Weekly Update (6-2-2025) (Patreon)

Some decent progress this week. Wordcount isn't quite where I'd like it to be, but it's getting to be something resembling passable. XD;

That said, I did get a fair amount of work that isn't reflected in the wordcount done, so I'm not as behind as words alone might suggest and such. I did basically complete a major section as of last night, just cutscene-type stuff doesn't reflect well in wordcount. Still, hard to estimate when this update will be out at this point, beyond that I don't think I'll achieve what I'd originally hoped for (keeping to the usual cycle despite the longer break). Hopefully won't go too far over either, though.

IRL crap is the reason here. As usual, won't get into it too much except to say that it's sort of frustratingly stop-and-go and that it keeps getting somewhat better without clearing up. I doubt I'll be entirely at 100% until it does get fully resolved, so all I can do is do my best to work through it. Honestly, being immersed in the game does help just since I've always dealt with emotional crap best by having something to focus on, it just still interferes with getting fully immersed. -_-;

Anyway, putting that aside, Mimo has finished Despoina's expressions! Now she's working on alt outfits, which I'm looking forward to, but some expression previews in each hair color:

This should be a good update for that art to come in, really, given recent developments. =P

Otherwise, I've started running an ad campaign using the advertising credits I mentioned last week. We'll see how well that goes, it only really just started running since I was slow in setting it up and such, so I'll have more of a report on that next week. My thanks to Xephyros for advice on setting it up!

Overall, I hope I'm finally mostly into the swing of the update and things will pick up from here, but going to get it done regardless. For now, back to work on that!
