Hey, everyone. Here I am.
I've finished writing the script for the new update and it's a long one. At 61,463 words, it's the yappiest update yet.
Unfortunately, I had a lot of creative difficulties and motivational issues writing this update. It's been far rougher for me than it was in the past, I've written almost the whole thing in a different headspace than I did for the previous episodes and I think I pushed myself to write when I wasn't really feeling it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned about that, I hope the writing doesn't come off as too unfocused. Again, this update is more relationship/character-focused. There's some nice development between the MC and the others, and another relationship becoming rockier than it was before.
4 lewd scenes await in this episode. Some sweet, some kinky, some both. Sadly, I had to push some content into the next update, which is particularly disappointing for me as there were some things I really wanted to show off. Plot developments and especially a certain lewd scene. This is a symptom of the earlier issues I alluded to regarding my own focus. The pacing of this update didn't need to be as slow as it is, but I hope it's still an entertaining journey.
Regardless of the potential shortcomings in the writing, I still plan on dazzling you with my loveable characters, rich visuals, and detailed animations. And despite my funny feelings not being the heeheehaha kind, I've still tried to squeeze in some goofy moments that you all seem to care so much about.
I have a clearer mind about the next update which will hopefully pull us back on track. There will be more thrills, more questions, more plot. It's kinda weird to be excited about the next two updates but whatever.
I still have work to do. While fully written, I'm not finished rendering. Development has and will be a little slower than last update I think, but comparatively it's still quite close. I regret that I'm currently not confident enough to give a release date prediction, though don't expect the game to be released in October barring a miracle. I'm sorry, I'm trying my best. But I never stopped and won't stop working.
I hope you all appreciate the good news. Now I need to get back to work. Consider becoming a supporter if you want more detailed and frequent updates on the state of the game. I'm not sure if and when I'll give another public status update before the update is finalized.
This year hasn't been kind to me. Let's try to end it on a high.
