Status Update 05/14/2024

uwu?

Hi everyone!
Once again, I need to start with an apology for being slack on updating my subscribers. It’s something I’m continuously working on, and I hope to do better in future. Currently writing this as I’m coughing up both my lungs, so maybe the fever struck as inspiration?
Anyway, status update. It’s been around eight months since the last release, and three months since my last update – which, I know, is a crazy long time. I’ve had some medical troubles with getting medication sorted and whatnot, then I hit a massive wall when it came to writing the script. Every time I tried to come up with something, my perfectionism told me it wasn’t good enough, and as time went on, the expectation that I had to put out some huge and Earth-shatteringly cool update got bigger and bigger in my own mind to the point I got stuck. The old vicious cycle.
But here’s where we get to the silver lining!
I’ve managed to pick myself up out of my rut, dust off, and actually get through a chunk of content this past week or so. I don’t like putting numbers on things because it builds expectations, and I'll probably continue to not do so in the future, but I feel like people need something tangible after all this time. So I can reveal that the current state of the script (note, the script, not the episode overall) is around 80% done. If everything goes well, I’m hoping that I can have 0.4 out within the next 6-10 weeks (though obviously creating scenes and QCing everything takes time, so please don’t hold this as a hard-and-fast deadline!)
I understand that there are some who are concerned that maybe the game was canceled, so I hope that this helps with that. 
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who still continues to support me despite my lack of updates and releases, and I hope you’ll all continue to stick with me while I figure this whole dev thing out.

Hopefully, this adorable gallery of Sam in a micro-maid-kini-thing will help make up for my slowness, now featuring path-traced shadows and all kinds of other neat doodads.

Developus Noticus: 
As you know, this update has been in development for a bit. I could give you a lot of reasons for the delay, but if we’re being honest, I think I just got nervous about how many eyes were on this thing. I became a little paranoid about making the best possible game I could, which ended up causing me to agonize over the direction the story was headed in for way too many hours. I made scenes, edited them, rewrote them, then cut them more times than I can even count. Truth be told, I expected this update to be larger than it is, but I had to make the decision to cut it somewhere or risk stewing in development hell until the end of time. 

Overall, while I’m disappointed in myself for not releasing a whole-ass novel with this update, I’m fairly satisfied with the content of 0.3 itself, and I really hope that shines through when you're playing.
