#104 - Arming the Farm (Patreon)

Hello again, Rumi here!

No preamble today; let's move straight on into Rumi Ramblings (TM):

GAMES! Solo Levelling Arise OVERDRIVE has been finished, and while it was fun, it also became tedious as the final chapters drew to a close. I'm happy to have played and completed it, but I won't be back for extra content anytime soon.

Since then, I've moved on to... wait... huh, nothing. I've yet to pick another game; I've been quite busy this week. Any suggestions?

ANIME! Bungo Stray Dogs S3 is done, and it was fantastic! I enjoyed how they turned into a giant bayblade at the end lol.

I'm now watching through Dr. Stone Science Future - Part II. It's been great, if a little too fast-paced, but the manga was like that near the end, so I can't complain. There's also been a lot more cool-headed Luna (she's the best), so I'm happy. Looking forward to watching more!

MOVIES! The LotRs films have been seen, and good god were they great. Possibly one of the best trilogies ever made. Who'd have thought?

Anyway, enough rambling for one day, onto the work:

Naughty Tail

Okay, there's been little work on the implementation front this week; however, the script side of things is FINALLY starting to take shape.

As I said before, this update is bigger and more complicated than anything that's come before for Naughty Tail. The current content is looking like this:3 Days at Mermaid Heel: Day 1: House RulesDay 1: Can't SleepDay 2: Something NormalThis includes over 80 pages of script so far, and is likely to increase to 85/90. It's also only HALF of the total arc, as you can see it's titled '3 Days at Mermaid Heel' and each day is going to receive a total of 2 events/scenes. So, clearly there's a lot to get done, but I'm really enjoying working on something like this. It's very different to the usual Naughty Tail loop, and I think it fits in well despite that.

Because it's so big, I'm looking at V0.3.6 (the next release) including the content I've already described. This will bring you to the midway point of the arc and set up nicely for a follow-up update that contains the rest.

I'm also looking, tentatively, at an August 30th release date for V0.3.6. This is the MOST subject-to-change release date I've ever given. It's completely based on the speculative assumption that I'm somehow able to deliver those 3 events by the end of the month, while maintaining the usual quality of content. Wish me luck :)

Dream Corruption

No progress here this week; full focus is back on SV and NT.

Sinful Valley

V0.4.2 is progressing brilliantly. Two of the three narrative scenes are in, and Claire's Beach Date was already complete. This leaves only the third narrative scene, and originally the first Market Girl milestone event. I'm confident on getting the third narrative scene done on time, but the Market Girl milestone event was a little ambitious. It'll be pushed back to V0.4.3!

That's everything for today, thanks for reading until the end! Ping me on Discord if you have any questions; I'll try my best to answer :)
