if i noticed/remembered to check sure why not. what is there is good and weather or not he lies is irrelevant if he isn't taking patreon or similar cash. honestly since the release schedule is effectively 1 story per update this isn't even that bad. but i'm not holding my breath

The update is locked behind the paywall, but I'll guess it's the ol' reliable "everything's almost done. No patreon charges until release. Steam may be coming soon." With a mix of "Recovered some of the data, but most of the animations are gone, my dog stepped on a bee, reworking some of the missing renders and we'll be back on track for a release soon enough."

He has been saying "almost" ready since November 2019. Wait, wait, wait, wait! I figured it out. When he says "0.4 is almost ready", he doesn't mean the update is almost ready. He means that 0.4 is almost ready to be worked on. See!? He hasn't even started, but he is almost ready to start.
true it is far from ideal. in different context that would make it 2 missed updates tho
not really expecting anything to happen but i'd play if it did. it was a nice story iirc.

Another month is ending, which means it's time for the traditional monthly update! Hardware issues are now all fixed and I have been re-creating some content and renders that self-destructed along with my hard drive. Fortunately, there were not many of them, as most were backed up.
So, good news! Things are mostly ready for release 0.4 again! I have learned not to make any promises, but I should be able to press that "Build Release" button soon. I'll probably give the script a proofreading pass or two and see if I spot any other issues, but so far things are looking good. Expect another update after next weekend or so!
And as always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then).
The rest of the post is mostly copied from my previous updates for those who are new or want to be reminded of what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support and patience!

So, TL;DR:
* Next release 0.4 will have Alice's full storyline.
* Some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.
* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.
* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.

Holy shit, it's almost ready.
I'm so excited.
It's only been almost ready since Christmas 2019.

Add this one to the pile. That now makes 31 months in a row of mostly ready. "Yelling off screen" Someone get Guinness World Records on the phone!

The Oxford Dictionary hasn't had this many proofreading passes.

Jesus Christ, GRR Martins 11 years (and counting) for a huge fucking book like The Winds of Winter isn't as maddening as this shit here.

At least with GRRM we ACTUALLY know the type of bullshit he's doing that isn't writing the damned book. With Stencilbits all we know is v.04 will have the Alice Route. It's almost done all it needs is a little proofreading/polishing. Experimenting with video animations. Not sure if the game will hit Steam because of their flip-flopping stance on adult games. After 0.4 updates will not be full routes in order to have shorter wait periods.

Should we take the Morbius route and begin imagining how great this release would be?
I loved the part where Alice yelled IT'S CUTTIN' TIME
