Ep2 Progress Report #39

Hi.

Just a quick reminder—as of today, the subscription for patrons is being unpaused. If anyone would like to send some of their money my way, I’d be extremely grateful.

Why am I bringing this up?

I need around $1000/month to cover my bills and have a bit left for basic necessities. $1000 is more than 200 Tier 2 patrons (the Patreon takes a cut), so I’m still quite a bit short of being able to support myself solely through working on WCgW.

If I could, I would set up a donation goal so potential supporters would know exactly where their money is going. Listen—if I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t be writing this, but the situation is forcing me.

Thanks to your financial support, I could focus on developing WCgW without the stress, which would significantly reduce the time between updates. I believe producing 250–300 renders a month is within my capabilities.

Now regarding the upcoming update.

Since the post I published on June 15, I’ve produced 380 renders—and that number really surprised me compared to how hard it used to be for me to create even a few renders per week (you know the reason).

Today I finished the event with Lana, and if it weren’t for the fact that I decided to add an event with Amanda as well, I could probably release Episode 2 Part 3 in just a few days.

So far, I’ve implemented about one-third of the content into Ren’Py and started testing parts of the code that have already been added. I’ve also started cleaning up and reorganizing the code to make it more readable—but I’m testing those changes on a separate copy of the game. Once I’m satisfied with the results, I’ll apply the changes to the original files.

Today I also managed to prepare the first renders featuring Amanda, so things are looking good.

That’s all. My next post should include detailed information about the upcoming update.
