Hey, friends! Quick chat time!

Looking back at how I worked on the last update... Yeah, I just couldn't keep that up. It was honestly taking a toll on me. I was losing sleep, getting sick with nausea and headaches, and I don't know how much coffee I drank. Seriously wasn't healthy! So, moving forward, I really need to slow down and find a healthier pace. It's way better for me to work when I'm refreshed rather than completely burnt out.

This means, starting with the next update, it's probably gonna take me around 1.5 months to finish 1-DAY of content. I know that sounds like a stretch, but honestly, there's no point in saying I'll finish in a month if I just end up delaying anyway. Thinking about all the stuff I'm planning, this feels like a much more realistic pace to me. Don't fret! I'm really hoping to wrap it up in about a month, but let's put that timeframe there as the worst-case scenario.

If you got the chance to play the last update, you might have noticed there were some choices you could make, and they led to different scenes. Plus, depending on what you've done earlier, there's a little difference in dialogue here and there! Obviously, keeping track of all that stuff is gonna become a bigger deal moving forward if I add more variations. The tricky part with choices is that if you pick option A, you will miss option B. I'm gonna try to find a good balance in the future so you can still make choices without feeling like you're missing stuff.

Anyway, I'm so excited for DAY 5! Got a ton of cool ideas, and it's gonna be packed! The introduction is basically over as almost everyone has already been introduced and the foundation story between characters is already laid. So, starting with the next update, we get to dive into the really fun stuff!

That's all for now! See ya in the next post! Bye! 👋
