[Devlog] EP6 progress #3 (Patreon)

Good morning!The downscale efforts are complete! Game is fully ported to a base 1080p resolution.In the end, dowscaling the images was simple with imagemagick (Thanks EMC, for the recommendation).The real behemoth was having to manually re-calibrate all the hard-coded positional offsets (yoffset/xoffset) that I did for the images and ui elements in the game, and all the image defines... finally done!You'll now be able to enjoy Moonripple Lake on your slower devices without lag :) I hope.Just don't load it on your Nokia 3310, okay?In other news, my paypal funds are still frozen. They confirmed that they have done so, and I had to redo the KYC - which is complete. They responded that they need to look further into the dealings of my account to see if there has been a breach of their terms of service... I think they suspect money laundering/illegality or whatever. I've done some research and they usually do this and hold funds from anywhere from 3 to 26weeks (yikes) before they're liable to either legally clarify or release the funds.In light of this I have decided to go ahead and not put my hopes up while they kick the can down the road, and instead:I'm committing to the Steam/Itch release in December. (I still hope to be able to regain Paypal in the meantime)If not, I'll restructure my business setup after the Episode 6 release, so that I can return to a Patreon-first model.

So, due to my payout being useless (for the forseeable future),this happens:

EP6 will have more content (mainly more sex)

EP6 releases on Steam + Itch in mid December.(If nothing changes I'll release it on Patreon a bit later for free as thanks)

Patreon billing will be paused indefinitely until the payout issue is resolved

I will still be posting devlogs and renders here as regularly as I can, so that part doesn't change. In fact, new render coming shortly :)In the meantime, please wishlist the game on Steam, if you haven't already. Thanks!Love, BCG <3
