State of v0.67 and general stuff

Hi guys,

Update on v0.67
After my 'tour de graveyard' holiday break, I came home and got sick (just the flu). Today, I finally feel well enough to work on v0.67, so that’s what I am doing. I want to take this opportunity to address some questions that have popped up in private messages and on various forums, which I find worth responding to.

So what will be in v0.67 ? 
The next update includes two erotic scenes, focusing on swing/NTR. My original plan was to release it on November 12th, but I feel that one week is too close for comfort. Therefore, there might be a few days' delay. However, this largely depends on my work rate until the 12th. If my productivity remains high and nothing unexpected happens in my private life, I might still meet the deadline.

What are the plans after v0.67 ?
After v0.67, the next version will be v0.7x, marking the start of a new arc. This will be a major and important arc that leads me to make the first significant split in the game's story, with two paths that are exclusive to each other. However, this presents a problem:

I can either work on both at the same time, which means very slow progress overall, or do them one after the other, which allows for faster progress but means you’ll have to wait at least a month for the other path. If you don't make the right choice in the story, you won't see new content until then. I tend to favor doing one after the other as it will allow for a faster overall pace and it allows me to better focus on that part of story to do better job.

What about the future ?
After the v0.7x arc, the two paths will again join for a finale in the v0.8x arc, which will be relatively short (but expansive due to C&C) and then proceed into v0.9x, which will bring various endings. Originally, I planned to complete game development by the summer of 2025, but due to a slight expansion of some scenes and how the creative process works when translating a rough story into its final form, I can already see that v0.7x will take time until at least the end of January, possibly even February. The v0.8x arc should be finished by March, I think. Originally, I planned to finish v0.8x by the end of this year and then leave half a year for endings (my endings are quite comprehensive, involving more than just 2-3 scenes as people usually do). So with those endings, version 1.0 should be out by the fall of 2025.

Some stuff.
Originally i planned this game to be 8 hours long max but it kind of grew a bit especially script wise. When endings will start to be made I will also be going over whole game and see where i can trim down some fat as game will easily expand to 10h+ in some endings. It's better to be lean and mean than bloated and sleepy. I will also revisit game start to get it up to snuff with rest of the game as my work improved a lot since i started the project.

That's all from me today. Cheers folks !
