Development Corporate Memo # 4 (May 3, 2020)
Added 2020-05-03 20:14:25 +0000 UTCTO: My lovely Patrons
FROM: Grym Gudinna
SUBJECT: 5/3/2020 Development Update
Ok, I am getting a little more used to Patreon, and I think I am going to try and be doing development updates on Sundays because it kind of makes sense wrapping up the weekend. I may delay it to Monday if I am in a groove Sunday night and just feel like finishing what I am working on instead, but expect a Sunday/Monday type of schedule pretty consistently.
Ok, workload! As I have always said, I will try and be precise, but keep the following in mind:
Renders are not necessarily 100% done but usually they are basically done and require fairly little tweaking here and there, not a major workload problem with the rare render I might have to redo here and there if I discover a big mistake! (this happened to me with about 8-10 renders out of 450 or so for 0.1 in which I did entirely new renders)
First draft scripts are usually a little longer than the final product. I tend to write a little quickly and with a lot of extra words as I fly through it, and with editing I always cut it down. (cut down from 25k to 18.5k for 0.1)
Ok, here's the workload, and trying my best to be productive!
Up to May 3, 2020 (Workload Period 4/30 to 5/3)
Did a custom scene for my biggest Patron (7 images)
For Version 0.2 - 40 renders completed, approximately 2,100 words
Current Overall 0.2 Status - 40 renders, 2,100 words
I plan to do a little marketing here and there and see if I can get more exposure for the game, but other than that I should be able to get in a decent groove for 0.2!
Thank you!

2020-05-04 11:03:08 +0000 UTCWelcome Eldon, glad you liked it! The world/setting itself had to be stretched to something different from our present reality for the sake of the overall narrative, but yes, I am trying to create different characters with unique motivations/backstories. You will see later that the four sisters are very different even though certain similarities will also be there because of their upbringing. (for example none of the four would truly understand or empathize well with certain daily realities of a poor person) Thank you for your kind words and wishing me good luck! :)

2020-05-04 05:45:06 +0000 UTCHi! I just got on board, and this looks promising! Actually it was your swedish name that made me curious, and I am not normally interested in games that focus on domination....but then I played it! You really seem to have a back story thought out, not just some stupid excuse to put people in power play situations. And your characters has started to show some personality. If you let that grow (and avoid turning them into caricatures), then even I might find the power play interesting... Looking forward to seeing where this will go, Lycka till!
