Hey everyone, just a quick progress update before I dive back into work.
I’ve been putting in as much time as I can since the last update, working hard to move things forward. Unfortunately, I hit a bit of a setback. On the advice of a few colleagues, I decided to make some content adjustments to ensure everything stays within Patreon’s guidelines. That meant reworking a couple of scenes, and as a result, tweaking others to keep the story consistent. In total, about 100 renders had to be redone. I am happy with how it is now and in some ways it's a bit better I think.
That said, I’m steadily getting closer to the finish line. There’s still a good chunk of work left, but I’m making solid progress. I know many of you are eagerly waiting for this release (and I really appreciate that), and I’m sorry for the wait. I’m pushing as hard as I can, but unexpected tasks keep adding time to the process.
I’m very confident the update will be finished this month, but I’m not ready to lock in a release window just yet. As soon as I’m sure it’s right around the corner, I’ll post again with a more specific timeline.
Hope you all had a great Easter weekend, and I’ll be back with more news soon!

and just yesterday my patronage expired?

Hopefully chapter 8 doesn't balloon out of schedule as much as chapter 7 has, 4+ months for one update is common for other games on this site, hell one year for one update is common for some titles - but I'd rather not see The East Block become one of them.
People hanging out for leaks will need to remember that the first actual release will be to the un-Tiered 'Loyal' patrons ($100 + 6 months) specifically to try to avoid Leakers.

I agree, update is taking too long. I'm trying not to be a negative nancy so I won't gripe too much.
Ultimately untapped potential just means another dev will deliver on that potential in the future.
You never know, someone could be lurking and planning their own VN as we speak.
Who will be the next Oppenheimer?

Not sure what you read there but he's not working on two updates, he's still working on the same one. His most recent delay was due to it being pointed out that a scene in the game may break Patreon's rules. Which is the one about excessive bodily fluids apparently, which I didn't even know was a rule.

Man if my bro the flasher can't come as much how is he supposed to give Kathryn 'the biggest load she has ever had'? He promised it to her not that long ago.

I can't figure out what could possibly be done in the game to fall foul of that rule. And I don't think there is one about "excessive" fluids, it's about fetishising them - so no quantity stipulated, but semen, blood, etc. all fall under that. I could be wrong, but it seems like most of the rules in this part of the Patreon guidelines are regarding "real porn", so animated/CG stuff gets more of a pass anyway.
So unless the update somehow fetishises Kathryn's sister beating up the guard and getting off covered in his blood or something, I don't think there'd be anything that we don't already see all the time in games that are on Patreon.

Well if Luke had let that happen it would technically be rape as she thought it was him. So I'm not surprised that Bobby stopped it there, regardless of player choice. Everything that Kath does should be completely consensual.

Well he does give her a big load all over her face and chest but only if you don't ask her to fuck him, which I'm willing to bet you never do.

She was enjoying it because she thought it was Luke. If she had known it was some random guy who was about to fuck her, she wouldn't have.

Agreed but she didn't know that she was pleasing Luke in that instance at the glory hole did she? She couldn't see him, she assumed it was him not some random guy. Not sure how many more ways I can explain myself.

Here's the crux of the matter. Yes, it's called rape because she didn't know, but with time she'll like it and want to do it again as long as she and Luke are happy.
