Fighting the Brain Mush (v0.36 Next Week!)

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long gap between update posts - more on that in a bit. If you're ever anxious or worried about me (I've gotten some lovely check-in messages! ❤️) I'm usually hanging around on the Discord and give less formal updates as I'm working on stuff.

So, what have I been working on? Writing the Jock's new night time scene has been my focus, I'm happy to say that it's now fully coded and written. The main scene is something like 5000 words (it's 5800 words with code; I'm eyeballing the proportion) primarily split between two sex options. Those two options both have three major variations of their own, and then a bunch of cumshot decisions as appropriate. Now I'm doing all the integration stuff to fit the event into the game, along with some much shorter interactions that lead into or come after it.

I had hoped to have this writing bit done two weeks ago, but my brain decided to turn to mush and refused to engage with anything creative. This 'wall' fades over time, and it fades faster if I can get something productive done. To help make that happen I took a little detour to an easy task and coloured the art for the Caves of Grothnar map.
I really want to animate those lightning bolts. That''ll be a future project.

Now it feels like I've pushed through to the other side of my mental block, and v0.36 just needs a little bit more work. Unfortunately, I have some commitments that will be stealing me away for the weekend. Rushing a release always end up being a mistake, so we'll be taking this slow: the plan is a bug testing build on Monday night (Aug 4th), and a full release build the next day or two, depending on how many issues crop up.

Thanks for your patience! Hopefully the new writing is hot enough to justify the wait!
