Development Blog: Feb 22, 2018 (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I figured it's time I give you all a heads up on how the next update of Repeat is going. I've been planning to post development blogs on my Patreon every two weeks so I can keep y'all in the know, but real-life kept getting in the way. But hey, I'm doing it now! Better late than never, am I right? ;;w;;/

Progress so far:

So far in February, I've completed a total of 5 new character sprites, 3 for Sissel and 2 for Hershel. As you can probably guess, the next update is going to be featuring Sissel's route again.

As for the writing, it's been going rather slow unfortunately. It's currently midterm season here at my university so I'm pretty much spending every waking moment stressing about my next assignment (Not to mention how February is a rather short month :/) . But worry not! I've already written around 10 pages for the next update with more coming, and progress is going pretty smoothly. However, due to some events and real-life obligations going on in the coming weeks, Repeat 0.5.7 is going to be released on the week of March 5th, which is about a week's delay. Sorry about that guys! qwq

Another announcement is that I've finally discovered time in my hectic schedule to sketch/make progress on the Repeat comic! i.e. I took my portable tablet into my lecture classes and drew furry art while my professor rambled for 4 hours. My friends were giving me the "look" when they saw furry shit on my screen. The things I do for you guys >:U  Anywho, while progress will be slow, the Repeat comic is back in the oven!

Plans for future updates:

I know a lot of you have been asking for more content for Phillip's route, and I'm happy to say that the outline for the first few days of his route is complete! The only issue is that it require a lot of new art, especially for a new character that'll be introduced, which means it'll take a bit of time to make while I'm juggling Sissel's route at the moment. I think you can all expect the first day of Phillip's route to be adding alongside a Sissel update sometime in Repeat 0.6.0. I'll be sure to keep ya'll posted with concept art and news!

And last but not least, I'm planning to go back to the beginning of Repeat and rewrite a few scenes, as well as adding art to a few character introductions. In the beginning of Repeat, readers don't really get the impression that there'll be a lot of CG art added to accompany the story, so I want to fix that. That rainbow-Owen drawing that you've seen floating around my social media will be used in this. There are also a fair few plotholes hanging about that I need to fix (ex. Phillip mentioning his "parents" when he only has a single mom). And simply put, there are a few scenes that I feel are just plain boring and need a bit of rewriting. 

One more announcement! I'll be attending the Anthro New England convention this weekend! I'm a social wreck at large events like this, but I hope to see some of you there! If you spot an idiot wearing this badge, feel free to say hi! :D

Alrighty, let me know what you guys think and if you have any concerns! Also, what do you think about the new Development Blog format? Should I make more of these in the future? Anything in particular you want to be added in the blogs? I may not reply to everything, but I do read everything you guys send to me, so any feedback is appreciated!
