March wallpapers and progress update (Patreon)

This month's wallpapers, specifically the SFW set, are here to introduce a few more characters to you.

This set also serves as a redemption for last month's particularly lazy set of wallpapers. Which I made in a fit of impatience because I was busy working on the game.

These renders are very nice looking, if I say so myself. And while I know I say this a lot, the Vineeta introductory wallpaper is the best looking render I've done.

Additionally I've attached the above render in 8K for anyone to download, as I consider it a promotional render.

I'm writing this up on the morning of the 28th before doing the rendering today. By the end of the day I plan to have finished rendering chapter 9. Seeing as Episode 1 is 11 chapters long, I can confidently say that writing and rendering will be finished this month, with a very high chance of scoring being complete by then as well.

For those of you that haven't been reading my Discord announcements: I have been summoned for jury duty this month. Which is an unfortunate act of God I'd rather avoid having to face.

Where progress gets blurry is in regards to the additional features I would like to add to the game, including a lore codex, and a large UI overhaul. I don't think I can get these done this month, which means I will probably postpone these things for a later version of the game, possibly as a hotfix.

Closer to the game's completion, I may host a poll asking you how I should handle this, be it releasing the game with these features missing, or further delaying the game for a more polished, complete release.

I am unhappy with the fact that I have to face this dichotomy of releasing the game punctually or polished, but there's not much I can do about it either way.
