What's done so far:
Scenes which still need to be work on render-wise:
Timeline:
Working on renders will take approximately another 4 days of work with an additional 6 days of rendering time. Probably another 2 days of adding on things that I missed while I put together the final product. I'll be working on coding and writing during the render lag time, but it will likely take a full 2 weeks to write, code, and test.
I'll try my best to get out the next update around 11/30-12/1, but I think realistically it will likely take until 12/1-12/7. A lot more planning was done this time around to ensure the main story content was done first and adding side content if time allows me to do so. Unfortunately it looks like the pool content will be delayed even though the environment itself is done. It will however be one of the main priorities for v0.6.
Patreon Changes:
Another Patreon change for next month is I'll be switching to pay upfront. Monetarily it probably won't make much of a difference, but it's just to get rid of some minor annoyances. While the large, I mean like 99%, sub and actually stay for the whole month, there is a very small minority mostly comprised of the same 10 or so people that sub every month then unsub at the end of the month. As a whole I don't mind this if people do this once or twice, because at its core Patreon is about charity and not really an actual business model (At least for games like this), but seeing the same names do it every month is to me as a developer quite honestly annoying. And, as I get more patrons, keeping track of them is also becoming harder.
Anyways, in reality it's more of a psychological change than anything for me, and for all of you patrons that have been around for a while or people that sub every other month, it doesn't really make a difference, you can simply sub than unsub immediately after and still receive the entire patreon feed for that month.
TLTR:
Expect release around 12/1-12/7 or die trying.
