Dev Update #10 - Still Writing (Patreon)

Another week spent writing, but it was more productive. I did quite a bit of writing this week for what is shaping up to be a very large release. Short of anything being added to fill out the story (or possibly cut as we go through renders), we should have 68 scenes in total for Chapter 6. I have 21 scenes remaining to write. Once the writing is done and goes through a couple of reviews (which are usually fairly quick), that will leave adding sounds/music, some extra code, creating the new art assets needed, and the renders themselves. No ETA yet, but I can confidently say that I do not expect this to take anywhere near as long as it took between Chapters 4 and 5 (six months) to get Chapter 6 released, despite its massive size.

Chapter 6 is going to tie up a few smaller plot points, as well as introduce some interesting new characters and developments. I expect us to be locked into larger releases from here on out as I do not want to do releases that focus only on a couple of love interests while leaving the others out. I'm enjoying covering a good amount of ground for each release, even if it adds a few weeks to development time.

Other than writing, I have been looking towards the future again. I am planning a release on Steam at some point, though I'm not sure exactly when. After Chapter 6, I will have a very large VN, so time to see what options I have on Steam at that time.

That's it for me this week. The preview at the top is a new character that you'll meet in Chapter 6. Hopefully I'll be starting on renders in the near future, and can share some nice things there. Have a great weekend, everyone!
