Monthly Renders - July 2026 (Patreon)

Good evening citizens,

It's been a bit. So I've been burnt out on SL, and haven't worked on it in about a little over a week. I'm feeling a lot better though mentally and I plan on going hardcore back into 0.4.3 as soon as I finish this post. The good news is that I was able to add a lot of the code and implement some of the ideas I've had for the game for a while. This was something I've been meaning to do for a long time now, but I just felt like I never had the opportunity since I was more focused on content (and because we don't normally see the progress of backend stuff). The bad news is that we are approaching the end of Summer and classes are about to end and start again soon. This means that my time will be very limited again to work on SL, which is a disappointment, but tbh, I think it's a good thing because I definitely have not been as mentally drained as I have been in previous years. As of now, I have no date for 0.4.3 to be ready.

I feel like I have been a bit overly ambitious for this and the previous update, adding a lot of side stuff that most people may or may not care about. This has halted my progress with main content stuff significantly. I was watching a video from LittleKuriboh, and he's talking about how he's been working his YGO Abridged series for 20 years now, and I'm thinking to myself, is that going to be me someday? Like, we have been at this for 5 years now, we have some very loyal supporters who have been around since month one, and I'm still maybe 60% done with the main story of SL. I get some anxiety about it, because I do want to finish SL and maybe move on to another project. I do feel some confidence that, after I'm finished this game, we can have another hit. But my problem is that, I'm just a fucking mental wreck that can't focus when my head isn't totally cleared of distractions. I feel like I have been doing this for so long that I forgot what it's like to go outside, speak to people, and be "normal". No idea if I can transition back to a normal life again. I really hope things get better soon because I am losing my mind.

Regarding 0.4.3. I added some small stuff that I've wanted to add for a while, like more midnight scenes with Estelle (very short), a banking system, a stock market system (tested this for maybe 300+ days, but numbers probably need to be adjusted more), and a new area where we can fuck hookers. I know it's not everyone's niche, but I originally thought it would be a good idea, but am completely regretting working on it. We'll see what people think when I'm actually finished, but this is probably the biggest time sink I have been working on thus far for this update. I basically had to re-design ~15 new chars, give them all assets, give them all their own unique code, all for something that is almost pointless except to show a few sex scenes and satisfy a niche idea I've had. So yeah, maybe I'm regretting working on this section, but we'll see what people think I guess.

Anyway, there's nothing too much else to report. I haven't really messed around with story content yet but we are definitely going to be working on Silvia. Thank you all for your support, and I apologize for being a let down. It's going to be probably be another shitty few months and again, we have no ETA on this update.
