A Quick Update (Patreon)

Greetings!

It's a pretty crazy time, and I hope you're all staying safe out there! At the rate 2020 is going, I'm expecting an extraterrestrial invasion by Thanksgiving (do you think they'll want turkey or ham?) But I'll carry on regardless, perhaps adding a quirky, adorable alien sidekick to let our new overlords know I'm not at all unhappy about their benevolent rule.

I don't have a ton to say in this update; I just wanted to let everyone know I'm hard at work on 0.9. I'm pretty in the zone now, and I figured the project would be better served getting back to it rather than writing one of my tl;dr posts. The tl;dr posts are usually something I do when I'm trying to work something out in my own mind. There's not much to work out now (aside from story/implementation details) - it's more about execution at this point. Writing, picking out enemy images, editing sprites, doing movement for scenes, making sure the logic of everything ties together properly, that sort of thing.

I've included another image from the scene with Sami, and I hope you enjoy it :D This is a tough scene for me, since I really like a lot of the images. Unfortunately, liking them makes the flaws stand out more (to me,) thus there's always a temptation to go back and try to correct them. This week I re-rendered an image only to find that I didn't like the newer one quite as well, so I've let most of them be. The writing of the scene wasn't as good as I thought it should have been, so I actually went back and substantially rewrote it. It's a blend of funny and darkly hot now, much superior to the original (in my opinion.) Some folks have commented that they like my pr0n scenes because rather than simply being fap material, they also develop and illuminate the characters. This one definitely follows in that tradition.

Anyway, that's all I have for now. I'll drop a line more regularly now that we're getting closer to release. I may not have much to say, but I want to let y'all know that the corona/cops/rioters/aliens haven't gotten me yet, and I'm still plugging away. I hope you manage to stay safe from all that stuff, too, and I thank you for your support!
