Hello my dears 💚

The past few weeks have been quite eventful. I was away for four weeks due to a medical rehab, but before that, I dedicated myself to creating and planning several new artworks since I wouldn’t have access to my computer during that time. In fact, I ended up producing more than usual, which meant you my supporters on Patreon (and Subscribe Star + DeviantArt) received more artworks than ever before. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did you enjoy the increased content? Your feedback helps a lot!

While most of these artworks were exclusively available to supporters, I wanted to test how this approach would impact engagement. Unfortunately, it didn’t lead to attracting any new supporters. This was a bit disappointing, but it’s all part of the learning process.

Now that I’m back home, I’m fully diving back into rendering for the Visual Novel. There’s a lot of work ahead, but I’m excited to get back on track. Meanwhile, my co-developer and writer, Knytling, has made progress on the script for Episode 8, which is now about 50% complete. While this might not seem like a huge leap for the time spent, it's important to note that this episode includes a particularly complex scene which was hard to write and is set to be the largest episode so far!

On a less fortunate note, I discovered upon my return that my backup hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. This serves as an important reminder of why ongoing support is crucial. Your contributions ensure the project continues smoothly and that valuable work is safeguarded. After all, no one wants to risk losing everything due to a single hardware failure.

That’s all for now! Let me know your thoughts on the recent artwork releases, and as always, thank you for your incredible support.

See you soon with more updates!

Love, X3rr4 (and greetings from Knytling)
