The Gallery

This is my biggest focus right now, so I am going through and collecting everything I want for the gallery. I have already started making some thumbnails as well. Once I have everything, I will start writing the walkthrough for the gallery images, which Lotus will use to code where they go. This way, it always lines up with what you folks have in the walkthrough.

It's a big job, but once we've figured it all out and done this giant gallery implementation, we will be lined up to do this every month for each build.

Coding

Lotus is touching up the gallery code, finalizing the SFW, and working on a lot of behind-the-scenes coding fixes. We delivered the Ep 1 script, so he is going to start changing that soon. Once I get what I want for the gallery, he can start on that.

Animation

Our backup animator is still moving, so once he gets out of that awfulness, we can reassess things on that front. It honestly looks like there won't be any new animations for v0.15.5 at this pace. Which is sad, but we are still going to get them done. The goal is always to get more funds to get more animators.

As for Episode 2, the first lewd scene is nearly done! Koth says 21 out of the 27 tracks are finished, so it's just the home stretch left.

Backgrounds

Pamika and I decided to restrategize a bit on how we handle the production of backgrounds. Since then, she has been just cranking them out like crazy! We already have 3 backgrounds done for the next episode, which is an amazing pace! Pamika is also our UI designer, so at this speed we should be able to pivot at some point and do some new UI stuff.

Writing

I am still plugging away at the Episode 3 script! I have about one day a week to write, and this past week I got 4.6k words done, bringing Ep 3 to 15.5k at the moment.

Frisbee has been reading over the Episode 2 script, and we are going to have a meeting soon to go over it in detail before she starts her edit.

Wrap Up

I'm in the gallery mines, which is good, since I know everyone wants it. Just going to try to lock in and get that done asap.

I also found this amazing article written by Eternal_Savvy about their experience with Hazelnut Latte, and I thought it was utterly incredible.

Time to get back to work, but I want to thank everyone for their continued support! Be kind and stay Rad!
