December 27 Update (Patreon)

First up, check out the image! That was Nomo's Christmas present to me, just a fun look at Yarra. I thought it was too good not to share. ^-^

You guys overwhelmingly told me to take a break, so I have been taking things easier for a while. Which doesn't mean I'm not working on the game, I'm just working as inspiration takes me.

Most of the dialogue and events for the reunion are finished. It's very rewarding stuff for me to write, so many characters meeting after so long. It's been five months in real time since everyone was together, so I hope this will be a satisfying section.

Another thing I've been doing is fiddling with investment plans. I have a huge spreadsheet that outlines each investment over the course of the game, but it needs some tweaking. Though I mostly stick to my plans, sometimes the game needs to grow a little, and this is one of those times. My main consideration is making your choices important enough to matter, but not so important that there aren't real choices or substantial content is locked away. Maybe it won't be in the upcoming update, but soon you can expect to get your full returns and begin another round of investments.

There will also be some general improvements and redesigns. $10 backers, be sure not to miss the thread regarding Simon's skills, which I should post shortly.

I can't say how early in January you should expect an update. What's left is a few new maps, some sex scenes, implementing the investments, and a bunch of miscellaneous fixes. I'm making steady progress, but a lot of those are kind of unknown variables as far as time required.

I hope everyone has had a good year. I'll see you in 2016! ^-^
