Slave Mastered – Currently…

Last week, I took another break… yes, I admit it.

I wasn’t working on another project. I was working extended hours during the day, and spending time during the week playing Destiny’s Open Beta.  (Oh, and don’t ask about leaving a window open during a rainstorm… after you’ve moved a computer in front of said window to keep it cool because you’re in Midsummer and it’s freaking HOT and you’re not prepared for rain.)

I’ve been having a lot of fun writing scene elements for Slave Mastered.  I get to write Dom, and I get to write Sub.

Personally, I like my play on the lighter side… with occasional delving into the heavier stuff… when it’s done right.  I do plan to try my hand at writing some harder stuff… this will be a first for me… writing harder play, but I know if I do it well then it will push the right buttons for some people… perhaps myself, too.

Truth be told, most of the scenes are incomplete.

Some need to be scaled-back because I was being too ambitious… some just seem to be missing zing, for lack of a better word.  And, a couple, well… are difficult to finish because I get distracted… sometimes… because I don’t like to fap and write at the same time.  Seems to be a bad mix for me.  *wink*

I just read the above text…  sub-mode? Looks like.

Sorry about that.

On another topic…   I’ve noticed a few trends on one of the sites / forums I follow.

First:  People posting alpha games for the general public, and leaving them in alpha… with very little content.

Another trend:  People downloading / playing alpha-stage games and then being really unhappy when there isn’t much game to the game.  …then they rate the games poorly.  (Yes, it’s their right; I’m not denying them that.)

I don’t want to be involved in either of those trends.  I want to make sure that my first release(s) possess some real content… and I don’t want people complaining about what I do produce (for lack of content).  I know there will always be some people who will not be happy.  I know there are some people who will gripe and complain no matter what I provide.  …but I’d like to do it without hanging a bullseye around my neck.

TL;DR: Still going… and going… and trying not to embarrass myself.  I’m okay with accepting failure… as long as I produce from a real, solid effort.  Failing from a half-assed attempt not okay.  And succeeding from a half-assed attempt is even worse, I think.  Maybe I over-think things.
