Happy Holidays Everyone!

One of my longstanding patrons, Marc, made the image above. I figured it was a very wholesome depiction of the current festivities! :-).
Anyway, I'd like to thank you all for supporting my project the last year. I once again failed to finish the game, so I guess I have to keep going yet another year. Although I didn't release as many updates as I initially hoped, quite a lot has changed since last year. From having nearly no animations, the game is now closing in on 200 animations. With the aid of my new animator this trend will hopefully continue.
I've also been focusing a lot on "completing" the girls by giving each the ability to have multiple children. There is still some work left to do there, but eventually I believe we'll get there.
Your generous support also allowed me to go semi-pro this year. I cut down my day job to 80%, so now every Friday (and Saturday and Sunday, plus evenings on other weekdays...) is completely devoted to the game. I hope to increase that even further in the future, but that's something I'll need to negotiate with my employer and the big boss at home.
Speaking of the big boss. My wife has had a couple of minor surgeries last month and will start radiation therapy next week, but things are looking fairly good. We are hopeful we can put this nastiness behind us soon.
There are some challenges ahead, though. The RPG Maker engine I use for the game has it's limits. It's a bit different from other engines in the way that one has to reserve items, characters, variables, switches, etc. And you can only reserve a finite number of them. Most I am still far off from hitting, but one (Common Events) I've already hit. Luckily I found a workaround for it, so it's not an issue. Still it does mean I can't expect to keep expanding forever. I would prefer to finish the main story before hitting an eventual definitive roadblock, since I can always add side stories to an eventual sequel or spin-off game. Therefor from now on the plan is to make every other update about the main story (Qetesh vs Nergal). So I can keep up the progress on that front. In between I'll add side story updates for the sake of variation.
Anyway, I wish you all a terrific holiday and all the best for next year!
