Dev Update #40 (Patreon)

Well, it was…a week. I started feeling sick last Thursday, and that got worse over the weekend. No idea what it was, but I felt like crap for about 5 days. On Wednesday, I started to feel a bit better. Yesterday was better still. I still accomplished work, but it was definitely slower and with more frequent breaks. How I wish that was the end of the bad news. On Tuesday, I found out my identity was stolen. Unfortunately, it was not anyone claiming they were IT Roy. Most of Tuesday and part of Wednesday were spent dealing with that. So far, I appear to be lucky that it was caught very early. But now I get to be extra vigilant for several months. I'm sending Valentina after these guys, if I ever find out who they are.

Despite all that, I made significant writing progress this week. As per usual, I added in a couple more scenes, but those are not too large. As I mentioned last week, I'm finally just moving the story in a certain direction. Given the many twists and turns writing has taken for this release, I'll announce here when it is done. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up again. We are now at the stage where certain characters are taking more prominence in the story, and that should be very fun.

With the holidays here soon, I'll be traveling to see family. There will be several days I'll be away, but I do have my laptop to take with me. Not sure how much rendering it can get done since I'll be around family, but I can at least work on the story and code. If the story for Chapter 7 is finished by then, I'll spend some time on Chapter 8's story. My more "normal" schedule will resume in early 2022.

That's it from me. Enjoy another pinup style render I did a couple of weeks ago now. I've got customs to finish up before I go out of town, along with the story. Have a fantastic weekend!
