[Update Status] Should 0.13 be split?

Hello everybody!

As I mentioned in the last progress report, I wanted to make a poll to see what you guys prefer.

Should I:

• Split it, which would end 0.13 right after a full lewd scene (but still a decent ending), and save the Chapter I finale for 0.14?

• Or finish Chapter I with 0.13, including a proper ending and a lewd scene?

Right now, I’m rendering until I need to write again (though I keep writing when I get new ideas, so the script isn't completely stalled). We're currently sitting at ~22,500 new words and 641 renders, but I expect to reach ~1000 renders until I write the missing scenes and the final ones with Kayla. If I go with the split, we’re probably looking at around 30,000 words and 1500+ renders total for 0.13, which is 2-3+ hours of gameplay. And at the current pace, I should be able to release it sometime in July.

The other option is to finish Chapter I with this update, though it turned out way longer than I expected. Remember C.A.R.A.? She hasn't even shown up yet! She’d appear the night after the final lewd scene if we split 0.13. Also, just to give you an idea: that final lewd scene (around the projected 30k word mark) is only about half of the remaining content I have "planned" for Chapter I’s ending. I'm saying "planned" because I'm pretty sure I'll keep getting new ideas while working on it. So I can't even predict how many more months this would take.

So, what do you think?

P.S. I had to include the render below where Chloe and Emma joins you and Kayla... making them enter the room took way too many hours not to share it 😅

Also found a nice compromise for Emma’s outfit 😍I think it's the perfect balance between showing too much skin and covering up too much! (Don't worry, the winner outfit from this poll is still 100% appearing, but only if I don't split 0.13!)
