Update - So that's how Shizu's tail is attached (Patreon)

tl;dr - No conclusions yet on that bug fix from last week and I'm getting back to work on the Shizu ending now.

This week's images

I've shown you before that Shizu has a new kitty costume... well, the tail had to fit somewhere, didn't it? These poses are actually going to be quite important in the scene, because I'm going to be using them for other variations which I might show next week, because those are fun in their own right.

These poses are actually using some quite fancy visual tricks to make them work, which might not be obvious at first glance. Hopefully you can't even tell what I've done and it looks like a normal pose!

Also, these are upscaled, of course, so click on them if you want them to be less blurry and more detailed.

Still not sure about that bug

I've only got one reply about the new "now loading" bug fix so far and the news wasn't completely great; one crash was reported, which might suggest that the "fix" isn't a perfect one. However, I remain somewhat hopeful that it could do some good in making the game stable. 

I'll put out the upcoming releases with this fix in place and see how it goes, since I think at a minimum it's not likely to hurt anything. I probably won't get any real sense of feedback about it from that, though, unless I just stop getting people mentioning the bug.

Getting back to work on the Shizu ending

My plan this week is to get a nice chunk of the Shizu ending made, but we'll see. I think I'm a bit behind schedule on that and there's a few extra elements I might need to make it work, so there's a small chance I might have to pivot to different, quicker-to-finish stuff for this month's release, but I'd rather not.

Are you interested in the Shizu ending? Can you guess what visual trickery I might have used to make the poses above work? Let me know in the comments!
