Gothic princess Blake!
Hello. Time for our regular progress report. I've got good news! But also one bad one: I haven't been able to finish the demo yet. But.
The progress was good last week. So, I'm fully expecting to be able to provide you with the next demo in about three or four days. I'm only a couple of scenes away from the release. Plus some sprites that need to be finished. And that's it. Of course, there had to be price to pay for that, and unfortunately I had to cut some scenes off the demo. Mostly in the Deliverance part: you'll see once you get to the last day of it. It's really short, straightforward, and barely has any dialogues. They had to be moved to v0.17. Without spoiling much, in Nariko's scene, for example, which is basically just a set of pictures, there had to be another character waiting for her, and the dialogue would've made a bit more sense if Blake could hear both Nariko, and her friend. But alas.
Anyway, I'll get back to work, as I'm trying to spend every single second on developing the demo. If you're interested, I'm mostly feeling okay. Not 100%. I'd say that I'm about in the same state as I was in the very first days of my illness, so it's manageable. I'll begin posting new polls next week, and while I'm still not sure if I'll be able to make another demo this month (with the public release, and all that, I'll get, like, ten days left in June at best), but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it already. Stuff will get spicy. You'll see what I mean once you get the last batch of v0.16 content.
So, thank you very much for your time, and support, have a nice day, and stay tuned for the upcoming release :)
