This is for those folks that aren't Patrons. Hey everyone, I have some really HUGE news for this update, so please, please, PLEASE read what I have to say. I know there's a lot here, but it's extremely important! It's with a heavy heart that I make this announcement, but CursedMarked and I will no longer be working together. In the best interest of our friendship and the project, we have come to this agreement and will no longer be working together. This actually revolves around some of the personal reasons we had to cancel IDEKA as well. Overall, it's better for both of us to go this direction. The past several months have been really stressful for us, and this is the best option. It's really unfortunate, and I'd never be where I am today without him. Thank you so much for all you've been able to help me do, my dear friend. So, what does that mean for Extracurricular Activities? Well, it just means I'll be using a new artist. The overwhelming amount of feedback I received on my post back in January made me feel confident that the project will still push forward, even with a change in artists. I know this will yield mixed feelings, but I'm letting folks know now, in case you are only here for the art and want to back out before the month changes. I am happy to say that I do have a solution already, and from this point on, I'll be working with Bigfingers Games Inc. (or better known as CaptainGerBear). As some of you might know, he's seen huge success with his own games Bastard Bonds (on Steam!) and See No Evil, and he's on board to bring his professional work and advice to Extracurricular Activities. You can see from the work I'm sharing that he's already hard at work, so stay tuned and see what else is in store! This is just a small example of more to come.
Keep in mind, there is a huge difference in the style of the two artists, and CaptainGerBear is working to keep things are true as possible to their designs. There is a lot of work to do, and there is much much more to come, so stay tuned for that.Public demos won't see any major changes until at least Update 1.54 releases, most likely. Thanks to everyone for your support and interest in the project!

Man, last month was a crazy busy month for me. I spent a lot of time with friends for the holidays, and I even got a decent amount of work done too. Update 1.49 - * Dozer Day 17 * Added Dozer Images to Gallery Update 1.48 - * Chester Day 22 * Darius Day 16 * Corrected typos/errors from previous days from Google documents * Updated Credits * Update Music Gallery What was really awesome about the time with finds is that is also helps offer some inspiration in my writing. There are times when I struggle with ideas, and I pull stuff from my real life experiences. We were visited from an out of state friend who's boyfriend from Canada came down as well. I went to a spa for the first time ever, and they actually had real nude baths and showers there, which was a blast, and I can't wait to use something like that in my writing. I know I already did with Chester, but I experienced it for a change! It was amazing! There was just so much good stuff going on, and it left me with a lot of great memories. Good food was had, good times were had and everything was just fantastic. Now, for some art things! Most of what I've seen lately, I can't actually share here, due to the mature nature of it, but... Here is this piece! HungryPaws did this amazing piece of Chester as well. I was so excited with the opportunity to commission him was brought up to me, and I do no regret that choice at all. You can check out his page for a nude version of this guy! Anyhow, happy new year and let's look forward to an amazing 2018! I hope everyone sees a ton of success in their lives this year. Best wish to you all, and thank you for the support you've been showing me. I'd never have dreamed I'd be able to do what I do, and I can because of all the support I get from everyone. Thank you, guys! Man, there's been so much going on, I keep forgetting to update my blog @__@ Here are a handful of things to update about! For those of you that don't follow me on Patreon or Twitter, the Coach Grifter plush campaign failed, unfortunately. I got a lot of good feedback for the whole thing though, so I'll be trying another one at some point in the future. With our IDEKA 2017 game, we have had a bumpy road with that and have only released a demo of it so far. We were far more ambitious than we initially planned, so it's taking us some extra time for get that released. We are still working on it, it's just taking longer than we intended it to! Now, for Extracurricular Activities... Since the last blog update, let's see... It looks like 1.45 was the last post I had blogged about. Today, I released version 1.47 for Patrons, but it was on the shorter side. I only did a single route, and that was for Spencer for 1.47. There were a variety of reasons why I only did one update, but it's out now! Here's a snippet from my change log about updates 1.47 and 1.46! Update 1.47 - * Spencer Day 20 * Fixed inconsistencies within Spencer's route (During Critical Strike side route and Day 15 conversation with Darius) * Fixed inconsistencies within Coach's route (Buffet conversasion between day 11 and 12, tweaked some dialogue about the patio on Day 12 if you haven't been on the date, portrait on Day 18) * Fixed inconsistencies within Dozer's route (Day 7 and Day 8 in regards to the bonsai book and trees) * Fixed inconsistencies within Chester's route (Day 8 added in an extra snippet of text about the MC's card deck being picked up, Day 14 portrait issue) * Corrected Chester's interpretation of Senpai! He knew better. * Adjusted some dialogue one Day 7 with Darius and the whereabouts of MC's clothes * Corrected typos/errors from previous days from Google documents Update 1.46 - * Coach Grifter Day 24 * Dozer Day 16 * Added a music gallery! * Added new images of Coach to the image gallery * Updated 2 sketches of Coach to full images * Corrected typos/errors from previous days from Google documents * Updated Credits * Updated Title Screen Game updates aside, with the failure of the Coach Grifter plush, there is more merchandise you guys can buy! You can see it on the Extracurricular Activities store page on FurryDakimakura's website (yes, I have a page now!). The new products are the Coach Grifter mouse pad and then the Coach Grifter wall scrolls. The wall scrolls have 4 different designs (each sold separately). And man, I haven't posted art in a while either, but let me tell you, I've gotten some great stuff sent my way this time! There's more of it than I have time to post right now, but here are some of them! You can follow me on Twitter to see the stuff I reblog too (cause I can't share all of it here, since it's too revealing)! #1-7 - Stan_Gun #8 - Basil~Blackburn #9 - PapaBurry #10 - Taoare #11 - Purple Tuesdays #12 - TheButtDawg #13 - MarlonCores #14 - Ghangaji #15 - CrunChester #16 - Firezol #17 - Black-Spectre #18 - Sir-Galant #19 - Inked-Waffle #20 - Over-Reflect #21-23 - TheAvantist #24 - Corintio #25 - Zenneth #26 - FDolagaray #27 - Dolce Volpe There is so much amazing work you guys send me, and I love it all.
