Hey there! If you're not following the news on my Patreon, last Sunday, I've published a public post to recap what I've been able to do so far.

I've posted a preview on DeviantArt of what I've been cooking these last 2 days:

As I've started working on the actual meaty NSFW FMG animations, I have to accept the reality that support for the project has been dwindling over time, and it's at a point where I have a hard time justifying the time spent on it.
The main reason for the drop in support, of course, is that I still have to release a single update, and I've been working hard to make sure that the first one was decent enough (with new locations, new characters, new dialogues, entirely remade FMG sequence with Elena...). But it takes time, and I didn't make it easy for myself by aiming for quality over quantity and animations, nor was it an easy choice to decide to re-do all of the existing Chapter 1. I still think those choices can/will pay-off in the future, though.
However, there is a possibility that I totally fail at making enough money to pay my bills at the end of June, in which case I will probably give up on my plans, close the Patreon down, and finish the first update of the VN on my own time after switching the game to free on Itch.
Your support on Patreon is the only thing that can delay or entirely prevent that dire fate.
Best case scenario: if Patreon support increases. I keep going, I finish the first update, then I get to work on the next update, likely at a faster pace than the first since some prep-work has already been done for it, etc.
Eitherway, I will release what I've been working on to the world.
What's also possible is that I may release very soon the first update, without all the animations, then I will make a supplementary update with the animations, just so that the more impatient people can see that I'm not twiddling my thumbs.
Let me know what you think!
