Hi everyone! I've got exciting news! You can now play the Part 1 demo, available as a download or through itch.io for patrons! While I am calling it a demo, the playtime is roughly equal to the entirety of 'Perfect Touch', my first VN. Just to give a sense of scale! Here are the links, please do not share them around!

Why release a demo? I decided to add another scene to Part 1, making it longer and pushing that release back a bit. This demo represents about half of the content for Part 1, and between 1/4 and 1/5 of the content for 'Consolation Prize'. I hope you will find the time to play it and let me know what you think. It's been quite a long time in the making! Next month, I will make the demo available to the public as a draw for support in the full game, since that's generally what demos are for, I suppose.
In other news, I had a chance to review the content I had for my previously scrapped VN experience, featuring Liam the hyena and his weight gain adventure. I've heard from a lot of you who were looking forward to it, so I have decided that I would like to unscrap it, rework it, and release it as well, as it is roughly 70% done right now. I will cut out a few of the aspects that were giving me trouble (much of the animation), thus streamlining it a bit, but still hopefully keeping the core experience intact.
So in terms of future releases, here is the order and timeline that I am thinking:
1. 'Consolation Prize' Demo - complete
2. 'Consolation Prize' Part 1 - release in 1-2 months
3. 'Video Chat with Liam' - release in 3-4 months
4. 'Consolation Prize' Part 2 - release by end of 2022
Naturally, I will take breaks to pursue some smaller projects for you guys, but this is the rough schedule for the big projects as I estimate them now. Of course, plenty can change in this time, but I will let you know ASAP what those changes might be.
Anyway, thank you so much for your patience, seriously! I was expecting to lose a lot more patrons because of the wait while I work on these, as I know it can be frustrating to not hear from creators for a while. Thank you for sticking with me, and I promise there is plenty more to come! Take it easy!
