Almost Done, But My Computer Needs Life Support

Hey everyone!
Remember how I confidently said the update would drop in mid-September? Well…
technically I wasn’t lying — it’s basically ready. The story, mechanics, choices — all working fine. What’s missing are the images. And that’s where things got tricky.
The real problem is that I decided to go a little overboard: I wanted every character to have multiple outfits, so that in cutscenes they’d actually appear in whatever clothes the player picked. Technically, I made it work. It looks great. But! Rendering all those variations is turning my computer into a space heater. And since my PC is closer to a toaster than a spaceship… yeah, it just can’t handle it. That’s what’s slowing me down.
I do have a couple of ideas to solve it (and no, selling a kidney for an upgrade isn’t one of them), so progress is moving forward — just slower than I’d like. Sorry about that.
A huge thank you to everyone who supports me on Patreon. Seriously, it helps me so much, especially when I’m sitting here arguing with my hardware about which one of us has fewer brain cells. I know there’s extra content promised for patrons that I haven’t had time to finish yet. I haven’t forgotten! Just need more hours in the day.
As for timing: I’m really hoping to finish everything by the end of September. Worst case — early October. But here’s some good news: I completely redrew the doctor’s model. It took a lot of time, but honestly, I think it’s the best one I’ve made so far. Hopefully, you’ll like it as much as I do.
