Status Update #59 - April 26, 2026

What's up; writing progressed quite a bit this week, and I got a couple really productive sessions in. I'll do my best to do right by my prediction of May 10th from last week, but who knows. I even had one day where I got way less done than I had anticipated, but what little stuff I did write at the very end of it almost made me glad that I had gotten so little done. After all, it wouldn't have existed, otherwise. I wonder if this is something other writers grapple with; the fact that the stuff they write would often be entirely differently depending on whether they do it today, or tomorrow. And so on. But I digress.

The bonus scene for this month is about done in terms of the art, but I need a bit more time to finish writing it. I'm shooting for a release date on the 29th. Here's hoping.

In addition to writing, I'll be working a bit on refining the censored version of the game. My publisher has just combed through it and given me notes on what still needs changing; the great part about this is that they've also identified several typos and small bugs that will now be fixed in the regular version of the game as well. It feels very much like a playtester went thru the game, so it's got less of an amateur-hour vibe now! 😄

Writing: 60-65% done
Coding: 0% done
CGs: 2 more to be made
Animations: 1 more scene to do
Background Art: 100% Ready
Music: 100% Ready

Thanks, and schöne Woche! I just learned that nouns are always capitalized in German. 😮
