May 2025 Dev Diary

Hewwo!

It's crazy to think that about a year ago, I had a similar impulse to drop a development diary here. These past few weeks, I’ve been struggling on how best to articulate my thoughts and feelings regarding the next project. Historically, I have the most confidence in stories where I can dive into my mind’s theatre and “exist” in the space of my characters, watching things play out naturally with a few improv prompts. Since March, it feels like something in me broke, whether it had been from all the trials and tribulations before, or other factors – I’m not sure how to get back into my hyper focused state of mind, let alone figure out what direction to go with the next project.

Elevator Pitch

The only thing I can really do now is to take a leap of faith, and maybe run the general gist of things here on my Patreon to get a bit of reality check. I haven’t finalized any specifics just yet, but you can refer to the quick scribble below to get a sense of things for the next Meatier Showers comic:

In a nutshell, Pridestar would pretend to be Snares' personal trainer for a day. Of course, he’s really much more of a distraction than help during the session. There’s gonna be a montage of visual gags of how disruptive Pridestar is with the training. But it’ll generally be saucy. Making matters worse, the Grotein formula has an unexpected side effect of only making the lion's man parts enlarge to awkward proportions.

Creative Conundrum

Here’s where I can’t quite decide, in part because my sexual energies are like all over the place. – if the growth should just be limited to his junk and balls? Or should the rest of him grow in delayed, timed moments? There seems to be quite a few possibilities here and I’m not sure where I’d like to take the rest of the premise to. Then there’s the bit where I’m deciding if… maybe it could be air inflation? PS thinks Snares is not growing fast enough so he grabs a couple of helium tanks. While I enjoy doing hyper buff drawings and sketches, I’m not entirely sure if I want to do another sequence again? In Baewatch, we’ve seen Snares go through air inflation, and in Swole Mates, we see mass gain. A personal concern of mine is if I’ve just run out of ideas and simply repeating things all over again?

The personal voices and self doubt have not been great at arriving at a solution I feel confident about. I’m open to comments and suggestions here, in the meantime, I’ll keep working on it.

Stay swole, take care.
