About That Patron-only Haruka (Yakuza 6) Beta Release (Patreon)

As announced before the current HS project I'm working on is Reiko from Rumble Roses and Allison Snow after that. However I just release another mod for $5 tier above that isn't any of those two, and here's why (and how). So even before Kaoru I've worked on Haruka as a mean to test viability of porting Yakuza model to HS. Experimenting some new techniques etc, then between Kaoru, Koyuki, and Yuki projects I keep using Haruka for testing. Eventually she's in working state, with only few things still need to be fixed and refined. Based on the poll Haruka's turn is after Yuki anyway, but I want to break the monotony and do something else, which as you know decided as Reiko and Allison. However it's middle of the month already and Reiko is far from finished. I need something to fill the gap.

Back then I used to reward patrons with exclusive WIP and project update posts, you know, kinda like behind the scenes feature for a video release. But I decided that my rant about unfinished mods is really not that good as a reward. I'd like to give something more substantial like earlier-than-early release but the nature of HS head mod workflow doesn't allow that. Haruka is special case so I can do this now, but I don't expect to do this every time.

As for the plan I'll stick to finishing Reiko and Allison first, then after that I'll revisit Haruka and release her properly for $1 tier and public as usual.
