Alright, time for some good news, eh?
The update is still not done.
Okay, thanks bye!
Yayaya, stop yelling, I know, stupid joke.
So, joking aside it's still true, the update isn't done yet and there's still enough to do that I can't really be sure when the full update/v1.0 is done, BUT! this month will have a beta!
There's enough new content and I know people are getting nervous, so it will give you the chance to see where it's going and it gives me a chance to get some feedback before the content is actually finished.
This beta is going to be number one of two. The second and hopefully final beta, will release once all content for v1.0 is done.
I was actually hoping I'd be able to release v1.0 this year, and there's still a chance, but it's getting slim.
I have to restructure a lot of scenes (seperate NSFW stuff from SFW stuff), which makes things even more complicated than they already are, then there's the quite big amount of renders and a few animations still missing and it's simply getting unpredictable.
Anyway, here are some numbers for those interested. In this beta alone will be included:
~1500 new render.
11 new animations (2 of them are technically old, but they where just 2 looping images before, now they're fully animated).
Between 5 (minimum) and 11 new scenes, some are parts of one big scene, so it depends on how you want to see it, but some also depend on your choices in the game. One or two are still unfinished atm.
There are 3 endings so far, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll include them yet, since some of the branches leading to them aren't fully finished.
I've also reworked and enhanced several older scenes either by adding more renders, or re-rendering the whole scene completely, which in some cases was unavoidable, since the render engine changed so much that the new renders looked completely different from the old ones.
and last but not least I edited some text (there were still some really old typos, but I've also changed wording here and there) and code, especially the gallery, but also added some qol improvements.
There's going to be a lot more added to those numbers for the second beta and v1.0 and possibly even this beta already.
I'm not entirely sure when I'll release the beta this month, but I'd expect it at the end and hope for earlier (less complicated) :D
Anyway, there's not much else to say at the moment, except:
It's been quite the journey, but now it's finally nearing it's end. There have been a lot of ups and downs, but I'm glad I never gave up and I'm thankful for everyone who supported me in any way. Some of you guys stuck with me from the beginning, which is crazy considering how long it took, and I'm not even talking about Patreon or Subscribestar, but even just people hanging around with me on discord.
I'm really grateful for that and just so you know, I consider some of you my friends (you know who you are!).
Here's a small preview for ya'll:

Well, that's it for now, have a good one!
