Friday Update - June 4, 2021

Writing - Too early to tell
Rendering - Too early to tell

Hello, Patrons!

I hope you all enjoyed 0.5v2! I received a lot of compliments from many of you and it continually amazes me how kind you guys are.

Of course, there's also legitimate criticism, such as the episode being too short for the length of time it took to develop. As I've mentioned earlier, I am taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen again.

At the top of each Friday update, like this one, you will see a % complete for the two time-consuming parts of game development: writing and rendering. My goal is to write out the entire episode and once that's done, I will then have somewhat accurate predictions for how much rendering is complete.

Please note that this is not going to be some exact science here. In every episode I tend to add a bunch of renders as things go along. It is possible that you will see me go from 55% complete with renders one week and then 50% complete the next.

As of right now it's a little too early to tell % completion. I should have some numbers for you beginning next Friday's update. This week I spent a lot of time creating characters, writing, and I created 4 animations.

There's also one issue I have with Patreon updates - which is that a ton of the renders, especially the early renders of this episode will all be spoilers. As I've said, this is going to be a different kind of update for me and it's going to be a little unusual. Instead of preview renders I'll likely be posting random renders of the girls that I think you'll enjoy.

For now, I wanted you guys to check out one of the first improvements I've made, thanks to Kentyrr of Chasing Sunsets fame (great VN, you guys should check it out!). The sclera - the white part of the eyes - is a little too gray on a lot of these assets. So we've customized it and made her eyes just slightly whiter.

As always, thank you all for your support! You all mean the world to me!
