An update on v0.05 and the comics. (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update on the state of v0.05 and the comics.

V0.05 has been... complex to say the least, I have started work on the 'inner ki' of Seiko, Michael and Tomo which shall give some backstory into their characters and each is a mini-dungeon in itself (with Michael's being a bit larger). If Seiko  is tethered to Tomo then you shall get access to all of the dungeons, however, if Tomo is tethered to Michael there shall be more gains in affection which shall affect future scenes. Seiko's content in this update shall be seen in an alternate interaction if you chose to tether Michael to Tomo, it shall be just a bit later in the game from v0.05's content.

It is another ambitious update that has been taking up all of my free time lately (including weekends) and to be frank, I need a break, I'm getting just a little burned out. 

I have been adding my own edited assets to the game, learning how to do new mechanics for this update and future ones AND trying to figure out a way around the FPS refresh issue in RPG Maker. For those who don't know; the FPS of the game is tied to the refresh rate of whatever monitor is being used, so if you have a 144hz monitor the game shall run at over double speed. I have a plugin to control this, but it doesn't fix the 'internal clock' of the game, so the characters run normally but your play time shall show over double what it actually is, so I am looking at ways to fix this without ruining the system I have right now. This is an issue as I am thinking of a dungeon which has a timer, if the timer runs out there shall be feminizing consequences for Michael and if it ticks at double the rate for some players then it shall ruin the entire puzzle.

So I am now aiming to get the game out by the end of May. Just to make sure everything is working alright and because it takes so much time to make maps now. I am happy with the way they look, but it can take 8-10 hours just to do one! On a more personal note, my dear papa's birthday is on the 23rd and I don't want to be stressing about getting this update out prematurely and getting dozens of messages about bugs and whatnot (I'm looking at you v0.04!) and seeing as though it is his retirement birthday I REALLY don't want to be stressed around this time.

Now onto the comics!

I am planning on getting chapter two of 'Requited Change' done by the end of this month and, if I have time, chapter two of 'Maid Different' completed too.

Thanks for your continued support, I know it isn't what you all were hoping to hear, but I can't wait to see your reactions to v0.05 when it is released! I'm happy with the way it is shaping up.

Take care and I'll talk to you all soon!
