Development Update (C) #15

Hello! How are you all doing?

So I'm here today to talk about the new stuff I'm planning for the game and the patreon itself.

First: The game.

I had an accident while I was working on the A and S routes for Karnal, so we had a power shortage all of sudden here where I live, and I've lost all that I had done. Not only that my second monitor the one I use to copy the completed text to the software that creates/updates the day.fie just stopped working, but I could also make it work again so I'm glad I won't need to alt->tab every time, not yet.

That being said, I'm working on the story yet again, so I hope you guys can wait a little longer.

I've paid the rest of the deal to Wagner too so the rest of the Karnal's expression will be done soon. Then I'll just need to pay for the colored version, so just wait a little longer guys!

Second: The Patreon.

First of all: I know there's a real possibility of my patreon content being leaked on some websites out there, it's normal and happens to every creator. This will hurt the project after all, and I'm not hiding anything here. We do have an open Demo on the patreon page and all the content here is locked behind a 6$ monthly as a reward for you guys that are helping me create this amazing project. It's not here just to grab money from you guys and hide the project from the world, a better Demo will come out, and when it does it will have a bunch of good content inside. When we get there, this demo will be released on the main page a month after it's released for every tier1 member.

But, since the content can be leaked, and since there are some people who sadly will attempt to use the assets from the game posted here that leaks on their own projects, I'll be putting WaterMarks on the assets for now one. From the sketches to the final images. I already did a pool for the Tier3+ members, and as long as they're fine with it I'll put the watermarks. They will not get in your way of checking the content, they will not ruin your alone time, they will just be something difficult to someone who wants to do bad stuff with the assets of this game and put on their own.

Here's an example of how the assets will look like:

Some colors can change but I'll make sure to put the link on the bottom not covering anything more "Sexy" after all this isn't censorship, it's just a reminder in case the assets for the game leaks. I know any of you guys would leak my content here, but there's always someone who can just come here one time every X months to leak.

Leakage can be taken as "Free propaganda" but for smaller creators like me, earning less than a hundred and twelve bucks every month, this can sadly ruin the project. People who would feel the need to help at least once in a while to check the project, would be discouraged because of the content leaks, and yeah I do have all of you here who help me every single month because you guys really feel you want the game to be done and to be a part of this, that's why I know it's not a work of any patron who helps constantly here if something leaks. But leakage is something I can't avoid facing eventually, and it's something I can't fight against either. It will happen, and when it happens at least I want people to know from where this content belongs. 

To tell the truth, this is something I should be doing since the beginning, but I just read an article recently and I decided to start now. Better late than never. As I said, I'll be releasing these images with watermarks in a way they're not in your way when looking at the images, but also if someone else sees the image they'll say: "Oh, that's where this comes from". 

However if the tier 3+ patrons start wanting the watermarks to be more discrete I can make the link bellow smaller without the background on it (Maybe I'll remove that little background anyway), and I can move the watermark to a better place, but I do think the better placement for the watermark IS the center of the image. It's more difficult to edit them out this way.

Anyway, guys, I'll go back to work on Karnal's route, again. Yeah, it's hard when we lose everything because of faulty energy management of the entities responsible here, but this is how things work here, sadly.  I'll make sure to save more, and eventually, I'll buy a battery bank or something when I get enough extra money.

For now, this is it, I hope you guys have a nice weekend.
