Hey everyone,

I'm sorry to say I've made a big mistake this month! I unfroze the billing because I thought I would get out a story update this month. Unfortunately I won't be able to: I thought I could finish the last of the programming updates AND write the new story content, but actually the programming took way longer than expected.

To apologize, I will freeze next month's (August) billing, but I will still release an update in August (so that your payment this month is paying for the update).

Sorry for this, it was a mistake in judgment on my part. 

A few people have asked me if the project is in trouble, or if I have stopped making it. I just want to confirm that the project has not stopped, and I have been working on it just as regularly as ever. I am a writer more than a programmer, and so doing all the coding needed was quite a challenge for me. My goal these last few months was to get the programming out of the way, (especially upgrading the game to make a large Twine project like this sustainable), so I can focus on the story. 

Thank you everyone who has been patient through this gap. Once this part of the game is set up, I will have regular story updates for you again.

Thanks,

Hey all,

I got a lot of the backend / UI update work done this month. I feel like I need just one more month to complete it, so I'm freezing the Patreon / SubscribeStar one more time for this month. Thank you for your patience - R2R will 100% be back after this one!

In the last month, the work I've done is:
- Upgraded the project to use TweeGo instead of using the Twine App. As a player, you won't notice any difference from this, but it was much needed for the game's development. It was an essential change to be able to manage a large Twine game like R2R in the long run. This was hard to do, but already I am finding it has been so worth it.

- Lot's of UI made and improved, especially stats and makeup screens.

- Some improvements to gameplay stuff, such as stats levelling up as you get to certain levels, and new statuses. 

Sorry for the delays. Very close to sorting out all the issues and future-proofing the game so I can focus on writing and bring you more sissy themed fun!

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update on how Ready to Reform is going!

Work on R2R is mostly going well, I am working on it just as regularly as ever but I still run into the problem that I have to work on backend programming stuff or making new menus etc, which takes me away from making new content (story / gameplay) - (sorry for sounding like a broken record at this point!)

I feel pretty close to dealing with all this though, and as I've mentioned before, by the time we reach the end of Part 2 (Javier USB objective), I think all these issues will be dealt with, leaving me able to focus on writing. A lot of these backend issues are because R2R is probably going to turn out to be a large Twine game, and I need to program and organize it in an effective way, which I've been learning how to do better as I've gone along.

This month, I tried to complete both writing the Dr Mifune update AND tackling these issues, but it hasn't worked out - I still have lots of backend stuff to tackle AND more Mifune update to make. So I am going to approach this differently:

I am going to extend the Patreon and SubscribeStar billing freeze again so you are not charged, while I focus on dealing with backend issues, and then finish the Dr Mifune update for you. Instead of giving a deadline, I will unfreeze the billing when the Dr Mifune update is ready.

This is not a hiatus, I will still be working as much as I can on the project - I am freezing because I do not want you to be charged for these backend / UI updates, I want to only charge for updates that give you more story, gameplay, or add/modify existing parts of the game .

I'm sorry to ask you all to be patient for a bit longer - I'm very excited to get more out to you!

Thanks,

Midnoblu
