Dev Update #37
Hello Patrons!
I hope you are all doing well. I've been sick for the past couple of weeks with RSV, which isn't fun at all. I'd never even heard of it until my brother called me and told me my niece had it, and I probably do too. I barely got any work done the first week because I was having fevers and coughing so damn much. This virus last weeks, but I've been feeling better and have been able to return to work the past week and have got a lot done. Only a little bit of lingering cough is left now.

As I've been working this past week, I'm getting a better picture of how big this update is. It's going to take longer than I thought it would. I'm already over +4500 lines of code of the episode, and I realized there is still a lot of the episode left to do. For context, episode 4 was 6500 lines of code long, and I will probably hit that mark after two more scenes. And I think I have like 5 or 6 more scenes to do. Some of them are long scenes.

So you're just going to have to be patient, guys. This is going to be a large episode, but I think it's going to be one of the best yet. Lots of content! There are lots of scenes coming in this episode that people have been waiting for. For example, lots of people want another anime-watching scene with Alyssa. I just finished that scene, and it's a great scene. And it gets spicy too!
Right now, I'm at +630 renders and 50 animations.

Have a good one!
-Jestur

Lizzie is like the best and worst part of the game cause she's the prettiest by far, but got no scenes whatsoever, she's just the prettiest mob.

Change of 0.4.6 over 0.4.5 includes: A tiny scene with Tiffany. Can someone tell me where it is? Somehow I didn't find it. And there is also one new animation. Where is that? Thanks!

Just finished episode 4, and my god, this is the coolest game I've ever played. The developer really has a talent. Graphics, animations, music, story. Everything is top notch. I was expecting the usual passable game for a couple of hours, but I spent both weekends playing this game and I don't regret it one bit. To write such a huge text and not descend into meaningless graphomania - a talent. The only game that made me feel like that was Once in a lifetime, but in Ripples I've already counted a lot of references to it, so + to the developer. Well, a few theories from me:
1. The man in the mask, it seems to me, is really our father. He has the same hairstyle (you can see it at the end of episode 3 when we have the dream with dad on the beach), and he's a time traveler, which correlates with our missing father. It's possible that the father traveled 20 years into the past, but couldn't go back, which explains his age.
2. I don't think the player is also his father. His mother only recently became pregnant in 1999, which means you have to wait about 8-9 months before his sister is born, which is quite a long time.
3. I think the player might be Skylar's father. Of all the mothers, she's the only one who reacted so unusually to him, and I don't think a photographic memory and "oven not turned off" is reason enough. If I met someone who looked exactly like someone I'd seen 20 years ago, I'd just think they were related. When I showed pictures of my father when he was my age, my friends thought it was me, rather than building theories about time travel, or running away in terror. I think the player with Luna is going to have sex. Skylar's age at 19 is quite suitable for conception in September 1999.
Either way, episode 5 should shed some light. Oh, and the player is a doofus because he didn't think to read the message from Skylar for the entire hour that he and the masked man were walking to the time machine.
