October Dev Update #2 (Patreon)

I'd like to begin this dev update post with a few mentions to end October!

One of the first mentions is that I had expected to post our 3rd anniversary post by the end of this month, but while it is in progress. I'm slowly piecing it together still and it'll be involving quite a good amount of images within it. So I hope when the post is ready here as we move into November, it'll be worth the wait on seeing that in it's fullest! ^^

The other mention is that episode 5 (v0.20) is right around the corner, clearly by this point it won't be ready in time before the end of October. But to briefly recap, we've been doing a lot of behind the scenes on document organization related to the project, updating information with the story and characters, making sure all of the important stuff for the future of the project is laid out without any second guesses or rushing ourselves last minute.

When we get content released, it should feel as if we're not running into any awkward moments of trying to rush and figure out what the next episode content should include or how things are progressed along the way to work as a whole story.

I'd like to shoot for 2-3 releases of content to end this year and really be moving in full speed the moment we're in the year 2023. So, all I can say for now is wait and see how we handle things with November and December. Hopefully we'll meet everyone's expectations on delivering some really nice, quality content as a whole! ^^

October has been a bit of a mess with getting into the mindset of college courses after working for the past 3-4 years, but I'd like to think I've got that stuff sorted out enough to have my schedule set with that. There is another personal thing that is on my mind to consider in the future that has me a bit all over the place related to living situation stuff and plans involved with that. I don't want to dive much into that stuff yet, since I don't quite know what I wish to do, but it's more of a personal thing that shouldn't affect the project.

~Recent Work~

Since our last dev update post earlier this month, we've had some progress seen from our sprite artist Lisa!

Some new additions for Erika will be shown off in previews here early in November and later in November, we'll have a huge preview for sprite stuff related to some other stuff that we're excited to share with everyone!

I have also heard our first preview draft for Heather's Theme, which still needs some work before it's finished.. But I expect to have that track completed sometime by the end of November.

I've just sent over the next cg scene details over to our cg artists MarxeDP and AjoseMp, with the costs for that sent back to me already and so that'll be starting up in November. We still have a Juliet cg scene to share with everyone as we move into November that'll be a surprise for Juliet fans, but I'll have to spoiler warn everyone it's related to her first route episode content. ^^"

~Closing Statements~

Once again, thank you everyone for being super patient with us along the way. I hope we match everyone's expectations on the upcoming content release around the corner and blow some expectations out of the water if possible!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone, stay safe!
