Chapter 4: Week 48 progress (Patreon)

Hey Homies,

This week had a few ups and downs but nothing too major so I'll go over them below.  The main time suck this week was when I decided I wanted to update Ren'py for some reason.  Ren'py is the engine that the game runs on, for any who don't know.  Of course, this made some of my coding mess up, so I decided to quickly run through the game to see if I could find any more errors.  This 'quick run' immediately turned into a full, in-depth playthrough trying to improve the overall quality of the earlier chapters.  So, that was what I ended up spending most of my week doing.

On the bright side, there was almost no code that messed up and I'm MUCH happier with the earlier chapters now!  I fixed A LOT of grammar, improved some dialogue, added more audio, and made as many other improvements as I could to what's already been released.  Don't worry, I still had time to dive into the new content as well and fully tested the first 2 scenes.  For the record though, a full playthrough would have happened eventually before release anyway. I'm a little OCD, so I wouldn't have released the new update without checking to see how the full experience was from the player's POV.

I'm going to make completing Chapter 4 my main priority this week.   After that, it should be smooth sailing until the update is ready to go!  I still don't have a firm release date in mind for the first half of chapter 4.  Honestly, even if I did, I know that as soon as I set a date, everything will start going wrong, so for now, I'm just gonna keep on working and I'll probably let everyone know a week in advance when the update is going to be released.

Also, I'm sorry about the lack of Patreon rewards lately, but I'm terrible with my socials.  I'm trying to get better and pay more attention to them, but it's an uphill struggle apparently.  Still, that's no excuse to forget about what I've promised.  So I'll be posting a poll early this week and another teaser (voted on in the aforementioned poll) on the weekend.  It ain't much, but It's a start.

That's all for today my homies!
Much love!
JB
