Hey everyone! 

We're sorry to make this post, but unfortunately we won’t be able to deliver an update today. We are very close and have been working through the weekend, but we aren't going to have enough time to finish development. In particular, the final testing and polish stage would be extremely rushed. 

As such, please expect Episode 05 to be released this Friday, the 5th of September. 

To go into things in a bit more detail: Obviously the increased scope of the animation in this update has given us a little more to deal with than we expected, but that is not the only factor. There have also been some last-minute rewrites which delayed production on those animation variations (Roughly totaling at 130 in Episode 05, compared to Episode 04’s 44), which ultimately ended up being the reason that we missed our internal goal of delivering the update by today. 

As it turns out, the increased production value on FUNS compared to TTP has been a lot heavier on us than we expected. We knew it was going to be ambitious, and we are proud of the results, but it has been a significant challenge. We will continue to try to improve at our craft so that we will be able to deliver high quality updates in a more timely manner, but the long work days that some of our team members have currently been dealing with are not sustainable. 

That being said, we’ve decided that we should warn you that going forward, it’s quite possible that updates may take 35-40 days to develop, rather than the ~30 from our previous project. That isn’t a guarantee that things will take longer, as we are working hard to curb that and consider it a priority, but we do not want to disappoint our fans with false promises. Additionally, if the episodes end up taking longer than that to produce, we will do our best to communicate that to you as far in advance as possible. 

Thank you very much for your exceeding patience and support, we will do our best to meet your expectations,

Hello everyone! 💜

A few tidbits to share with you today, the first of which is this preview of Episode 05. Usually our previews are still images, but we figured today we would treat you to a tiny animation to help tide you over. Here it is:

Now, part of the reason we decided to preview an animation today is because of how prominently they figure into the next update. Originally, we started off our planning for Episode 05 with three animations. Then that climbed to four. Now we have five. That isn’t counting variations as well, which will be quite numerous.

All that considered, it is going to make the prospect of us releasing by the end of the month a bit tight. We did briefly consider cutting a scene so that we might release it earlier, but ultimately decided that wouldn’t be for the best and would make the update feel disjointed and incomplete. So we are pressing forward, attempting to complete the update before the end of the month, but we know it will be pretty close if that’s what ends up happening, and we figured you should know.

Before we head out, here is a look at our current progress:

That’s it for today! Please take care and we will work to get the update out as soon as possible 🙏

Hey everyone! 😋

Just a quick update today to let you know how our progress on Episode 05 is coming. Once again we are trying to pack this episode full of juicy scenes for you to enjoy, including many animations, so we still have a fair amount to do. 

Here is a breakdown of everything: 

We are, of course, working as fast as we can to make something we can be proud of and you can enjoy. In the meantime, please take care and stay safe out there 🙏

Hey all! 💜

Progress report time! Also an illustration! Also Episode 04 for our Game Access Patrons! 🙏

What a day 😌

Okay, to start, that illustration down there! It’s right there, hard to miss 😋 But if that’s not enough, here’s a Full-Resolution version to really soak it in.

Finally, the progress report:

It isn’t quite as far along as usual due to the fact that we were working on Episode 04 right up until its release. Still, we will work hard to get the next episode out as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.

That’s about it for now. Until next time, take care! 💜
