First update of the Patreon account! To begin with, I'd like to thank everyone who can read this so much for supporting me. Even if it's only a dollar, your support means the world to me, and helps validate my decision to keep going with the game. I really can't express how much I appreciate the encouragement and feedback I get from all of you, so: Thank you.
Secondly, the status of the game is thus: The level portion of Level 2 is fully completed, the bossfight is functional but buggy and without a lot of the content added yet, and I am currently working on the fetish animations (which I tend to just refer to as 'grabs') for that fight. Once that is completed I will still need to do significant bugfixing, add sounds and music, complete the five or six small cutscenes in the level, complete the game over screens (of which one is currently finished), and implement a save/level select system, as well a gallery system into the main menu. And the main menu also needs to be finished.
While that does sound like a lot, once the grab animations are all done progress will speed up significantly. Currently we're probably looking at two to three months work before the second major release of the game, although I can't say with any certainty that it won't be longer or shorter than that.
Finally, as a token of my gratitude for those that have chosen to support me, a while back I started writing a second interactive story featuring Texas, though a far simpler one. Each junction would offer two options, one of which would continue the story, and one of which would result in a 'bad end'. I had hoped to release several of these mini-adventures to flesh out Texas's home of Gold Springs and its extensive rogue's gallery, but it turned out to be far more work than I was anticipating. Sadly, even though I was close to the end, I never managed to finish the story off and likely never will, as I would prefer to dedicate my time towards the game, but so that it never goes to waste, I've attached the Word document of the unfinished story. I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.
Thank you all again!

My pleasure, I'm glad you approve! I actually started doing it for myself - I could tell the story was something I was gonna enjoy, but I wanted to enjoy it properly so I came up with the idea and started copy pasting it into Ren'Py while trying to read as little as possible, and I only properly read the story after I was finished... (and I did, indeed, enjoy it ;)) If you ever do finish it or have any other thingies you'd like to see put into Renpy, I wouldn't mind lending a hand, so don't hesitate to ask!

Wow! You did a really fantastic job on this! Thank you so much! It's certainly a lot more enjoyable to play through in this format, that's for sure! Almost makes me want to go through and finish the damn thing. Really awesome work!

Hey, so I hope you don't mind, but I've taken the liberty to transfer The Great Train Heist into Ren'Py format. I didn't edit anything, just copy pasted it into Ren'Py one line at a time and put up a black background. Just figured it would be slightly more fun to read it while actually getting to click the choices...

Maybe some day in the future...
