Hey, folks! Hope your week's off to a good start. Sorry to get this
up a day late, but the day job kicked my butt yesterday, and I didn't
have the energy to write this up.

In recent days I put out a new Season 1 build for all supporter
tiers, which integrated another three chapters into the newest version.
Two more to go, and that'll be it for Season 1. In terms of content,
this one is/was pretty modest. It adds a very small branch for Ashe from
her ero scene, which added a negligible number of renders. The main
purpose of the build was to update variables and continuity/logic,
tweaking some of Ashe's dialogue to reflect changes new possibilities
that were added with the previous Season 1 build.

It also added extras like A Slave to Desire and Blue Valentine to
the base game, allowing you to access them from the main menu. In the
next build, I'll have some more goodies in there, like the original
version of Chapter 1, and the super-short 'anti-Nicki' joke patch. And
this is all a precursor to eventually having a working gallery system
built into the game. I'm also working on getting the prose short stories
from the blog added in, along with character profiles, etc. Right now
you can expect the implementation of these additions to be a little
ugly, but I intend to pretty them up a bit over time.

I'll be unlocking the current build of Season 1 tomorrow, and
updating the blog's pinned post to remove some links that are no longer
necessary.

Now, as for the debut chapter for Season 2, I'm still working on
that. I'm about halfway through Alex's scene, which means I need to
finish that, a small scene with Cassie, and then the content with Gabby
which ends the chapter. After that, I'll be done. There's still some
work ahead, but the end creeps ever closer into sight.

This whole dual channel development thing, working on new material
while fixing up old material, put a real damper on some of my plans for
the year. I have timelapse videos for scene creations that I've been
meaning to record voice-overs for, I've got a spicy fantasy novel that I
want to release in serialized format that needs some edits, I've got
mini-game scripts similar to Blue Valentine sitting around waiting to be
rendered, and on and on. But, this whole year has been spent keeping a
bunch of plates in the air, leaving me without the time and energy to
focus on other, fun stuff. That'll all be coming to an end soon, and I'm
looking forward to having some free time available again.

Until then, thanks for bearing with me during this chaotic time. As
always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!
