I got close, but there is more time needed (Patreon)

Good morning,

It's now past midnight here and since I'm starting to feel the weight of the day it's time to give up on my hopes on finishing the update tonight and write this report instead.

This isn't the report I wanted to write... the goal was to finish the update and write the report afterwards, then falling asleep and feel good that the update is done.
I got damn close to finishing it, but the last events that were needed for this update to have at least some meaningful content are still missing. At this point that means at least 4 hours of worktime + time for testing, too much for tonight.

So, what did I do over the past week? I've made 2 new rooms in Daz3d for scenes inside the monastery. After that I made 5 new animations for Mira + transitions and implemented them. Then I finally began working on the events/dialogues. There was also a transition needed from Arenfield to the monastery for which I needed more character sprites. After that was finally done (+ a new daily cycle for an npc) I wrote the dialogues at the church to continue the story. For future playthroughs there will be a 1 week wait timer before pater Francis gets word from the monastery, on old saves which are already past that point, the quest will continue the next time you visit Arenfield.
Today I then worked on Introduction dialogues at the monastery. Now I needed to update daily cycles for all characters at the monastery. I decided to leave most characters who don't have actual content in this update out of the cycles for now to focus on the event for Mira. Still that meant updating hers and Aidalin's positions, otherwise they would disappear as if they were still in Arenfield. After that was done I continued further with the quest up to the point where only the sex event with Mira is now missing. This of course means putting the events together + write a dialogue for the scene... and that's where I am right now. I got close, but writing this scene now is impossible in my current state.
There is also a followup event which I want to put into this update as weel. It is caused by a certain decision the player can make at the monastery. This will again have an inpact on the story and of course mean more work... But without some decisions and branches forking from them it would be boring. And no this time it's not a "you get ntr or not" decision.

I'm sorry I couldn't finish the update today. Predicting a deadline for an update is something I really struggle with. Once again, this shows that I need to get better with it, because raising false hopes isn't something I want to do.

For now I wish you all a nice weekend,
I will continue working on Monday and release this update as soon as the last events are completed.
