Dev Update! 5/15/23 (Patreon)

Hey friends, hope everyone's doing well today!

Work continues on my end, and at the moment I've got roughly 265 images completed for the next installment. Just yesterday, $15+ patrons received a patch to update their game with some new content, to the tune of 220+ images. This contains the first 1/3 of the new updates, with content featuring Viola, Ashe, and Risa.

Now I just need to finish up Ashe's big date, and I'll be well on my way to having this update in the bag. Slowly but surely getting there! Unfortunately, putting together a new build of the game did take away from rendering time a bit, so things stalled out on that end over the weekend. Still, that's just time I save later. I learned a couple updates ago that trying to render everything, and then plug in 1000+ images all at once, was some real mind-numbing, tedious stuff. Also makes it way harder to check for broken images and such, than when I'm doing it in small chunks.

So, yeah! Good stuff. I'm not gonna lie, I'm super excited to be doing this Ashe-heavy update. For a character that was initially intended to be very minor, she's become one of my absolute favorites to write and render. I keep getting little ideas on where/how to expand the date, and it's way too tempting to pursue all of them. For the sake of expediency I'm trying to exercise some self-control, but it's not without difficulty.

As I don't have much in the way of more interesting news, I'll leave you with that for now! Once I have most of Ashe's date done I'll be setting a release date. Currently I'm still really aiming for the end of this month, but we'll see how things go. I really didn't expect the first part of the update to balloon to over 200 images, but here we are.

As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
