I just went though the first part and am so ready for the second part!
Oh great! It's delayed, but coming soon. Just maybe 3 to 4 dozen image renders to go and a couple animations to finalize and render. Should be done with AI voice files today. Bit of delay with getting audio from one voiceover artist, but I'm guessing I'll have those finished and integrated too in 3 weeks or so. From there, Patreon members get it first, over 3 weeks depending on whether they're "gold", "silver", "bronze", etc. THEN general release.

Custom names are being removed?
Ah, you saw the poll! Nah I don't think so. Including them to begin with IS my one regret though. Because, since I'm so committed to voicing everything now, there's obviously no way to accommdate the MC's name in voiced dialogue, so I end up substituting "boy" or "man" or "cutie" or whatever. It's just too much extra work to "fix" that now, and then players (I'm guessing you're one?) who like the custom name would feel cheated - that's not right so I won't change it.

According to yesterday's update the dev hasn't matched his late October deadline. Looks to me (no Patreon supporter) he finished the artwork a day ago. Scene scripting seems finalized about two weeks ago. Not sure how much work still has to be done voicing the characters.

I would be happily surprised if the upcoming general release takes place before Christmas, looking at the non-accurate (updates to the) release window and the medical issues that several of the dev's family members appear to be facing. In this regard I'd like to express my concerns that this game shows several signs of future abandonment.

No future abandonment I think, but thanks for providing an update. General release around Christmas is probably pretty close to the mark. All images rendered, all scripting done, all voices done. Still have two animations to finish (keyframes and figure/camera movement complete, but they both involve water, and water splashes are tricky) and assigning most of the sound FX and music. The remaining stuff before completion is 1-2 weeks from today. Then gets released to Patrons and 3 weeks later general release.

Developers are people too and have unplanned stuff happening to them or their family.
It's always better if they take more time and make game how they envisioned then to rush half assed products.
Especially if game is high quality like this one.

Have a look at these menacing broads! Do they look like they have patience to accomodate dev?

It's always better if they take more time

In case you forgot or never played this game before - they will beat the dev up hard!

Don't I know it! Sometimes your best creations can turn around and control you, giving you no way out! Don't think my ladies haven't given me a black eye or two! :eek:

Greatly appreciate your support! Life doesn't always allow as much time for non-paying work as we'd like.
