More about the update:

The "Mistake Arc" introduced in the previous patch v0.41 continues in this update, featuring new events and interactions between Mistress, Jack, and Sylvia. Your choices made previously determine which scenes you will encounter, leading to different experiences for each player depending on their decisions.

Initially, I planned to complete the entire arc in one update, delivering a total of 9 events. However, due to real-life work commitments and writer's block, I couldn't meet the deadline. Additionally, during my work, I noticed that my mindset was starting to drift towards cutting corners, which served as a warning sign for me not to exceed my capabilities to avoid compromising the game's quality. This life lesson has taught me not to set such ambitious goals in the future and promise things i can 100% deliver with extra stuff I could manage to get into update as a bonus for you :)

About next update after v0.45:

The upcoming release, version 0.49, will be available on April 12th. In contrast to previous releases that were released every two weeks, this one has a three-week gap due to some family commitments. Once I have taken a week off for rest, I will resume work on the next update and I will start to post dev diaries like usual, next update after that and other will go back to bi-weekly release schedule.

Next update will finish 'Mistake Arc' and will join together multiple pathways players could take through 'Mistake Arc' into one and will officially start swinging part of the game. It doesn't mean choices made in that part don't matter (they do !) but for a short short while there will be similar path before it starts to again split.

For v0.49 I plan to implement gallery so you will be able to see which scenes you didn't see with hints on how to obtain them. It is not a promise though, because I need to make sure quality of it is up to quality bar I want to reach. So if I won't be able to finish it by v0.49 release then it will go into v0.5x release.

As always I implore you to join our discord server where you can talk with rest and me about game, releases, feedback and other stuff :) It's more fun to talk about something you like together.

DISCORD INVITE

As previously mentioned in another post, I will soon be modifying the subscription tier structure. Other creators have suggested this change when I talked with them and I am willing to hear their advice. In the meantime, I've implemented a new sub option for up to 50 members who, for a fee of $5, will receive full access to all new releases immediately upon their release, without being subject to any future changes in tier pricing. I believe that those who placed their trust in my work early on deserve recognition. As such, regardless of whether the next few months or years bring further alterations to the subscription tiers, you will always be granted instant access to my games whenever a new patch becomes available. This sub will be up until it will run out. I plan to implement delay model with 0.5x update that will come after v0.49.

So if you like what I do and 5$ isn't a lot to you consider support :)
