Update 7 devlog: Moving on to the coding phase!
🕑 Added 2024-01-12 19:17:55 +0000 UTCHey hey!
Another ongoing update! I'll try not to ramble too much as I often do when telling what's happening.
I kinda feel bad because the weeks leading to Update 7 have had very few Patreon updates. I love giving previews and keeping you guys up to date, but as you all know, Update 7 has so much stuff going on and pretty much every new visual we have (which there are many!) is a major spoiler. :(
Special apologies to the preview tier that didn't get much this month, but I'll make up for it in the future updates knowing which characters we'll design next! They did get a preview of one special rework we'll have in Update 7, which is Lust Resnick's new look, but other than that...
I, unfortunately, couldn't get out any previews of the TWO CGs we will have in Update 7. :P
I mean, I'm gonna cut their images to put them in-game with Blain early next week. Maybe then I'll be able to find something that shows and teases but doesn't reveal. Maybe...?
At any rate, the progress! I think the most important part is the progress. I'm happy to be able to announce that the writing for Update 7 is done, sitting somewhere between 13 and 14k words. Considerably larger than Update 6! I'll go through revieweing soon, but that means that starting next week I'll be working on coding and adding the visuals, then we'll head towards the beta and release already!
Usually coding it all up only takes me about a week, but this update has a lot more visuals and effects than usual, so I think it'll likely take a bit longer. I'm still confident that I can keep to the two-month schedule despite the holidays week and some distractions and have our Patreon release come out around the end of January! Hopefully! I'll keep you all updated!
Overall, it looks like so far Update 7 will have:
* Major story events
* Two CGs to illustrate them
* One brand new character, a rework of a sprite, and a lot of new expressions for some people
* Some new UI elements and screen effects
* A few new memory entries for the memorium
...and probably some more stuff I'm forgetting to list now. I'll list it all when the time comes, of course ;)
We're getting there! Not too long of a wait left now! I hope y'all will like it :D
Thank you!

Thanks for the devlog Sleth and it's understandable especially after the events of the last update why it's hard to share what's going on in 7 without major spoilers. I can't wait to see what happens next. Keep up the amazing work!
