Progress update  

Hey everyone!

Just an update to let you know all about what’s going on. So I do have to delay the release of Version 004C (again, again, a-bloody-gain). I didn’t get a lick of work done over my planned time this week, again due to real life stuff. You know when you get free time and you make the mistake of telling people, so they ask you to do things? Yeah.

No need for a panic, nothing like the world is ending or I’m ill or anything bad, just didn’t find the time to properly sit down and do any substantial work. Maybe something to do with the back to school rush, who knows, either way, I ended up doing more than I planned (non-game wise) and by the time I got back to my cpu of an late afternoon/evening, I was just burned out, turned on a game “to relax for an hour” and well, ended up doing nothing productive with SnakeByte.

This whole one-man-band thing I have going on means if I stop, everything stops unfortunately.

Still, let’s not have any doom and gloom, we’re just going to call these past 2 weeks my holiday (vacation) and get back in the saddle – starting today!

So first things first; I’m going to delay Version C until the 25th (end of the month) – mainly so I can get some content into the game.

You see, the Victory scene is planned to be either KyrstenxSerra OR KyrstenxKayostla depending on how many times Kyrsten was corrupted and went to the Refuge (game over room); more than once, get the Kayostla scene, otherwise get the Serra scene). All of it is written, but drawing is of course going to take a few sessions. I’m confident that I could get one of the above into the game by Wednesday if I were to release Version C then, but delaying it allows me to get both in and colour them (high priority).

Not to mention I can also get a start on the new enemy art and do a grab for each, meaning that the new areas will have something to actually experience in it, and the other story elements to actually populate the new area with something fun to play, as well as getting a start on the new dialogue.

This will push the update (004 F) to just before Christmas and start 2025 with Version 005.  

So, I apologise for my laziness, and thank those of you who stick around sincerely.

Those who unsub, I totally understand, and will make sure that your names are still included in 004C’s credits!

Again, I am sorry for all this faffing about. But the holiday season is over and I’m committed to getting back to doing Kyrsten (content).
