One update out. Time to build another one.

A big thank you for the patreons who help track down errors and bugs. I don't always solve the problem right away, but I'm always keeping an eye as reports come up.

Patreon doesn't allow goals right now, but I regularly get the question what would the goals be? So anyone who knows me knows this is more of a passion project than a real job for me. Most of the money coming in is going right back into art. The rest goes into a small fund that I'm setting aside if I need it. The most likely situation is an update really needs more art than my initial budget asks for. So currently I try to get 3-5 new scenes in every update. If the Patreon were to get to 3500 a month then I would up my number of scenes per update by another 2 or so. I could also bank up more funds for side projects like the eventual voice acting.

For real though, I'm in no place to complain. Support might have leveled off, but it's also not really dropped that much. I might see a bump after the game reaches a certain point in development or how hardcore it gets. But even if it doesn't the game can continue to develop at the current pace everyone is used to so far.

On to topic of game development in general I'm really learning as I go. This is the first project I've ever put together. Even at the very start of this project I began Googling, "Rpgmaker how to make a door." Anyway a side project I'm going to start up is making a big ol' road map. It won't be the same one I use. I don't want to spoil every scene, but it'll give people an idea of where the game is at in the development cycle and what to expect for the future. One of my biggest disappointment in adult games is when you find out a project you're supporting isn't going in the direction you hoped it would go. So, ya, a roadmap will help shine a light on that.

What else is going on? I gotta build a sewer now. If I can find an good enough excuse I'll find a way to put a tennis court down there...
