The big announcement is that for the month of May only, I won't be doing the Monday pinups because I want to take that time to get the next game update finished. Obviously I'll still be posting TRW comic pages and strips, I'm just taking a break from the two Monday pin ups and Isaac's Adventures that I would normally do in a given month.
So why make this move? Well to be honest lately I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by just how much work is still left to do before this game is complete. None of the content that remains is anything I could bear to cut, so that means it's time to double down and focus on making progress quickly. And I think I could get a lot done if I had some breathing room next month.
As for what's left: I figure four major updates remain. Up next is Millie's complete quest and the second half of Jane's. After that, Bria's complete quest along with a subquest starring another character that if you haven't heard me say already I won't spoil here. After that, the ending. The ending will be a BIG one, but the final update after that may be even bigger. That's where Kal (my programmer in case you didn't know) and I will go through and just polish everything up as best we possibly can.
This project has been incredibly fun and rewarding to work on, but I don't want to still be making it in 2023. I have other interests I'd like to focus on such as commissions, animation, or maybe even a new (and for crying out loud smaller) game project that could build on what we learned making this first one. In any case I hope you understand my decision to shift things around for the month of May, and meanwhile you know where to find me if you have any questions!

In a sense. Kal from the comics is the OC of my friend/programmer Kaldonis. Kaldonis is going to need a new handle to avoid confusion I believe. XD

Any pun intended with Kal the mechanic and Kal your progamer?

High fives! :)

Good to hear!

Much appreciated! And don't worry, avoiding crunch is a big part of why I'm making this move.

I hope so! :)

Glad to hear it! :)

Do what you got to do. I still remember when you were on Tumblr and the game first came out lol but 2023 does seem far for a creator. So you do what you feel is best and we`ll be here waiting ;)

Rock and roll, Rein! This sounds like an excellent rearrangement of your projects. The visual novel is a blast so I totally commend you for giving it some priority in your workload.

2023 still takes me by surprise and sounds like a super far away year to me lol. Where does the time go
Bob Fink
Sounds like a good plan to me, and I hope it gives you the breathing room you need. Anything to get more of the game. ;D

No worries, I think we can go a whole month without pinups. Just don't crunch too hard, we don't want you falling ill or hurting your hand trying to finish the game.
alex baker
Sounds like sound logic

Take the breathing room you need. Considering the game is years in the making, it's OK to give yourself the workspace to finish it. We still got your back. Glad to hear we will still be getting strips though. Those are the best.
