About Chapter 10 release
🕑 Added 2022-08-10 11:11:07 +0000 UTCAfter my last post announcing I was planning on releasing Chapter 10 in two parts, separating Ian and Lena's POV, most of you voiced your concern and disagreement with that choice, and I can see why. So, obviously, a poll is in order to decide what should be done.
I tried to explain my reasoning a bit, but in the end I also share your opinion and I'd prefer to release both POV together. But at the same time I want to give you content, as much as possible and as fast as possible, both to keep you happy and engaged and for my own sake too. I want to share the fruits of my work, and it gets pretty stressful when too much time goes by and I'm not advancing at the pace I'd like. I try to convince myself quality takes time, but Patreon's subscription model almost demands for monthly rewards, and I just enjoy releasing content, but I want it to be content I can feel proud about. Anyway, there's plenty of reasons for and against this proposed release schedule, but in the end it's you patrons who get the final say on things like this.
I understand both options are problematic and will probably result in some people removing their pledges, but that's just the way it is and I'm fine with that. My goal has always been to create the best possible VN I can and hopefully you can enjoy that, so it's up to you if you want to experience Ian's part of the chapter first (it has about as much content as the entire chapter 5) or you prefer to wait until everything's completed, which I can't give an estimate time-frame yet (at least quite a few drawings from Lena's part are already completed, so it's not like starting a new development cycle from scratch).
So let me know your opinion down below and meanwhile I'll try to keep advancing the work as much as I can! There's already so much I wish I could show you...

Personally I'd like the chapters to be released in full rather than in parts. That aside, I totally support whatever works best for ya. Also, that new teaser pic! The quality is as great as always. So interested to see how things will develop in the Lena's corruption route in terms of her relationship with Ian. Will he find out? Can't wait!

I originally voted to release the episode as a whole but have since changed my vote. I feel that it presents the best solution as pledgers desperate for content get it more immediately whilst pledgers like myself happy to wait for the whole episode can just ignore the update until it is completed with the release of the second part. This solution in my opinion also presents possible benefits for Eva, firstly possibly lowering stress levels over the long development cycle of this update and worry over long term pledgers getting their “money’s worth”, but also financially as two releases spread over different months will potentially bring in more money from pledgers who bounce between tiers depending on whether there is a release due in that particular month.
