Almost there...

Hey guys!  Apologies that this is a progress report and not the release.  Polishing is very nearly done.

A few things this week took longer than I wanted them to (but are now great).  Overall, 7 scenes needed a tech and editing polish, fixing placeholders and expanding branches: 6 are done, and I’m partway through the 7th and final one.  That’s the last big polishing task.

After that there are a few small avatar glitches I need to fix, but they should be quickies.  e.g.:

1) eye shapes not rendering properly when tanned.  (probable solution: export new recoloured eye shape assets for each tan)

2) eye makeup appearing above hairstyle in game engine.  (probable solution: reörder z layers of assets)

I’m working on it every day and it will be with you very soon.  🦀❤️‍🔥

I don't really care how long it takes to get made, or even if it gets finished. I would be disappointed if it never does reach that point, but as the old saying goes "there are plenty of fish in the sea" so even if it never gets done, I'll likely just move on to something else even if I were disappointed that I'd never get to see a finished product. There are so many other things that occupy my time, so I don't truly care that much compared to other things. I care about it enough that I'll come and check on it every now and again, but it wouldn't harm me if this project were to end tomorrow. That's not to say I don't enjoy the project, but I've just lost a lot of interest in it. If there's a new post, I'll check it, if there's a new update, I'll play it, but if the project ends, I will move on. This is a very unique project and there's nothing else quite like it, so I'd like to see a finished product, but I only care enough to remember this project exists every and to check if there's something new every now again. Let me end this by giving a bit of advice, post more images of development. An image or two in each post draws a lot more attention and gives a lot more substance than just some text. Also believe in yourself more, your writing is incredible, and while I usually ignore most of the text in games like these, your writing has something that draws me in and makes me actually want to read it and not just skim through while looking at pictures. Keep working hard - Consistent Fan

Honestly I feel like you should just release it before fixing the glitches and then upload a patch. It's been years now and at this point delivering something with a few bugs is better than not delivering anything at all

Man the art looks absolutely wrong. Reminds me of a MILF trophy wife who has had a few lifts, rather than a chick who would credibly be hired in a Bangkok titty bar. Might be worth rethinking the art from A-Z before proceeding with a release. It's vitally important to GET THIS RIGHT!

I swear, y'all are either bots or the most gullible people on the planet. How can you not see this guy is stringing you along? It's been over two whole ass years since the last actual update to the main story. Did none of you catch his post (April 3rd) at the beginning of the month? "Hey guys! I normally work through weekends at the moment, especially as it's close to a release, but I have a family thing I can't get out of. This means the release won't be ready on Monday." He actually suggested that the next release would have been the first Monday of April, but because he had to take the weekend off (2 days!!!) he couldn't release it in time. It's been almost 4 weeks now since that post. There are so many more examples I could give (been lurking this project for a looooong time), but at this point it's almost morbid fascination how many excuses and new 'roadblocks' Crush keeps putting out. The bullshit keeps getting shoveled into your mouths and y'all keep chewing.

Ok, for future reference I think you need to rethink how you use the Kanban Board, you were actually making a lot of progress then you arrived to the last Ticket which was "Final Code Polish" and yet you've been at that for over a month, it seems that should have been various Tickets of their own rather than having plenty different things grouped together as just "polish".

With this level of zoom, you can really see all the facial details 😮. If I remember correctly, there wasn't this much zoom in the actual game 🤔☕.
