S8 - Dev Version update 0.21.0

Hey Tier 2, 3 & 4 Patreons! 

Here is the last update.... v0.21, which will allow you to really know what happens to start the Part 2! :) Part 2 that I call "S8", and I'll start to speak about 'Sx' instead of versionning. This is the numbering I decided to take some time ago to split files / days / scene, and that's the way I know I have to release a version ; when a SX is over, it's time for a patreon release :) That's why sometimes it's long, sometimes it's not - nothing to see with the version number of the game (I'm realizing that I might have already lost you...)

Easier: Thank you for the messages you sent me after the next release, or the comments you let, I really, really appreciate it, and also for your suggestions which are really useful. 

So, once again, really don't hesitate to share with me your comments and ideas. You know, that was also the purpose for me of making a game: to share something with you guys. So, join the discord, discuss with us, give your ideas - and if you have some scene in mind you'd like to see ingame, share it :) I, of course, know where I go, but I always take ideas in term of "what could happen in their life" because despite the very important milestones, well, the rest is to imagine! 

Some info on the version and the coming months:

• New content! A new day... and fixed a bug some of you encountered with the gallery.
  
• Improved CGs! As I said, I'm listening to your feedbacks so, when I read something about weird expression, or picture not fitting the scene, I make some adjustments. I don't track all of them, but I think I've updated the uncle's expression in camp, and some others.
  
• About sounds / music, I must admit that I didn't add new sound/music. With the time I can spend on the game, I have prioritized the pictures and the code to not slow the release! Hope you hear some other good music while playing :p
  
• As you will see and then imagine after playing to this version, the game will become more and more complex to write / make. The version you have today is not the very last version I have in my hands, we continued a little bit, but there is so many parameters to take into account... so it takes time. To give you an example, I worked on a scene written by Jammy, around 50 lines of dialog. I prepared 94 pictures scene (around 70 different files), which has taken around 13 hours, and then 12 hours to effectively render the pictures in Daz (+ photoshop sometimes) - I don't even count the time spent by Jammy to write it! It's just to give you an example of the time taken for... 7/8 minutes ingame! This scene is not in this version, you'll discover it in the next release ;)
  
• I was a little bit too optimistic a couple of weeks ago: If we definitely started the French and Spanish translation, we only got the time to edit 50% of the french version, and  around 25% of the latam spanish version - which is clearly not sufficient to implement it for now - however, it's definitely something I'd like to implement in december with new content or alone, that will depend on how fast I'll be. It is a tedious task!
  
• I will ask for your opinion in a couple of days, after you've played this update, to know what you think about something... (yes this sentence is useless :D)
  
• In december and january, we'll also start to work on a side project related to Summer Vacation. I'll come back on this in due time as well :)

I'm curious to hear from you once you'll ve played 0.21 and how you imagine the future!

On a more personal angle, I'll be on hollidays 10 days end of december (I'm going to Mexico, see husband family we have not seen for 2 years because of COVID) - Maybe I can share some pictures from there if you'd like to see that... but we still have 1,5 months before we go! And I'm also starting a new job 1st of january (same company, different position). I don't know yet how it will impact the game to be honest, you know how it is - we never know - but I'll do my best to keep regular updates. I'll keep you posted anyway.

At last but not least, if you're still here with me, once again, thanks for your support! You are between 230, and even 300 last month to support it, this is really incredible, and it means a lot to me. When I started 6 months ago (yes, only 6 months!), I wasn't expected so much people on Patreon... and even less on discord with more than 600 people! (Yes, 600! Everyone is really calm, but 600! :D). We're maybe not the more active  discord community, but you're definitely the best one !!

If you have any questions, ideas, opinion, want to participate in any ways, you know where to find me!

Have a very nice day, I hope you all enjoy the update!
