Merry Christmas, everyone!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate it). I hope you are all doing okay and keeping safe this season. Things have been a bit rough with me lately, but I am okay and pushing on, and hope to have some new art posted soon; I actually have a couple of pieces almost ready to post however time got away from me to get them up for Christmas. Sorry! Again, best wishes and take care all! Thanks for your continued support, prayers, kind words, donations and fun discussions. It really means the world to me to have friends like you folks out there, even halfway around the world lik so many of you are. Always know how much I value and love ya all, even when I'm shoddily absent. :) Cheers, Banjo

Art - Pool Party Paradise

"Pool Party Paradise"

It's been a long time, but I'm hoping this might mark the start of renewed posting. Since this is a "double celebration" of sorts (my first new art post in years and also that this weekend is my birthday) I decided that showing a literal celebration would be fun. So, I present... a spanking pool party where the ladies are very definitely "in charge"!

Game - The StarStruck Clinic, updated to v1.2

Game - Life Lessons DX

As you all know, I'm a F/M guy. It's my One True Pairing and I only make F/M art, stories and games. I had to bend that a little when I worked on the game 'SpanQuest DX' since the original allowed all four pairings (F/M, F/F, M/F, M/M) but my focus was still always on F/X.

One of the few X/F games I've ever enjoyed was Kandor994's 2019 'Life Lessons', mostly because I really liked the character of Ali, and the appeal of playing as an "evil" brat trying to avoid rather than get spanked, while getting someone else spanked, was a lot of fun for me.

By Kandor994's own admission, the game was never intended to be more than a "one and done" (for a site contest), with a few minor bugs remaining and some teased content not included. I contacted Kandor994 and asked if they ever planned to continue the game, and they didn't, however they did grant me permission to expand it as I had with Bagool's amazing SpanQuest. I was both thrilled and honored!

Finally, after several years of work, I've got this to the point that I feel it's okay to post.

Although smaller in scale than SQDX, there are a LOT of changes here. Graphical overhauls, new scenarios, extended puzzles, new music, an achievement system, custom menus, "scored" endings, and lots of new characters to meet.

The main thing this does not add are images for the spanking (yes, it's the same old boring "black screen" RPG maker tradition, sorry), something that given the scope of the game is far smaller than SQDX, *may* someday be rectified, but that would require finding an artist to commission, something I don't have time or money to do right now (there have been some kind offers to help, which I really appreciate and am still interested in when life is less chaotic).

While the game is complete and 100% beatable in multiple ways (with win/lose/draw outcomes, to put it simply), there are also some "unfinished content" parts you might notice; the plan is to someday finish those, but the timeframe isn't set. There is a hidden debug mode you can mess around with, but be warned that this will likely break your gameplay.

Please view the game's in-game credits from the menu for a full list of those who's work is part of this game.

Huge thanks and full credit go to Kandor994 for creating this game in the first place, as well as giving permission to continue it. Part of the delay was that while Kandor994 gave permission in 2019, I had been unable to contact them to show my edits and wasn't comfortable posting them without approval. When Kandor994 replied last year, I proceeded into a private beta test and am very thankful for my awesome team of private testers... you know who you are!

For those wondering why this is encrypted, remember that many commercial RPG Maker assets - some of which I have bought and used here - require encryption to protect the assets from redistribution as part of their terms of use. Please respect the creators - and my own - wishes and do not attempt to decrypt or redistrubute the sources. I have edited and made a lot of the resources myself, however, so if you see something you'd like to use in your own game just ask: if it is something I made, I would be happy to share!

Enjoy the game, and the awesomeness that is Ali. The theme of the competition the original Life Lessons was made for was "you play the villain". Now, in LLDX, you can choose: will Ali be good or bad?
Apologies again to my die hard F/M fans that this is X/F only. With enough support, I am very open to making it playable in "F/M mode" someday, but that will take a LOT of work and would really be a major undertaking (the main reason I didn't do it already!).

In any case, a huge thanks again to Kandor994 and all those who have been on the journey with me in testing, developing and inspiring this expanded version of one of my favourite spanking games.


Installation Guide:
Just unpack the archive somewhere (not your Program Files folder!) and run game.exe to play. I included a nice icon if you want to make a desktop shortcut.

You should NOT need to download and install any sort of "RTP" for RPG Maker. Life Lessons DX is meant to be completely standalone. If you have issues, let me know.

Game - The StarStruck Clinic

The StarStruck Clinic is a multimedia text-based (Twine-powered) spanking simulator with a difference; instead of going around spanking others, you're the one getting spanked!

The backstory and setting is described in the game, but suffice to say, you play a "volunteer" (or not) who is arriving at one of the new chains of StarStruck Clinics for the first time. These Clinics are a new concept, where celebrities can pay to "blow off steam" by spanking people!

What will happen when you arrive? Who will spank you? You'll just have to find out for yourself...

The current crisis

Just wanted to check in again and say hi to everyone, and let you all know I'm still alive!

The current coronavirus crisis is starting to severely impact Australia (yay for complacent and idiotic leadership) as it has most of the world, and I am currently in self-isolation since I care for an elderly relative a risk. The only silver lining is more time at home and at the computer, so just maybe a chance to catch up on posting some fun stuff to keep everyone's spirits up as we all ride through these trying times together.

After much consideration, and due to facing very real financial limitations as things shut down here, I have finally started a "Ko-fi" donation page, which is liked to on the sidebar now. I aim to get a Patreon up and running eventually too, but that takes much longer due to tax laws, etc. Please only give what you can afford, as I know times are tough for all of us right now. Still, who knows? Maybe one day I'll make enough on donations to do what I do full time instead of working a vanilla job? LOL!

In any case, please keep safe, stay home if you can, and keep upholding each other in our thoughts and prayers. I never thought I'd see something like this in my lifetime, it seems just the other day I was starting up my own blog or even posting on Yahoo (now gone, too). It's been a fun 15 years, and here's hoping we all share many more in times to come.

Cheers,
Banjo

Happy New Year (and safe and well)

Happy New Year, everyone! :)

I also wanted to post just to let everyone know that I'm alright. If you've seen on the news about the terrible fires here in Australia, I am thankful to be far enough away from any of them to be safe (aside from the smoke in the air that has come this far, even!). Please keep my fellow Aussies in your thoughts and prayers, though; the scale of this disaster is pretty massive and tragic.

Update from Banjo

Thanks to everyone for your support, thoughts, prayers and messages this past month or so during a very difficult time. Pixie, my dog, passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was my darling baby girl, and even though sixteen is a very good run for a dog, losing her was one of the hardest days of my life. I've had her almost as long as I've been doing my "spanko thing" online, so losing her has felt like the end of an era in more ways than one.

On the positive, I (unexpectedly) have a new dog (Pepper) as of Easter. She is keeping me *very* busy right now, but she's a beautiful, fun-loving puppy.

Sorry for the "radio silence" recently (both on my blog and on other forums I visit semi-regularly), but I was in no state to go online or do anything "fun" for awhile. I am hoping to get back to "work" (i.e. spanky fun stuff like games, art, writing) in the next week or so, but wanted to post this so people didn't think I'd fallen off the world... again! :(

Thanks again to everyone. So many wonderful people have been so supportive, especially since 2019 has not been what I'd call a "good year" so far (did I mention I had a terrible flu a week ago, too?). On the upside, my post-surgery discomfort/issues seem to be improving greatly at last!

All the best, folks, and hope to be back posting stuff soon.

Cheers,
Banjo

Update on my progress

Sorry for the lack of promised posts. I am still recovering, but my main concern right now is caring for my beloved dog, who is very sick right now. Please uphold her ("Pixie", a Jack Russell/terrier cross) in your thoughts and prayers. She is quite old, but means the world to me. :(

Home and recovering from surgery

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and support. I am home from hospital and have been recovering for the past week or so, and feeling a lot better. It's a fairly long road, but a smooth one hopefully! :)

Going into hospital today

Just a quick post - I know it's been a long time! - to let everyone know the reason for my long silence has been due to ill health, sadly. Today I go into hospital for surgery, and I am hoping and praying for a positive result that will give me a new lease of life and let me resume blogging, doing fun stuff and living well!

I don't talk about my faith here really; some of you know that I'm a Christian, though many more don't. This has been a trying time for me, but with God's help and the support, prayers and love of my family, friends and all you wonderful people I've met online from around the world, I hope to get through this and be even back posting new stuff soon. No matter your own beliefs, I ask you please uphold me in your prayers or positive thoughts these next couple of days.

I've said many times that I do this only because I want to make folks happy and give them enjoyment with my art, stories, games and whatever. There is too much negative, dark, miserable focus in this world, increasingly more so IMO, so even with a silly little blog like this I wanted to give people a smile, a tingle and make them feel good about being who we are: spankos!

All the best, folks! See you on the other side...;)

Cheers,
Banjo
