Quick update (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update — I'm getting everything ready for the release and I'm aiming to launch it this Sunday.

These past few weeks I've been working from morning until late at night to make sure I can hit this Sunday's release. There's still some final polishing left, but I'm looking forward to finally sharing the update with you.

Just a couple more cups of coffee, and I'll finally be pressing the button for the release build.

Game development has a funny way of keeping you humble. Some days everything goes exactly as planned. On others, an SSD decides it has had enough and you end up waiting days for a replacement. Or a bug buried somewhere deep in the code breaks the project and suddenly you're restoring backups instead of making progress. Sometimes it's making last-minute adjustments to the build, coordinating tasks with the team, and checking in to keep everything moving.

The biggest part of developing the 1.9.6 release, though, has been prototyping new mechanics and working on the characters. I wanted each new dorm girl to feel like a real person, with her own personality, little quirks, rather than just another face in the game.

All of this takes a lot of time, but it is what makes the world feel more alive and immersive. When you play the update, you will be able to see that work reflected in the characters, their interactions, and the overall atmosphere.

Now... back to work. Sunday is getting closer.

Stay tuned!

Kind regards,Tom
