Dev Update #32 (Patreon)

Before I get into it, take a look at this announcement about some Patreon changes effective today, if you haven't read the post already. Nothing is being taken away, but I want to provide some more value to some of my higher level tiers. It almost feels like a new Patreon page with a change in the banner, the front page, and my welcome emails too.

I'm also providing this dev update as an audio file to patrons with even more rambling or detail (you pick what you want to call it). Feel free to grab that down below.

It was a productive week, despite my day job being very busy. The rewrites and new scenes for Chapter 7 continue to hum along. The rewrites and new scenes ended up being 2/3 of Chapter 7. So much for my optimism about having most of the writing done right after I released Chapter 6. The good news is that all scenes from Chapter 7 through the final chapter are laid out as outlines now. Chapter 8 will be more of the same as Chapter 7 - several scenes to rewrite or write, but at least I know that now going in.

Despite the hectic schedule, I even got time to experiment a bit with render settings in Daz. I've got some new ideas for things to try out once Chapter 7 is done. It's always a "fun" balance between experiments, visual novel development, and my own learning and improvement. Maybe fun is a poor word choice.

I appreciate everyone who joined me on the sudden livestream this past Saturday. I had a good time, and I hope everyone who joined me did, as well. If you missed it, grab the livestream replay. For those wondering about my back problems, I'm happy to report that they are much improved. It's now allergy season where I live though, so that's a new kind of hell. I won't get into my body's poor response to allergy medicine.

That's all from me for this week. A new podcast episode should be coming soon, as I'm hoping to record an episode this weekend with a special guest. Fingers crossed. Have a fantastic weekend, and thank you so much for your support this month!
