If it's not one thing, it's another... (Patreon)

TLDR at the bottom!

So, as most of you are aware, I've had quite a few issues with developing the V0.6 update. First I had bad health, then I had a break up, then I had follow up medical stuff. Finally, it's all sorted and with luck, I have no more health related appointments for a while now as my last one was this week. So between feeling better, both physically and mentally and all my appointments out of the way, I was ready to push through and get a lot of work done on the update.

Then my computer broke.

Seriously, I don't know if there's something that doesn't want me to release this update, but my god I'm going to! Thanks to you wonderful Patreons, I've been able to afford new parts which should arrive tomorrow. So that's going to include a full rebuild with a new mobo and cpu inside a new case. Then I'm going to wipe all of my drives and reinstall everything. Which is the hard part.

I've backed up all the relevant files related to the game, but one thing I can't back up is my install of Daz assets. That is farrrrr to large. So my plan is to move everything I can't back up to an outside place onto a single drive in my machine, wipe the rest and reinstall, then move everything into the new install locations. That should work, assuming I don't accidentally wipe the wrong drive!

So, that's my plan for this weekend, it may take me a couple of days after that to get everything properly set up before I can start working on new renders and things. So what does this mean for the update? Well I was planning on another Beta before final release, but that's unlikely to happy now as I was aiming for this friday just gone (yesterday). Unfortunately that won't be possible.

So instead, I'm going to skip that and just finish up the currently in progress work, then release to Patreons. So anyone on the $10 tier will be getting an update in the next couple of weeks, with a public release shortly after. That does mean this update will be missing  a lot of planned content, but at this point I'm fairly certain V0.6 is cursed and I'm going to just move onto V0.7!

TLDR: Computer broke, update is far smaller than initially planned. Patreon release will be in a couple of weeks!
