Dev Update 22/06/2019 (Patreon)

Update time.

The artist search is still in progress. I got at least one promising sketch (and some... less promising work). By next week's update I should have all the results in hand and have either a new artist, or another round of audition commissions to report on. It's a slow process but it's now at the point where it's easy to run concurrently with regular work so it's not a huge time sink.

Speaking of regular work, I spent this week working on the large(ish) scene leading up to the games finale. It was a lot of fun to write, as is usually the case for scenes with the old man :). There are still at least three scenes left to write to close out all the minor variations of the ending. My target for the entire endings task is the end of June, so far that's looking doable despite the delays.

Now, in a classic example of first world problems, I'm being sent on a weeklong business trip on July, which, you know, awesome, but I have a sneaking suspicion that writing sex scenes on the company laptop isn't the best idea. So it's likely to cause another delay in the work. It's a few weeks off in the future so its impact on the release date remains to be seen. But as usual in the interest of transparency I thought I'd let you know what's going on.

As the plan stands right now, the next version is scheduled for release at the end of July. Naturally, I will update if all of the above forces me to change that.

Have a great week!
