Dev update - 11 Feb. 2024 (Patreon)

The first monthly "cycle" is now done and we are moving into the second. As of yesterday, we have:

• Released the "alpha" version of v. 0.1.1 to Patrons over $5 one week early
• Released the "Final" / public version of v. 0.1.1
• Published the walkthrough of v. 0.1.1 for Patrons over $9
• Completed the "Path Poll" for February (Patrons over $9): The winner was "Wife Cheating" 
• Completed the "Scene Poll" for February (Patrons over $19): The winner was "Wife hooks up with Shaun (Gym guy)" --- This should be fun for everyone!

I ended up a little bit behind schedule and February has fewer days, so I will be focused entirely on the next update of In Their Own Hands this month. As long as I am able to get back on schedule this month, I will be back to working on In Her Own Hands in March.

The short month of February also affects the monthly schedule. In order to get back on track for March, I will attempt to meet the following timeline:

• 22 Feb.: Early, alpha release
• 29 Feb.: Public, final release & complete walkthrough
• 1-5 Mar.: Path Poll active
• 5-9 Mar.: Scene Poll active

Ideally, if I stick to this timeline, it should give me the first week or so in March, while awaiting the poll results, to work on In Her Own Hands.

As always, please let me know as soon as possible if you encounter any bugs. I am aware of an issue when playing from an old save. I will continue to add more text to some of the existing scenes and possibly make additional adjustments early in the game. So I will likely make it more explicit that old saves won't work. In the future I won't have to do this. There is some code I can use that will automatically update old save files with any missing variables that have been added. In this case, it will be recommended in order to ensure that everyone is getting the full story from the beginning.

That's all for now!

Thanks again for your support!
