About current status of reward character

I apologize for the January / February GoldTier reward being significantly delayed.

I am currently working hard to complete this "meta Tifa" at all times. I are currently preparing the final character adjustments and the LRE and 4K versions of the scene data. I will distribute it within this week at the latest, so please wait a little longer.

meta Tifa is for everyone who supported us as gold tier in January and February.

Unfortunately, the costume is not finished yet. (The costume in the above image uses Foolboy's mod.)
The delivery of the costume will be postponed to a later date, but I will definitely distribute it to those who supported me as gold tier in February, so don't worry.

About gold reward in March

As stated above, I have not had time to prepare the new compensation in March because the compensation in February has been delayed. So if you are solely about earning rewards, don't support me this month.

March will be the same reward as February, so you will be disappointed.
I will be happy if you become patron again someday when you want to support me again.

Reason for the delay in reward

There are two reasons for the delay so far.
One of the causes is that I broke my right hand in an accident. Currently, I have removed cast, and it has recovered to a level that does not affect my daily life. 

However, I can operate the keyboard without any problems, but I can't operate the mouse as I imagine.
For example, building something with Blender takes many times longer than before. Switching to a mouse with trackball-like features has made a slight improvement, but it was completely useless in the HoneySelect studio.

One other reason is a HDD crash.
Normally, this would not be a big problem because I were running backups, but when I bought a new PC, the backups were not running and historical data was deleted to organize the data. This was the worst timing.

Fortunately, the crash was on the secondary HDD, but much of the data on Tifa was in that hard drive. (And the Mod Collection that I got so far and the 4K Diffuse environment of HS also lost.) The recovery of the HDD was hopeless, so I had to recreate the same thing.

To be honest, I was pretty depressed, but I didn't want this to happen again, so I decided to radically rethink my PC and backup system.

I purchased a NAS and two HDDs, built a RAID mirroring backup, and as a spare, built a system that automatically synchronizes using an external HDD and multiple cloud services.

As a result, I feel that the trouble of losing data has become much less likely in the future.

I always work on multiple projects in parallel, many of which I've been working on since last year. Some are nearly complete, while others are still in the early stages of design.

In any case, what you see in these screenshot are some of the work in progress. There are more if you include experimental artifacts.
My immediate goal is to finish these projects. And I want to make it public here. 

Last year I spent a lot of time on Patreon rewards, but this year I want to spend more time on what I want to build.

I will return to work. Thank you.
