Progress Update (including release date and billing)

I wanted to share with folks a general update on the progress I've made so far, anticipated release schedule, and my tentative plans for billing in October.

Work Done This Month

First, I'm very happy to say I've been making good progress the last two weeks. My personal life has stabilized a bit, I'm getting more rest, homelife is returning to normal, etc., and as a result I'm able to focus more on BBN and work on renders more consistently. It's a great feeling and I'm looking forward to sharing later today or tomorrow more SFW sneak peeks with the Hunter tier and above.

While I was at our cabin this weekend and did not have access to my rendering rig, I spent several hours Saturday morning working on some more dialogue. The latter half of this update is an extended scene with Mayhew and, for those who are pursuing a romance with the elder, I want to make sure there is some truly meaningful dialogue there where you can feel like the relationship is advancing. It'll mean a little more time working on renders, but I think will be worth it.

Release Date

I'm still hoping for a release later this month or early October. There is a fair amount of work that remains to be done, including an explicit scene and incorporating the UI updates I was working on, but with a bit of "crunch" I think it's certainly possible. I'm not promising a specific date as those just cause me a huge amount of stress, but this is generally still my target.

Reminder on Billing

I recently was asked about billing over on Discord, so I wanted give everyone a quick reminder. Billing here on Patreon is paused until September 30th. Your billing date remains the same. What that means is, if your billing date is the 1st of the month, you'll be billed on October 1st. However, if your billing date is the 18th of the month, you won't be billed until October 18th. Given the progress I am making again on the game, and barring any further family emergencies, I am currently planning on having billing resume after September 30th, but I will let you know if that changes.

Let me know if you have any questions!
