Developer's Journal #15 (Patreon)

Hey everybody.  I have been working as hard as I can on the game this week.  Two weeks ago I reported postworked renders at 748.  I'm now up to 1,005 with about twenty to render overnight.  Once those are done, we will be very, very close to being done.  There are only two things left.

The first is simple--I created an unlockable bonus image gallery with two images for this release.  One image is done, and I'll do the second tomorrow.

The second is not so simple.  Several weeks back I got bogged down working on the update's one lewd scene, including the animation.  I finally put that to the side so I wouldn't fall behind on the rest of the update.  So that is the one big thing that remains to be completed.  The lewd scene is important to do correctly because if it's bad then no matter how much somebody likes the rest of your game they may still lose interest.  So I'm going to ask for your patience for just a little while longer while I finish that.  I will get you the update this week, it will probably just be a couple of days later than my target.

Everything else is done.  The entire story, music, the bonus scene, etc.

One issue to be aware of: saves.  If you played on PC or Mac, your saves should still work but they will probably load you at the beginning of the scene you saved in.  I've added additional labels in my Ren'py script so this should not be a problem in the future.  If you played on Android, then you will need to move your saves manually prior to installing the update, otherwise they will be overwritten/lost.  My apologies for this inconvenience.  I am now using a new build for Android that will allow the save files to be saved to an external source on your device so the problem should not recur.

I am really excited to release this update because I'm eager to continue telling the story.  Also, not everyone is willing to even bother trying a demo (let alone supporting one like you guys have been awesome enough to do).  So hopefully more people will give the game a shot with the update.

Alright guys, thanks for your patience and your support!
