Hello everyone!
Sorry, the update is a day later than usual - It took me a little longer to put everything together for this first major progress report of 2024 - I wanted to include as much information as possible for you all.
Let's start with the fancy progress graphic:

And here is the more in depth one:

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice there are only really three areas left to complete, Danielle Solo, Danielle and Louise and the 'morning' scenes.
I've mentioned this before, but these scenes are quite large, given that the majority (at least on first playthrough) will play a loyal or 'Danielle / Louise' route. These routes need to be properly fleshed out and rewarding.
It's a balance, but I hope I will have achieved it. Let's did into some numbers:
1538 static images so far
11220 animation frames
(That's 187 seconds of animation)
8585 lines of code
36477 words
The writing is done, though it's now sitting with the editor to go through and give it a once, twice and thrice over.
In regards to the game systems, the end screen, achievements, hidden clickables, hidden images are complete. Outstanding is the relationship pages, a couple of bonus images that have been rendered and just need adding into the script, supporters page and a revamp of the end credit scroll.
And the release date is....
Soon. Honestly I really want to give you all a date but I don't want to rush these last scenes, they are important and If I try to hit an arbitrary release window I run the risk of the update not being up to the standard I set for myself.
I plan to have a firm idea for a release date next month - It will not be too long, But given the size (relative to the amount of paths in this update) testing will take some time.
To tide you over until then I will be releasing the Cindy "Back to School" series of images I produced during the holidays - Look out for these over the comming week.
Finally, I want to leave you with this monstrosity. This is a final label map of each 'scene' in this update. It's organised chaos! Actually, having this map has helped me immensely in keeping track with how each scene
should flow into the other.

Until next time, stay safe all.
