Hey brother,I agree. I haven't been slacking on game progress, but I do drop the ball on Patreon status updates sometimes. Unlike here, they tend to be a quiet bunch. The party and after party are the big events for 0.9.0. (I hope MC has enough stamina...) Then I have 5 ancillary events slated. I'm slogging along. I have just over 350 still images rendered and 35 animations done. Inside baseball info, the party is a big scene with a lot of Gen 8 characters in it. Loading the scene in Daz and rendering is really slow with that many resources in the shots.
I'd love to give a solid date of when 0.9.0 will be done, but I don't want to be tagged as a "The dog ate my homework" dev. We have my elderly mother living with us and she is scheduled for heart surgery tomorrow. It's a simple procedure according to the surgeon, but you never know.
Tats: Spoiler alert! I'm not larping, I am a lifelong biker. Mine had bright colors when I got them, but they have turned mostly blue/black over time. Probably my fault since I've exposed them to a lot of sunlight over the years. As for MC, I'm using tats that came with that character. They are all black. I may look at if I can add some color to them. I'm not the best at modding assets, but I was able to modify a plain black vest asset to make the Rogue and Minion vests. I have other tattoo assets with color also.

I know you aren't larping. I can tell in the way you handle this unique story. I only have one tattoo, a serpent wrapped around a sword on my left upper arm. While my once bright colors have faded some over the nearly thirty years since I first got this art, the colors are still vivid, the blue and green in the serpent's body in particular. The red tongue and gold pommel of the sword retain only vague traces of their original shades but are still visible. But, I am pretty much a hermit and always preferred to go out at night rather than full sunlight, the likely reason my color is still visible and fairly vivid.
I love that you gave the ladies the vivid color and the men more black and grey shade skin art in this game. It fits with the biker folks I have known in my day. I love what you've done. Stan's art, in particular, is chilling and rather realistic. I love mama Della's art too. Speaking of mama Della... I love the words on her chest piece, "Love has wings, not anchors." I thought that very same sentiment would be perfect to add to a full body view of Jessy sprouting white angel wings, flying aloft above an anchor with a broken chain with those words in a banner, "Love has wings, not anchors" separating the two parts of the image. It would make fitting tribute to the little "pocket hottie" angel babe that put wings on our MC and enabled him to fly. It would also be a fitting tribute to mama Della and the Rogues who have taken him in like their own family. Pretty sure that MC would want to ask for approval from Della and Stan both before getting it because it is Della's artwork and a representation of her own heart. But, given how they feel about MC and Jessy, I'm pretty sure that Stan would defer to Della and that she would burst out in tears of joy at the thought and surely say yes. That is just my two cents worth of thinking out loud there. I share the idea in case you like it too. Please feel free to use that idea if you like and it's even possible to implement or shit can it if you don't like it or it just isn't feasible. Just saying where my heart is at having fallen in love with these characters and this story. Thank you, brother.
As for a date of next release... some things are best left as a surprise. It's not like I don't check in here on the regular anyway just to chat about the games, story and characters as well as offer tips on how to unlock certain aspects of the games I enjoy. It will be ready when it is ready. Meanwhile, family ALWAYS comes first. So, take all the time you need to care for mom and we will see the update once you are ready to release it. It sounds like you have certainly been busy! Other devs that I like, respect and follow don't make nearly as much progress in a single month. 350 stills and 35 animations is terrific progress! Huzzah!
Anyway... Phat is rambling on yet again... Have a great day!Adventure ever on brother, Phat
