Hey everyone, just want to take a few to discuss a couple things regarding the progress of the visual novel. The big announcement is that for the month of May only, I won't be doing the Monday pinups because I want to take that time to get the next game update finished. Obviously I'll still be posting TRW comic pages and strips, I'm just taking a break from the two Monday pin ups and Isaac's Adventures that I would normally do in a given month. 

So why make this move? Well to be honest lately I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by just how much work is still left to do before this game is complete. None of the content that remains is anything I could bear to cut, so that means it's time to double down and focus on making progress quickly. And I think I could get a lot done if I had some breathing room next month. 

As for what's left: I figure four major updates remain. Up next is Millie's complete quest and the second half of Jane's. After that, Bria's complete quest along with a subquest starring another character that if you haven't heard me say already I won't spoil here. After that, the ending. The ending will be a BIG one, but the final update after that may be even bigger. That's where Kal (my programmer in case you didn't know) and I will go through and just polish everything up as best we possibly can.  

This project has been incredibly fun and rewarding to work on, but I don't want to still be making it in 2023. I have other interests I'd like to focus on such as commissions, animation, or maybe even a new (and for crying out loud smaller) game project that could build on what we learned making this first one.  In any case I hope you understand my decision to shift things around for the month of May, and meanwhile you know where to find me if you have any questions!
