2B, Tifa & Aerith for True Facials v0.4 and my status! (Patreon)

Hey everyone!
2B and Tifa join Aerith in this release, along with many bug fixes and tweaks. Please refer to the release posts for your download link!
As for me, before my hiatus things was going well. Patreon support was growing and though there was stressful periods, I managed to pushed through. Then a number of unexpected events took me out of action.
The pandemic was troublesome, but the underlying fatigue and my own personal life also hit hard. I thought I would be occupied for a short while, but things just kept spiraling out of control. Eventually I came back with fresh eyes, and there was a few problems.
- The game didn't look great.
- The workload was dead heavy.
- I feel terrible returning after so long with nothing to show for it.
I needed to fix this, and that means solving several hard technical problems (mainly rendering and automation). I'm happy that it did, but TF simply wasn't meant to become a big project, it started as a simple fluid sim test (v0.1).
I had a hard time, months and months of grueling work, full of frustration and anxiety. So many parts of this has never been done before (by anyone), and it took several failures for anything to start working. Somehow, everything did come together.
All in all, v0.4 took longer than the rest combined.
It was worth it for me, not just because development can continue more smoothly. Personally, I love these girls, they deserve to look as beautiful and feel as real as possible. Every girls benefit from these improvements too, so Elizabeth, Lara... and future girls will look and feel much better too.
Many thanks to everyone on Discord for helping me fix the crash that would have made this a very disappointing release. For now, I'll try to get some rest while working out Patreon polls, commissions and so on so you can play with your girls in the new version too!
Thank you for your patience and support!
