Progress update episode 3 - Plans, LEWD animations, timeline ...

Hey everyone, I'd like first and foremost to thank you for your feedback on the second episode.
I have taken note of your messages regarding bugs, complaints, and issues, and I will release a patch in two weeks to make sure that I've fixed everything.

But then again, your support and feedback have been amazing since the release and mean everything to me, so to you all, thank you.

I hope you're hooked and happy to tag along on this journey towards the third episode, and then more.

If you want to be on the lookout for hints about this update, I created a Twitter where I'll share some photos of the game and characters as if they were sharing it on their Facegram.
They will all let you know what's up with them ;)

So, I've been working for a week now on the third episode, and I want to reassure people about a few things, which is why this post in open to everyone and not patrons only.

There were concern about a few things, especially the fact that LEWD animations were available to patrons only.
I'd like to address this first.

My goal, is to make sure that patrons who support the project don't feel ripped off, and at the same time, allow everyone who wants to try out my game to actually be able to play it.

I'm pretty new to all this patreon system, since I'm a new dev and this is my first game.

I try to take a step back and put myself in the position of my patrons because I was and am supporting different devs too.

That's why this system of a free version and a premium version was applied. 

As I said to many of you before, I'm trying different things until I find the best way to reward supporters of the game, and grow my community, all while delivering the best game possible. 

I also decided to try another method of release for the third episode which will allow everyone to download the premium game.
I was thinking of something like this: 

1st week = $20 and above
2nd week = $10 and above
3rd week = $5 and above
4th week = Public release

I believe this will be a better way to reward supporters and let the game be available to everyone at some point, with every animations in it.

There will be a rework in tiers advantages to make sure that this plan can actually make sense, for exemple 15$ and 10$ patrons will receive the game at the same time, so I need to make it more interesting by adding another advantage to 15$ patrons.
That's a lot of little details that I need to take a look at.

We'll see, but I just wanted to make sure you know that I'm not trying to be a milker or anything, there are enough of that on Patreon in my opinion.

I intend to finish the game by the end of 2022 and create another after that, because I like what I do, I like reading your comments on my game, see that what I create makes you laugh, feel emotions, and that you enjoy it, which is why I want it to be my job.

And that brings me to plans and the timeline for the rest of the year.
EPISODE 3 objectives:

My goal is to release a new episode every three months.

I strongly believe that I can do it.

As for this third episode, every events and important decisions are decided and all I have to do now is follow my timeline and work.

I obviously can't come up with numbers as of right now, but I'm pretty sure every episodes will be similar in terms of static renders, animations, scenes, decisions.

So, that's pretty much it for this week's progress update.

I hope you have a great week-end, and I'll see you soon.
