A ride, and more!
Hello here!
I'm not really the most diligent with these progress reports anymore... I struggle to manage all the different media (Discord, Patreon, Steam, etc.), and it also takes quite a bit of time.
And speaking of time... Things are moving along! I'm really making good progress right now, I'm happy. I'm probably motivated because we're gradually, little by little, approaching the end of this chapter.
But also, and this is something that isn't official at all for the moment, there's a possibility that I could switch to working full-time on developing GS. It's under consideration, and also a potential huge leap into the unknown, but it's also what I want (I think). That said, it's not done yet, but it's already very motivating!
On the development side, I've been doing mostly posing and animations. And on that note, I'm happy, I was able to reuse what I had learned in Blender to create very stylish animations without losing much time (less than a day per animation). And that also makes me quite proud!
Here's an example of what I've done!
You see, it's quite clean I think. In any case, I really like the feeling.
I try to make these reports on Patreon more "personal" than those on Steam, at least that's the idea.
As for the numbers (because they're also important ;) ):
963 renders (yes!)
6500 animation frames (109 seconds)
3500 scripted lines and 500 more to script
3200 finished scripted lines
As you can see, it has really progressed quite a bit. Roughly speaking, I have about 8 scenes left to do: 4 classic but quite heavy scenes, 2 action scenes, and 2 naughty scenes. We're not quite at the end yet, but you see, it's going well!
See you soon, and again thank you for your support and patience!

My suggestion when it comes to updates is to break up your updates into, "for Patreon subscribers", and then there will be a section that you allow/encourage for us to then re-post on the different platforms. I know several that never post on Steam unless there is a content update or a major status update(every chapter/episode might be the only times there is an official update on Steam). Obviously, you aren't quite to that point, but spending a lot of time on all these different platforms that could be spent in development is a choice. There are definite rewards that come from it as well, but once you get to the point of having several thousands on Patreon, it wouldn't be financial/marketing reasons for you to continue engaging with the sometimes toxic people on other platforms, so getting more selective in who you interact with would be more natural at that point. Whatever you decide, the game so far has been great, and clearly getting better, and that will mean your support base will continue to grow.
Who's in the car? 🚗
Indeed, that's a good question! Who's in the car?!
I am very excited about this next update. I can see your quality (as always) is beyond excellent 🤩. It would be even even more wonderful if you could work on this game full time. A dream come true for me ❤️.
