Writing Journal: Progress has been good on The Adjusters #65. Now that I know what Book VI is all about—a realization that struck me two weeks ago—it's going a lot faster. I will not have it ready by March 1st, but should be done by next weekend. Then the conclusion of Book VI, and then on to Jenn to see how she's faring at the House of the Rising Sun.
I've actually been following a few interesting stories here and there, but I'll keep those for the next blog post, and instead point out a couple of interactive stories/games you should be aware of.
I came across this one practically by accident, but it's actually pretty good. Corrupting the Princess. As the author says: “You play as Marcus, a very successful businessman that is about to foreclose on a church when a very tempting offer is dropped in his laps by Aliane, the gorgeous high priestess.” I'll let you guess what the offer is.
Fugue has an ongoing interactive story that he's been giving previews for, Dollars and Sins, which should be pushing many of your mind control buttons. Just a preview, but promising. Interestingly, he is also publishing the straight up story that underlies the game. And that story is in some sense darker. Certainly, the protagonist in the story is a lot more straight up and casual about his use of his magic dollars. In contrast, you can almost feel a hesitancy in the protagonist of the game. Still, both are worth looking at.
Finally, one of my favorite smut artists, Alx, has a game out—really, a proof of concept for his larger game about Hogwarts which we're all really looking forward to seeing!—called Gargoyles: The Beast and the Bitch. Yeah, it's about the TV show Gargoyles. Yeah, I know. But give it a shot. You're welcome.

Princess Trainer
Writing Journal: Happily hacking away on The Adjusters #55. I should be further ahead than I am, but I'm still on track to finish for the end of the month. Still wish I had a bit more of a buffer, but at least, until the end of Book V, I know what all the plot lines are. Also: 1000 words is not that much. Either that, or I way overwrite.
I spent the few hours before bed this week playing Akabur's Princess Trainer, and holy fuck does that game push all of my buttons!
I suspect most of you have heard of it already.
If not, the story's simple enough. It takes place in Disney's Aladdin universe, and Jafar is in power. He had tasked you with the job of training Princess Jasmine, which he intends to marry, so that she is nice and obedient and submissive for the wedding. Your job, basically, is to break her.
The game has no time limit, and is quest-based. The graphics are excellent, though they are not interactive. But it's the narrative that ends up pushing the game beyond a curiosity for cartoon perverts. It's gripping and quite dark despite the omnipresent humor. And it's pretty linear (meaning that Akabur can actually control the story) but the quests can be done essentially independently, adding just the right level of interactiveness. Did I mention it was quite dark? It's probably not for everyone, but for this guy here, it's pretty damn amazing.
The interface is a bit painful at times—there's some grinding needed in places (not much, thankfully) and the clicking gets tiring, especially if you end up repeating a scene that you've played before and there is no way to shortcut it. Technically, the game is programmed in Ren'Py, which I had not heard of but seems worth checking out if you're the creative sort.
If you're more into traditional storytelling, have a look at a story that I bookmarked a long time ago and that I've now started to read. It's Oceania by Expresso42: “Abducted and mind-wiped by a powerful corporation, Claire Savage is forced to work in an illicit brothel. Escaping sexual enslavement and fighting to regain her memories, she uncovers a shocking secret about her past and a conspiracy that threatens to plunge the world into chaos.” Come on, who can resist a description like that? Note that it's 80% sci-fi and 20% sex. But it's pretty decent sci-fi, and worth reading. (Disclaimer: I'm maybe a third of the way through, so for all I know it may completely drop off the quality cliff before the end.)

Flash Games
It's been a rough last couple of weeks, which explains (but does not excuse) my lack of presence here. Things are slowly getting better, but I'm still down in the dumps. That it's raining buckets out isn't helping any. And on the writing side, I'm typing up and revising episodes 16 and 17 of The Adjusters, and it's a mess. So all in all, bleh! -- if you'll permit me the expression.
In the meantime, even my smut reading has taken a dive. So instead, tonight, let's look at something different. Violet Blue over at TinyNibbles posted a week ago about a Flash game called Konashion, or more descriptively Super Deepthroat. It's exactly what you would expect. What's interesting about it is the mods that are being developed:
I admit, it's well done. And a worthy successor in a long line of similar games. One of my favorites -- and that it's Spider-Man themed is completely coincidental I swear! -- is this one. A bit filthier, both in image and in dialogue (which is somewhat cringe-worthy, but still amusing in places).
But neither of those are as good as my all-time favorite Flash game, variously called Up the Wahzoo, or Strip the Tech. Part of the attraction is that it has an actual storyline. And the graphics are well done. And I find the girl hot -- does that make me weird? (To play, follow the on-screen instructions. When stuck, move the arrow on the screen and pay attention to where the arrow or image changes, indicating where something is clickeable.)
Know any other interesting online game of that ilk? I'm always up for something entertaining.

The community and mods this game has grown is impressive, as seen in the Super Deepthroat forums. Mods include different backgrounds (such as a crowd of onlookers or distant planets), different hair, different skin colors, tattoos and facial piercings, bondage accessories like collars, chains and rope harnesses and much more.
There is even a hair archive wiki. I was so enthralled by the creative mods and users’ interest in making her into their favorite Suicide Girl, Erin from the Esurance commercials, or Jessica Rabbit (though most mods are for Hentai and cosplay characters) that I put together a small sample gallery after the jump.
