Hello friends.
Sadly, I have been unable to finish Triple Ex v0.26 in time to release it before I travel to Norway. I need to be frank; over the last year, my life has changed a great deal, and not all for the best. My free time has been severely reduced, and barring something drastic occurring, I can't see anything changing in that regard.
I can honestly say, this has been the first update I have worked on that hasn't been as enjoyable as the rest. With my now limited time, I feel under more pressure to produce updates, and this is in part because of the generosity of my supporters. I created the Patreon page as it seemed to be a part of the process of creating a visual novel, and I never genuinely expected anyone to support me.
Going forward, all I can promise is that I will continue to work on Triple Ex until its completion. Creating each update has brought me great fun and enjoyment, and I believe it will continue to do so, but I need to remove the pressure of completing each update as quickly as possible. The only way I can do that is by being straightforward with you all. I will keep to the format of posting three batches of preview images per update, but I can't specify or guarantee a timeframe, which was once 10-12 weeks for each update. Rest assured, I understand if my supporters wish to end their financial support, but the monetary reward, though greatly appreciated, was never a goal for me. My aim was to produce something I personally enjoy, and the hope is that it brings some fun to people who happen to stumble across it, and this is still my aim.
TLDR: my time is limited, updates may take longer, but production will still continue no matter what. Stay safe and have fun!
