on adding in the basics of the planned pregnancy system! Though, I don’t want to spoil this too much this early (plans can always change), there will be a complex system related to fertility/virility and pregnancy duration, complete with ways to modify these scores, much like with Lactation.

So, as you can see there’s a lot of work planned out. Of course, there are minor things that I’ll also be working on, including commissions and polled content, but these are the major additions I’m aiming towards. For example, there is still a lot of work to do on the chastity and orgasm code, and there will always be bug fixes to be done. I also want to get some new seasonal content ready for Halloween, so keep an eye out for that! 

Hope that has you all excited, and until next time, happy gaming ^_^

Potential Patreon Platform Problems

Hi everyone ^_^

I’m in the middle of writing the Weekly/Monthly Patreon update, however, there is some potentially troubling news I need to share with you all. If your’e in a rush, then skip to the end (I’ll put a line there) to see the summery and my plans to deal with it.

So …

Sadly, Patreon has recently lost a major legal battle that could see the business go bankrupt, which in turn is a major threat to the livelihood  of a lot of adult creators.

The details of the matter are somewhat complex, but I’ll do my best to  go into them without presenting any bias. Effectively, Patreon began  removing creators from the site who at the time had not breached the  terms of service (which in these instances were later altered to allow  the removal of these individuals). 

Recently a creator named Owen Benjamin was removed from the site, and him and his  followers explored their legal options against Patreon for doing so.  They discovered that they could request arbitration sessions in  California with Patreon under the terms of service. For each arbitration  case (and each patron of the ex-creator would be able to file  separately), Patreon must pay legal fees and up front $10k to the  arbitrator to be held during the proceedings.

Patreon attempted to legally battle this, and mid-way through the case  removed this arbitration clause from their terms of service. However, as  the legal case to shoot down the allowance for arbitration was already  in motion, and the grievance was before the change in terms of service,  the judge found against Patreon (and strongly so – Patreon did a serious  bad move by trying to change those terms mid legal case). Without going  too much into the law, as Patreon is only the middle man for matching  up these creators with their fans in payment contracts, this can be seen  as cases of tortious interference when Patreon (an outside business)  attempts to dissolve that contract. The law on tortious interference is  rather set in stone and well established.  

What this means is that Patreon will need to enter literally hundreds  (if not thousands) of arbitration instances against ex-patrons of  creators thrown off of the site. Each instance is rather costly, and  because Patreon needs to cover this up-front bond and the legal fees  will require a huge amount of usable capital. The problem is that  Patreon doesn’t really make that much money despite being considered  within the Silicon Valley bubble, and like most businesses most of its  capital is held in assets (like their building, stocks, etc). This could  conceivably see the end of Patreon due to bankrupcy, or it being bought  out by another major competitor such as Google or Facebook so they can  add a crowdfunding wing to their digital empires.

News Article (there are few good sources at the moment) -> https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/1596377657-court-rules-against-patreon-fan-funding-service-in-key-case-over-cancelled-comedian 

In short, Patreon has legal issues that might bankrupt the business, leaving the future of the site and monetization for creators as rather uncertain.

So what does this mean for this Patreon Account? Well, it’s possible that Patreon might suddenly be off the internet, or come under new management that removes adult creators. As such, I implore you all to keep track of my alternative web-presences, such as;  my personal website (here), the TFGames forums (here), the F95zone forum (here), and the Foxtalestimes forum (here). You can also find me on the alternative monetization platform, SubscribeStar at -> https://subscribestar.adult/jpmaggers-games.

If Patreon were to fall, either suddenly or slowly, my plan is to convert fully over to SubscribeStar for monetization, creating all of the current tiers over here on Patreon over there. For patrons who currently are on the commission level tiers, I would also attempt to personally contact you to offer you the chance to grab those new SubscribeStar commission tiers first (as it’s not your fault by any means if Patreon falls under). Until further notice though, I’m still more than happy to keep working here, these procedures/precautions are only a just-in-case matter.

Sorry for the wordy and sombre update, but thank you all for reading. Happy gaming ^_^

Quick Development Update (14/07/20)

Hey everyone ^_^

Seeing as you’ve all had a few days of quiet from me I just wanted to write a quick update on what I’ve been up to. For those who instead just want a quick run-down of when to expect the next build, then I suspect it’ll be out within the next 48 hours, as I’m just adding in some last minutes scenes.

As some of you probably already know, I’ve recently set up a SubscribeStar account to offer an alternative option for those who want to financially support the project. This extra security has been something I’ve long needed for peace of mind, though I’m taking it a little slower over there as I get used to the features. You can find my SubscribeStar creators account over at -> https://subscribestar.adult/jpmaggers-games

On a similar note, we also now have a website! It’s still very much an in-the-works project, with me putting some time into improving it when I get the chance, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming along. After I’ve got the main site finished (which I feel I’m close to) I’ll be also working on the Wiki part of it (that’s initially set up but empty), so something to look forward to there. If you’re interested in checking it out you can find it here -> https://www.jpmaggersgames.com.

In more detail on the game development side of things, I’ve been fixing and updating smaller things, adding in a few new scenes here or there. Some of the smaller changes include; a Clinic treatment to remove wings, a new option to disable images that feature the stand in player character (the blonde girl), some fixes to the Chess Man content, and more orgasm code hook-ups for the sex addiction content.

When it comes to more weighty additions, I’m happy to say that the Dragon Bride ending has now been added and it was a lot of fun to write. I’ve also had a very helpful fan (guyinrome) send me alternative hair colour swap images for the full options within the game, so I’ve set those up too (some of them look really cool – thanks guyinrome). I’ve also added in a sex scene with Felicity, a few dozen references to the characters height for small players, so many new images it’s unreal, and I am finishing up some scenes for various commissioned characters (though have been a little slow on this part).

So, all I have left to do is complete a few smaller scenes for various commissioned characters and I think I’ll be happy with the build at that point. That’ll leave me a good starting off point for the next build which will mainly be concentrating on adding in the Jess Quest, where I’ll be aiming to reset the builds to coming out on Friday/Saturday night (as it gives you all time to play over the weekend and it’s harder to miss the new builds).

Happy gaming everyone ^_^

P.S. Thank you for your patience over the delay on the monthly patron art polls, I hope to get them up after the new build.

P.P.S. As above, I also hope to get out the commission pledge tier messages out within a similar time frame.

Jpmaggers Games Now Has a Website!

Hello everyone ^_^

It’s great to see you all, both old and new fans of my projects. As likely most of you already know if you’ve found me here I develop the adult text-based HTML game ‘The Repurposing Center’, for those who don’t know of it I’ll include a quick description down below;

“The Repurposing Center” is an interactive erotic fiction about a dystopian not too distant future in which undesirables are carted off the streets by government capture vans so they can be repurposed into something more valuable to society. You find yourself in this very situation, trapped within the facility, being changed both physically and mentally to suit the whims of potential buyers who are your only way out. The game is a sandbox life simulator within “The Repurposing Center” where players will need to partake in work, training and socialization in order to secure themselves a happy ending when they finally place themselves up for auction.

Now over 3 years into development there’s still a long way to go, but as of now the game covers; numerous fetishes in varying states of content (with heavy customization for what you’ll encounter), numerous quests to search out, extensive character customization in both physical appearance and clothing/makeup systems, a huge cast of characters to interact with, and lots of fun erotica to keep you interested. If there’s something not there currently, it’s likely scheduled to be added or can be after you’ve suggested it to me 😉

Whilst I have some background in web design many of the things I’m doing here are rather new to me, so you might have to bear with me a little as I get used to managing this place. As some of you might have noticed I’ve also created my own Wiki for the game, that’s probably the next big goal for this site, getting that up and running so that you can all have a better idea about the more obscure content within the game.

Thank you all for accompanying me on another exciting journey regarding creating my own website, I hope that by having a central platform that is rather hard to remove will ensure that my work is more secured than ever ^_^
