About delays

Hi,

I'm sorry to not bring you the update today; it's still in the works and I'm still working on it.
The reason I'm writing this post is that you guys deserve an update, first of all: Thanks for waiting! I truly appreciate all the comments and feedback you guys give. It keeps me motivated to work on the project.

So; the problem has not been motivation or will. Rather just a lot of real life stuff happening all at once, which has left me drained of general energy. The way I recover sadly does not involve writing, since I generally focus very intensely whenever I write a chapter. It's generally a very in focus process for a week or two, and then a lot of time editing and fixing things, adding in images sound and whatnot. Without that energy I've instead been taking notes and polishing smaller parts while working on the game, as well as focusing on the code and planning.

I'm almost done with the "no energy" part of my life knock on wood, and the update has been progressing. I wanted to bring it out today, but it's simply not there.

So in short; I'm still alive, still working on the game. Still working on getting better on regular updates for you guys, but I value the story I want to tell too much to force something out. 

On better notes, one of the side effects is that this update is going to include some amazing art and music updates (by Camazule, of course!), a handful of amazingly drawn CGs by HugeCookie, character art by cheetah, a new character by HugeCookie, a new character by Ven and a lot of updated art assets with the help of Shin and the ever awesome Drakes, as well as a non-route specific amazing CG by the talented GigaSaddle (check out his VN here on itch, Pervader. It's one of my all time favorites!). This is not to mention the code improvements by Wattson. I'm sure I've forgotten even more improvements, but there'll be a changelog with the update.

With that said, I'll leave you with a song, and a promise to do my best to get the update to you soon.
