December 2024 Schrade Update: Content Update and 2025 Revision Plan

Heya patrons, Schrade here~ Still a bit sick but it is what it is haha.

Im here to talk about content, and the stuff I make, it will be quite long but I want to show my eagerness for whats to come next year~ But for now I'd like to announce whats in store for december!

Coming December, I will sadly pause the VIP Poll for this month and we shall be starting with a fresh new batch next month, I will create a Bitez-tier roulette as well as tiered patron rewards for it. It will be called Cursed Gift Giving. A new roulette with a special gameplay to be announced at a later date for now but my draft for it seems quite fun. another release will be the Bondage Estate CYOA 2.0. Officially being put out of beta, I got plans for it next year with expansion content, and after a long 4 months of testing it should be ready to be released in my platforms of reddit and a few other places. and thats my plans for december~ Time to talk about next year. and listen well as this is important.

Re :Roulettes

I have been creating roulettes since 2020. And I have created plenty of bangers, and some, just okay stories. I love making roulettes but I realized that nonstop working on my infamously long projects has been mentally draining as of late, and its starting to feel a bit too formulaic. The same 4 storyline brackets, and the gameplay varied with the point system. I never got out of that loop because I was a bit scared with getting off-formula. but the bitez series of roulettes has been quite fun to play and does quite better than my longer roulettes. That is why I feel like starting 2025 I will start a new direction with my roulette content. I will not focus on how much content I do, but the quality in how to play, The Patreon Tiered rewards will probably not be affected by this and will still follow tighter, more focused stories with fun tasks to accompany it.

aside from that, I started with just roulettes back then and I appreciate everybody here who has been supporting me through patreon at the start of it, I have blossomed into more contents to make like CYOAs and Pixel art, and even written stories, and I feel like my old strong output isnt healthy anymore, for both my tendency to overwork, and quality of work with the writing. This is more or less me wanting to avoid burnout with roulettes by creating roulettes that are shorter but more interesting to play. starting with my plan this december for the cursed gift giving roulette. I thank you for reading and I hope you understand and continue to support me for roulettes with this new direction in mind. Maybe its just a me thing always feeling like I want to make longer content with everything I do, but yea, to sum it up, Roulettes from now on will be shorter yet have more diversity with how to play it. Tier Reward system will also be reworked, breakdown of new patreon tier reward system coming soon.

Re:CYOAs 

CYOAs has been something I branched out to in about 2022 with bunny manager CYOA, and I know some of you here has been following me for my CYOAs rather than for roulettes, I appreciate it so much that my new content has been quite popular and well appreciated through the CYOA community, I want to integrate CYOAs more and more with my patreon by issuing new rewards for the CYOA readers, starting next year we shall be getting expansions early for paid supporters and getting early/exclusive, story content for CYOA worlds starting with bondage estate, more or less, I am planning to somewhat create a bestiary/list of existing roles and archetypes within the estate, and other worlds like bunny wonderland and even unfinished projects like SchradeCorp. These lore pages are not part of the "Choose your own adventure" but original, separate reading material that help flesh out further the worlds I make. The first will be coming this month for supporter plus early, and the tier integrations will receive "alts" surrounding the same listing but with different variants of the same class. Im bad at explaining things but Its something new, and I think I'll make a few samples for now and practice this month as this is something I plan to release next year.

But yup, I think I'd want to create something extra for my CYOA supporters as well that is why my new supplementary lore pages will be added to be released early, then publically soon after for purely reading material surrounding my CYOA series, with exclusive variants to pages that are a bit longer with extra variants to the same sprite, this is something I consider very fun and includes plenty of my pixel art~

Aside from that, thats just extra things to offer in my tiers and I will be editing my entire patreon in preparation for next year to detail and list down the new rewards and stuff from my content, also I'd like to clarify, that these new rewards are not playable content like expansions, solely extra stories that are mentioned in the CYOA, but not elaborated on.

Either way I thank everybody who supports the patreon for the CYOA content, I hope to provide more content to you all in the future~

Re:Pixel art

I have been quite enamored with drawing in the years that came and I have been getting confident in it, I think you can also see the progress of my skills through my CYOA and Roulette projects, I will soon be offering pixel art commissions through patreon through the investor tier as well as a new tier for pixel art commissions for those who wish to support me in this angle and to acquire commissions from me here too. I wish to reward everybody with all of the parts of the content I love making so dearly.

Conclusion

Whew mentioned a lot of my feelings with content today but its quite healthy to be clear with you bunny patrons with what I wanna do in the future as we are in the cusp of new year. And that is why im taking a short break this month to prepare for these plans. I dont know why Im getting more sick in december but im also trying to focus on keeping my health up as best as possible! I have to admit these last few days hasnt been good to me as of late health wise too :<

I will be creating a breakdown of the new reward system to come for next year and my new patreon revision when I get more time to focus on things when im feelin better. Thank you for reading and I will be seeing you all very soon~
