Schedule change + Discussing funds


I'm almost done adjusting D1, hopefully I'll never go back to it again, except for typos if anybody reports them to me.

I wanted to thank the people who recently pledged. We really needed that additional help. I managed to afford 4 new songs and the CGs are almost fully ready.  So far I have----

Ryan D4 and D5 CG
Blake D4
Dylan D4
Patrice D4
And on my to do list is Blake D5 with Clyde's D4 CG next month.

We don't have enough funds to cover all 7 routes. Russell and Liam won't get CGs unfortunately.
This isn't permanent though! I'm going to be setting a goal of 120 euro monthly to unlock Liam's CGs and 200 for Russell's CGs. That way I can safely cover everything and have nothing to worry about.

The current amount is 75 and honestly 120 goal is optimal. 99% of people enjoy Russell for the story he provides, not exactly the character itself and I appreciate that a lot already. He was my experiment and I'm happy people had fun with it!

Fixing D1 took a lot of time which I didn't except so I'm going to delay fixing D2 and resume producing content. Starting this month---- new updates will stay on Patreon for an entire month before public release. So the schedule will be

For May nothing comes out on Itch
On Patreon for May D1 reworked

For June D1 reworked drops on Itch
Meanwhile on Patreon Ryan D4 will be available

And this is going to be the new schedule moving forward. I personally didn't want to? But we all need funds and hopefully this will encourage people to help us afford new materials.  It's not easy having to spend 300 euro monthly and, yeah, reaching 120 makes this WAY easier on my end.

I will start working on that guide to choices people asked me next month and the 3rd feedback session is also on my mind. I wasn't doing well, got sick for a whole month and that slowed me down greatly, I'm really sorry. I will do my best to catch up and resume a steady release production.

This is understandable. A lot of other VNs also do like 4 routes then do the OTHER routes when they have the time and money (usually after the first 4 are done). Doing seven routes at the start was insane! It was a great idea but that is SO much work/money to do. Thank you for your efforts for this VN, I really enjoy reading it.

It was about recycling assets. The longer this project lasts the easier it gets on my funds because I can keep using the sprites/music/BG I already have.

This was just one of the many reasons I wanted a wider cast. Taking my time to develop everything properly isn't an issue to me.
