Chapter 3 - General overview
So. Chapter 3.
My short break was quite relaxing. I didn't completely drop the game as it would have been too boring otherwise, but taking things a bit more slow helped a lot. You may also have seen my posts in between the releases where I tried out some stuff in daz.
As many have noticed, there was little mention of the more recent loss in Chapter 1 and even less in Chapter 2. That will now change with the ending in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 was generally a bit more on the light-hearted side, and we can't leave it like that for several chapters at a time, can we?
Briefly on the raw numbers, no guarantees as always at this early stage:
31000 words in the first draft of the dialogues (Chapter 2 - 27346 on release)
3259 estimated renders (Chapter 2 - 2424 on release)
2 new intimate scenes, number of animations still unknown
Focus Li Chapter 3 - 4 events
Focus Li Chapter 4 - 3 events
Sarah - 3 events
New main character - 3 events
Chapter 2 took almost 3 months of uninterrupted work to complete. I expect Chapter 3 to take 3-4 months, as there will be double the amount of animations this time. Additionally, I think once I'm done, the numbers (words and renders) could get a bit higher than stated in my estimates.
I will need about 1 more week to set up the new locations/characters and then I think the weekly progress updates can start again.

Well, just when I think I've found all the great AVNs, I run into this gem. That prologue was so damned good. So many feels. Congrats on an amazing and touching story. Last time I felt so strongly in an AVN was Leap of Faith and that is the highest compliment I can pay.
Such an excellent story! I stumbeled upon it on the net and I just had become a patron. I might be rotating my pledges between creators later on, but believe me, I want to support this VN all the way to the finish line!
....wow: I like your style to tell your story very much. On patreon I only found few stories that moved me so much. Please be a "slowburner", let the plot develop in its own speed. Mostly - to be honest - I am here for the adult stuff, but I like your mature style and so I became a patreon... I hope a lot more people appreciate your work and we are able to follow the plot. Thank you very much for your work.
Thanks for the support. Currently there are 8 more chapters + an epilogue planned. So, 15-20h of content to go, there's nothing really rushing me. Also the adult stuff will increase, but will never be the focus in terms of screen time. But I will try to make it as visually appealing as possible.
I'll patiently impatiently waiting for future devlogs.
I was kinda hoping the penny would drop between the MC and Sarah in Ch 2. Alas, it didn't, but when they do finally cotton on to their previously shared history, it promises to be a scene to remember.
A drop you want and a drop you shall get. I can promise you that much. But just not now :)
