Update: Bad news and a delay (Patreon)

So, the worst has happened. My laptop died. I should've seen it coming, what with the issues I was having as of late. Let's just say that the battery was swollen, soft and squishy, which is not a thing you want from a battery unless you're the machines from The Matrix. And this was just the last in a long line of things that I'd been slapping Band-Aids on for a while now (replaced two fans and the hinges had to be epoxied back into a functioning shape).

I've got a replacement ordered, but as with everything else during a pandemic that's constraining our delivery infrastructure, I'm going to have to wait a week for it to arrive. Right now, I'm on an old laptop that's basically got me online and not much else. It certainly doesn't have the power to even boot up Honey Select much less do anything with it. 

The good news? I didn't lose any of the files. I was able to yank the HDD right out and slap it in a USB housing. In fact, I'm able to continue working on the script and code as the backup laptop I have is able to run the Ren'Py SDK decently enough. 

Best case scenario, I get my new computer in a week and everything runs fine. I figure most of the script and code'll be in place and it'll be a matter of getting the renders done before having a playable build ready. So, there'll be a delay, but I still hope to have Chapter 20 out before the end of the month. 

Here's hoping for the best,

EDIT: And for reference, batteries are not supposed to look like this.
