" Expect another update after next weekend or so! "
Well, I expected it so where is it? Next weekend from May 30th was June 3-5. A whole week went by and another weekend. Umm...did he mean next next weekend? Guess we'll hear on June 30th how he broke his finger when he tried to click "build release" and now its delayed until October.
Another month of "almost ready". Yep, almost ready to start working on it, just not quite there yet. One day he'll be ready.

Might as well be. Not like there is anything to discuss on a game that is "almost ready" to be updated for 3 years.
neither can i (as in literally i don't believe it)

What do you mean there is no news in 3 years!? Stencilbits has posted every month since November 2019 that the update is almost ready. Thats 30 months of news. When he posts on June 30th that its almost ready it'll be 31 months of news.
Pffft, this guy saying there is no news.
I think this discussion thread has given me more hours of entertainment than the game itself. Thanks!

Hope is always the last to die.
You are welcome. I'm glad my shitty humor can give you a chuckle.
Lots of news just nothing of substance

Century? I'm thinking more like millennium.
On another note. I took a look at his Patreon and noticed it went from a steady 165 patrons to 153. For 2 years it remained steady at 165. Guess people are finally waking up.

Monthly Update: Belly Dancing Edition
You must be registered to see the links
Another hot summer month is once again ending, which means it's time for the monthly update! Since last time I have worked mostly on tooling for creating better animations and updating some of the older ones. This includes good support for motion capture data, inverse kinematics and hair/cloth simulation. Putting them together in a stable way can be surprisingly tricky sometimes. I also wrote (and also used some existing) scripts for cleaning and generating correct data for generic human models with clothing etc. support. The video on the preview is one example of that. Alice is doing a slightly clumsy belly dancing routine that shows motion capture data working together with hair and skirt physics.
With all that pain behind me, I can now again focus better on finishing some of the old content for 0.4 and putting it out, hopefully soon. I'm not going to try another prediction here, but I'm happy enough with the state after I update some old videos and renders. Of course, some of the older visuals look pretty ugly and embarrassing to me now after years of more experience with this stuff, but I'll have to put the release out at some point. The next release will also use a completely new renderer with better visuals. I'll try to keep the stylized look somewhat, but there will probably be at least a slight "art shift" after 0.4.
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.
