Dev Update 14th November (Patreon)

Hi folks,

Just to keep everyone in the loop.  Work on the re-do is going well, although I am spending a LOT of time on art, rather than re-writing as there is just too much work for a single artist so I'm working with Cell in the art department. This is our last shot at this and we'll never work on those early episodes again, so we want to get it right.  I'm probably being a bit fussy, but we are re-doing some of our already previously re-done art as there was some stuff which I wasn't 100% happy with.  We've also added quite a few animations so far (with some help from a really good animator sub-contractor) and have added a LOT of extra images / content in addition to just re-doing the old stuff.  At this stage, we have completed a first pass on the artwork for episodes 1-9 (minus some animations and the model agency Wanda/Angel scene).  This is a first pass on the art, so will still require some error correction and post-work (photoshop work, etc.).  As mentioned previously we have extended a few scenes and plan on adding a few extra ones, namely extra solo time with some of the of the girls. We have also decided that the re-do Season 1 will cover episodes 1-10, not 1-9 as previously planned.

For anyone thinking about renewing for next month or curious as to what the plans are, I would stress that I foresee the vast majority of our time this month and next month working on the re-do, so if you have no interest in the re-do, then please feel free to drop your subscription. I'd rather lose Patrons than have unhappy / disgruntled people spending their hard earned money on a Dev who may not be focusing on their area of interest (Re-do, rather than episode 25).  

I am aiming to get Season 1 onto Steam (and here on Patreon) before jumping back full-time on episode 25, although I am spending a small bit of time jotting down ideas / script for episode 25, but that's really to ensure everything stays fresh in my head off the back of episode 24. I don't want to project too far into the future regarding commitments and timelines as it is difficult to predict anything (And I always under-call it), so as we draw closer to the end of this month, I'll let people know exactly where things stand and what the focus will be in December (and how close we are to finishing the re-do season 1), so you can make informed decisions about cancelling / renewing pledges.

This weekend, I'll post a detailed blow-by-blow of the re-do process and will share a lot of sample images.

As always, questions and comments below or send me a DM,

Thanks,

CG
