OTP October Preview #1 (Patreon)

Happy October everyone,

A bit of a long post this time as I want to announce a few changes in addition to the normal status update/preview.

First, above is October preview #1. Looks like Sunny is enjoying a nice dip in some cool water. I am hoping this will be the last preview for the v0.3.0 release. You can see from the status update I posted that I am getting close to the finish line on this release, finally. The static renders are now complete and the only thing I have left to do are the animations and some additional testing. There are quite a few renders needing to be done for these animations though, so it will still take some time. However, if everything goes well, I am hoping this release will be complete within the next week or two. So, keep your fingers crossed.

Second, I wanted to announce a few changes to the Patreon page. As you may have already noticed I have put out a couple of additional posts today beyond my normal posts. I have added a new benefit to both the Supporter and Super Supporter tiers. For the Supporter tier and above, I have put out a walkthrough document, kind of. It's not a full walkthrough, but a document that lets you know how to unlock the scenes in the replay gallery if you are having trouble getting them all.

I have also added a monthly 4k wallpaper for the Super Supporter tier and above. This will be similar to the 4k render set I do for the Ally tier. It will be within the same theme as the Ally 4k render set, but it will be a unique render.

In addition to those changes, I am also planning on implementing the pay up front feature, which Patreon calls subscription billing. Patreon has now fixed the issue with subscription billing so that new subscribers don't get charged twice in quick succession if they join on the last day of the month for instance. They now get changed every month on the day they subscribe. Took them long enough. So, I will be turning that on probably sometime within the next week. This will not affect current subscribers, so you should not see any change. But I wanted to make everyone aware of the change.

As always, if anyone has any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns, feel free to hit me up.

I greatly appreciate everyone's support.

Thanks

The Cap'n
