A Message about the 0.24 Release (Patreon)

Hi, before I drop the Alpha 0.24 release for the $10+ Patrons, I would like to make a note or just explain what you can expect from this release. I wouldn't normally make this but I want to be as transparent with you as possible so that you won't get a shock.

TL;DR - There are quite a bunch of new stuff and new scenes but there are also a lot of new scenes with either temporary art or no art, just descriptive narration, and some scenes with no sprites. This is due to having a writer, a programmer, but no secondary artist to help produce the mass amount of stuff the others are pumping out.

It has been about 4 months since the release of Alpha 0.23 and A Team Uncovered, consisting of Roberto (writer), Epadder (programmer), and I have checked many things off the list of things that we wanted to get done. 

We finished many scenes that weren't complete but we also wrote and coded in scenes that's assets are yet to be done. Not only that but we refined many things, and added some new stuff in the mix.

4 months is quite a long wait and although we could have kept going and held off the release until it was ready-ready. I decided to put a checkpoint to this version to show the amount of progress that's been and being made.

The main story is what we were focusing on, as well as the rest of Jane's story. The main story is a challenge to write. It is quite the bitch to write if I'm being honest. But we decided it's best for the project if we are able to put a bow on the main story and get it out of the way. It'd be best to try and complete all open-ended story lines before opening up new ones for many many reasons.

It was during the revising stage of the main story that I realised that there's a lot of down time when it comes to sex scenes in the main story, which is why I've only recently introduced the fortnightly sex scene, to compensate for that.

Furthermore, it's only been in the past week that I've decided to scout for a new artist, one that can mimic the art style as close as possible. So far, we've gone through 13 artists, 3 have bailed, and only 1 has managed to get somewhat close but not perfect. 

Apparently, it's a lot harder and a more of a convoluted style to mimic than what that they had anticipated, who knew? So because of that, we weren't able to put them to use for this version. Worry-less, I will pile them with loads of needing-to-be-done art assets for 0.25.

So, in conclusion, if you're one that wants to play this version, know that it's a lot of main story writing content, completing Jane's storyline, finishing off some scene assets, and a lot of temporary art until I get the new artist to take care of them for me.

Also, for 0.25, we plan on only have a 2 month gap in between this release and that release (Mid-October). It's an extension of our original 'every 4-6 week release but not too long where you start to wonder whether we're dead at month 3. 

Some of you guys believe that it should be released when "it's ready" but it'll be a long-long way before it's ready and by then, we'll have 1 patron pledging $1 and that's not a viable means of working on this. You have the choice to play it or wait for a few more versions.

I will leave off with the changelog so you can actually see what's been done and you can decide when to play.
