Progress Report #1 (Patreon)

Hi, this report will focus on what I’m missing in order to work on the next update rather than on giving percentage numbers that don’t have much value on their own.

Music: I’m waiting for one music track which should hopefully be done by the end of next week. There are no problems on that front.

CGs: There’s one minor CG that I’m waiting for, but it should be done by tomorrow or the day after.

Sprite: This is where the problem lies. My sprite artist who was working on the sketch of one of the two main male characters that I’m introducing in the next update has gone completely silent on me. It’s been two weeks since he last contacted me, and I’m really starting to worry. I don’t think he’s the kind of guy who would just up and quit in the middle of a job, and it wouldn’t make much sense since he’d made a lot of progress with the sketch, so I just hope he’s alright. I’ve slowly started contacting other artists that I worked with while optimistically waiting for an answer on his part, but in a couple of days I will have to start looking more aggressively for his replacement.

Usually, I should be able to release an update before the end of next month, but with my sprite artist missing, things have become kinda uncertain. If I realize I won’t be able to put my hands on the sprites before the end of next month, I’ll just make a poll about whether to release the update without the sprites or not. Those sprites are not that important (since they are male sprites), but they would still make the experience feel more ‘complete.’ Hopefully though, it won’t have to come to that.

The next update should be around 13k and 17k words. I also hired a proofreader, so that’s that.
