#106 - Getting There (Patreon)

Hello again, Rumi here!

The 25% Discount AND the 6-Month Membership Giveaway are still ongoing!

With that said, onto Rumi Ramblings (TM) we go:

GAMES! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is done. Great game. I had a lot of fun with it.

I'm now about to start a playthrough of Far Cry 4. I played 3 a couple years ago (2023, I think?) and enjoyed the first half. I remember playing 4 when it came out and having a blast, so I'm hoping that carries over into today.

ANIME! I'm still on Dan Da Dan. Just finished episode 7, which happens to include one of the most depressing backstories I've seen in a while. Good stuff. Momo is also quickly becoming one of my favourite characters, which I really wasn't expecting. She's not my usual type.

And I've seen there's a Nendoroid figure of her... that could be tempting.

MOVIES! A couple of new watches this week. The highlights being Elvis and Exit 8. Elvis is what you'd expect: a biopic depicting the life of Elvis Presley. I can't say I've ever been a big Elvis fan, but Austin Butler did a hell of a job.

Exit 8 is unique. It's based on the liminal horror game of the same name, and while it takes its fair share of liberties, it does a tremendous job of adapting the source material faithfully. I was truly impressed. We need more adaptations like this.

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

Naughty Tail

Okay. Naughty Tail.

The release date for the upcoming update has been up in the air for a while now. I'd been floating the idea of an August 30th release for the past couple weeks, but that ended up being unfeasible for the amount of content that still needed implementing.

Following that realisation, you may or may not have seen the 'Special Poll' that went out a few days ago. It put the decision up to you guys: August 23rd with all of Day 1, or September 6th with Day 1 + Half of Day 2. You decided on September 6th.

This was an unexpected outcome, but not one I'm unhappy with. The main reason I put out the poll was that I knew the wait for this release was already longer than any previous one, and despite it including MUCH more content, it seemed wise to give you guys the choice.

Anyway, now that that's set in stone, I'll continue to be hard at work for the next few weeks. I promise the wait will be worth it. I'm incredibly happy with how this update is shaping up :)

Dream Corruption

No progress here this week; full focus is still on SV and NT (hopefully, this will be the last week with nothing to say here).

Sinful Valley

V0.4.2 is approacing it's public release, and I'm hoping those who haven't played the Early Access are looking forward to it.

V0.4.3 is now in proper production. Alice's First Date is halfway done, and work on the rest of the update (more on that soon) is well underway. I would say more, but that'd spoil the surprise now, wouldn't it?

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 :)
