Mind Drop #19 (04/13/2021) (Patreon)

Yo!
It's been a pretty standard week and there's not much to talk about so this will be a rather short mind drop. 😊

Game / dev related stuff:

- Full day 9 release is still planned for this month.
Admittedly there's a lot of work left. I'm adding in a tiny scene to spice up another scene, I have three scenes left to write dialogue for, I have 800 something images left to edit, I have 20+ animations made that I still need to compile and convert, there's an extensive bug testing that needs to take place since I've changed quite a few things within my script, and many, many more tiny things that add up into the chaos.
And I still have to balance my work flow with the near constant strain in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, they're much better than they were but they haven't really gotten any better recently and I'm about to schedule yet another appointment.  
So yeah, still should be this month but I can't put an exact timetable on it as this side of the work is so hard to gauge exactly how long it will take and there's always a chance of something breaking or needing to be remade.

- No Alanah poll this week as I may have forgotten what day it was yesterday and forgot to make one. But it works out anyway since I've been laser focused on the update. 😁

Renders made this prior week:

New - 156 renders and 2 animations (and 1 remade animation)
Week 1 redo - 0 renders / animations. (Focus is on the newer content right now as I fell behind a few weeks because of my eye issue)

Personal related stuff:

- Nothing really to share again this week. But since there's a lot of new people around from this month alone I figure it's a good time to give a rundown of why the update schedule is in limbo as of late.
So real quick timeline of the bigger events of the last few months.
Found out I was going to be a dad, changed my entire release schedule, moved across states, and then had eye issues for multiple weeks.

Delays and all that certainly haven't been fun but they've been for good reasons. And I'll definitely take these sort of reasons for delays over what I went through last year. Everything besides my eye issue has been a super positive thing happening in my life and it certainly has changed a lot very quickly and sadly the game's schedule has taken a hit for it.
But I'm doing my best to do right by myself and family while also doing what's right for you guys so I've been pausing my pledges and being transparent about what is happening so I can't throw too many punches at myself over it. And you guys are about to get a 1000+ render update dropped on your head so while the situation has been shitty, I'm in a great place in my life and I'm excited about this update.
And I'm a super lucky fellow to have a community like this one that has had my back through it all. 😊


Yep, that's it for this week. Should have more concrete info for you guys next week.
I'll talk to you all then, love you and thank you guys <3

POLL: Not to spoil anything but there are many girl-girl relationships planned for WVM. (all optional) So, are you one who is down to share between the girls or are you one to keep them all for yourself? (there isn't a wrong answer)
