Status Update #40 - December 7, 2025

Apologies for missing last week; I wanted to wait to reset and start putting these out on Sunday again. Today's preview is a sketch of the arena for the Jeux de Dague tournament; it'll be revised to be larger in scale for the final game, but I do think the added touch of Valiancourt in the background there is looking good already.

Production is now underway for the next release; I've comissioned the new character sprites, as well as an additional thing that I'll hopefully be showing off here soon. Work may not begin on any of the CG's until mid-month, as I'm still finalizing the broad scope and plan/getting all my notes together, and I want my path forward to be totally clear before I spend any money on that.

In other news, back before Ep. 2 Part One was released, and combined Patreon/SubscribeStar revenue was less than half of what it is now, I made an ambitious goal for myself that it would pass 500 dollars US before the end of the year, which it just recently did! I think the game has been pretty successful for one that's just had one update thusfar, and I am increasingly feeling like I'm transitioning away from the phase of "uncertainty" where its unknown whether or not the game will be successful/viable. I'm not quite there yet, but once I am I can promise that nothing will stop me from continuing to make the game until its finished.

That's all from me for this week, thank you thank you as always! :)
