Quick monday check-in (Patreon)

Hi everyone, just a quick check-in and development update.  Both the new quests are almost completed, with only one scene left to render, and I've begun work on some of the other new content for the update.  However, I have a choice to make, which I'd like to gauge your opinions on.  I'm opening this poll up to all my patrons, rather than just the school council, as it's about a very narrow and specific question, and requires a larger sample size.

Currently, the two quests lock one another out at a certain point.  After that point, you don't get to play the other quest at all.  This means that I can either find another way to show you the scenes from the alternate quest (such as unlocking them in the gallery when either quest is finished or adding an event that triggers after completion,) or make an alteration to make both quests playable.  The way this would probably be achieved is by allowing the player to walk back the choices they made in the story.

Left as it is now, in order to play both quests, you'd need two save files (with a third later as one of them has multiple outcomes.)  Would you prefer to be able to experience all the content in one playthrough instead?

I'll be happy to answer questions in the comments or on Discord.

On another subject, I will be changing my charging model to "pay up front" before the end of July.  This shouldn't affect any of you, and Patreon will simply continue to charge you at the start of the month as normal.  What it does mean is that new patrons will have to make their first payment when they sign up.  This is because in August, the update will be dropping and so I don't want it to be possible for someone to get early access then cancel their pledge before they've paid anything, as it would be unfair on those of you that do.  If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.  There is also a small tax change coming to certain areas that has nothing to do with me, Patreon should let you know if this affects you.

Until next time!
