Hello everyone,

Here is preview #2 for November, again featuring Sunny. Still not that many renders done yet, and most everything I've rendered for Chapter 07 so far has been scenes with Sunny in it.

Chapter 06 is now available for all tiers as of Monday. I hope everyone that has downloaded and played the new release has enjoyed it. I have pinned that post so everyone can easily find the download links. If you have any comments or critiques of the chapter, let me know. Also, if anyone finds any bugs or any other issues let me know that as well.

For those in the Ally and Super Supporter tiers, I have created a couple of collections, the new Patreon feature. Basically, it is just a grouping of all the 4k wallpapers and render sets so they are now easier to find. If anyone, from any tier, has suggestions for other collections let me know.

Work on Chapter 07 is going well. I'm still very early in production on that chapter, so the status bars have not moved that much yet, but I am making good progress. I should point out that Chapter 07 as currently written, it still needs quite a bit of tweaking, is even larger than Chapter 05 was. I actually thought of removing the final playable day of this update, to shrink the size of the chapter, and moving it to Chapter 08, but decided against it as that would mean just two sex scenes, only one of which most people would see on a single playthrough. However, that may still be something I do in future releases if the size of each release continues to grow, which is likely due to route splits. I've seen other devs run into similar issues when making a game. It boils down to making larger releases that take more time vs making smaller releases that get done quicker. It will also depend on the size of the chapter, some are by default smaller to begin with. So, for now, I'm just going to play it by ear and see how things go. I'd be interested in hearing from you all as well. What do you think is the best way to go moving forward?

That's all for now.

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

Many thanks to everyone that supports this project.

Thanks,

The Cap'n

The question of shorter, more frequent and longer less frequent releases is literally as broad as it is long. The bottom line is that the content should be the same regardless of how much of it you release at a time. i.e. you avoid like the plague, any possibility, as has been known to happen with many other creators' stories, of having to adjust or abridge or, worst of all, find yourself forced into truncating some part of your fully intended story in order to meet the shorter, more frequent, more pressing delivery deadlines, in the eyes of your audience, demand. My personal opinion and preference favors larger releases with longer development times in between. Firstly because I'm patient by nature and find no little enjoyment in the anticipation, and secondly because in a story as wonderful as "On The Prairie" one's time and enjoyment is always going to be far too fleeting no matter how large and long the release. This is especially noticeable when due to the fascinating characters involved, there are, as you point out, increasing numbers of branches or route splits to explore. The shorter the release the more fragmented and sporadic development of the overall story will surely, I would think, become. This is then, for me at least, all the more "frustrating" in the case of smaller shorter releases because I end up with shorter doses of pleasure, a more stilted journey through the story and I am spending more time wishing and looking forward to what is to come than if I wait longer and then have more content to explore, more time with these gorgeous ladies and further progress with story routes to enjoy each time. I hope my two cents-worth helps.
