Update on the Halloween Release + Iris & Gladys Wallpapers (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Tonight, I was supposed to release the special Halloween update for you all. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it, and I can't express enough how much this weighs on me. I deeply apologize for this.

I find myself facing a dilemma, and I want to be entirely transparent with you about it. Here are the three options I'm considering:

1. Delay the update for a few days: I have about 10 animations left to finish, with each taking between 8 and 12 hours. I am confident that the update will be ready by this weekend.
2. Release in two parts: I could release what I've already completed tomorrow, which is the regular update, and follow up with the Halloween update in about a week. This would mean you'd receive the content out of order, and I'm concerned it might introduce coding errors.
3. Release the game as it is: This would mean having black images where the missing animations and videos should be. It's not ideal, but it's an option.

What weighs heavily on me is the feeling of having let you down. A lot of the images needed retouching, and I ended up redoing a significant portion of the renders. This took a massive toll on my time and energy. The stress from this has been so overwhelming that, for the past five days, I've only managed between one to four hours of sleep each night, pouring every available hour into refining the details and trying to meet the deadline. If any of you feel let down or disappointed by this situation, I'm offering to refund your Patreon contribution for October. Just ask...

I'm genuinely sorry for this setback, and I sincerely hope you can understand my predicament. Your support and understanding mean the world to me.

I hope you all have, or had, a fantastic Halloween night, and please take care.
