VN Ren'Py New Year's Day(e) [Ch. 4 v0.4.1] [Jonesy]

[*Jonesy*]

Hey! Just want to thank you for mentioning Lockheart and Jestur. You mentioned Lockheart before and I have sense played everything they have to this date. I'm hoping very strongly that they decide to finish Over the Moon at some point. I absolutely loved that whole trilogy! Also had already played Avalon but didn't realize it was by Lockheart. I will now play as much as I can find of Jestur's games. And I agree that while CE was similar to APAT in theme, they were different enough, IMO, that both were great stories.

On another topic, if you had to pick being supported on only one website, which would you prefer? I'm supporting you on Patreon atm, but also know about Subscribestar, and I'm wondering if SS would be better since they don't seem to have a problem with incest content there vs Patreon. Sorry if these topics are not welcome here. I'm thinking about adding Discord next month for more direct messaging.

Hey! As far as support goes, SS is probably going to stand the test of time, especially with the content I have planned for Siren Song. Definitely not Patreon friendly. Plus, unfortunately it seems more and more platforms are distancing themselves from any type of adult content. Subscribestar is one stable safe haven for creators of these crazy stories (At least it is for now. Who knows what the future will bring).

APAT was the first AVN I ever read and it's still one of, if not my very favorite AVN. Lockheart is a great creator and a really nice person. He could've been really vindictive about the whole APAT vs CE thing, but he wasn't. He actually gave me a bunch of advice about getting better renders through filters, lighting, etc. Standup dude.

"Ripples" is the only thing I am aware of that Jestur has done. I could very well be mistaken, but I haven't been able to find anything else by them. "Ripples" is outstanding, though imo. Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

There are a slew of other great creators out there though. I don't want to start a list and leave people out, but there are a bunch of people I looked up to when I was starting out and now that I am at least somewhat competent, I can appreciate their work(s) on a different level.

Sorry for the ramble. Thanks for the support and I hope you have fun reading the rest of my stories.

I don't know much about these support platforms like Patreon other than I noticed in several threads that they are cracking down on the content but is Onlyfans an option for adult game creators?

Short answer: I don't know. Maybe?

Longer answer: As far as I know (which is limited), Onlyfans isn't really set up for this type of support, but to be honest, I haven't really looked into it. While it seems somewhat similar to Patreon and Subscribestar as far as subscription-based access to adult content, I haven't seen anyone else using it for AVN's. Sorry I can't be more definitive. And you're right, it may be worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I looked into it briefly and found that OF uses Stripe as one of its payment processors. Stripe is known for it's anti-porn/adult terms of service but chose to make an exception for OF because - money. What I don't know is if Stripe has the power to pick and choose who they will or won't allow to process payments for on OF. This is similar to what happens on Itch.io. I and a bunch of other AVN creators have been seemingly arbitrarily demonetized by Stripe/Itch while other creators of AVN's are allowed to continue doing business. It's quite frustrating. So, maybe that's a reason? Again, I can't be certain.

Hey Everyone!


It has been exactly one year since I began work on New Year's Day(e). When I started it, I honestly thought I'd be done with it by now. I mean, Christmas Eve was 4 chapters and it took 6 months, so I figured simple math would dictate that NYD would take about a year to finish. Imagine my surprise when chapter 1 was a little over 7,700 line of code long. CE was about 12,000 lines long in it's entirety. It's been a challenging and sometimes daunting task, but it's also been really fun and strangely rewarding.

Everyone: SHUT UP, JONESY! TELL US WHEN CHAPTER 4 WILL BE DONE!

Sorry! So, I was almost done with act II (afternoon) when I had a really awesome idea for a scene that would tie into the end of it really nicely, so that scene is what I am currently working on. The new scene introduces 3 new characters and opens up a new perspective on the story. I posted one character for my Patreon and Subscribestar peeps the other day, and I'll probably do the same with the other 2 soon.

Act III will be fun, but challenging, and I'm hoping to have it done by mid-April. Then I just need to clean it up and get it into your hands. I'm doing a lot of editing, proofreading, etc. as I go these days, so hopefully there won't be too much of a delay in the post-work.

On another more personal note, the past few months have been really rough for me. Some of this has of course spilled into my stories. I lost my dad back in September and I just lost a good friend the other day to severe alcoholism and drug abuse. I'm too damn young to be going to this many funerals. Tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Give them that hug. Hang out with them. I know we're all busy doing our own things, but seriously, make the time. Call them. Squash that argument or say you're sorry if you need to. Get the help you need if you need help. Help them if they need it. Tell them you love them. Tell them now, before it's too late. None of us lasts forever, but when they're gone, they're gone for good.

I love y'all.

~ Jonesy

Hi, Jonesy. So sorry for your losses. It's been less than 2 years since I lost my dad and it still hits me sometimes. And that's okay. We are human.
Thanks for the update! No rush on posting a new chapter. Your VNs are worth the wait. Also, I was hoping you would pass along my congrats and appreciation to your writer(s)! I usually try a VN if I see decent graphics and favorite tags but end up staying and replaying when the story is good. Your VNs have both! I really like them. And since I have begun playing your games I have decided not to mod the original games so I can get the original concept intended by the developer. Does that make sense?
Anyway, looking forward to future posts, chapters, etc!

Hang in there!

Thanks for your condolences. I'm doing OK.

I would pass your praises on to my writing department, but I can't because it's me. I'm a one man show. This is somewhat of a double-edged sword. I can take all the credit for praise like this, but when things get messed up, there's also no one to blame but me. And that's OK. I kinda like it that way. Less confusion, arguing, and no meetings. For god's sake, no meetings with anyone. I just think about how I want my story to go while I take walks or while I'm driving, then I come home and write it out, then make renders that reflect that writing and then code it up. Rinse and repeat for about 3 or 4 months and release another chapter. There's more to it than that, but that's the gist - not that you asked me to tell you all of this.

Anyway, back to making images of cute girls doing naughty things.

Thanks!

Ah, no worries! I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you had hired a writer. So even more impressive that it's all you! Must have been someone else.

Glad you are doing okay. Hope those cute girls doing naught things are at least thinking about MC!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a couple of weeks or so, and I just wanted to let you know how things are going.

First of all, sorry for getting all emo in my last post, but thank you all for your sympathies and well-wishes, I truly appreciate them.

Second, I am about halfway done with the final scene of act III of Chapter 4 of New Year's Day(e). It's a pretty spicy one!

Things are really starting to heat up in chapter 4 and I think chapters 5 and 6 are gonna be on frickin' fire.

Lots going on in this chapter and lots to look forward to. I will say that I have been making some minor adjustments to past events to make way for a better story going forward. Nothing major has changed. Nothing that effects the current state of the story and/or characters. Just small continuity changes. For instance, I had the MC mention at one point that he had been married before and that Heather was his second wife (I didn't even give his first wife a name, so...). I changed that so that Heather was his first and only wife. If this is an earth-shattering, story-ruining change, I apologize. Maybe someone can make a patch to change it back!;P

Anyway, I think I'm on track to have this done by Star Wars Day (5/4). It's chapter 4, so that makes it relevant, right?

Also, for those interested, I've been posting character bios/backstories for all paid tiers of

and

. I've gotten some really positive feedback. People feel they give the character's more depth and context in the story. So far I've introduced 3 new characters, as well as made bios for Kaylee, Becky, Kim, Sabrina, Olivia, and Chelsea. So, if you'd like to learn a little more about these folks, feel free to head to one of those places, float me a couple of bucks and check them out.

Back to work!

Love y'all!

Honestly...the update really didnt do much for me to feel better about the rape from chapter 3. Now it just feels even more like a tacked on thing to add drama to a game that didnt need it.

So now we have a character who has been a bitch, and are now supposed to just forgive her and feel sorry for her to what end? Is she going to just...get forgiven and fade away never to be seen again? What would that accomplish for the story?

Is she going to get "saved" and join the harem? I dont fucking want that. Not because she isnt a virgin or whatever, but because it just feels gross to "save" her from that kind of life only to add her to your sex family. Just feels manipulative.

I really liked the first game, and the first 2 chapters of this one, but man the last two have left a sour taste in my mouth.

Also remember she is still a bitch. Even if she has a very good reason why she became one, that does not make her any less of a bitch right now nor any more sympathetic now if have to deal with her on a daily basis, even if might feel sorry for the reasons that turned her in whom she is now.
