Some updates for Build 7

Added 2025-03-25 19:22:40 +0000 UTC

Hey, Chordies!

Just wanna give you some updates on Build 7/Episode 7.

Writing is nearing completion. I'll be honest, I've been stumped a few times with this one 😅. I'm on the tail end though! I'm wrapping up the last couple thousand words.
Sprites are done! There wasn't too much sprite-work that needed to be done. Most of the assets from Build 6 are being reused. Right now, we're taking some time to spruce up the ones we currently have.
New CG is being worked on! We're inching towards getting this piece done. Think you all are really gonna like it :3.
VA work will begin after writing is done. No new characters this time around, so the voice cast you know and love will remain as-is!
We're working on updating and refining Chester's backyard background. We're also working on illustrating some long-overdue backgrounds.
Aiming to have the review copy ready by mid-April.

One last note. I was trying my best to get a review copy out this upcoming weekend, but that's most certainly not happening. This harps on a goal I had at the beginning of the year. I wanted to publish four builds of Chord Progressions during 2025. I'm already missing the mark by not having something ready for March.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like four builds in a year is possible. The workflow me and my team possess has a speed limit, it seems. Three builds a year seems to be our sweet-spot of comfort and productivity. I hate to dial back some of my goals, but I think this is for the best. I don't want to push myself or my team harder than necessary.

One last announcement. A little song preview is dropping next week! Keep your eye out on Bluesky and Twitter. Think y'all are gonna like it :3.
