- Day 21 (Bad Timeline)
After reaching out to Platinum and Diamond Patrons on the server, it was decided to run with just the bad timeline update this time around in favor of progressing sprite work. Which honestly has been going pretty well if delayed slightly due to various things happening on my end. The least of which Elden Ring consuming the weekend just gone. Regardless, the bad timeline is here and I'll summarize it with this: I lied....

- Day 21 (Good Timeline)
And with this, we hit the end of Day 21 on every route (that can get there). If you've played the last build, you might have an idea on how things might go. Or rather, how wildly different things may play out due to a certain thing being... different. All the same, you'll get somewhat different results if you go either A or B so feel free to view both and let me know which you prefer.

- Day 20 (With AND without password)
Welcome to the final act! With the romance plotlines resolved by this point, route-specific things are going to really only be sprinkled in for flavour as opposed to being a main focus. This could be going to bed with route partner if Dave took them as a boyfriend, or some other things if you didn't. The focus however is very much bringing this mystery to a close and answering some questions. The 'bad' br...

If I didn't have such a turbulent time over the holiday period, I would've liked to run this closer to an AMA format. Perhaps I still will in the future, but it's better that I bring people up to speed with where we're at.
Password (hopefully) will be done by Christmas 2022.
Honestly this one is going to be a bit of a stretch, and as I've been saying this is bringing the game into beta. What this means exactly will be the first "draft" of the story being finished. ...

Now that we're past the romance section of the game, we're into the final stretch for the mystery section. But as people are no doubt aware assuming you're up to date, we have a branch that also needs to be dealt with.
As it stands, my plan is for next month to have all of day 20 done, on both branches.
But moving beyond that, do people have a preference as to how things progress from there? Consider this the same as the original branch that happened at Day 10. As a caveat, decisi...

As everyone should know, there's no patron build this month due to NaNoWriMo, but that doesn't mean you don't get an update on things!
First up, and while I wish I had something a bit more tangible timeframe-wise but merch is right around the corner as brought to you by PawPrintPress! Those shown below are the first test prints that the factory made but aren't indicative of the final product. A few of the colours are a little off but shoutout to Dot from PPP who's been a great help and ...

Consider this the end of both of these romance routes! Will you end up sealing the deal or just remaining friends? You may not know until you hit the very end of the day! I kind of went overboard with the CGs this time around, so you should have 7 new ones to pick up, basically none of them missable assuming you're going for romance.
THIS IS THE LAST PUBLIC UPDATE FOR 2021!

And that's the remaining three! Cut it a little close and had to double check a few things with people to make sure some scenes had the weight they needed to, but this closes out day 18.
If you've played more than one route you'll know which scenes are shared across routes and why. Also four more CGs to collect!

We got two more done! You'll likely find more variation in how things can play out depending on if you got the password or not given... Well, we're not directly engaging with it on any of the other routes. Maybe a little more progression in figuring out how certain things played out? Some scenes are shared as per normal if you're looking to just see route specific stuff.

Just touching base on how things are tracking for next update.
Roswell's update is done and just waiting to hear back if any changes are needed before I finish polishing things like music and alike. Orlando and Dean's update from last month needed a couple of tweaks to make it feel more consistent, notably Orlando in the things he talks about and shifting the flow of Dean's main investigation talk during the day.
That said, 2 weeks out from the update we're on track to have Sal's...

So a couple of things. When I wrote the last post regarding what days are coming out, I was looking directly at my design doc which I've neglected in updating since tweaking the pacing of some parts. That said, while this was originally going to be a two-day update, I've decided against putting in Tyson's Day 19 due to not having the required CGs to do it justice. It's written, but I can't in good faith have what's in it wit...

I don't know who did it, but someone took it upon themselves to post links to the new build publicly a day after its release. Given the last time this happened was back during the Oswin interview I think we had a good run until this happened again.
I'll be blunt. For whoever did that, was it because there was something wrong with the build or was it because you just wanted to share? Either way, I've disabled the links for now and am looking into alternatives for file security moving for...

As I said last month, this build is mostly just housekeeping. Cleaned up a few scenes, fixed a bunch of typos and a couple of continuity errors that people had pointed out.
That said, there is an additional track added to the game. At the moment you can only unlock it on one route and I'll retroactively add it in other areas where I can but... that'll be later. Just in case there are ravenous completionists out there.

Been a while since we've had one of these, huh? Should be self explanatory. I'm assuming I know where the votes will go but I need the order all the same so I can figure out the best way to tackle (potentially) two days worth of updates in one lump.

We've reached the end of an era with this one. For those that typically avoid the bad timelines, this might be worth checking out. There are a few gems in there that might make it worth the sad times.
Fair warning, there may be some bugs or continuity errors. If you encounter any, by all means let me know as soon as you find them so I can patch them out. I think I caught the last one right before I'm about to ...

I hope you're ready for a juicy build that progresses the overall mystery a bit, because here's a doozy. Not exactly anything character specific yet but we'll get there. Soon, perhaps. Like Day 18 soon, but I'll announce plans for that later.

As I said last month, this month has been spent chipping away at the new sprites and taking some time off for what time I didn't get over Christmas. That said, there have been some bumps here and there (mostly because of a certain someone's new sprites deciding to corrupt) but let's have a look where we are now:

Okay! First update of 2021 and honestly I'm... a little disappointed. For those that were aware of what happened over Christmas, you know why. For those that don't... well, essentially I had to hand-write the update in a notebook given I functionally had dial-up internet and spend what time I had between when I got back and now to transcribe it into something playable. It plays, it reads alright, and there wi...
