New ADV Build this month + Plans for early 2018 (Patreon)

Kind of a boring post here, but stuff should get more exciting again soon.

Happy new year and thanks for supporting the project! We've been working on improving the ADV after you guys' feedback through email and the Discord, there will be a new build nearing the end of Jan which will hopefully represent the final and completed ADV, save for some minor improvements. 

We're working on story content and finalizing the School Campus now, so it's our plan for builds in the near future to contain some actual story gameplay, so that people can experience the visual-novel side of the game.

We're also going to trial a change in how we operate on Patreon, just to see if it brings Virtual Novel any more exposure. Game play builds from now on will be Time Delayed to go public, which means non-Patrons will be able to play builds a couple weeks after we roll them out to Patrons. We're also going to be opening up a Guest section of our Discord, so if there's anyone interested in the project, but don't necessarily want to support us through Patreon, you can talk to us there and get more info about Virtual Novel's development. Guests won't be able to feature request or post in certain channels, but we thought it would be a good opportunity to talk to more people who are interested in Virtual Novel. 

For new Patrons who haven't joined the Discord yet, there'll be a private link after this post. Will post up a public link sometime soon for everyone else. 

We've started using Trello to keep track of our dev progress, such as features we're actively working on and features we want to implement. We'll be making the Trello public in the next week or so so that you guys can check out what we're doing too. 

That's it for now, thanks everyone for your support,

Love,

Devs
