Howdy everyone! Welcome to another progress report!

Hotfixes

We are still working on hotfixes for v0.15.5.0 that should be coming very soon. We had a bit of a catastrophe the day before the build was due to come out, and we have been fighting it ever since. Here are the big things we are working on for the first hotfix.

1) Get all the guide messages to display

2) Change the font of the guide messages to be less... ugly and red

3) Get all SFW indicator prompts to appear properly

4) Get all the sound calls back for lewd scenes

5) Get all the animation calls back so characters correctly change mood instead of staying in neutral

6) Fix the porn phone moment - need to change it to a layered CG instead of a menu UI object

We are planning to have this first hotfix drop today. After we get this out, we can work on the gallery!

Progress Report

Been a fun week! I was monitoring the feedback on the new info that we've been announcing while also doing some Ep 2 drafting and Ep 3 writing. Current Ep 3 draft at 24k words. We also managed to do a merch drop, with much more on the way! I just don't want to drown the feed too much.

But I am incredibly thankful that the reactions have been positive! I expected some backlash, but everyone has either been receptive or curious for more info.

Coding has been completely focused on the hotfix. We hope that once the gallery is out, we can focus on Episode 2.

As for animations, Koth has finished the other lewd scene for the first update! So all lewd scenes are good to go, and he is now animating sprites for the next update.

Episode 2 Total Assets Report

One thing I noticed while doing the reports during Episode 1 is that a lot of the time people were working on future stuff. So it couldn't be reflected in the report. For Episode 2, I want to change that by having a Second Report!

This is the total planned assets for Episode 2. What we have done already and what still needs to be done.

As expected, static illustrations are ahead of everything else. Backgrounds are slowly catching up. Animations are just ahead of where we currently are in the game. Then music is last, but that is expected since it's expensive.

But this is a fun, new addition to the report! So you can see the overall progress of an episode. Since, ya know, most things are done for the next build.

Wrap Up

I hope you all enjoyed today's report! We've been trying to evolve our delivery of information and thought a look into the overall scope of the episode would be fun.

We're still hard at work on the next hotfix, which could already be out. I don't know; I write these the day before I post lol.

But thank you all so much for your support! We greatly appreciate it!!!

Don't forget to join us for our YouTube Live Stream tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12th, at 9 AM Pacific Time, where we will hold a large Q&A about all this information!
