An Update

Hey, guys. So I've been thinking about trying a bit of an experiment this month and maybe releasing a partial release by the end of the month. Instead of my usual massive multi-month updates, I'd see what I can get done before the end of the month so I can have a more regular release schedule. The positives to this is content for you guys much more frequently and I'll feel a bit less overwhelmed since the project won't be this monstrously large thing looming over me like the sword of damocles all the time. It would also probably help curb my tendency to just focus solely on the work and ignore everything else, including interacting with you, since I just kind of hyper focus on one thing and don't like making announcements when there's nothing really major going on. This would also probably help with Patron retention, ngl.

The downsides to this would, obviously be, that the updates would be shorter and rather than releasing an entire chapter at once, it would be a part of a chapter per month. This would most likely mean rather than the usual cliffhangers I have at chapter end, the updates might end abruptly since it would only be partway through the chapter's story. Another downside would be that the updates won't always contain sexual content for all of the cast members. For instance Chapter 4 may end up being, like 3 parts, this way. I would still try to prioritize scenes so that you won't get an update that's like entirely Kadijah, or entirely Zilv or something, and there's usually several side character scenes as well, so you shouldn't have to worry about getting a "Straight only" or "Gay only" update.

Anyway, it's just something I think I'll try to experiment with this month and see if it goes well. I know it's also a short month though, so if I end up needing a few more days into next month, I'd probably instead make it a two-month update since it'll already have rolled over anyway. And if any of this worries you, again, it's just something I'm gonna try this month and see what happens. If it's met entirely with negativity or if it just doesn't suit my workflow, I'll go back to regular style. Anyway, back to the grind.

I didn't. But I don't consider it a regular update. And I hope very much, this is not what you have been working within the last 5 years and that you have much more up your sleeve. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you'd be able to deliver any update regularly, however much I would like to. Anyway, fingers crossed, the project is undoubtedly worth seeing through to completion and fulfilling the expectations it raised years ago!

Did you somehow forget the update you just played last month?

Dear Sir, the last update was in 2021. Therefore I wonder how short could be the next update. I would expect you have already material for at least 3 updates that match the standard of other developers. Some 4-6 updates within the year are always more welcome, than waiting more than one year for whatever. (You don't need any poll for this.) But if this should cause any problem to you, cancel the Patreon, make yourself comfortable, have inspiring chat on Discord all the time you need, and deliver the final product when it's ready. Cheers! :-)

As long as you’re regular without burning out I see it as an absolute win. Getting to see the game I love be developed further is wonderful.

All good as long as it work for you. Hope you found your formula.
