changedHello, everyone! The latest overhaul image preview has been updated again for patrons.
addedAside from further bug testing, the overhaul is essentially just waiting for the last few bits of art. "Few bits" being a couple of background images, some UI assets, and a handful of new sex scene images. The background images can probably be knocked out before long, but the sex scene images could easily take a few more months. I know some of you must be tired of these micro updates to the current release. However, I also know many of you have voiced your preference to have these things finished before release, so I'm considering doing a closed testing of the overhaul before it goes public.
changedThere are character voices on the way as well, which goes a long way into breathing life into these character interactions. I'm very excited to be able to have at least some screenshots or clips to show off in the near future! But for now, on to this week's changelog.
