Good time of day, my dears! I have returned with the monthly news! (Sort of.)

So, there is quite a lot to talk about. First of all, everyone's favorite clown!

Over the past week, I managed to create around 1.1k renders, which I consider an excellent result. Every single one of them is a perfect reference for memes. The quality is also pretty solid.

If everything goes according to plan, I should be able to finish the renders by the end of this week, which is also great. However! I decided to split 0.1 into two parts, because why not? I doubt anyone would want to wait several months, or even a full year, for an update. (Maybe some of you would, but I do not want that.) So yes, the chapter is now divided into two parts.

Now, let us talk about the chapter itself and what you will encounter in it.

About the chapter

Our dear Clown, also known as Adam, had to enroll in the academy so that he would not let the others down. However, as is usually the case, that is far from the main reason. A hero license, that is the real source of his motivation!

There will be plenty of trials, plenty of chaos, emotional roller coasters, and dumb humor!

In the first part, I only covered the first exam, and... Well, never mind. This part mostly revolves around the android Rosa, Alicia the cat, and Lena. Isabella also appears briefly, along with two very interested elven girls. (And Beatrice, or Beat Rice? Don't know.)

On top of that, you can expect wonderful pacing, dialogue that will make you want to tear your hair out, and... that is it. As usual, everything is PERFECT (Cause it's a clown!).

Now, about the Q&A and the accents.

Honestly? I did not expect so many people to enjoy the accents. At first, I added them mostly as a joke, but in the end this seemingly “ridiculous writing style” will play quite an important role.

So, what is the final decision? The accents are staying. However, I will simplify the Icelandic and Norwegian ones, because too many people complained about them. The others will remain unchanged.

Overall, this episode, just like the game itself, has only one purpose: to help you relax and put you in a better mood. Drama, tears, and everything else belong in the space opera (Astreon). Here, we are here to have fun.

And now! The statistics for the entire act:

30,000 / 80,000 words

1,200 / 5,000 renders

0 / ??? music tracks
(No idea how many I will need to make.)

0 / ??? lines of code
(No idea either. The approximate amount will probably be around 30k lines, or perhaps even more.)

And now, the statistics for Act 1, Part 1:

30,000 / 30,000 words

1,200 / 2,000 renders

That is how things are going. If everything works out, I should be able to finish the update by the end of this month. Admittedly, I still have my university thesis defense and... a couple of real-life matters to deal with, but I do not think they will cause any major problems.

P.S. The final word count may end up being much higher than what is listed here. After all, there is still a lot that needs to be covered.

That is all for now. Peace and kindness to everyone!
