August 2024 devlog (Patreon)

Hi folks!

It's the middle of the month and I've just released the preview update for Rune, so it's time to give you an update on how the development is going!

This month I'm working on an update for Rune, while Branny is beginning to write new content for our favourite lion Lake. After I finish and v0.42 - Rune is released, I'm planning to take a brief break from writing the updates - that means tackling a different project for a while, like finishing a few tracks and releasing Dawn Chorus Soundtrack vol.2 (the current album feels too big already to add even more to it, the second volume would have the tracks from Day 3 and onwards), Lake's side story that's mostly written but only as plain text, or possibly a different story altogether. I also want to put Broken Harbours on Steam and add some more sound effects to it, that'll likely take some time and effort as well.

I'm curently a bit behind schedule as I had to take a week off at the beginning of August. Working on a visual novel is an absorbing affair and I haven't had proper vacations in a while.I'm running a bit low on juice, so the work is going a bit slow as well - hence the idea to recharge for a bit after this upcoming update is out. I'd like to have the update for Rune finished before the end of the month, but realistically, if I want to keep the quality high and finish all the scenes I planned, September is looking more realistic. If you'd like to check out a sneak peek of the update and see where things are going, the preview update is already out for Stag/Feline patrons!

Also - I'm waiting for an illustration for Devon's route that I'm super excited about. Hopefully I'll be able to share it with you soon! It's being painted by an artist that haven't worked with us before yet, but I'm not telling who yet :3c

Stay well and thank you for your support!
