Weekly Update~

Hey all, time for another weekly update!

Have been toiling with a bunch a stuff, which some of y'all probably have noticed Doggo being more active in some spaces like Itch and the like, mostly trying to get our numbers up cause things are not looking good lol, I'll definitely try to keep things running as smooth as possible with minimal disruptions to y'all so no worries! Adjusting the tiers is the last thing that I would wanna do. Sure as hell hope that things pay off haha.

Anyway, boring chit chat aside, let's get to the meat and bones that y'all are interested in! Game progress!

So for this week, I'll be working on a bit of Garden of souls as well as a bit of Neural Dive.

Specifically, the players and me have been discussing quite a bit on Discord about what to do for Garden of Souls. Though halfway we just started do speak nonsense haha, but yeap, totally professional Doggo will get a system up asap, maybe even a second scene, but have a pretty good idea of what would be the best way to do this while keeping things interesting. I really don't wanna make a "click through dialogue and get scenes" thing, cause it's really boring for me too, like really really boring, though some people will probably enjoy a woohoo slide show viewer, but I digress.

As for Neural Dive, I got the animation for Irene in and it is already being slotted into the game! So we will get her repeatable scene as well as Tessa's for all you feet degenerates. Y'all know who you are. Jokes aside, we'll also be getting Eiko and Ange in the game, which I am still surprised neither of them won the polls, could have sworn that Ange would have won cause of her baginzas, but maybe I underestimated y'all hahaha

That said, I'll be getting a survey form for Neural Dive up soon since we're at a fairly decent stage, mostly to see what y'all expect / think about the game. We'll also get one up for Garden of Souls after 4~5 updates as well once it's released!

Ah, it's not done yet, sorry! It's basically like 3 variants with 20+ characters, might take a bit unfortunately. So sorry for the wait!
