Hey, folks! Hope you’re all doing well this week! Just as a quick FYI: The Chapter 14 alpha is now available to all supporters, and the sticky’d post has been updated with a link. 

I’d hoped to at least have the beta out by now, but first my RAM died and then I came down with the flu. So this has been a frustrating, stymieing month to try to get things done. Now, I’m acutely aware of the bad reputation AVN developers have for being (suspiciously) catastrophe-prone. So, I decided to give my Discord community a play-by-play of my sickness with photos of my positive flu test and the thermometer showing my fever, over the four days I felt like death. 😀

But, I’m back to work now, and hopefully I can remain chaos-free for a while. If you happened to cast a hex on me, maybe consider lifting it. I’ve learned my lesson, I promise! But seriously, the first day I got to feeling better, I started back on finishing up Ch14’s beta. It’s mostly a bunch of boring UI stuff, a few bug-fixes, etc. But, it still takes time to finish up.

I’d really planned to get Ch15 out this month, but I super doubt that’ll happen, so I’ll be doing it in May. As I’ve said before, it’s going to be small and fun. It’s meant to be a return to the old formula of ‘meet a girl in need, and then do spicy things,’ after a couple chapters of heavy, serious story content.

By the end of May I plan to have Ch14 and Ch15’s public/finished builds available, and I’ll be onto Ch16. In the meantime, I’m also working on writing more short stories, updating S1 with some new functions, etc.

As I mentioned previously, I’m going to be a little more sparing with the in-game images in the dev updates, so I decided to whip up a couple images of Pepper and Gabby in the (mostly) same outfit. I really bought it for Pepper, but I wanted to see what Gabby would look like if she leaned a little more goth. I dunno, who wore it better? Comment and let me know!

Until next time, take care of yourselves – and thank you for your support!
