So, I'm plugging away at the minor scene pack. I've ended up making far more new locations than I had originally intended. So far, Faith's Apartment has been joined by both the Glory Corner, the above featured Indoor Beach, and a third room I'm only partially finished with.
I have no idea what all the new location building is going to do to the final numbers of new scenes. I'd originally wanted to make at least 10 for the mino scene pack. So far, if you count split variations (as in a scene splits into two or more options but is the same scene), I will have made 7. If you don't count the varations as seperate scenes, only 4. I've got at least two more planned, and loose ideas for other options. Since I'm planning to release it for the $5+ Patrons on the 3rd(when the first update will go public), I still have a good 3 days(I'll need 2 days to code the scenes, and implement a pair of new features).
All of that means I'll almost certainly make the 10 scene target(probably even more than that) if varations are counted, but might not quite hit that number if you count each scene and all it's varations seperately. I think there will be at least 7-8 even by that measure, though, which still isn't bad for only being able to spare an hour or two a day for half of the shortest month of the year.
Anyway, aside from the minor scene pack, there are two other pieces of news. Jaylee informs me that she has the first draft of the new short done, though I'm not allowed to see it until she'd given it at least a quick edit pass. Still, I'd be very shocked if it wasn't out by the end of the first week of March (the 7th, not the 4th, though I could be out by the 4th for all I know). Since I'm not wholly in control of that reward, I only promise that it will be ready sometime in March overall. Jaylee is usually pretty quick, so I don't anticipate it usually being very late in the month, but she does have several other projects she's working on.
The second bit of news is that I've got a rough outline of an idea for the new $10+ reward I'm intending to try (See This Post ). I have no idea how long that will take, or when it will be done. It's purely experimental at this point. But I have started working on the idea.
