Monthly Update: Final Countdown Edition
🕑 Added 2020-08-30 20:15:18 +0000 UTCTime for another monthly update! The end is approaching! And also release 0.4. It has been a bumpy road, but things are finally looking good. Pandemics, job changes, moving... Hopefully, the worst is behind is by now, so let's get right to business!
The release target for 0.4 is the week between October 12 and 18 (mostly just because that's when I will be having a good break from my new job). So a bit over a month from now. Again, this is the early release for my Patreon members. The public release will be a bit later. And in case you have forgotten (wouldn't blame you), the next release will contain Alice's full storyline.
With that out of the way, the eternal $10 special series with Helen and Jane will finally continue on September 2 (next Wednesday). And regular Patreon content updates will start again on September 5.
Like before, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). It takes some stress off me so I can hopefully make a solid release and finish things properly.
The rest of the post is a mostly copy and paste from my last update for those who are new or want to be reminded what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support!

So, TL;DR:
* Possibly some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.
* Test release planned at some point before the real release, testing animation etc.
* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.
* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.

The new content has priority for now, but I might make an editing pass or two at some point.
Maybe, they can increase the game size quite a bit so we'll see how it goes.

Would there be polishing in the previous updates? Melissa's story (IMO the best so far) has some irregularities, like her informing the player about her... difficulties in bed time and time again as if it is the first time.

if these interactive 3d movie things go well and become a part of the game, will they be added to the already finished routes?

Good to hear everything is getting better. Can't wait for Alice.
