Progress Update (Patreon)

As a promise to my team member, I have to post something. Anything. 

I don't think apologizing too much does any good anymore after such a long absence of communication. You all deserve better >_< So allow me to just skip to the progress update. 

We are currently working on the last (the 6th out of 6) Thrive Scene that we set to do. After the first round of completion, there will be more revising on the stories, as I feel this process can improve the quality by quite an amount. Pics attached to demonstrate the general idea of the scenes (some blurred out to comply with Patreon nonnude public post rule). These are not concepts. All animation/graphics have been completed (for the first round of completion that is), except for the 6th Thrive scene (for Oturo). I will share these crafts starting now. 

The support level has reached a dangerous level for some time now, as I am using my saving to continue the operation. It is my own fault for being negligent. Either way, we are all working on the project actively. Not one doubt in my mind that I would not commit to the end (some rumors even suggested I was dead ^O^). Though somehow in the 4th year of every project of mine (in the past and this one), I feel a little burned out on all those non-core related tasks, such as communication, marketing, community support, and even some business administrative tasks. I always seek to do some small-scope project that I could handle but ended up expanding to a monster that devours me and the people around me. All your ideas are precious and valuable, though at this point I have to say I have enough to play with. Right now I want to finish the things I set out to do. Therefore, translation, android/ios versions, and revising/adding game mechanics will all likely have to wait after the first completion of the game. 

On a good note, I happened to finish my previous two projects in the 5th year. So 2023 should be the year as the 5th is the charm! 

I might do a shorter, less organized progress update. They should be better than nothing still I feel.
