Good morning!

Chiming in really quick. First round of beta is as you'd expect, especially around the branching area. I have some last-minute renders wrapping up before packaging up the next beta build. Which by the way, happy to report I was able to fix the issue I had last week.

Issue was ren'py wouldn't let me build a distro, even though the game launched fine. The solution ended up being to just create a whole new game and copy the files over. Distribution built fine after.

There's only one snafu that isn't really a bug, but still a pain point right now. The farmers market scene, this scene was done in blender. Compared to the rest of the chapter, the quality just isn't there. But, I'm going to let it be and will re-visit this after I release the update. I'll have a clearer mind and I'll be able to focus on a solution. After this release, there'll be a patch that will include extra things I wanted to do for this chapter which is mostly UI/UX polishing. The updated renders will be thrown into the patch as well.

That about wraps it up! I'll have a release date next week.

Also, thanks all for the messages. I'll be answering them in the devlog following the release. So, feel free to continue asking.

Stay safe everyone,

digi

Thanks for the update Digi! Love to hear about the Beta Testing progress and I'm glad your resolving some of the issues found during it. As for my question, What were the toughest and easiest challenges, specifically program or machine-wise, that you had to face during the development of chapter 6? I know you probably mentioned them a long while ago, but since we're at the finish line, I'm curious and would like to hear about them again. I hope the Beta Testing continues to go well, have a great week and stay safe out there ❤️

When this update is complete will it automatically update on Steam. I bought the game on Steam last year.

Great hearing that progress is moving forward well, and definitely looking forward to this next chapter. Keep up the great work, Digi!!

Sweet!! Time to start another play thru.

No its updated only when a book is completed (4 Chapters per book). So you will have to wait for another two releases after this one.

Thanks for the update. Can I assume the release will work on Mac platform ? I so far haven’t been able to make the chapter 5 release work on my iMac.

I can't effing wait! I'm more excited for this update than any other AVN around.

Will the available downloadable releases given to subscribers include all chapters (1-6), or just chapters 5-whatever. I'm also a suscriber on top of a steam purchaser, and I've been relectant to download everything, since I've already got chapters 1-4 from steam, and limited hard drive space. It's confusing to me as to what I'd be downloading.

T-800 is for those who only want the update and still have the main download from the TARS tier. I made an announcement on Steam not long ago that I'd be releasing the BOOK 2 DLC as early access. That will include chapters 5 and the upcoming 6th chapter. My original projected date for that was Q1 this year, but Steam requires some fixes that I need to do before it's ready for Steam as well as build the storefront. But it'll be Q2 this year. I'm trying to find the time to swing by there to make an announcement on that front.
