Public Corporate Development Memo 9/29/2024

Hi everyone!

I decided it was about time to do a public post since I am about to turn the last corner for a final sprint to trying to finish the update.

First, the basic stats: (for those that are Patrons, you will understand the updated numbers from last week but for others just overall as of now)

Main Path (all see) 213 renders ---> 213 renders

Secret Sub Path 367 ---> 367

Dom Path: 1,246 ---> 1,310 (+64)

Sub Path: 1,203 ---> 1,269 (+66)

Total: 3,029 ---> 3,159 (+130)

I am going to take a full 1-2 days to not do anything - I just went through last week doing FY financials for every business I am involved in so it drained me quite a bit - either business or game related, and then October 1...kind of gear up for a hard push. I am likely to take a week off this month but I don't know the dates yet. I've got a winter trip later where I will plan to write Episode 8, Part 3 dialogue quite a bit, but obviously I want to have this update out before that time.

I am about where I thought I would be for the update from my long Patreon post about desired timelines, but I never know for sure until I get to the final editing and actually finish content scenes. Hopefully, I'm still on track :)

I am going to shift to doing only sub scenes (a bit over 5+ scenes left) until I now finish that path for the update before a final turn back to the dom path, and a likely final scene that all will see.

I have decided that most likely I am going to split Part 3 into smaller chunks (2 vs 1) to release, the amount of editing/tweaking I am facing is always daunting at such a large size and I'm rethinking this issue for next time. I think this next episode is uniquely ok to possibly split but we'll see. 

It was pretty hard for me to find public images that are ok but hopefully they all worked out.

I want to thank everyone for their patience and support. I know my updates are pretty long (another reason I might want to split the next one) for waiting, but I'm still working at the same pace as much as I can since the very beginning. I've gotten a lot busier too with business and now planning a bunch of RL stuff with getting married next year, so it's honestly harder to juggle it all, but managing it!

I'm also still proud that I've gone this long with basically never missing a weekly update give or take a day or so for RL issues.

I will keep working hard to try and get the update out for everyone to enjoy :)

Love,

Tess
