Some info for December (Patreon)

Hi, Keo here!

Foremost, I wanted to thank you all for believing in us! We're just €1 shy of our first goal, and  I thought I could share some updates on what's going on (this is more of a behind-the-scenes thing than a proper announcement). 

In the latest update we've reached the point of route selection. With the amount of routes we have we decided that it would be unreasonable to have updates dedicated solely to one character, and so depending on the month some updates will have new content for all of the routes, some for only a few specific ones. 

The next update will reach the end of Day 1, and so it is a pretty important one. Ideally, I hoped that we will have expressions implemented for sprites by then, but currently that seems rather unlikely for December, especially with how busy this month always is. Another thing I'm considering is finding someone who could implement a custom UI for us, but I haven't got to that yet. We also want to launch a FurAffinity page to coincide with this update, possibly implement an in-game gallery... it's safe to say that we have ambitious plans!

All in all, this is a lot of work, so likely what we are going to split the content that we planned for this update into two and first have a smaller release in the end of December that would have new content for two routes, and a bigger one in January. 

On the bright side, I've already commissioned two CGs from Tintiai for the upcoming update, and hopefully they both will be ready in December. hq is drawing a new chibi for redesigned Mikko that will be swapped with the current one over at our itch.io page. I'm also currently discussing things with a possible second writer that expressed interest in working with us. This month I plan on doing less writing as there is a lot to coordinate and discuss, so it would be a huge help for me.

Likely in a next few days I will create a poll asking you which of the characters you would like us to focus on in this smaller December update.
