Hi, everyone!

I have kept chipping away at the Evelyn scene this week, and I have now finished remaking all the images in it along with vastly improved animations. The next part is to add the new animations and images needed to expand the scene. Luckily, I need far fewer of these than I did for Samarra/Nell (that scene was not as fully developed as the others, after all), so this part won't take that long, relatively speaking.

It seems your opinion about how to handle this update was loud and clear based on the poll results from last week. As I'm writing this, 88% of the people voting on Patreon and 89% on SubscribeStar want me to keep going without splitting the night scenes into two updates. That's a pretty overwhelming majority of you, so I'll respect your wish and keep churning away on 0.38 until every night scene is entirely done. Then, I'll release it all at once, just as I had initially intended. I'm going to do my best to keep development time as short as possible, but there's only so much I can do. This update is huge in terms of added content, even if it will probably not take that long to play through. Despite not yet finishing Evelyn's scene, the combination of her and Samarra/Nell has already resulted in 822 images in the 0.38 folder. That's a lot. In fact, no other update in the history of this game has come even remotely close, and I'm still only half done (if that).

So, I'm just going to buckle down and keep working on renders for a while. It will make the weekly progress reports a little boring, but there's not much to do about that. Hopefully, the results will be worth it.

Until next time!
