Or it'll get the hose! (Patreon)

Hey folks! That one thing which always seems so incredibly far away at the start of a book is happening. We're working on the last build to close out this route and with that finish book 3. I've kinda, sorta put in the last art needed for a book 3!
I say sorta because the coder has already made some suggestions for extras which I'll need to work on.... so I'm not done... at all. Even so, All the semen has been handed out to all the girls who were supposed to get some from just the art side of things. Some more character art for a split second appearance has been made and just in general most of what the coder will need has already been sent his way, be it temp or finished art.
Btw. the coder was really pleased with some of the new scenes. His favorite among the bunch I sent over was kinda unexpected to me since it was the one which troubled me the most. Actually when I started writing this update I all of a sudden remembered there was still some stuff in the last part of the maze which I hadn't done yet either so I spent an extra day on that as well. So despite not being done it still sorta feels like being done.
This will be the conclusion to book3 so we have a strong urge to keep ramming in new stuff. We want to make it awesome and we have about 9 new unique scenes so yeah, that's going to take some time. Prepare your heart for us taking longer than a month... well that's hardly news. But still this is going to be one of those builds were we can only say it'll be done when it's done. We'll do our best to keep it reasonable and we want you guys to see what we're working on rather sooner than later. but don't expect it to be done in a month.
In the meanwhile I'll start watching the Korra cartoon from the start again.
I'm taking screenshots, practice sketching the new characters, putting forgotten info back into my memory etc. It's the kind of stuff which will indirectly benefit book 4 when we'll get into full swing on that. That's still a ways off so don't let that get you too excited, but it's just the stuff I do on the side. My main work is still making sure whatever new stuff the coder wants from me gets done and in the meantime I'll also see if I can help him out by streamlining some existing stuff we somehow never got around to tackle.
I'll give you an example. Today I've been taking a look at the cup and dice scam games. When you have to choose the left, right or middle cup during the cup scam game you pick it from a menu and that... well, that feels a bit clunky to be honest. I'm pretty certain most of you will agree with me on that. Just clicking on the cup itself would be a far nicer way of doing it.
That's something we felt from the start and it was mentioned as a point of possible improvement in some of the comments too. However there's rarely a moment where we don't have something else to do which is in more need of attention so small things like that get put on the backburner and stay there for a crazy long time.
Right now however is a good opportunity for me to revisit all those little things and see what I can do about it. Hopefully without making the game come crashing down so I'll have to tread very carefully as not to mess up the coder's work.
It's these little things which suck up a lot of the time, but also give me a real sense of accomplishment when I can get them working.
If there's anything else in the book which you feel needs that bit of extra attention don't be shy and tell us about it. I don't want the coder to look at them right now, since he has his hands full creating the closing build of book3, but I can at least compile possible problems and their solutions.
So with that said, I'll be back at doing what feels like ten things at the same time. And I'll need to prepare the hose.
To deal with ... something...
I can't deny it. Korra awakens the sadist within me like no other character ever has. I will need a lot of supervision from the coder to deal with her during the love route ; )
Till next time! Right now I'll go check on our pm's/comments etc.
