Friday Update - February 5th, 2021

Happy February, True Believers!

We have now survived a month in the post-2020 world, so... yeah, congratulations on that.

"But Teri!" I hear you say, because you left your mic on and are broadcasting it on your Discord, "what news of Mythos?"

I'll freakin' tell ya what news of Mythos -- Chapter One is now 90% complete. Yes, it's really, truly, almost done.

With that being said, I am still not going to set a firm date on the release, because I know that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.

So what's left?

· 1.5 scenes worth of renders; guessing about 30 total, but that doesn’t include:
· 2 animations (not as hard as you'd think!)
· The achievement reward renders (that's only 8 or 9 more)
· "Special Thanks" pages (shown at the end of the chapter)

To put that into perspective, here's what's been done already:

· About 4500 lines of code
· 10.5 scenes
· 370 renders (and I'm gonna guess about 100 re-renders as I learned things or noticed big problems), which again, does not include:
· 4 animations
· Learning how to use Daz, Ren'Py, Photoshop, Patreon, GitHub, and commas (jury is still out on that last one)
· 7 character interviews (plus one Eris interview)

I've taken off work all next week in what I hope is one final push to get Chapter One done and tested. Once that's finished, there will be two releases:

· For patrons of "Rain's Employee" level or higher, they get all of Chapter One
· For everybody else, there will be a "preview" build which will take you through the first third of the game.
· Four days after that, the "Monica's Partner" level patrons will get the full Chapter One.
· Then finally, a week after the $5+ patrons have their copy, the first chapter game will be released fully to the public!

So get hyped! Months of work is finally gonna produce something!

... fuck, I hope y'all like it.

Until that day, keep the legends alive!!!
