Hi guys!

🥭About Chapter 2 Part C

Part C is coming along nicely right now. I'm much better off than I was earlier this year. I won't give specific percentages or dates until I know exactly what remains to be done. The most significant potential roadblock could be compatibility issues with Chapter Report or Intimacies, but only time will tell.

I'm currently working on the Cassandra's scene.

This scene is totally optional. It has different outcomes and variations depending on how you dealt with Cassandra.

Oh, there's another one too...

I'll include more "intense" previews in another post. This update will likely include the most animations to date!

Not much else to say about development.

🥭About Special Renders Schedule

This is something I've been thinking about for a while. I believe that working on three monthly renders is simply too much at the moment. I usually don't reach the three-render mark each month, so some patrons who pledge for access to the monthly set may miss the final one. That's not fair, but I don't see a better option right now. These renders take time to create, and the game remains my top priority.

On top of that, polls currently take about ten days per month, and I can't start working on a render until I know which girl and theme won.

That is why I believe it would be better to set a fixed schedule for polls and render releases.

The polls for girls and themes would go live at the same time, on the same day, every month, and would only be open for a few days, no more than five, to collect votes.

Then, on two specific days per month, I'd release one $10 render and one $5 render.

Yes, that's one less render than I am currently working on, but it is a more manageable pace for me and ensures that everyone who pledges for the renders receives both of them.

I intend to begin this new system in December. Since I'll be focusing solely on Part C this month.

🥭New Extended bugfixes

I updated the Extended version again.

Very small update. The changelog is simple:

Fixed a few bugs related to some variables. This should fix Chapter Report not showing one of Melinda’s interactions correctly. Another variable wasn’t properly defined and will be relevant in future updates.

Adjusted dialogues that didn’t properly reflect the new options.

Remade a couple of intro renders that had been bothering me.

These variable bugs could have caused problems in the future, so it's best to fix them now rather than later.

To avoid conflicts with Part C and future releases, this update will most likely require a new save. My apologies... there isn't much we can do about it.

I recommend skipping the game (Ctrl) this time to get a fresh save.

That's it for now!

See you soon, and thank you for everything! 🧡
