Demonology: Incubus edition!
Sneak Peek #4 (Incubus Chapter 8)
“You’re late,” Flea murmurs, not bitterly. “I missed you.”Mood shifting, he pulls you into a kiss that’s deep and claiming from the start. His intentions are childishly transparent.Things have been… weird… since the bogey’s nightmare. Since the fallout. Ted’s feelings, your feelings, Flea’s feelings all twisted up like raw nerves tied in a knot.You’ve been throwing yourself into sex.It’s so much easier to forget everything when the blood isn’t in your head. So much ni...
Ted's POV (Chapter 6)
Sorry, guys! No Q&A this month. As an apology, please enjoy this glimpse into Ted’s perspective during his time couch surfing with Flea and the detective.-Ted couldn’t sleep. No shit he couldn’t sleep—but even if he wasn’t currently suffering from insomnia-on-crack, he wouldn’t be likely to get much rest on a strange couch, without his wife sleeping beside him, with so much shit running around and around in his head.Time ticked by while he laid with his eyes closed and mind whirring....

Incubus is sitting this one out, since I think I could put "I wax romantical about the smell of Flea's armpits" and it would still beat out every competitor. Next week we're giving another game a chance!
Sneak Peek #3 (Incubus Chapter 8)
Flea fishes his phone out of his pocket and clicks his tongue. “Fucker’s really late now. What are we thinking—no show?”You’ve already sent a text to the client to no response so far.“We’ll give him five more minutes,” you decide.Flea hums in vague acceptance and slouches back in his seat. His legs stretch out, calves brushing against yours under the table. It’s a peaceful and companionable silence.Then, he straightens and says, “Hey, dare you to stick these up your nose.”H...
Q&A with Flea (September 2025)
The edited recap of our first live Flea Q&A from last Sunday! (Paid members can always go back and look at the full Q&A in the chat.)-What is your favorite hobby?"Right now? Learning to crochet is pretty fun—Grace makes it fun, at least. And she only makes fun of my technique, like, half the time. But I’m getting kinda bored now. Might move on to something else soon."If you switch to knitting, those needles could be real good for stabbing in a pinch."You have piqued my interest.....

No promises, but...
BTS #3 – Incubus – Things I Decided Were Too Dark
With Incubus, I tended to go hard in the planning stage and then dial it back during the writing. I love dark themes, and when I’m in the mood I enjoy really dark themes, but… I don’t know. The real world feels dark enough sometimes. As shitty as Solace is, I don’t want it to be utterly devoid of hope. So, here are some of the darker ideas that I axed:Chapter 5 – Mass CannibalismOriginally, the homeless community was a lot larger, and so was the number of missing people. Everyone would...

What do you guys wanna see next week?
Sneak Peek #2 (Incubus Chapter 8)
You dig around in your pocket on the off chance there’s some change rattling around in there somewhere, enough for drinks, or at least a drink to share, when Flea stops you with a hand on your arm.He leans in close and speaks into your ear, “Hey, I’m the one taking you out tonight. Go get us a booth?”While he heads to the bar, you scan the club for a free seat. Managing to poach a booth just as the previous occupants head out, you sit and wait. The music pounds, the lights flash, and the...

Q&A (August 2025)
We had our first live Q&A on Sunday and it was really fun, and hopefully not too messy! As promised, here is an edited recap of some of the questions and answers for non-patrons who are interested in some extra Incubus and game dev tidbits!Also, as requested during that Q&A, I have opened a general chat for everyone, free and paid members, if you'd like to connect with each other here on Patreon. <3Okay, onto the questions!-Hiii.

About This Sunday's Chat
We'll be trying out the very first live Q&A chat session Sunday 24th August! It'll be here on Patreon, and hopefully the Chats function is up to the job!Since our time zones and schedules are probably all over the place, I'd like to gauge when is the best time for those who are interested in being there. Select all the times that work for you.(Times below are BST. Here's a time zone converter if my wacky UK time means nothing to you.)
BTS #2 - Incubus - Flea’s Character Design
These are the notes I originally made for Flea’s design:The artist actually came up with the initial design after playing an alpha build of Chapter 1, just going off the brief description and vibe of him in the text itself, and then I sent the notes. He mostly looked the same as he does now, except he was a bit beefier and had these gorgeous dangly earrings. (And his nipple piercing did briefly go for a bit of a wander!)We also discussed the possibility of giving his hair a two-tone dyed look....

BTS #1 - Incubus - The Origins of Ted
Ted is actually a character transplanted from an old visual novel project of mine that never got off the ground. I loved the guy so much I ended up transplanting him into Incubus.This older version was different in a lot of ways. This Ted was a disillusioned cop, and his role as the protagonist’s mentor and friend was shattered after an incident in which his leg was permanently injured while he was protecting the protagonist from harm.But I think you can tell from the following excerpts that, ...
Sneak Peek #1 (Incubus Chapter 8)
“So, what did they say? How bad is it?” you ask, hanging up your jacket.“Didn’t you get my text?”You did get his text, but the [eggplant] [cat] [arrow] [house] [doctor] [tooth] [ syringe] [scissors] [question mark] [exclamation mark] [fish] [fish] [smiley face] barrage of emojis had been as inscrutable as always. You need him to tell you with his words.With an exaggerated sigh, Flea gives in and explains, “It was her tooth—it’s all rotten and shit. Vet said it’s normal for long...
