Another chapter 5 update

Hey all! Storm here, just dropping in to give you all a progress report.

We are very nearly finished with the 6th ending (out of 11) for chapter 5. I should have the final script done for Slockie in the next few days, and then I'll be moving on to the last of the solo endings. In total, the script for chapter 5 is just over 35,000 words long so far.

Things have picked up a bit for us in terms of productivity these past couple of weeks. There was about a month there where I was fighting some pretty fierce headaches (brought on by something called "cervical spinal stenosis" - I'll spare you the details, but it's about as fun as it sounds). That ground my ability to write down to almost nothing, but over the past couple of weeks I've been able to get that moderately under control, to the point that the more severe headaches are less frequent and the less severe headaches are more manageable.

I'm hoping to be able to knock out an ending every few weeks or so up until we wrap things up entirely. We've also come up with some ideas for bonus materials or epilogues that we'll release later on, either to give you a little more of certain stories that perhaps wasn't necessary for an ending, or to further explore some potentially fun stuff that one ending or another could lead to. However, since those won't be part of the main game itself, it shouldn't add extra time to the development schedule.

However, with that all in mind, the last 5 endings we need to craft are all multi-girl endings, and each of them might end up being slightly more difficult on Slockie to render (the more figures in a scene, the more work it is), so while I might be knocking out endings every few weeks, he might need slightly longer to properly pose and render them. We'll see how that goes as we progress.

That's about it! We appreciate your patience as we work on this final chapter, and we hope it'll be worth the wait!
