Dev update #157 (Patreon)

Hi!

The Ep5_1 release is mostly behind us - except for the $1 Patrons release still pending - so please keep the comments spoiler-free. This release was a tough one for me, probably one of the hardest I've ever done (though not as bad as Deliverance Ch.1), but it left its mark. On the bright side, I’m now settled into my new office, which is finally up and running after weeks of hard work! The best part? I now have 1 Gbit/s Internet with ~40MB upload speed, compared to the painful 2MB before. So, if any errors creep in, I can upload fixed versions (4 x 5GB files) in just a few minutes.

Looking ahead, I’m already planning the next episode and writing some scenes. I’ll keep at it for a bit, but if the writing starts to wear me out (which it probably will), I’ll switch gears to environment prepping. This episode kicks off with a bang—I'll need ten or more new locations, each has to be fully textured and lit, so there's a massive amount of work ahead. But I'm motivated, and with the new office setup, I’m pushing harder than ever to get Season 2 on Steam as quickly as possible - without sacrificing quality, of course.

A big thank you to all the new Patrons for joining, and a warm welcome back to the veterans! Your support means the world to me.

Take care!
