I sincerely hope this past year has been wonderful for all of you. Honestly, I'm not the best at these kinds of speeches. I'd probably start by saying what a complete MESS this year has been for me, hahahaha. I guess we could say we should just laugh it off a bit. Specially how disastrous it was. And I can definitely see the humor in all of what happened throughout the year. But frankly? I'm actually really hopeful about this coming year. I was fortunate enough to have loved ones with me for New Year's, and I hope you all had that opportunity too.
Your support throughout the year has been greater and more comforting than I could have ever asked for or imagined. I truly want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart and wish you all an amazing New Year!
I don't know how many times I can say this without sounding like a broken record, but I can't simply stress enough how grateful I am. I'm deeply in love with this project, and seeing your enthusiasm has always motivated me to keep going and make it better, even during the toughest times. About the update: I'm pretty far from my "workstation" right now - literally. I'm in a different city, typing this on an ancient laptop that's probably 20 years old. I'm a bit nervous about releasing this update. I'm not sure what kinds of bugs might pop up since I'm trying to do this on a different machine, using a version of Renpy I'm not used to working with.
Later today (or tomorrow for some of you), I'll release the update for Patreon supporters, mainly to show my appreciation for their continued support. I'd like to give them early access to it. I feel they deserve the appreciation. In about a week, once I'm confident everything's running smoothly, I'll release it publicly. I've got lots of plans for this year. I hope you'll all love what's coming! Happy New Year to everyone! Happy holidays!
