November Progress Report: Work Done, Thank
Hey Boo, The things got done? I don't know the differences in output but it got a lot faster. I want to throw out some caveats like work is getting busier and they changed all the hours but that's also been true most of this month. I finished a playthrough of Halo CE and finished all the picture editing and now the game runs.
The game runs. Boots. I can look at it and play. The process of finishing the art, putting it in a folder, and pasting the script into the code editor is the kind of magic that can only be interrupted by then trying to find all the spots that need to be indented for code to work.
I've been debugging for about a week. I have a list of errors that I am working through. Most of them are image related.
There are a few priorities for each test.
Image Check This is mostly going off a list of image errors I have. Some things get misnamed or have typos and I get to hunt those down in the folder or script and sometimes remake them in Daz.
Alpha Testing This will be a bare bones version of the game that I play through for image continuity and pathing. Corrections are done scene by scene. I have a limited pool of testers are this point who can talk about the story with me.

Beta ASAP This is the first taste for patrons at the right tier.
+Animations
Release Backers Backers current and from the past will have access through the discord. I am going to see if I can update the files on itch. +music +gallery?
Release Steam December 30* After I get the backer's the update, with all the simplicity that shipping an exe on itch alloyed, I'll get working on the steam version.
I feel like putting a date is good. This is my goal. There are more things to add before I put it up on steam. Steam does allow delays and the launch button is a manual, actual, button on Steam backend. So, I won't accidentally launch with the incomplete chapter 2 build that's been approved already.
There are a few things that might happen. It might not allow the game to be early access. If this happens then the game will be launched.
I want to continue my pattern that I started on itch where each update will increase the price to reward early buyers. As I understand this, I can do this with DLC if I can't add to the main game through early access or content updates. +Steam features +Relationship patch
Short Story Announcement If you've paid attention, my writing break has rendered a short story. It is around twelve thousand words, unless I edit the shit out of it, and it's called Silver Burst Six. I made a cover.
Worker-soldiers, mining for precious resources in the middle of an intergalactic war, find an anomaly inside a meteoroid. Before they can investigate, the mysterious totalitarian force ambushes them.
Rewards are a little skinny. I haven't been playing around with daz as much. Please file complaints along with your favorite girl and what would make you happiest.

Progress Requiem, Censorship, and Grace Ashcroft Cosplay
Hey Boo, I don't need help having quiet nights of the soul. I prefer my internal existential acid trips to actionable and proven threats.
Oh, to be a cat and not care where the cuddles come from but enjoy the cuddles all the same.
Usually, I have a nice little lunch day and I write out any thoughts I find interesting or want to share. I have them this week. I just didn't write them out because I've been working so well. I have so many more thoughts. Like why is resident evil so horny and how cool Grace's hair is but those will have to wait.
Progress
1,288 isn't bad but it might be a low for monthly productivity. I don't want to check.
I think I'm done emotionally processing all the changes and bleak near futures. I need to get the game on steam. It's an intellectual exercise now of proving exactly what will get approval. Steam is not backtracking on anything that they previously approved. There is a chapter 3 build on steam and approved. The problem is the next build needs to be approved.
I've seen lots of people rejected from steam but there are other factors with there games that muddle my conclusion.
I need to see a game with incest with a recent update in the last month. It can be a new release or a new chapter. If you've seen one, please let me know.
Grace Ashcroft and Resident Evil Requiem Ever sense the first trailer reveal of the mousey FBI, legacy character, and probable protagonist Grace Ashcroft, I've had one thought. She looks a fuck of a lot like Beatrice!
I didn't want to do a lot of work, because I'm busy, but I'm surprised just how little work I had to do to make Beatrice cosplay as this other character. It still a little gob smacked. With a little more work, I could just have a Grace model. So, this weeks special renders will be Beatrice dressed as special agent Grace Ashcroft. I have more renders in the queue that haven't finished but I'm just so happy.
The hardest part is that magic platinum grey blonde hair that absorbs light and seems to bounce it back. It took some tooling but I am so happy with how it turned out. Now the only thing missing is getting the post possessing to match the selected desaturation and crushed blacks of the Resident Evil lighting system.
The previous remake had a real life model for Ashley. So, I wondered if there is a real life Beatrice running around but not actor or behind the scene information has come out.
YOU CAN HELP ITCH AND BASKIN Free speech is in trouble. It's happening mainly do to small groups pushing their hang-ups on the public at large and Payment Processors just going along with it.
Two ways to help. First wishlist Baskin All-In on steam. Second see about pressuring Credit Cards into leaving Itch, Steam, and art alone.
Here's a link to steam
Here's some basic information and a link to a person with more.
Basically, small group of people dogged Master Card, MC dogged their business partners, then the business partners dogged the games platforms. So, the counter is to dog everyone in this chain, especially now that they are all pointing fingers at each other to dodge blame.
Ana Valens wrote a Vice article after the steam stuff happened and was ready with a counter. She had left Vice Magazine between the itch and Steam take-downs.
I encourage everyone to follow these steps in order to stop internet censorship. There are several campaigns with form letters and guides on what to say. Please, try to find one other campaign to follow before 4chan. What will I do?
Rewards every third Wednesday.
While you can see updates and get your name in the credits, I will not be distributing games from Patreon. Backers still have access to Baskin All-In on discord.
This months rewards have Cindy, who has been on my mind as I finish up her scenes.
And Beatrice as Grace Ashcroft. You better believe I'm going to hit this hard.

The BETA IS LIVE Hello Boo and more Boos! I'm super late with everything because I kept ironing things out in the beta. Everything is still on the way. This blog, this months rewards, and the beta but they are all coming. That's right, I said it twice-
The beta is uploading right now. All the metrics and the polish is done. I rounded out some additional renders today. 1332 things rendered. There are 1350 new assets in the character folder.
I finished adding music today and did another playthrough for the broken music codes and did one last tally of values and relationship triggers.
There is more than one animation but really, only one that people care about. So, I only count the one. All but one character from the main cast is introduced in this chapter. Now, they can interact and bounce off each other.
ONE WEEK OF BETA AND THEN CHAPTER 2 HITS ITCHIO MARKET
Who can Play the beta? Supporters at the $18 and hire tiers can participate in betas. Additionally, I've invited several cool helpful people to help me out as well. So, that's the cheap way to play the game early, in the future.
Where is the beta? ONLY ON DISCORD.Having people sign up on the support sites and giving them roles is the best way for me to distribute and collect feedback about the beta. Crowd funding sites make bad chat rooms.
I think that's about the size of it.
When the game hits itchio, everyone who already bought the game can download it from their libraries. Please, don't buy the game a second time.
Supporter rewards will get posted by tomorrow night but I'm pulling for tonight. Rewards This month I did a few images. Still, HD versions are available for patrons. I have special renders posted on the third Wednesday of every month for all 18+ tiers. This is going to be another thin month for pinups.
