Hey there, everybody! Hope your week's been treating you well.
Still rolling right along here on my end. At the moment I'm closing on on 750 renders for the next chapter, and I'm trying to keep that momentum going while I'm feeling it. Lots of challenging stuff to render in this one. Lots of new settings (which don't get used for very long), shots in traffic, etc. Sometimes I wonder why I couldn't just be one of those dudes that does a game set entirely in a single location.. :'D
That said, I'm digging how it's going! Sometimes I kinda have to drag my feet through a scene, or multiple scenes, and I'm not sure if they're working. But I'm having a lot of fun with this stuff, and hopefully that translates through the screen to you folks.
I keep having people ask me the big question: when's the release date for the next chapter? And I'm afraid I have to keep deflecting, because the answer's always the same: as soon as I can possibly have it done. But I don't want to say, "Okay, it's totally going to be done on [X]! Get ready!" and then have to revise, revise, revise the date as the reality of my limitations settles over me.
All I can say is that I'm working every day to get it into your hands. It may sound trite or cloying, but I sincerely don't take it for granted that people will just keep supporting me forever, no matter what I deliver. Because I've been that supporter that stuck around month after month, only to finally lose faith in the face of constant excuses.
That's why, when it comes to what I
do deliver, it's always the stuff that's well within my control. So you get a dev update once a week, a wanton weekends every other week, a sneak peek every week, and the highest supporter tier gets a demo once a month, with whatever new content I've completed. Because that's what I
can do.
All that said.. I do get a little grumpy when people tell me I'm slow, dragging my feet, etc. Just as a reminder, this year I took January off (pausing pledges), did a mini-game to provide more background on a love interest (which was like 170+ images), redid Chapter 1 (850+ images), added a bunch of brand new content to early chapters, while integrating them with the newly remade stuff (525+ images), and began work on the first chapter of Season 2 (750+ images). Now, I know I'm not the Flash, but that's still a pretty nice chunk of content, and I'm basically on track for my normal update schedule.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. :'D I'll leave you now, sparing you anymore Grumpy Neon ramblings. Enjoy the sneak peek at the script ahead, and as always: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

uk"Absolutely, sir. Please, follow me. Right through here, sir. Second door on the right."
mc"Uh, thanks.. Second door on the right.."
"You push through the door, and find yourself confronted with a narrow stairwell, leading into the basement. Fluorescent bulbs buzz overhead, and light glints off the sickly green paint."
mc"Hh.. Sure. My life can't get any fucking weirder.."
