Since it's been a while, let me give you one last progress report for the 0.04 patch.
For full transparency, this is what still needs to be done before the release.
All the script and around ~90% of the renders are done and dusted.
I save the most time-consuming work—the animation and rendering of the H-scenes—for last, and I'm thrilled to announce that I've just completed the first of two! And yes, there will be two H-scenes in this update. Might I even be so bold to state that this is some of my greatest work yet?
Which means all that's left to do is the spicy stuff in the last scene. Then I just have to put it all together in the game engine, some fine tuning and tweaks in the script and then it's time for release!
I also want to take some time and explain why this update has been taking so long. Can you imagine that this was originally supposed to be a small and quick update, crazy I know, well the opposite ended up happening. As work started on 0.04 I kept on just getting creative sparks, adding more dialogue and depth to the scenes as well as just adding full on scenes and even an extra H-scene.
And now the 0.04 patch will now end up being bigger than 0.03, more renders, scenes everything.
I know it isn't the first time, but I want to apologize again for the long wait, but I hope the love sweat and tears I've put into this update will show in the quality and somewhat make up for the wait.
- Future updates, starting with version 0.05, will be smaller and more frequent. Extended periods with no new content, such as in 0.03 and 0.04, are not pleasant for anyone. So all future patches will be somewhere in the size of 400/500 renders and I'll always try to include at least one H-scene with every patch. For real this time, no more long drawn out updates.
Also, please let me know in the comments/discord chat if you prefer longer updates with more dev time or shorter but more frequent. I really want to hear your opinion on this!
- I'm also planning to add a progress bar post that will be pinned on the Patreon, letting you see how far future updates have progressed! Every time I make notable progress with script, scenes, coding, I'll update the progress. Making it simpler for you to monitor the progress made on the game.
I'll send out a spicy sneak peek at my Patreon in the upcoming days, so stay tuned for that.
That's all for now! Love you all and thank you for the support, all of you! Have a great rest of your week and see you soon with the new update!
