Hey there!

Poll about additional events in v1.3.0 - Ended (Rachel and Yuki won)

Poll about extra events in v1.3.0 Extended - will be ended on August 10 (Sara and Yuki are leading so far)

________________________________________________________________

Important

Development of version 1.3.0 is slightly behind schedule, maybe 1-2 days delayed. The main reason for this is that I'm dedicating a significant amount of time to writing dialogue for the upcoming event with Yuki. I'm not sure why exactly, but for some reason, I'm having a really hard time with it.

Currently, I've completed about 75-80% of the planned work. 

The roughly scheduled release date for the 1.3.0 update is the second half of August.

About the v1.3.0 update

1) Events:

• 2 events with Nikki -- 100% complete
• 1 big event with Yuki -- 60% complete
• 1 small event with Yuki -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Carol -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Rachel -- 100% complete
• 1 small event with Sara (2 versions) -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Ashley -- 100% complete
• 1 additional event with Rachel -- 100% complete

The remaining planned events mentioned in the previous news post:

• 1 event with Kim -- I really want to do a hot scene with Kim, but I don't think I can make it good enough for this update.
  However, I'll try to add a brief phone conversation that describes what was going on with Kim over the weekend and her plans for the next week.
  There will definitely be an event with Kim in the update 1.3.5.
• 1 event with Sasha -- I think I can squeeze in a small event with Sasha. It won't be as big as I want, but it's better than nothing.
  Unlike the event with Kim, the one with Sasha cannot be postponed due to its relevance to the plot.
• 1 main event -- This event will be postponed to the next updates.

Also, as mentioned in the last news post, I had to make some cuts to the events. 

Moreover, I've decided not to create an additional event with Yuki and instead expand the big one that's already in development. Creating another event with her became challenging as I struggled to come up with something sufficiently engaging.

2) Renders and animations:

830 renders and 11 animations are ready -- Roughly planned: 1000-1200 renders and 8-10 animations

3) Other things:

• some bug fixes
• some code optimization
