Update #55 Pointy eared people in pyjamas

Ahoy there, landlubbers!

I've begun working on the final scene! It's going well so far. I think I should manage to finish it next week. Maybe. After that I'll need to do a final proper playthrough and spellcheck and stuff, but we're getting pretty damn close to release.

Oh, I also changed the name of the replays to 'Scene Gallery'. I then had to unlock all of the scenes again for some reason. I'm not sure if it's my persistent save file that was messed up or if renaming the gallery was the culprit, but there is a chance you may have to replay the game in order to unlock scenes again.

I'll go ahead and apologize beforehand if that's the case. Sorry. You can go back here and re-read the apology if that does turn out to be the case.

What's that in Ruru's hand, you ask? Well...

I've probably been overthinking stuff regarding setting up a Discord channel. It seems better to just put it up and then deal with things as they come, rather than look up every scrap of information possible and try to put up a million safeguards. Like, what's the point of having those if there's barely any traffic anyway?

So, I'll probably take a day next week to set up some small things, mostly rules and a little FAQ thing. Expect there to be a link in next week's update.

At least one of them is ready for a good knight's sleep.

These renders are all from the penultimate scene, I quite like the somewhat darker lighting. With all the light being somewhat orange tinted it makes for a cozy feel. It is a bit tough to make it look good when all the characters have such different skin colors.

There are ways to work around that by using small character only spotlights and similar tricks, which I sometimes do. But sometimes you just have to go "Good enough" and call it a day. There's a spicy scene waiting for me to work on it after all!

Oh, and there might be another poll during the week. I've been thinking that having some characters change their clothing to reflect Ruru's influence on them could be interesting. The poll will first off be to gauge interest in the idea. If it passes muster, we'll have more polls to determine choose outfits.

That's all for today, next week we'll have some teasers for the final scene.

Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you have a fabulous week.
