Monday Update #114 | A new chapter.

I'm back from my vacation and have started working again. I have a few things to report, but before we get into the update, I want to thank everyone for the incredible response to my last post. I was slightly overwhelmed by all the nice and special comments I got and am really thankful to hear that so many people support my decisions and are with me on this journey. Thank you very much! But I don't want to bore you, so here's what I've done for the next update so far.

What I did for version 0.4.1 as of yet:

• Writing: Ever since I finished version 0.4 and the first chapter of the game, I was neck deep in the planning stages. You can't see any of it, but I wrote page upon page adjusting, fine-tuning and detailing the games plot with all the learnings of the past two years. That took a lot of work that won't pay off immediately, but it will in the long run.
  
  I also started writing on the next update and have managed to get about 30% of the writing done.

• Images: Same as the writing portion, I have about 30% of the renders done.

• Gameplay: There are a lot of loose ends to clean up between the chapters and I'm pretty sure I got most of that done. The only other challenging gameplay part of this chapter will be to develop Kasia's minigame.

• Sound: I did the sound for the sections I wrote.

• Administration: I got some new furniture, including a height-adjustable desk and a new office chair after I sold my old one to a friend. I am also still very actively looking for a tax advisor, as the one I previously found turned out to be a fraud that refuses to answer my mails and calls. Kinda unlucky there.

So that's all I got done over the last week since I returned from my vacation. All the planning and plotting is what I did in-between my vacation and finishing the last update. I'm very excited for the coming weeks and months. There have been a lot of changes in my personal life lately, a lot of changes I'm making to the way I work too, and I'm looking forward to seeing how all of that will play out.

I feel like I'm about to grasp something. Like some of the adjustments and changes and plans will lead to something special for me personally and for the game as well. In the end it'll take a lot of time. So I'll just keep my head down and develop. Let's see where we end up.

That's all from me, I wish everyone a great week!
