I'm still fucking around with the Operator+ sex scene Beta.  I'm sorry for the delay, which is my fault.  I've cleared out my weekend to work on the Beta, and I anticipate that the release will be Soon™.

Once that's done, we'll polish it up and release a polished version of the sex scene Beta to everybody on Dec 24th, Christmas Eve.

The Christmas Eve deadline won't be missed – we'll release the beta in whatever condition it's in on that day.

I plan to take a break from dev sprints between Christmas and the New Year – this will be a time for (a) user feedback and (b) me to reflect on our working practices and the next steps.

I think the new 2-week sprints are going to be great, but obviously this first one hasn't been an unqualified success, so I'll reflect on the reasons why after the Christmas Eve release.  Comments from ammut, William Urquhart and xgrotesc feel like especially useful insight here, and I also have some changes I want to make to my personal work practices – more on this soon, once this thing is dealt with.

I also just want to say a quick thank you for the many encouraging messages I've received, both here on the Patreon and in DMs, in the past two days when it's been obvious I've fucked something up and the delivery has been postponed.  I really appreciate you guys, and there is no danger of me burning out or giving up.

Once the new sex scenes are working we can move the story to Bangkok.  

I'm going to get an early night and an early start tomorrow.  I'll report at the end of the day.  Hope you guys are having a great Friday night and I'll see you tomorrow!

And don’t forget to take time for yourself

It is tough to plan sprints at the start. Best to guestimate, but breakdown your tasks as small as possible. Then you can track how quickly you complete small takss. That can give you a sense of your true velocity and help you plan better later. We always overestimate ourselves in our plans. :)

Sometimes sprints include stopping for tacos and crying in the bathroom. It's ok; we've all been there. You'll get faster and more efficient each time. Thankfully it sounds like you have a good team ready to help you and lift more of the work off your shoulders.

Not sure if it will help any, but I discovered that sometimes my breakdown list of storyline targets are bigger than I had originally conceived them to be and, as a result, I was unrealistic in my release schedule. Granted, our games are different in the manor of Art content creation process, but the premise is still alike, I think... where you see the entire thing in your head like a movie and then have to try and match it as best as possible. The trouble lies in the fact that, when we see the movie in our head, it doesn't take into consideration all of the words we have to write to describe all of that action... and as a result, we spend way more time writing than we originally planned to fully paint that scene to our satisfaction. Nor does it help, in your case, that you also are scripting all of it to be dynamic, which also adds paths and stuff that wasn't in the original movie in your head... we only saw it in ONE branch, but now must write it in several branches and make sure it doesn't bork the previous content or where you want the story to go in the future. My only suggestion, rather than worrying about piles and piles of content per release, focus on one string/character/event and just do that... let it go where you want it to go, we will wait... something great and beautiful isn't built in a day. But others said, don't forget yourself either in all of this.

Keep calm and use this to find where the bottlenecks are, as you can see people believe in your project and the support is solid ;) To me it seems more a "quantity" problem over your shoulders, the quality is there and the process functional. If the time invested now will help streamline and speed up the work later than it's a good investment anyway.

Also, I completely understand the cat's feelings and imo it's very patient and gentle. I'd have claw-slain that creepy kid the moment it laid its sausage fingers on me.
