[Status Report #4] Sicae - Episode 6
🕑 Added 2024-10-04 16:12:15 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone!
This is our final status report for this update. Let’s kick it off with the good news:
We finally wrapped up all the dialogue! We're in the home stretch now. There's still some rendering to do—specifically two sex scenes, a fight scene, and the ending scene—so yeah, there’s still a bit of work ahead. But hey, we're getting close!
I took a few days to catch my breath and do some side projects, including prepping for MBML Chapter 2 while waiting on a plugin that promised to improve Honey Select 2's shadow quality. Haven't heard anything new on that front, though. If nothing changes by Sunday, I’ll just move forward with the renders using what we’ve got.
Here are the current numbers:
Lines of code: 3,552
Renders: 485
Animations: 10
Music & SFX: 59
I’m guessing we’ll end up with around 4,000+ lines of code and 600+ images once everything’s polished up. If all goes well, I’m aiming to release the beta by late October or early November. As always, no promises, but I’ll do my best—without kicking the bucket, of course.
You can expect one more preview before we hit the beta phase!
Now, for a bit of a bummer announcement:
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the Chinese translation for Sicae. I know the expectation is there, especially since MBML has been translated into Chinese. Unfortunately, I have to apologize—Sicae won’t be getting a Chinese translation for this update. My translator for MBML is swamped with real-life stuff but will still be working on MBML. Sicae will eventually get translated—just not this time around. We'll have to see how things go.
Also, I need to mention something about Patreon billing.
Patreon’s introduced Subscription Billing, which means new pledges will get charged on the day they sign up rather than on the first of the month. I’ve decided to hold off on this change until November 2025. As a result, iOS users can’t pledge using the app until next year. If you’re trying to use an iOS device to pledge to an adult creator, I’d recommend using a browser instead. But honestly, I’m guessing most of you aren’t using iOS for this kind of content anyway.We’re sticking with the current billing method, charging on the first of each month. Hope that clears things up.
Alright, that’s all for this status report/announcement. I’ll catch you all in the next preview!
As always, take care of yourselves, and have a great day!

Simply closing the episode. I love how the story is progressing, and I'm really hoping you all will request another Sicae episode after this one. 😁

So story is now 100%... It feels so close now. 'and the ending scene' - NC, Does it mean that Ep6 is final(closing) episode of Sicae or just closing a Chapter?
