Progress Report (Patreon)

Alright! I actually meant to get this out last night, so sorry about that. That said, let's dive right in...

Left Hand Magic

I hit a bit of a slowdown on this, but it's nothing serious. I've got the first day of Arianna's Event 5 done and I've started on Day 2. I expect to finish Day 2 tonight/tomorrow morning. After that, I'll switch over to getting Renpy up and running again before anything else. Depending on how that goes, I may redo a couple of old animations while I'm working on the writing/coding. Currently, I'm expecting this to be an on time release unless something else goes wrong this month.

Mixed Media Short

The renders for Cara Loft 3 are done, and I'm going to spend the next hour or so post-processing them. I'll start on the writing for it later today/tomorrow, with release likely being on the 25th. Right about at the usual time, honestly.

Short Story

Okay, so this one is the bad news. I'm officially delaying Starship Promise until May. It will be one of the very first things I do in May, and will take the place of May's second short story (there will still be a new Story Poll, for another story to update next month). I hate doing this, but the SSD failing on me earlier this month was just too much to recover from and still get the entire month of rewards in. The Short Story was the most logical thing to cut, particularly since I can still get it out next month by simply rearranging things there.

To be honest, if this was any other story, I might have tried to squeeze it into my remaining time this month. Unfortunately, Starship Promise specifically always comes with a render or two. Which makes it the highest time cost of any of the short stories. That's what finally made me call it and say 'no, this just isn't feasible this month.' Sorry folks. It bothers me a lot to have to delay rewards, but a hard drive failing on me and causing multiple days of lost productivity isn't the sort of thing I can account for or predict...

Wallpapers

I finally got around to the post-processing and typesetting on these. I'll publish them tonight.
