Quick update!
Added 2022-04-27 17:29:54 +0000 UTCHi guys!
April is almost over and May comes with a metric ton of work for us.
We are still working on the remake of Chapter 1, updating all the art, adding more illustrations, new scenes, a whole new character, improving our internal programming, adding an OST, etc.
That, however, does not prevent us to hear you guys. So by popular demand we're also working on improving our project's transparency. As you may have noticed, we're trying to publish at least one post each week and we are also set to publish a biweekly Quick Update post on how the project is progressing. We hope this helps you see how each chapter is going and make you a participant of its evolution. We are also working on another big measure to improve transparency, but we cannot reveal what it is until it is ready.
We are aiming to present Chapter 1's reissue within a period of 3 months, as usual, which makes the launch day around the late June/early July. The process of revamping LC has been a massive headache quite often, but we're slowly seeing the results of our efforts throughout these months, to the point that we're feeling quite optimistic about the project. Moreover, seeing your positive reactions to the new art is reinvigorating us and poising us to continue working hard on this.
Again, thank you so much for your support and don't miss Bonnie's new look this Saturday!❤️

Hm, it is hard answering to your statement - I feel a little sad, so please take it with a grain of salt. C4 was released in August, C5 in March (7 months later). In November, you said: "Does that mean we're going to have to wait half a year or more to see the C1 reissue? No, you won't have to wait that long. I asked Javier to work together on a final chapter (C5), to take advantage of those months to find a new artist and have time to redesign the entire video game. [...] The good part is that right now the new style is already settled and almost all the sprites are redesigned, so much of the work involved in redoing LC is already done." Now, you say that Ch1 of the redesign will be ready in July, which is more than the half-year-wait you dismissed above. What changed? Additionally, you are only offering a 2$ patreonship whereas most of the other games offer a 1$ one. And 30$ for a devs diary with only 2 posts in the last year? This is 180$ for a post. Maybe you could reconsider the 2$ at least as long as we wait for the revamp and lessen the devs diary to maybe 10$ until the new game gets going? You know, with this, I would really think about supporting you more. With the current situation, I rather feel not that appreciated. On the other hand, I also can relate to your situation - you need the money and have to work additionally beside Lust Campus. You had some hardships and need us if you want to continue. Please don't feel pushed too much, I am just a little sad because I do sympathize with you and your game. I had to get it of my chest and I prefer talking about emotions rather than going silent. EDIT: Don't get me wrong with suggestion a lower price-level. If everything goes fine, never mind. Only if you ask yourself why nobody chooses higher tiers, this might be an answer. For now, it is just my personal feeling.

2022-05-02 21:07:28 +0000 UTCWell, it's not quite like that. In each chapter we will add new elements and scenes, which in the following chapters will have to be developed. That means that each redesigned chapter is going to have a little "new chapter", and as we go forward with the redesign that "new" part will be expanded. It's not just swapping old art for new, we're also adding more illustrations per scene, and more illustrated scenes. This regarding the art, but at the script level we are retouching the existing scenes and adding totally new ones. So yes, you're right that chapter 6 will come out around those dates, but you'll have to wait until then to see new content within chapters 1-5.
2022-04-30 08:05:57 +0000 UTCJuly for chapter 1? You mean chapter 1 of 5? Oh, ok, I seemingly did understand you wrong. I thought you were already working on the remake for a long time. I hoped to get all the existing chapters out until July. And then every 3 months another known chapter? So, the next real new chapter will be out in August 2023? I thought you would only make some smaller adjustments to the chapters and otherwise only exchange the pictures. Except of this little setback ;) , I think it is a good idea of beeing updated at least once a weak.
