An in-depth update status

Hey all, hope the new year has treated you all well.First things first, the estimation I set a couple posts ago unfortunately also will not be met. Everything did not go as quickly as planned which , I know, is a very reoccurring issue of mine.Nevertheless, the original promise still stands. If you've subscribed to me at any point from August last year up until the release of the update, it will be free for you—just send me a message once it's out.Now, I've received multiple comments saying that I should be more clear about where I'm at, and I do agree, so here's my attempt at that. My promise is to update this every day as progress continues, until finalized. Note that the percentages are my own estimates and might not be fully accurate.Hopefully, this makes things more clear. If you have any questions or anything that I can/should add to this, then please do let me know.

Thank you all so so much and stay safe!! ❤️

As much as this is in introductory scene, there are a lot of things involved.The idea for this path varies from the other, introducing new menus & mechanics. Reason why this takes long, without giving anything away, is because it's difficult for me to commit to an idea, since it defines the entire path.

Victoria & AmeliaUnfortunately, due to complications, their story has been postponed.This is mostly from being indecisive about how I want their story to go.
