Check-in + New Music Drop! - "Relaxing with the triplets" (Patreon)

Hi all,

Since I don't have much new to report, I held off a bit on posting this. Sorry if that felt like I was going back on my pledge to check in with you all weekly. Realistically speaking, if I do it every single week, I think it will start to feel a bit repetitive and more like static/background noise than something meaningful. In my opinion, and let me know if you guys disagree, what matters is that I WILL NOT be going silent/disappearing on you all again. You will hear from me in regular intervals no matter what, typically 2-4 times per month. And when I have nothing new to report, I'll give you guys a small goodie or token of appreciation instead, which is what we're doing right now.

Over time this has become one of my favorite tracks in the game. It's nothing flashy or exciting, but it's the track I find myself listening to most often while writing the scripts. Helps keep me mellowed out/focused. It's also attached to some fairly meaningful scenes, such as when we're "making up" with Maddison/growing closer to her, or when our "hero/protagonist" is feeling a little emotional. It can even play during your date night with Olivia if you spend long enough in the scene/discussion.

Onto some more relevant news perhaps...

While I've been giving Alorth some space to sort out his personal situation, I really don't think it will be too much longer now before he delivers the renders I need to complete the chapter. I considered just cutting the scene, or working around it by releasing what I have (then releasing a patch later)... but I think we've all waited long enough for this, so waiting just a little bit longer isn't going to be the end of the world, especially when it's a matter of delivering the chapter in full as it's intended, not chopped up or cut down.

When he's back on track, I'll also be twisting his arm for a MASSIVE wallpaper drop, the biggest we've seen to date. And again, the delay for Ch8's release will not significantly impact Ch9's release. You guys will be seeing Ch9 way sooner than you're anticipating, you have my word on that.

I love you guys, thanks for sticking with us.
