New VA, Merch Drop 3, & More!

Hey friends, it's Bowser!

Got another rapid-fire, multitopic, action-packed dev log for you!

First and foremost I have found a VA for our newest character, Hayley! They go by UB or Enbiety, and I can't wait for you to hear their voice :3. This means that auditions for Hayley's role are over. Thank you to everyone who auditions or spread the word. It means so much to me 💖.

Next, Merch Drop 3 is here! We're offering the same packs as last time plus a brand new one for pride! It's on Patreon only and US shipping address is required. CLICK HERE to sign up today. Merch Drop 3 will end on July 1 and there are limited slots. Don't miss out!

Anthrocon is coming up, and Chord Progressions is making an appearance! I'm hosting two events. One is an FVN Fans & Creators Meet Up. I'm also hosting a panel, "What are Furry Visual Novels and How to Make Them"! If you're going to Anthrocon, I'd love to meet you there :3. If you're interested in purchasing merch and picking it up at Anthrocon, let me know! We can arrange something.

Now let's talk about Build 5. I've been able to get all the writing done! I'll be honest, there's a few times I was stumped during the writing process, but I think I've hobbled together something great that I hope you all will enjoy :3.

Next step is working on the final stages of editing. Then I'll take my lines to the voice actors and start integrating the script into RenPy. All the sprites and CG's are done, so we're on the home stretch!

I do not believe I'll be able to meet my goal of having Build 5 out to all Patrons before Anthrocon (July 4). I've been preoccupied with work (my two other jobs are keeping me very busy) and convention plans. I wish I could make more time to release the build earlier, but I don't think I can reasonably pull it off.

So, here's the new (tentative) schedule:

• I will do my damndest to get a review copy for Lydians (tier 3) before July. This will have all the art, most (if not all) the voice acting, there just might be some missing polish in the software department.
• Patreon final copy will drop in July, available to all tiers.
• Public version will drop late July or early August

Alright, that's all I have for you! Thanks for reading :>
